I know a few people who bought an FJ, believing they were getting the Toyota version of the Honda Element. They didn't understand the difference, which is why they sold it after 10k.
I am actually glad to see it happen. FJ's need the "right" owners.
That thing does look like an enlarged Highlander. Maybe it will grow on me, but it looks like a"cross-over" suv at this point.
tn and chukar. Apparently you guys don't like the FJ. Great. I think there is therapy available for the homophobic and anger issues you are dealing with. Best of luck.
Thanks for all the interest in this vehicle. I believe I can answer several questions here without having to send 20 emails.
Yes, this vehicle came from Maine and now resides in "The Rust Belt". Is there some rust on the frame and the axles? Yes, but it is very much on the surface. I had an...

A good friend of mine lives in Bolivar, MO and has a silver FJ that is ALWAYS muddy, as he lives in the country. He hunts and fishes around your area on a semi-regular basis. He is not on this board, but I will ask him if he has been in Rolla lately.
The FJ is his first non-American made...
My 80 feels like a dump truck (on the road, of course) compared to the FJ. That is not a slam on my 80, as I love the vehicle. The FJ is simply newer, faster, less noisy, lighter and a manual transmission. It feels like a sports car compared to the 80. Which brings up another valid point: The FJ...
I completely agree with you that The FJ wins the "fun to drive" category of the 3 Cruisers. I just drove a little over 1000 miles in the FJ and did wish I was in the 100 at about the 500 mile mark.
I am fortunate enough to have an FJ, 100, and 80 series. They are all different and I love them all! Unfortunately, if I absolutely had to pick one Cruiser, it would be the 100. It does everything fairly well, which is rare for any vehicle. It does not suffer from a slow motor (80) or blind...
The Toyota web site does not state specifically whether the rear locker is a standard with the MT, or should I state more specifically that I could not find it.
