I don't know how upgraded your 4Runner would be--a fully loaded one has essentially everything a LC 100 series would have and be a bit smaller. I actually liked the looks and feel of them more than a new LC. I would go it before a FJC, if I understand your needs correctly.
My impression is that one reason you don't want to run it until empty, is due to the accumulation of crud that could settle in the tank.
On diesel vehicles, it is a royal pain to resart after running out of fuel.
I got to drive one yesterday. It was a 2wd automatic that was pretty well loaded.
The vehicle looked ok on the outside, some of the plastic items seem to be asking to get knocked off. The driver seat is a little difficult to adjust. The gauges were easy to see and the various adjustments...
Could you describe the mirror system in the FJ Cruiser that you saw? I was not able to get close enough to evaluate it. Does it have the "Obects in mirror are closer than they appear" warning for the entire mirror? Were you able to drive it? How was the mirror position adjusted? Did you see...

Currently, there is very little information at my local dealership. A sales person cave me a little information that they recieved and nobody else has said a word about anything new.
The dealership is pretty small with low sales. I was told that up to this point they have sold one RAV4...
I had not seen interior pictures before. If this is the final revision of the interior, it doesn't do much for me. It seems like they have taken the worst from the old art deco'd it and made it into this.
