No More FJ Cruiser… Rumors

November 2nd, 2008 · 1 Comment

The Internet has spread more urban legends like no other other media outlet before it. You know what we’re talking about, those stories that continue to surface every year or two, such as McDonald hamburgers are made with worms, 10 foot alligators living in the New York sewers feeding on rats or how Vegas prostitutes are drugging their johns, removing their kidney and selling them on eBay.

A recent rumor circulating through the Internet is that Toyota is secretly discontinuing their 2009 FJ Cruiser. Oddly enough this rumor has been fueled by user discussions on Toyota’s own FJ Cruiser Forum, known as the Blue Forum. When we heard this, we quickly went to the source, Toyota’s Open Road Blog to get the facts. According to Jon F. Thompson, Editor, Open Road, in his post, The FJ Cruiser Reality: It’s Alive! “That’s just wrong. False. Not true.”

We are glad to hear that others have the opportunity to purchase one of the best built rigs available today and that Toyota will continue the long line of the cruiser legend. We will see what happens when 2010 comes around.
