Haddad also displayed a video about the world's first Crawl System, and explained that this innovative feature manages both pedals, maintaining a constant low crawl speed, enabling the driver to concentrate on the terrain ahead. The system minimizes wheel-lock and spin, enhancing vehicle stability and the capability to free the vehicle from difficult spots.

As for the FJ Cruiser, Haddad said that it represents one of the most advantageous design package for off-road driving, combining a short wheelbase wheel·base
