Review: 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser

[@zimman56]

I think the FJ is even better than the Wrangler, hands down

[@zimman56]

I don't really know what to call my dad's FJ, but I love it just as much as he does. He bought his to replace his old 80's 4-Runner, and he's told me he likes the FJ wayyy more. My advice though, do like my dad did, get the stick version, more control when offroading, especially downhill.

[@abl78]

we just got one..same color and loving it !

[@marcopolozx11]

Just bought mine yesterday... Fun as hell !!!

[@theguyyah]

I never notice that it has three wiper blades until I brought myself one lol

[@SlideShowz-f9q]

remember dat FJ is based on da classic 60s FJ.Hummer was still new

[@TCB1468]

Is this or the wrangler better for off road

[@meazikinu9968]

Is this more than 1.6 cc?

[@LOGIKLAG]

remind me what suspension trophy trucks have?

[@Zinizzle]

I love Toyota trucks. I wish they would fix the visibility issue on this, and give some updates VERY SOON to the new 4Runner. The driving position could use some improvement, and over all quality in materials.

[@Matlow63]

@CoreyCJordan Mate you need to pull you head in. A stock wrangler can go where a FJ can? Only the driver can prove a car and where it will go. And for the record, I have been driving a XJ Cherokee for 10 years and have pulled more than my fair sahre of wrangles out of the bog. I think and from what Toyota have been able to do over the years, I think they have a truck that will take on Jeep, both in sales and style.

[@smileynirvana2]

sure if you look up how many axles are powered by the drive train on a trophy truck. the ifs on those bad boys are aftermarket and there is no turning drive train components within to break in the front. the ifs is there for a smother ride at high speeds. go 4x4ing at high speeds lol

[@dagrome]

In my opinion the only two choices most people have for off roading are the FJ and the Wrangler. Land Rovers - Expensive. 4Runners - Less Capable at off roading. XTerra - Less capable. Hummer - Less capable. So which should you choose? I don't know, who would you trust more, Toyota...? or Chrysler? I think the choice is clear... FJ Cruiser for the win.

[@CourtyardPigeon]

I test road one and couldn't get over the blind spots....really heard to see out of if you're tall

[@Mogiron10]

the fj cruiser is the boldest suv out of hummer and jeep..great car and its a toyota! i love my fj cruiser.

[@nizmo128]

LOVE FJ!!!!!

[@spontastic]

@TCB1468 this is better the fj can go up to its wheels in water stock and its also a very well built car its a toyota too meaning that it will likely run for a long time and toyota was originally the rivals of land rover meaning their cars are some of the best offroaders

[@riverdave7]

How are these in the snow? I live in Canada

[@andyrobinson2476]

They are awesome in the snow, but beware of undercarriage rust due to the salted roads.. They are susceptible to rust issues.

[@MBZ-Nation]

@rivengle, I like the FJ, but for someone to say the FJ looks good, and the Hummer looks ugly, is like the pot calling the kettle ugly. Both look good for what they are.

[@CoreyCJordan]

@ripstikman96 Hogwash... I can take a bone stock Wrangler places you would have to airlift the FJ Snoozer into... It's a nice truck for daily road use, but you would have to spend vast amounts of money on aftermarket hardware to even approach a basic Wrangler JK in off road capability... We don't allow stock FJs or Xterras to go on our Jeep Noobie trail runs, because we spend too much valuable time winching them off of obstacles, or towing them in when they break.

[@CoreyCJordan]

@Matlow63 Lets see, in October of 2010, Toyota sold 1,240 Snoozers. That same month, 8317 Wranglers were purchased. Meanwhile, a redesigned Wrangler will be released in 2012, with the 290 hp Pentastar engine and a six speed automatic. Also, Jeep expects to introduce a scaled down Wrangler-like off road vehicle before 2015 to join the Wrangler on dealer showrooms. Seriously guys, if you want to go where the Jeeps go, you'll need a Jeep or very deep pockets.

[@TCB1468]

OK Thanks

[@led123ingham]

i am getting one of the toyota fj cant whate

[@TEAMFAVRETTO77]

yes man I now! but tha land cuiser is based on the land rover and the willis! but you see tha fj cruiser like a hummer

[@TEAMFAVRETTO77]

yep!

[@meazikinu9968]

Hey please tell me the cc

[@thatcoolcat1]

4l engine, 4000cc

[@WorldOfIvillis]

I literally don't like japanese cars but this is too awesome. I love the design... I would consider this for my first car. Heo yeah! Lowlolol

[@GoTea01]

@CoreyCJordan So basically you are admitting that the FJ "snoozer" is better in every possible aspect than the wrangler except off road? I think for 95% of people, that is a good compromise

[@SimbaTheGreat]

i like it cuz it looks awesome and it has 3 windshield whipers lol

[@AdamP152]

@coandcaiv Harsh words considering the original model BJ (FJ's predecessor) was essentially just an upgraded Willy's Jeep. What the fuck do you think the "J" stands for? Jelly? It was called the "Toyota Jeep," but better known as the BJ, for its type B engine. The US military went to Toyota during the Korean war with the jeep blueprints, and they essentially just copied it with slight improvements. The new FJ is great, but off the road, it still doesn't match the performance of the Wrangler.

[@stevenstritenberger1761]

Bullshit...

[@hendragster]

FJ rules!

[@CoreyCJordan]

The street oriented Wrangler Sahara is better off road than the FJ (Fake Jeep) or the Xterra. The Sport S is better than the Sahara, and the Rubicon is the ultimate off road Wrangler; the best off road vehicle you can buy in an American showroom. I'd take a Hummer H3 over the FJ Cruiser.

[@CoreyCJordan]

@ripstikman96 LOLOLOL Wranglers are not about speed... And yes, I've driven several Snoozers, and winched out many more. The FJ is a nice SUV, but without investing a lot of money, that's all it is.

[@h3e44]

is there such thing aven american cars use foreign parts and some are even built in foreign countries yes mexico and canada are foriegn and if the car is a jeep its owned by a foriegn auto maker. go figure

[@SlideShowz-f9q]

at least FJ dont copy hummer

[@rivengle]

dude hummer is american. it already is ugly. the fj isn't ugly. its a case of awesome funk. plus, its a reinvention of a well known classic

[@smileynirvana2]

sigh solid axles always win over ifs and irs. look up tough truck challenge or top truck challenge. pount out the ifs vehicles? thats easy none. if there was that tie wearing rich boy would get laughed out of town. you ever hear of toyota solid front end axle swaps? poor boys buying a ifs and wishing they had solid.

[@HFLanciaStratos]

A Hummer H2/H3 for people who actually want a good car.

[@EatmyDust1311]

wrangler. shorter wheelbase, more clearance and cheaper

[@stevenstritenberger1761]

Dont forget the rust, it loves the Jeeps, lol.

[@charaderaptor]

dont forget china :)

[@jeremy8715]

[@TEAMFAVRETTO77]
