Click image for a gallery of the FJ Cruiser Trail Teams in Detroit

While walking around the Toyota display during the last day of the NAIAS press preview, we encountered an FJ Cruiser we'd never seen before tucked iaway in the corner. Finished in white with a white roof along with black wheels and accents, it featured "Trail Teams" badging on the IP and bodywork and "PROTOTYPE" lettering on the rear window. We rang up Toyota to get the skinny, and found out that this vehicle is coming in February.

A limited edition truck in the vein of the all-black FJ Cruiser TRD Special Edition (http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/30/trd-special-edition-fj-cruiser-package-camry-hybrid-gets-300-b/) that was offered last year, 3,200 FJ Trail Teams will be built, each with the white-and-black motif you see here. In addition to the exclusive color combo, the FJ Trail Teams' standard equipment list includes 16" TRD wheels, a TRD exhaust, rock rails, skid plates, auxiliary lamps, all-weather floormats, and the contents the Off Road Package that's optional on regular FJs. Inside, white body-color inserts can be found in the door panels and on the stereo surround, and the knobs for the shifter and transfer case are metallic. Pricing for this spiffy-looking new FJ variant hasn't been announced yet, but we should know more before its launch next month.

A Toyota Discovery, by God sir.

Or is it the love child of a Hummer and a Range Rover?

It's still a Toyota isn't it. And very Americanized.:(

ARB had a yellow one, for development work last year and was at the Wandin 4x4 show last year. It is small inside, and is based on the Prado frame
