Thanks for the pictures! We were there in May showing some friends around from CA. Spring and Fall are the best times to go. The changes taking place and colors are spectacular. Also, there are fewer of our species around.
Just my opinion. Decent price = yes. Maybe.
We have purchased over a dozen used vehicles and many more new ones.
Hope you don't mind some other observations:
I would like the service intervals to be 5,000 miles apart instead of 10,000.
Also the mileage could be better.
Then too you are out...
I agree with Jetboy: " You might find that the atrac system and low range is good enough without lockers for anywhere you're realistically going to try to go in a 5,500lb luxury suv." A couple of Cruise Moabs with good instruction showed me that a stock GX or 4Runner(A-TRAC) did just fine...
"The problem is that there really isn't anything else out there that's a comparable vehicle - ie body on frame suv that's smaller in size. most of the reason I use the SUV is for camping and road trips where having all the gear inside is more useful."
My family's experience/opinions...
You might want to modify the title of your thread. The first FJ Cruiser was classified as a 2007. There were no '3, '4, '5 or '6 FJ Cruisers. Although, if you are trying to attract attention, it worked!;)
Like I said, we don't have to agree. I'm choosing to go with what the manufacturer of Land Cruisers says rather than what I think it should logically be called. Toyota have the right to use/change whatever nominclature they want. It is their product, not mine or anyone else's. Please read...
Welcome to MUD and congrats on your new FJ.
I have seen pics of a few of these. It is interesting that Toyota(at the dock?) appears to be installing tow hitches that attach to the left and right frame rails instead of the OEM(that bolts to the rear cross member) we are used to seeing.
OP, We have had lots of dogs. All of the them were rescues and we still do fostering for a breed rescue. We empathize with you and wish your family the best. It's never gets any easier seeing a buddy not doing well. Take your friend to the vet and have him checked out regarding his accidents...
Of course, we are free to call the FJ Cruiser what we like.
Toyota calls the GSJ15 a Land Cruiser.
The GSJ15 is more fun and safer. Our old 80(like the early 100) was more 'practical' with 4 regular doors, but didn't have the safety features like standard curtain and seat mounted side...
