Is the FJ Cruiser Available as a 7-Seater?

The Toyota FJ Cruiser was designed as a rugged, off-road-oriented SUV with a focus on durability and adventure rather than maximum passenger capacity. From its introduction in 2006 until production ended in most markets by the late 2010s, the FJ Cruiser came exclusively with two rows of seating for up to five passengers.

Factory Seating Configuration

• Two front bucket seats

• A rear bench seat accommodating three passengers

• No third-row seating option in any trim or market version

Why There’s No 7-Seater Version

Toyota engineered the FJ Cruiser for off-road capability, which required a shorter wheelbase and tighter body proportions. Adding a third row would have required stretching the frame or reducing cargo space, both of which would compromise its trail performance.

Aftermarket & Custom Solutions

While Toyota never offered a 7-seat FJ Cruiser, a small number of custom conversion shops and aftermarket fabricators have modified interiors to fit an additional row. But, these are rare, can be expensive, and may impact comfort, cargo space, or safety.

If you need a 7-seater Toyota SUV with similar off-road ability, the Land Cruiser Prado or Land Cruiser 200/300 Series are better factory options. The FJ Cruiser remains strictly a 5-passenger adventure SUV by design.
