When Toyota first released the FJ Cruiser as the replacement for the FJ40 around a decade ago,there were a lot of people that weren’t happy with the styling, the size and the fact that it didn’t really feel like the spiritual successor to the beloved Land Cruiser. But if it had looked like US Specialty Vehicles new Rhino XT, no one would have cared. Built on a mechanically stock Jeep Wrangler Unlimited platform and drivetrain (3.6L V6 285hp engine mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission) that’s outfitted with mean looking body panels and a new rollcage, and with enough leather-trimmed creature comforts inside to make anyone happy, US Specialty Vehicles Rhino XT rethinks the entire “luxury SUV” category… kind of like its bigger brother the Rhino GX.
