The Toyota FJ Cruiser possesses one of the worst blind spots on any new vehicle offered today. Thanks to its blocky styling that gives it a massive c-pillar, as well as a view-blocking spare tire, the FJ Cruiser makes backing out of a parking spot rather difficult. To combat this, Toyota announced today that the 2009 FJ Cruiser will be available with an optional rearview mirror with a built-in camera display.
Leftlane recently spent some time in a Hummer H3T with a similar mirror and we can report that it makes a dramatic difference when backing up. When the vehicle is put into reverse, a 2.4-inch (on the FJ Cruiser) LCD screen automatically appears within the mirror. Toyota hasn’t released pricing on the optional mirror, which will be produced by aftermarket supplier Gentex.
