Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., announced the Toyota Racing Development Special Edition package for the 2007 FJ Cruiser.
The TRD Special Edition package adds several exterior performance enhancements to the 2007 FJ Cruiser. Included in the package are TRD/Bilstein® off-road tuned, red painted shock absorbers. The special shocks are designed to enhance straight-line stability, decrease brake "dive" and acceleration "squat" yaw response, stability and roll feel, body motion characteristics, shock impact and off-road handling. The seamless monotube design provides superior tube strength while maximizing heat dissipation and shock life.
Additionally, TRD has synchronized the locking differential with Active Traction Control. The locking rear differential no longer overrides Active Traction Control, enabling the FJ Cruiser to navigate more easily over boulders.
Unique exterior enhancements include an all-black paint scheme with a black roof and "TRD Special Edition" badges. The Special Edition package will also feature a set of five TRD 16-inch alloy wheels with a gunmetal gray painted finish and BFGoodrich® All-Terrain tires with wheel locks, TRD performance exhaust and rock rails.
Inside, the Special Edition package is equipped with seat-mounted side airbags and front and rear side curtain airbags, and a multi-informational display which includes compass, inclinometer and temperature gauge. The Special Edition package also includes a two-in-one AM/FM audio and 6-disc CD changer, quickshifter (manual transmission models only) and all-weather front and rear cargo floor mats with a TRD logo.
Only 3200 units of the TRD Special Edition FJ Cruiser will be built. The Special Edition package will carry a base MSRP of $7265 on manual transmission models and $7250 for models with an automatic transmission. The base MSRP for the FJ Cruiser 4-wheel drive models start at $23,090 for the manual transmission and $23,500 for an automatic transmission.1 The TRD Special Edition FJ Cruiser will arrive at Toyota dealerships in early November, and will also be on display at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in November.

You could do that yourself through aftermarket parts for about 40% of the cost. not much of an upgrade!

Nice truck off the lot, but too expensive for what they are adding. As Maxx said the price is way too high.
