2021 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4.0L - Full Visual Review + POV Test Drive

[@DimachkaS]

I love my '07 FJ in this same color, runs better than the day I bought it 250K miles later!

[@CarK1992]

Here in Dubai it's one of the most preferred car for desert off-roading :)

[@drdeonlombard4806]

Just bought one

[@Rainy_Day12234]

There’s definitely a large market for this in the USA.

[@CarK1992]

Absolutely, let's wish they restart this production in States

[@lynnferguson7349]

Toyota should bring some to the US....they would sell fast

[@CarK1992]

Yeah, there's a lot of fan following for this one

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

5:35 How many blank switches do you want? Toyota: Yes

[@CarK1992]

Yes, that's a big put-off!

[@jagaro]

You realize the blank switches serve a purpose, right? For example to install a new switch for auxiliary lights...

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

@@jagaro Yeah I thought you could cover them up with your own buttons.

[@indiefab]

I think it is a base 4x4 model. You can see the "Bulk Sales" sticker on the window. My first guess is it is for the police and they would use plenty of those blanks for lights, radios, etc.

[@BL-tr2ug]

Good video demo. It would be better if the OP was ok with answering questions. It's mad that some middle eastern markets ans south America are the only places you can buy new 2021 FJs. Of course the screen would be backwards compatible, and the console controls. Very cool. Considering the mods that can be done those blank switches would get used in no time at all. Thanks for post. Definitely jealous of you being able to buy a 2021 FJ. Go easy over the speed bumps though!!!!

[@CarK1992]

They had to continue here bro or else Toyota would have annoyed a major chunk of buyers.. Glad to see Fj fans from States :)

[@wokervo2738]

Lol I was just racing a infiniti g34 and a mustang with my dad is his 2007 FJ cruiser, and then I Reccomended this, i wish i can have this new model. It still looks very alike. They hardly change the look of it. Nice Vid btw.

[@scotianbank]

If Toyota made an ACTUALLY 2021 FJ Cruiser, they'd make a friggin' fortune! I get it, I love this car, and it's exterior looks still look amazing, but it's interior looks, specially it's technology and safety features, are basically 15 years old (except for the aftermarket Infotainment system, but those suck, so it's still no good). And I don't know about the motor, but I know that if they're using the same engine as the last actual production year from a decade ago, it's also pretty outdated, you'd get better performance and efficiency from a less gas-guzzling engine nowadays. Shame really, because the price tag isn't particularly cheap in the first place!

[@CarK1992]

Hey Scott, you really got to check the car. I drove it months back (the 2021 trim in mid option). Check with the dealerships in Dubai, they export brand new cars from Dubai to all left hand driving countries

[@happysoom5046]

It’s an actual 2021 just not for sale in the US

[@scotianbank]

@@happysoom5046 I know, what I mean is, an actual update with 2021 tech and features. It's sold new, but it's basically just a 15 year old design, with 15 year old tech. Imagine if it had new electronics, a better engine, etc, etc

@@CarK1992 I wouldn't look for that exact 12" head unit. Overseas electronics tend to be tuned to different radio frequencies, although most of us tend not to use AM/FM much any more.

@@2021._.rav4 - What killed the FJC in the US market is the recession hit in '08 tanking the economy, but gas prices soared. Not a great selling environment for a big, blocky vehicle with a 19 gallon gas tank, that got at best, 17mpg in the city and 19mpg-20mpg on the highway. And remember, in early FJCs, Toyota recommended premium gas. Big ouch to the wallet. Toyota didn't do anything to improve gas mileage. Sales dipped dramatically and never really recovered.
