You can see how quickly sales numbers fell off after the initial few years:
Toyota FJ Cruiser
U.S. Sales
2006 56,225
2007 55,170
2008 28,668
2009 11,941
2010 14,959
2011 13,541
2012 13,656
2013 13,131 |
Could it be dependent on actual quality of this truck? Last fall my wife wanted a new truck and FJ was first choice, but we couldn't find one that didn't have steering wheel not shaking at highway speed (actually found ONE, but dealer managed to damage it prior to delivery). We had to get 4Runner insted, even when we liked it less overall.
