Teased by Toyota and titled the FT-4X, the concept car in question could well be the successor to the legendary FJ Cruiser, or a potent 4x4, at the very least. Shrouded in mystery, the FT-4X dates to October 2016 when the Japanese marque trademarked the name in the United States of America.
Rife with speculation, enthusiastic off road forums claim that a replacement to the FJ would befit the next generation Jeep Wrangler and the upcoming Ford Bronco, with an aggressive design and increased ground clearance.

Wrapped around a chunky tri-tone wheel and tucked below a black fender, the teaser image hints at orange sheet metal and wheels that have been pushed to the extremities for improved handling and presumably a shorter overhang.
Until its unveil on the 12th of April, keep the guesses going as to whether the FT-4X could be the next FJ Cruiser or merely a rock-crawling compact SUV.
