It has been stated that this new adventurer will be optimized for truly heading off-road; all-wheel drive won\u2019t just be there for safety, but will instead feature a true AWD system with real ground clearance and a smaller wheelbase for navigating rocky terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Toyota has flirted with a new small off-roader in the past. Concepts have made appearances, such as the FT-4X at the New York auto show and the FT-AC at the LA auto show. However, it was generally assumed that these were merely alluding to an upcoming new RAV4, rather than indicating that they would be released as a model of their own.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thirdcoastautos.com\/blog\/used-trucks-inventory-models\/\">Available Used Truck Models with Financing in Austin, TX<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Buy a Used Toyota FJ Cruiser in Lincoln, NE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To experience the true Toyota FJ Cruiser, come <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thirdcoastautos.com\/used-cars-austin-tx\"><strong>check out our used inventory at Third Coast Auto Group<\/strong><\/a>!
