Offered at $30,000, this 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4×4 shows approximately 137,000 miles and is located in Durango, Colorado. Finished in Iceberg White and powered by Toyota’s legendary 4.0-liter V6, this is a rare 6-speed manual example equipped from the factory with an electronically controlled locking rear differential. Colorado-owned since new and carefully maintained, this FJ combines inherent off-road capability with thoughtful, restraint-driven upgrades, making it a standout for buyers seeking a clean, honest, and increasingly hard-to-find enthusiast truck.

Highlights:
  • A Modern Off-Road Icon: Produced from 2007 through 2014, the FJ Cruiser was Toyota’s retro-inspired tribute to the FJ40, blending classic design cues with modern engineering. Its body-on-frame construction, short overhangs, and factory trail hardware have earned it a lasting reputation as one of the most capable off-road SUVs of its era.
  • Proper Powertrain, Properly Spec’d: This example is powered by Toyota’s 4.0-liter DOHC V6 rated at 260 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque, paired with the desirable 6-speed manual transmission. Manual-transmission FJ Cruisers came standard with a part-time 4×4 system, 2-speed transfer case, and factory electronically controlled locking rear differential, offering true mechanical traction without reliance on electronics alone.
  • Clean Exterior with Smart Upgrades: The truck rides on ATX AX199 satin black wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich KO3 all-terrain tires sized 275/70R17, widely regarded as an ideal upsized tire for a stock-suspension FJ with no rubbing. Discontinued Metal Tech rock sliders, carbon-tinted windows, and a recent windshield replacement round out a functional, purpose-driven exterior.
  • Honest, Well-Preserved Interior: Inside, the cabin retains its factory water-resistant seating and heavy-duty all-weather flooring, complemented by WeatherTech floor mats for the front and rear. Interior plastics have been consistently treated with 303 Aerospace Protectant, preserving original finishes and avoiding the wear often seen in trail-used examples.
  • Ownership & Condition: A two-owner, Colorado-owned FJ since new, purchased Certified Pre-Owned from a Toyota dealer at approximately 21,000 miles. The frame and undercarriage present very clean with only minor surface rust, consistent with climate and use, and no off-road abuse reported. The title is clean, and recent maintenance includes spark plugs along with brakes and rotors on all four corners.
Why This FJ Cruiser
Manual-transmission FJ Cruisers are increasingly scarce, and clean, unmodified examples are rarer still. This truck hits the sweet spot: factory locking differential, stock suspension geometry, correct tire sizing, and high-quality protective upgrades where they matter most. Add long-term Colorado ownership, disciplined maintenance, and a drivetrain known for longevity well beyond 200,000 miles, and this FJ presents a compelling case as both a capable adventure vehicle and a long-term enthusiast hold.
