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.
