Toyota FJ Cruiser Axed After 2014 Model Year
According to Toyota’s fleet site, the 2014 FJ Cruiser will be discontinued after the 2014 model year.
Last orders for the Toyota FJ Cruiser will be due in June 2014 for the FJ Cruiser, which originally debuted in 2006 as a 2007 model. The first couple of years, the FJ Cruiser enjoyed great sales in North America, with over 100,000 units moved between U.S. and Canada.
It took a sharp decline from there in 2008, with 28,688 units sold in the U.S. and 2,630 in Canada. Things haven’t looked much better since for the FJ Cruiser, last year the Japanese automaker moved 13,656 units in the U.S. and 726 units in Canada.
AutoGuide reached out to Toyota to confirm that the FJ Cruiser would be discontinued for retail sales, but the automaker declined to comment on future products.

I've been planning on getting an FJ recently. I'm going from a pick up guy to an FJ old guy, lol.
FJ designed like the 1970s FJ40s with a diesel would sell out the house.
