The FJ Cruiser is expected to retain its resale value better than other comparable off-road SUVs, including the Nissan Xterra and the Pathfinder. It’s one of the newer models on the list, first introduced in 2003. The vehicle is a fun off-roader, but it has some practical drawbacks – it ranks dead last in fuel-efficiency among other vehicles in its class, at 20 m.p.g., and it doesn’t have as much cargo room as its size suggests. Still, the FJ Cruiser is projected to have the best resale of any 2013 model.
