Let me know if i can help. I had the same question and based on the little bit of research i did it did appear to be a US spec truck but don't take my word for it.

There are lots of threads on this forum that discuss the topic of identifying US vs. OTHERS, so I won't repeat all that info.

The CL listing is gone so I don't have any pics to reference, but one of the first things I always look at is the speedometer. Like the other things (dash pad, heater, roll bar, etc.) it is not 100% always an indicator, but a good clue in the right direction as to the answer.

USA models should have a speedometer in miles per hour (MPH). Most others will have a speedometer in kilometers per hour (KmH).

You didn't ask but my "two cents" is that the non-USA models can be a good deal sometimes and it is not hard to upgrade things like heaters, role bars, disk breaks, etc. Don't cross one off just because it is not a USA spec model.

It looks like there are a couple guys in Orlando and Miami who are importing lots of them and selling them on CL for what I would consider a fair price. As long as you know what you are getting and it is a fair price, I don't see anything wrong with getting a non-USA Cruiser.

Just my thoughts ...

The aircleaner under hood is different. On us spec the filter housing is on top of the valve cover. On non us spec the filter housing will not cover the valve cover. We’re talking oem. These parts can all be changed out. I hope it turns out to be a us spec for you.
Let us know how it turns out.

Thanks for the insight! Are you saying this in general or about this particular FJ?

In general. I haven’t seen this engine compartment for reference.
