The highlander is car based and does not have a low range. It is built for folks who want 4wd but don't plan on actually going off road - more for snow, family safety, etc. It favors road manners over off-road capability and has lower ground clearance. Think of it as tall 4wd station wagon similar to a Subaru Forester.

The FJ is built to be very capable off road and has a low range. It would be perfectly fine on road but not as comfortable or as agile as a Highlander in daily driving situations.

A 4-Runner may be a nice happy medium for you. Have you considered it? You might also consider a Tacoma.


I would wait and drive all of them.


By the way - Welcome to MUD!!!

FJC all the way, in terms of 4x4 FJC is WAYYY better.

You really cant beat the price for what you get, if you wait passed the dealer mark up.
