The 2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser comes in one model with a choice of three drivetrains: rear-wheel drive with five-speed automatic ($23,320), part-time four-wheel drive with the automatic ($24,910), or full-time four-wheel drive with six-speed manual ($24,500).

Upholstery is water-resistant fabric and flooring is a rubber-like mat.

A Convenience Package ($2,175) adds keyless entry, cruise control, power side-view mirrors with image lights, daytime running lights, privacy glass, rear window wiper; and rear parking sonar. For 2009, it also includes a backup camera and auto-dimming rearview mirror.

Upgrade Package Two ($2,310-$2,720) delivers all of the above, plus a subwoofer.

An Off-Road package ($1,035-$1,375), available only on 4WD models with the Convenience Package, includes P265/75R16 BFGoodrich Rugged Trail tires on unique 16-inch, five-spoke alloy wheels; trail-tuned Bilstein shock absorbers; a Cyclone air pre-cleaner; a locking rear differential that works in conjunction with A-TRAC; and the multi-information display. Only the 2WD base model can be ordered with the TRD Sport Package ($2,580), which combines off-road-type wheels, tires, and shocks with an all-white color scheme and TRD decals.

Stand-alone options include 17-inch alloy wheels ($650), the rear differential lock ($340), running boards ($345), and daytime running lights ($40).

Safety features include Toyota's STAR Safety System that combines Vehicle Skid Control to help the truck go where the driver steers, even on a slippery surface; traction control to reduce wheel slip and thus enhance traction; and anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist. Side-curtain and front-seat side-impact airbags are also standard, along with the required dual-stage airbags up front. So is a tire pressure monitor.
