Toyota FJ Cruiser

[Kasota]

Anybody have any experience owning an FJ? Thanks for any information or opinions.

My friend has one, he loves it.

Rear vision (read blind spots) and mpg's are the only complaints I have heard.

Have a friend that has one and he really likes it.

I've heard some people don't lile the way you open the back door. Sounds like it can be a pain in parking lots.

I had one
barn door aerodynamics 20 mpg at best 15 gal tank = 300 mile range bad blind spots poor interior space for gear

So, a rolling turd?

I have a 2012 Trail Teams and love it! Drives great and rides great. Tons of mods and upgrades available.

Blind spots are fixed by a pair of $4 convex mirrors.

My understanding is that this is the Last Year for the FJ.

They are now making a 2014 4-Runner Trail Edition to augment that end of the line.
Saw one in Edmond last week.

For what it is worth.

I have one. It rides smooth, has a V-6. The rear seating area is a bit cramped. Handles pretty well. The front seats have lots of room. As said earlier, big time blind spots. I'm glad it has a rear camera that comes on when you put it in reverse. Rear visibility is next to nothing.
