Powering the FJ Cruiser is Toyota's 4.0-liter V6 engine, a proven motor also used in the 4Runner, Tacoma and Tundra. The engine pumps out 239 horsepower and 278 pound-feet of torque, the sort of grunt that comes in handy when traveling off-road or when towing. Those figures represent 19 more horsepower and 53 more pound-feet of torque than provided by the inline five-cylinder engine the Hummer H3 and 49 more horsepower and 43 more pound-feet than the inline-six in the Jeep Unlimited Rubicon.
The FJ Cruiser is rated to tow as much as 5000 pounds, 500 pounds more than the H3 and 4000 more than the Jeep.

And a dump truck's got power too, what's your point here? One look at the tcase, it ain't serious. How strong's that long, unsupported roofline going to be in a rollover? By the way, that engine is no inline. I'd take the Jeep's engine over the V6 for offroading, and the H3's just fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we all know it could be more. When you're crawling with a 4:1 tcase, 4.56 gears, just how much horsepower does one need? Listening to that video, the FJ is a rev/drop/bonk monster, highly unpleasant. I've done too many creek bottoms on the rocks to put up with that.
