Toyota FJ Cruiser?

[WhiteyMacD]

They seem to be a popular vehicle in the mountains. Last time I was in Pagosa, every other vehicle was a new FJ.

Not to be totally off topic, but what kind of shape is you K-5 in? Looking to buy an older 4x4 pretty soon. PM me if you want.

Only complaint I've heard is the windshield catches EVERY rock and cracks farely easy.....well I guess the price as well...

Cons: not the best gas mileage, poor visibility, small backseat, windshield prone to cracks, can't take the top off, design is almost too cartoony

Now that is true.................................. and funny!!

FWIW, My son had an 08 trail teams edition and the frame developed a couple of cracks so Toyota made him a good deal on a model 10, he likes the vehicle
pretty well, he is really a soft roader a little hunting and scenic views is pretty much what he does. Gas milage as noted earlier, lack of visibility and premium fuel recommended.
You might want to look at FJ Cruiser Forum for more information.

I would rather have a new 4 door Jeep Wrangler....I'm a Jeep guy though. FJ's are nice, but WAY overpriced...

drove an 84 FJ-60 Landcruiser wagon for 15+ years.
one of the most dependable trucks ever made.

only reason I sold her was due to mileage. terrible mileage.
12-14 mpg on the road. gearing was way too low... if gearing was correct for road use... mileage would jump up 2-3 mpg.

an old FJ-60 Diesel wagon is the hot ticket.... good mileage with true FJ characteristics the new Landcruisers don't have.

a cummins 4BT conversion into a FJ-60 wagon would be hot too.
