For North America, in 2007 Toyota Racing Development (TRD) produced 3,200 units as the limited production TRD Special Edition FJ Cruiser. This model was released with not only the body painted black, but also with a matching black roof to set itself apart from its normal, white-roofed counterparts. The TRD Special Edition model includes things such as the TRD cat-back exhaust system, TRD cold-air intake, Bilstein off-road tuned shocks, rock rails, 16-inch alloy gun-metal gray finished wheels with BFGoodrich All-terrain tires, and TRD badges. The TRD Special Edition also includes mechanical changes to synchronize the locking differential with the active traction control (resulting in the rear differential no longer overriding the active traction). When FJ Cruisers first started getting built in early 2006, the rear differential would override the active traction control on FJ Cruisers, except in the TRD Special Edition FJ Cruisers that were built. However, by November of 2006, Toyota started making all FJ Cruisers so they would have this function.

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or edition:
“It is a maxim among these lawyers, that whatever hath been done before, may legally be done again: and therefore they take special care to record all the decisions formerly made against common justice and the general reason of mankind.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“Books have their destinies like men. And their fates, as made by generations of readers, are very different from the destinies foreseen for them by their authors. Gulliver’s Travels, with a minimum of expurgation, has become a children’s book; a new illustrated edition is produced every Christmas. That’s what comes of saying profound things about humanity in terms of a fairy story.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
