Does Toyota Still Manufacture the FJ Cruiser?

Toyota no longer manufactures the FJ Cruiser. The retro‑styled SUV, introduced in 2006, was discontinued at different times in different markets, with final production ending in 2022.

End of Production Timeline

  • United States – Sales ended after the 2014 model year due to declining demand and shifting market trends.
  • Other Markets – The FJ Cruiser continued in select regions such as the Middle East, South Africa, and the Philippines for a few more years.
  • Final Production – The last new FJ Cruiser rolled off the assembly line in late 2022 for the Middle East market, marking the end of global production.

Why It Was Discontinued

  • Declining sales after initial strong demand.
  • Increasingly strict emissions and safety regulations.
  • Market shift toward more practical and fuel‑efficient SUVs and crossovers.

Current Availability

While no longer in production, the FJ Cruiser remains popular in the used market. Well‑maintained examples hold their value and are sought after by off‑road enthusiasts and collectors.
