It may look like a big toy, but the FJ Cruiser actually offers some pretty impressive off-road capabilities. All models are equipped with a 4.0L V6 that delivers 260 hp and 271 lbs.-ft. of torque. Two types of transmission are available, a 5-speed automatic and a 6-speed manual. This beefy SUV certainly stands out in the Toyota family, whose other members, like the Camry and Corolla, are more sedate.
