Best vehicle I've ever owned. I bought a 2007 put over 200,000 abusive miles on it. Took it around the country across crazy terrain smashing up the body panels and up quad trails to the top of some of the Rockies peaks. All stock and no troubles! It never let me down. I bought another 2014 FJ a year ago and gave the 07 to my nephew. He just stopped by with it today and the damn thing runs perfect still. As far as driving and visibility it's like most cars, you get used to it and it's no bother at all. The truck is an awesome long distance highway drive for an suv. The truck handles incredibly well it's just a matter of trusting the dynamics of the vehicle. As far as mirrors it's like any truck just make sure to adjust them to face a bit more outward and after a short while it'll be second nature using them and you get a great coverage. Has one of the highest crash test rating and it has held the highest ranking for resale value out of any car made by a large margin for years.

I got mine barely a month and got bogged in a river. Water seeped into the cabin and up to the seats. I just let it dry and it ran perfectly like nothing happened. I am totally impressed with the FJ.

Bret Martin Congratulations Bret! Your model sounds wicked!! You’re gonna fall more in love with it as time goes on. My vehicle has nearly 300,000 miles and still going strong. There isn’t another car out there that I want. For me, nothing else compares. I wish they would start remaking them again, so I can upgrade - sort of waiting for that. Never giving mines up.

I bought mine with 175k on the dash and towed a 22-foot RV with it across the country in 3 days. He was a champ. By the time I got to the west coast, the maintenance light came on. I got an oil change and that was that. Zero trouble on the road! I love this thing! ☺️

You're RIGHT! An FJ Cruiser is ALL OVER Charisma! You're WRONG! Turning radius is Great & driving on the road is doubly GREAT! Also I Love accelerating through the turns. IT DOES NOT DRIVE LIKE A BOAT! Are you kidding me? Who Paid you to say that? JEEP? Driving on the roads is my favorite thing. It is REALLY SMOOTH, handles WELL and it TAKES on Pot Holes like a Champ! I can't take my hands off my FJ! I love the way it drives, I love the way it handles and my stock 11 speaker w/Subwoofer Bluetooth Stereo is LOUD & Clear! Bluetooth phone setup is also a dream. Yeah Toyota may have discontinued making the FJ in 2014 but I OWN one. (Army Green 2014, YES!) 'fist pump'.

This guy gave the FJ a somewhat Negative positive review. He says that the FJ is "impractical", "its hard to see out of" and "it turns like a battleship"? My 2014 FJ Cruiser is getting me 20.34 mpg on average 340 miles per tankful. And we go shopping and drive me to and from the golf course so its extremely practical for me. If you are a person unfamiliar with side mirrors I can understand why you'd feel blind spots in an FJ Cruiser. And I love leaning into the curves without brakes to get that exhilarated feeling as we whip around the turns. Driving like a boat is quite the exaggeration for enjoying the feel of the ride. And to beat it all the FJ is a fantastic daily driver being both comfortable and reliable and having the best world for their users.

i completely dissagree with the visibility and turning radius! the visibility is DIFFERENT but the blind spots arn't a problem if you can shoulder check, also i can turn my fj around on a simple 2 way street with curbs if i'm as far right as possible without any reversing or a very small 3 point turn, no worse than any car i've had

Ehh, i have a 2013 TTSE and the visibility is piss poor. But once you understand it you can easily look past it, but for the general public it would be very scary to deal with. U-turns arent bad unless you are 4wd, then you will be looking at multiple point turns. I absolutely LOVE my FJ through all of its minor faults, just as the video review states.

I purchased a BMW Z4 convertible for driving pleasure, but I prefer cruising around in the FJ. You indicate that this vehicle is strictly an off-roader, but I beg to differ. It's the ultimate all purpose vehicle which combines styling, 4x4 performance, street cruising comfort, wow factor, and all around driving fun. You took away any semblance of credibility with the exaggerated turning radius video. You complain that the dash board is plastic; what car today is made of other materials? It comes with Toyota quality and dependability; I've never had any mechanical issues.Love love love my FJ!!

I bought one of the first 2007 FJC's on the lot in 06, fully loaded. 6 speed full time drive train, TRD wheels, 16"s not the 17's, 32"BFG ATko's, not the original all season (17's and all seasons, RELLY!), and TRD s.s. cat back exhaust. It was fast, if it was just a little wet I could eat any 2wd off the line and for something so off road capable the handling was amazing! I loved the full time. If I had to shift the transfer case and lock the center diff, all the pavement based AWD/4WDs (all seasons 17's/18's & handle like cars) had already fallen behind part way up a hill in the mud or snow, If I needed more the FJC still had lo range 2.56:1, a-trac and a rear locker. The Rubicon has an off road edge, 4:1 t-case, f&r solid axles, lockers and 4.10:1 gears. On the road my FJC had a big edge, more power, independent front suspension, 3.90:1 gears and full time 4wd, no KJ cold touch it. I put over 60k on it in just over 3 years and not one problem. That's because like the FJ40 the FJC is still built by Toyota and Toyota= reliability. Jeep is owned by Chrysler LLC. and although they have come a long way they are not on par with Toyota's reliability and resale value. I have owned 6 Toyotas 86 2wd pickup 100k+, 93 2wd 4cyl pickup with a Lock Right locker 100k+, 98 4wd TRD off road SR5 6cyl pickup 150k+, 07 FJC 60k+, 09 4wd SR5 4cyl 30k+ (head on 70 mph), I now have a 2010 Taco 4wd TRD off road SR5 4dr 60k and I love it ! But I wish I still had my FJC too, it was a lot of fun:)!

