Toyota is thinking about coming out with the FJ Cruiser it looks like it could be a great truck but I am looking for people to send feedback to Toyota to let them know what people want. Here is an example of the E-mail I sent to Toyota please read. If you would like to see something like this let Toyota know.

Thanks here is the E-mail I sent.

I think that if you would make the FJ Cruiser that it would do very well. There are some very important things that you would have to do though! NO IFS! NO Plastic! NO Carpet and leather seats! Keep the car a rugged outdoors car with 8" axles front and rear. Coil over suspension, Disk brakes, manual hubs and a low crawl ratio. If you have noticed the Jeep Rubicon it is very Spartan and yet still has a good following. I like the look of the FJ Cruiser and it would be a great platform for improvement.

So here is my wish list;
-FJ Cruiser Body style out of steel or aluminum no plastic!
-3.4L turbo engine.
-Automatic and Manual transmission
-Gear driven transfer case 3:1 or lower gear ratio.
-Front and Rear solid axle with coil over suspension.
-Lockable diffs front and rear.
-Manual Hubs
-Central Tire Inflation
-min 33-35" tires stock on 15X9" rims
-No carpet! LineX or Rhino liner sprayed floor, firewall and doors with drain holes in floor.
-No headliner, no fabric door inserts water resistant fabric seats.
-built in rollover cage

What a truck it would be! It would be like the original FJ40 but with the new reliability and materials of today. I love the fold down cargo compartment and the two piece glass rear. Please don't let this truck get soft. We need something like this now that the Land cruiser and 4runner have turned into very capable mall runners. I have owned 6 Toyotas and I have loved every one of them and I would buy an FJ Cruiser in a second if you could keep it authentic, utilitarian and purposeful. It would be a big hit.

Sorry you are absolutely right, I should have searched the forum first but I still think that this is a valid statement and that we should get a tough no nonsense truck.
