The Bonhams listing says Hanks commissioned this special FJ40 to be competent both in the wilderness and on the highway and that the well-maintained FJ40 is still a strong, usable, and good looking truck.

The interior is "lightly used", with the paint said to be “sound and presentable.” Apart from a set of power operated Porsche high back seats, there are center-facing folding seats in the carpeted rear compartment. Entertainment comes from a Sony AM-FM-cassette stereo with extra speakers in the rear. It also has air conditioning to complement the factory heater.
