Road test: 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ
Test Summary
The news that the FJ has been reborn as a compact Land Cruiser was met with great expectations. Its mechanical DNA largely comes from the Hilux and Fortuner, but this is not necessarily a bad thing.

Makes sense, it is nothing like a 2011+ FJ. I have no desire to buy this.