Drive it a few weeks and turn Your lazy head over Your shoulder and the blind spots are no more. LOVE the "Cabin " feeling inside behind the wheel.

He's exaggerating the faults. 😂 I have a 2011 FJ Cruiser and I have to make a U turn every time I go to the shop. Samson (my FJ) makes the turn in one shot. There is some body roll for sharp turns, but I've taken Samson up and down mountain roads several times and he's done just fine at 60 MPH. As far as visibility, everyone complains about those pillars and I don't see why. I can see just fine. The mirrors work well, even when I'm using Samson to tow my 22-foot RV which is much wider than he is. Men always come up to me to ask me how in the hell I tow with an FJ. He tows just fine on premium gas and I keep my weight under 4k (his limit is 5k). Try to tow on regular and he'll tell me where I can shove the 89. He drives fine on 89 when not towing, though. I haven't done any serious off-roading with him, but he rolls through mud, dirt and gravel like it's another day at the park. Aside from how thirsty he is, he's also a great daily driver.

Visibility is not bad at all. I have had no complaints with visibility in mine. As for the turn radius, this guy couldn't be more wrong. I do complete U-turns in places I never thought possible. Turn radius is actually pretty good. It is very, very comfortable on-road driving as well as highway driving. Comfort puts the jeep wrangler to shame. Not to mention the Toyota reliability. This guy obviously doesn't have much experience driving the FJ.

The mirrors are small? They're the size of dinner plates! I'm not sure I agree with your assessment of its road manners... I can punt mine pretty well through the twisties (for a proper off-road vehicle that is - its a relative thing). Battleship it is not. Visibility... yeah, you're right - the A-pillars + the dinner plate mirrors are pretty obstructive, especially when you need to look right (or left in your case). And thank god for the rear camera - it would be a nightmare without it. But in traffic, its height is marvellous, and with the stubby nose it's pretty easy to judge where everything is when you're in a tight spot. For a 4WD that's straight off the showroom floor, it's pretty hard to beat. I love its competence and its simplicity, as well as its looks. It has a cult following and in Australia, and these things are no longer depreciating.

Just wondering do you own an FJ? I have an 07 and find that it works well on and off road. Is it like a Lexus on the road? No, but I have owned lots of Lexus, porsche, mercedes and other "luxury" brands and to date this is my favorite vehicle I have ever owned. It is fun to drive, and very capable. I also love the look of it and everything about it. Some complain about blind spots but they have never bothered me because I have driven box trucks, work vans, etc that have no visibility. I use blind spot mirrors and common sense and never had a problem or felt dangerous. All that said it is one of the top resell value cars ever produced. I plan on keeping this forever and pass it on to my son one day (he is currently 8). If it goes up in value like the originals do then it is also an investment.

a hybrid would be nice, either diesel or gas... can't wait for the next gen (hopefully there is one). would be so cool to get such a package from toyota. a solid and fuel efficient proper 4x4.

1st - this same FJ in decent condition in 2018 is selling for $1000 more than original sticker. 2nd - the FJ will do every road shown above in 2WD. Only a few times n Moab have I needed 4WD.

Question for the reviewer: Do you own one? If yes, I would like to ask if it still is awesome after months of being with it, and would you recommend it over a, let's say, Jeep Renegade?

I've had mine for over two years. Love it. No problems with it that I couldn't fix myself for minimal cost. Very reliable and very good in bad weather and rough terrain. I highly recommend them. But like he said it is like driving a boat or an APC, it's not for everyone.

I have one and it's a little over a year now. It's one robust vehicle. I did not treat it like a baby. Sank it a river the shifter is already in the water, went over gravel roads on high-speeds, descent into a pool of mud, dirt, lahar, drove along cliffs, it's my adventure vehicle and it runs like nothing happened. Oh yeah, mine's all-stock with those crappy tires that came with it out of the showroom floor.

Lousy and inaccurate review. "Turns like a battleship" ???? -B.S. it turn like a sports car with zero sway, yet the ride is smooth and not stiff. Best built auto ever built. Incredible handling around corners. Visibility is NOT a problem. My FJ (2010) is 8 years old, but rides and looks like a brand new vehicle; no exaggeration. This is a piece of equipment not merely a suv.

This really isn't a good review at all. I have a car with worse visibility, has a much better turning radius than any dodge or ford I've driven, can handle turns on back country rough roads over 80kms per hour comfortably as well. As a daily driver it is actually very practical even if not used off road much. I have an 07 and the wife drives it as much as possible :). This IS a true SUV for sure ! I personally appreciate the lack of extra interior gadgets and electronic crap.

There is a lil fragment of weed on the dash. BTW. It is a great handling SUV, solid at 70km\hr in off ramp curves and great entering highways. Also has a smaller turning radius and footprint than a JEEP.

Back seat visibility is HORRIFIC. I don't recommend fourwheeling with people in the back, there's nothing to see for them, won't be fun. It would be easy to get carsick without visibility.

sproesser1 Hey guys just a quick update: After riding in an FJ, while I loved the looks and all, the back seats were WAY too small, C pillars were huge, windshield was to small in height, and overall felt very claustrophobic inside. I ended up buying a Lexus GX470, and man I am happy. For less, I got one with entertainment system, and snow tires, and navi. Love both cars still, but dat GX doe

I like Your review but Know from My ownership how Wrong You were about turning radius. I can make a U-Turn better then any SUV I have driven or watched turn around. I go on thousands of mile road trips and on the HWY it's also a dream ride. Visibility lacking goes away after a short time driving it. Turn Your head and Look it's that simple.
