Al-Futtaim Motors Toyota recently teamed up with UAE Explorer to search for a travelling reporter who will make the Ultimate UAE Explorer for 2012.

The partnership consists of offering the 2012 FJ Cruiser, the ultimate fun, sport and adventure car for free to the winner of the contest for a period of 12 months. The car will be put to its ultimate test by the winner to travel within the UAE, exploring a plethora of adventure tours, while staying at stylish hotels, enjoying the best meals across the emirates' best restaurants, and indulging in the most luxurious spa treatments.

Al-Futtaim Motors Toyota will also give away 10 Driving Experiences vouchers to 10 different contestants to experience the toughest sand terrains while on a desert safari with Toyota's expert drivers team.

"When we were approached by the Explorer team regarding a possible tie-up on this project, we immediately had a positive feeling about it as this is very much in line with what FJ Cruiser represents. The retro styled FJ reflects an attitude of adventure, sportiness and fun. As soon as it was launched in the UAE in 2007, the car gained great popularity among off-roaders and the general young Toyota enthusiasts," said Julian Redman, Senior Marketing Manager Al-Futtaim Motors Toyota.

The FJ Cruiser is descended from a long line of legendary Toyota off-road vehicles, including the leading and world-renowned Toyota Land Cruiser. The FJ Cruiser has a muscular 4 litre, dual VVTi engine, 270 HP, V6 engine coupled with an advanced 5-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission and differential lock, which delivers a powerful and responsive drive off-road, and smooth acceleration on-road.

The FJ Cruiser's extremely strong, frame-based platform and lightweight body are perfectly designed for off-road driving, outdoor leisure activities and urban driving. It has excellent safety features which make it the ultimate fun yet safe car to take on the most challenging terrains.  The FJ Cruiser is equipped with Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control (on the SE), and anti-lock brakes with EBD and Brake Assist. It has dual airbags and an energy absorbing structure in the roof, combined with a tough body that meets the most stringent safety requirements.

The FJ's interior is flexible, fun and functional, designed to meet most kinds of leisure and off-road driving needs. The roomy interior ensures space for 4 passengers.
The seat material is water-repellent and the interior materials ensure that dirt, dust and water can be easily cleaned away, following adventures in the desert or at the beach.

"We are confident the FJ Cruiser will double the winner's excitement during his long driving hours. With roof lining speakers not found in any conventional sound system, the winner will be cruising with his own music club on board, enjoying an exceptional shower of sound flowing from the roof" concluded Redman.
