Toyota
FT-4X has a rugged charm but still arguably good because its design is simple,
the inherent capability, durability, descendants and charm. No doubt this car
appears to embody the rider desires.
The
FT-4X has a classic appearance similar to that used by FJ40 Land Cruiser as to
inspire its style, such as the concept’s upright windshield, flared front
fenders, short overhangs, white-painted roof, and horizontal front face with
block “Toyota” lettering in place of the traditional “T” badge connect the
FT-4X to its Land Cruiser lineage. Furthermore, Toyota fits a vertical picture
window on the driver’s side of the vehicle. The brand notes that the window is
removable and owes its inspiration to the windows fitted to the old Toyota
pickup Xtracab models and the original Toyota 4Runner. Odes to modernity
include hidden rear door handles (as on the C-HR), a GoPro camera mounted
within the driver’s-side mirror, roof-mounted power outlets, and a special
bi-mode hatch.
The
FT-4X's tailgate can swing down or out, its rear hatch is able to swing up in
one piece like a conventional hatchback, and open outward like a pair of barn
doors. Users turn a big industrial-style handle at the rear to choose which
opening method what they prefer. The FT-4X’s cargo bay features a storage
compartment and a handful of tie-down hooks. Folding down the rear seats
creates a flat load floor extending through the cargo area.
The
boxy FT-4X’s interior design is a modern take on the basic themes employed by
youth-courting precursors. The FT-4X has water bottles built into the front and
rear doors, a ceiling-mounted light in the rear that can be removed and used as
a flashlight, a front dome light that also serves as an exterior beacon, and a sleeping
bag that stores in the center console to become a central armrest when not
being slept in. Other cool stuff includes a removable audio system and a glove
box surrounded by rotating air vents that can warm up, cool down, or dry off
items such as gloves or other clothing. Navigation functions are handled via
the owner’s mobile phone, which slides into a socket atop the digital gauge
cluster.
