ECD Auto Design announces the launch of its latest product line: the classic Toyota FJ retromod. This new venture marks a significant milestone in ECD’s journey, celebrating the legacy of the iconic Toyota FJ while infusing it with modern automotive excellence, according to the company.
The Toyota FJ is celebrated for its iconic off-roader status, exemplifying ruggedness and livability. ECD’s passion ensures that each FJ embodies the original’s rugged heritage while incorporating the innovative enhancements that make it an ECD bespoke vehicle.
As of July, ECD is adding clients to the wait list for its FJ models. Production for the first FJ models will begin in late Q3, 2024, with deliveries expected in Q1, 2025. The vehicle will be produced on the SUV line with the Defender and Ranger Rover Classic SUVs.
“The FJ will seamlessly integrate into our SUV lineup” said Scott Wallace, CEO of ECD Auto Design. “We took the time to understand the best fit that would allow our world-class technicians to excel on this new SUV and adding it to the line made perfect sense.”
“We are thrilled to introduce this masterpiece to our discerning clients and continue our journey of excellence with a new product line,” continued Wallace.
