The Toyota FJ Cruiser is a special SUV -- and today I'm going to review the Toyota FJ Cruiser to show you why it deserves to make a comeback. First I'm going to show you all around the FJ Cruiser, and I'll show you its quirks and features. Then I'm going to drive the FJ Cruiser and explain how it drives.

    drink15 what do you think gap insurance is? Gap insurance is optional and sometimes required when taking out a loan for a car or house. You have your main insurance that covers the current book value of the car during total loss, then Gap insurance will cover the “gap” between what the book value and remaining amount owed on said loan. If he didn’t put anything down or very little down, he might owe more on his loan than what the car is worth.

    @@woohunter1 Gap insurance covers you if own *more* than the car is worth. If you borrowed 10,000 but insurance will only give 8,000. Gap would cover the missing 2,000 to pay off the loan. This guy borrowed (or paid) 34,500 in 2013. The car gained value to 37,700. So the insurance paid his 37,700. Where does the gap insurance come in?

    The "pepper grinder" shaped gear lever was supposed to be a removable, working shovel handle. Also, some of the interior lighting was supposed to be removable, and act as flashlights. The front seats were also supposed to be able to fold down flat. Last thing I remember reading, is that the entire inside of the vehicle was supposed to be waterproof, so that you could easily hose it all down without having to worry about damaging anything on the dash. The rumor is Toyota scrapped all those features to obviously keep the cost down.

    Being able to hose down your interior is something I don't think I could ever do no matter how much they guarantee it but removable interior lights to use as portable flashlights would have been cheap and practical for a vehicle in this category. Shovel idea not a bad idea either, just put the spade and other attachments into a custom tool bag and store under the passenger seat. Ahhh what could have been.

    I drove an H2 for a couple years and in comparison I would say the FJ (trail teams) feels much better on ice and snow. The FJ is reasonably responsive both on the throttle and steering whereas the H2 felt like driving a boat. Somehow the visibility in the FJ feels much worse than the H2. Haven't had the chance to do any FJ off-roading yet.

    I'm on my second FJ and love them. Bought both new. I'm 6'4 and test drove a 4 Runner and just didn't fit in the seats in terms of shoulder room. I went with the FJ because it has a TON of interior room (at least for the driver and front seat passenger... the back seats are claustrophobic). Agreed on the windshield... I'm due for windshield #4. They get nailed by rocks and then crack. Don't forget Toyota reliability. I'm at about about 200K miles on my second one and no problems whatsoever (and it's been to the Arctic Circle and back). Awesome vehicle.

    The light on the side mirror helps spotters judge the width of the vehicle in dark trails. The FJ, Tacoma, 4Runner, Prado, etc share the same underpinnings so they're quite capable and they're tried and true. Think of this as the Japanese Hummer, with the footprint of a Jeep Wrangler.

    @@aravindsuryadev7349 'English' is what (at least some) American car manufacturers call Imperial units. The last US car I had gave you a menu choice between 'Metric' (which gave you metric units) and 'English' (which gave you imperial (US) units). I have never heard anyone use the term 'Exchequer units' so I've no idea where you are getting that from. I guess you are thinking of the related 'Exchequer Standards': en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchequer_Standards Of course, just to add to the confusion, genuine 'English' units (i.e. for English people, as opposed to Americans) would give miles and degrees C, because that's what we largely use these days, which is of course mixed metric and imperial.

Every bug explodes and every rock does significantly more damage than it would with a more conventionally-angled piece of glass. No problem in town or at lower speeds off-road, but at highway speeds nothing will hit the windshirld that you don't know about. And the triple-wiper setup makes changing wiper blades(which you'll do more often because of all the bug juice) more of a hassle than a typical vehicle. Great little trucks, but I wouldn't be in a hurry to buy one for highway commuting/road-tripping.

    I thought I was a good design till I when saw this FJ. The thing is amazing. Respect to Jin Won Kim (designer) Akio Nishimura (chief engineer). If I ever put up such a masterpiece on planet earth, Then even if I die, I would not complain. I give it 11 out of ten on everything and I dislike whoever dislikes it.

    The reason there is no "F/C" is because I am pretty sure that button also changes units for the fuel range, average/instant economy etc. So it is either English or Metrics for everything. That's how it is on my Toyota.

    I have seen these FJs for sell with 90,000+ miles and they are asking over $30,000 for it so you know these vehicles are durable and the value doesn’t depreciate too much. Probably also because they are discontinued that keeps the value high.

    I just recently acquired an FJ and couldn't resist to watch Doug's take on it.....I don't have the pepper grinder due to mine being a manual, but I found it hilarious that he said you can operate climate dials with your feet, with shoes on! :) I must say, the car has personality unlike most modern cars these days. Funny thing is that I had my eye on FJ for a long time and was debating if I should put snow tires on my baby, the '02 Saab 9-3 Viggen convertible, but ran into a mint '07 one owner Fj that was bought, religiously maintained at the same dealer that it was later traded to and drove as if it came of the production line that morning. 120k on the clock and the previous guy replaced everything at the dealer....including the windshield wipers...all three of them lol. I made a deal at $18.250 and now 3 payments later I see them going for around 27000 with 2-3 previous owners....insane! There are a few common things I've noticed FJ community is complaining about. Some creaking noise from the dashboard but not on all of them even though mine has it from time to time. Another thing is that gasoline nozzle tends to backpressure due to the angle of which Toyota engineered its' hose going into the reservoir tank. Also, a lot of people are complaining about frames getting rusty in just few years and hood not being welded properly. Few things That pleasantly disappointed me, lol, are the music system....loud enough but also the clarity was on point. The engine power is on point as well and it has that real engineering feel to it while driving and being far from bouncy off-road feel for the daily driving. The sound of its' engine is very pleasant to the ears too. I must disagree with Doug on the rear seats. They're not the most spacious, but far from cramped. Me standing at 5'9" I find them really easy to get to when moving front seat backrest for a second and hopping in. Also, the 400W outlet in cargo area is a really cool feature to have for camping. I love the car more each day and don't think I'll be selling it ever...just like the Saab

    I bought my 6-speed FJ in 2007 and just sold it with 287,000 miles 1 week ago it was one of the hardest things I ever did . It is by far my favorite truck I ever owned... and I loved the mirror lights until they blew out in the first month so I replaced them and not even 3 months after the 2nd set blew out . After the 4th time I never replaced it again while owning it . and you mentioned the glove box by the steering wheel . That is where i kept all my valuables and my truck got broken into twice and they never thought to check there . And as far as the blind spots it is big at first but luckily the side mirrors are quite large it makes up for the blind spots when changing lanes. I do side work stuffing big pieces of marble or lumber and chopped wood and also do animal rescue . My FJ took an absolute beating over the years without any damage to the inside and she never failed on me . Anyone considering buying a used FJ cruiser .DO IT!!! I never loved any truck more then that crazy little fun box. And last thing about the design . You either love it or hate it but I loved the look of this truck it definitely grows on you . Especially now a days with all the modern trucks all looking identical . This truck definitely stands out . Best 16years of driving while I owed my fJ ... Great video PS - and I never in my 16yrs owning this truck EVER worried about it breaking down , and toward the end the bottom frame of the truck was going to rust off before the engine died she still ran great for almost 300k miles . Reliability should be 100 out of 100
