This is what I'd imagine a FJ Cruiser successor would look like and it's everything I've dreamed of! I can somewhat see the old model in this new iteration and it just looks so much more off-road ready and rugged than the Tj Cruiser. If Toyota is to produce only one, pleas let it be the FT-AC.

It may not be perfect, but the crossover will have to do if it does come out because Toyota seems to be going the compact route for both concepts instead of a mid-size SUV. It's a good alternative because I just can't justify the high costs of a used FJ Cruiser. A body-on-frame design is preferable, but what we're seeing is okay too.

But who knows, maybe prices of used FJ Cruisers will drop enough by the time Toyota releases the FT-Ac and I'll go get one.

It sure does feel that way unless Toyota has another ace up the sleeve.

I know the 4Runner sits in the mid-size segment and it has a good portion of the market. If fact, they have been killing it with the 4Runner sales after they pulled the FJ. This model is perfect for those who are looking for a Cherokee Trailhawk with a Toyota badge on it.

I looked at the 4Runner too, but with a base-price of $34,410 it is just out of my reach and it just doesn't have the same appeal as an FJ. The FT-AC would hit that affordable yet fun sweet spot for people like me.

Maybe they're deciding to stick with the FT naming scheme?
If FT-4X seems to have received the green light to go ahead for production, maybe the same would apply to the FT-AC?

How they label it really is misleading, made me think the FT-4X passed those interest group tests and was going into production. toyota should just have a section for concepts...

Probably so the new car won't constantly be compered to the FJ when it comes to performance because certain badges carry certain expectations. It's like the Wrangler, you won't see the nameplate on a city driver.
