Lol gone through a few on my 07. In my opinion, besides the lower control arm camber bolts seizing to the arms, the windshield is the biggest downfall to the fj

I've had mine since 2006. I've only done oil changes, swapped out the tires 3 times and the spark plugs twice. It has over 190k miles on it - mostly on trails and the thing still looks damn new after a wash. I am now a strong believer in the Toyota quality mantra.

My dad bought an auto 2011 fj cruiser new. One of the last off the boat that wasn’t irradiated from the tsunami that year. My family’s only car for 8 years. Moved across the country 3 times, towing everything we had. Gave it to me as my first car a couple months ago. Incredible machine. 138,000 some miles. It’s been off road a lot, when doing research on a bison heard it got rubbed on by bison, leaving some marks that really tell a story. Been through mountains, plains and everything in between. Still fully stock. No repairs needed. Only damage is some cosmetic from use over the years. I’m gonna keep it in the family forever.

I had a 6speed manual and knew how to launch it right :p I also crossed high waters many times during harvey to rescue friends and family. It can go up to 30 inches not 20. Stock. Went off roading many times too and never failed on me. I miss this truck so much, I will have to turn around and get another one. I got it at 100k miles and lost it at 155k.

I own a 2010 Trails Team Edition that I bought new in 2010. Only has 30,000 miles on it as I use it as a weekend car or to carry stuff. I love it.

It never gives me problems and I am never worried when going off-road. It’s a serious 4x4 that can hold its own. It’s not a Trail Teams (I’d love if it was), but with its options it’s not far off from a Trail Teams. I plan on keeping it for many years to come. Not unhappy at all with it!

LOVE my FJ! had it nearly 10 years and I could get 80% of my money back now if I had taken better care of it lol. Mine gets used for it's intended purpose and it has held up wonderfully. I've put over 150k miles on it trouble free. If you're looking at getting a manual transmission the gas mileage is 18 tops and I get 14 to 16 with aggressive tread. The auto has a higher running gear ratio for higher milage but the 6 speed is more geared for off road.

My 2010 FJ Crusier is plenty roomie in the back seats, and the suicide doors make entry really easy. You just have to be able to use the mirrors as rearward vision is not very good. The V6 engine is smooth and powerful, and we love to travel in it as the ride quality is wonderful. We love our 2010 FJ Crusier. Just buy a large wireless camera and have a big monitor. Costco has a nice big wireless backup camera now for 137 dollars.

I bought my '07 FJ when it first came out. It has 165k miles and counting. Side mirrors visibility are limited, but it can be easily corrected with a mini mirror attached. Not so much with spare tire on the back. Been in 3 accidents all 3 were caused by the other driver. The last accident was a head on collision and still here to tell. Safety for my family is the only reason I'm keeping my FJ until the wheels fall off or Toyota reproduce the them.🙏

Great vehicle I hope they make a 4 doors someday even if a limited Edition! interesting side not a customer I had said Toyota called them out of the blue one day asking lots of questions about what they thought of the vehicle and what could be improved etc. They were under the impression that Toyota maybe considering a new version down the road.

When my car is paid off in a couple years ... I’ll be hunting for one of these! Thanks Scotty!

Best reliable SUV in my opinion, I never owned one but I’ve been in one, feels like a tank and it’s cool how it has 3 windshield wipers. I’m 22 years old and drive a 03 CRV so my insurance is still high. FJ will be my next SUV!!!

i do auto glass for a living and the fj windshield replacement especially the top mounding is a tough job.

I feel like its also good money for an auto glass business, the rake of the windshield is so minor that thing catches rocks like baseball mit. Keep your distance on the highway...

The Weak unibody construction flexes so bad while off-roading, that it cracks the windows. Poorly designed vehicle.

super auto !!! spedzilem z nim 11 lat ,nigdy mi nie zawracolo glowy mechanikiem ,zyczylbym sobie takich samych w koncu mojego zycia !!!

I have a 2013 TT. It was the best auto purchase I've ever made. I live in Salt Lake and it's been a god send in the winters here. It absolutely destroys everything in its path. It sucks on MPG but other than that I love it in every way:)

I owned 2 of those an Auto and a 6 speed Manual Love the car

Great review! Now I really want an FJ Cruiser, even if it isn't practical for a dad with 3 kids and who has barely any time at all to go off-roading.

Read up on Sequoia, GX470, LX470. 3 rows with all having different pros and very little cons.

I have a 2007 and It's currently 2022...I don't baby it. 290k and still going...She's the best vehicle I've ever owned. Completely moded to stage 3

Great vid! I’ve owned my 2008 FJ since 2007 and didn’t know some of that info. Btw..clean out that garage lol

one of the coolest cars ever made, congrats

I have a 2007 blue FJ. Definitely a 10/10 vehicle in my books.

I have had my dreamy eyes on one for a couple of months locally, PREXACTLY for the demonstrated reason when he lifted up his sweet dogs to that functional back area! I can already visualize blankets back there for me AND my senior dog to take a nap after a romp at the off-leash dog park!

Keep them coming Mr. Kilmer. Thank you...

Well this is gonna be interesting good Job on your channel scotty!

These things really are appreciating like an investment! If Scotty hadn’t told me to buy a Honda I would have picked up this thing!

Sucker investment.

It's great to see a fellow SoCal native thoroughly enjoying a vehicle like this. Seems like everyone wants a sleek imported sports car out here but honestly the poorly maintained roads in LA county tear them up and I feel so much more secure and comfortable in a more rugged vehicle.

Absolutely beautiful. Congratulations and best of luck!

I always love these Cruisers. They remind me of a tonka toy, or something Godzilla would snack on.

Good morning Scotty I love your vids

Great......maby buy next

maaannnn.... Toyota always make a good product...simple excellent engineering...i judge a car maker by how many i see on the side of the road and how easy to keep maintenance on the vehicle...

Bought one in August. Love it :)

Great review- thanks

I've always wanted one of those.

2010 Fj Cruiser on 33s, 105k on the odometer so far and I love it. Always gets some compliments

Dumb question, but did you require a lift for the 33s or was the stock height enough clearance?

Thanks for a great description of an awesome car that I wish Toyota will bring back

I have an 08...were still kickin it ol' skool 👩🏾‍🌾

I bought a 2007 FJ and it is still my daily driver. It wears a TRD supercharger with headers and snorkel intake. Rides on Old Man Emu suspension. Runs like a champ tank and I expect it will last longer than me!
