The upgraded 2010 FJ cruiser will be arriving at Toyota dealerships this month of August. Expect to see a tweaked version of the 4.0-liter V6 petrol that gains dual VVT-i and roller rocker arms which add 19 horsepower for an overall output of 258HP along with a one mpg increase in the mid-sized SUV’s fuel economy.

The current FJ cruiser’s 4.0-liter V6 produces 239 hp and 278 lb.-ft. of torque while returning 17 mpg in the city and 21 mpg in the highway for the 2WD version and 16mpg and 20 mpg respectively for the 4WD model. The 2010MY FJ Cruiser features minor suspension changes that reduce the turning radius by more than a foot. It’s also available in a new Army Green exterior color. The base MSRP for the 2010MY FJ Cruiser will range from $23,680 for the 2WD automatic to $25,270 for the 4WD automatic, or an increase of $360 over the 2009MY models.
