Also, I've heard the new FJ's have a better engine with better milage and you can run 87 in em. That's just what I've been told though.

You can run 87 in the current motor....it is only rated for PREMIUM to meet EPA standards but they run great with 87...TRUST ME
I actually have tracked my mileage for a year now without missing a fillup...and got my best performance on the highway with 89 Octane from Sunoco or 93 Octane from Shell....but running 87 Octane from Sunoco or BP was only .5mpg difference and usually I do it around town and then try to put Premium in her for a long trip or when wheeling.
I have talked to a couple guys that work with Toyota and one is in Japan right now actually. 09 was to have new silver color, new Trail Team version, added rear back up camera, and a switch to turn off side curtain airbags....otherwise was same vehicle as 08.
2010 is losing voodoo blue and going with an olive or shade of green....some minor body fender mount changes and a couple other small things but was told engine was tuned to give a little better performance but basically unchanged. We shall see when they finally release specs.
2010 and maybe 2011...then suppose to lose 4Runner and FJ Cruiser and Toyota is thinking about coming out with a new offroad rig that takes best of both. OR so we have been told. There is a lot of misinformation out in dealerships depending who you talk to....so nobody really knows until they start back up the assembly line in Japan in August....if then.
