I own a 2014 and initially I had issues trying to connect to the bluetooth but its an operators issue to become comfortable with Toyotas bluetooth procedures. Using my phone via bluetooth is extremely convenient as well as having my playlist piped through 11 speakers & a subwoofer with Toyotas stock radio. But you're right the ride is smooth, No road noise unless your off road, no wind noise but you'll hear the engine rev and wind down. The FJ Cruiser is the best daily driver that I've ever had.

" The aerodynamics of a 3-bedroom home " I keep repeating that part of the video because I find it really funny.

I love this car, truly iconic and future collectors item.

I have owned a lot of SUV's. Most of them would get stuck on a golf course, but this is one that is for serious off road action. The car is solid and built to last forever. My only comments is the radio and the nose diving action of the car when you hit the brakes. Nothing that cant be fixed. But overall this is a tank! Nice review James!

I will never buy another car . The fj is king off road and on road. Jeep cant even get close.

Coming from the United States is funny to hear just under 1.8 million bucks. Good Video.

Had an 07 jk 2 door and loved it. Just picked up a 2018 JL Unlimited Sahara. I love this Jeep! Like man-crush love it!

Great video, one of the best informative videos I've seen about the FJC. "The FJ has a drinking problem" and "it needs a 12 step program"; that got me crackin' up.

really good presentation..got the old and the new one 2016 with gps n touch screen on head unit..agreed power, comfort, and sealed you'll just hear the sound of V6 sucking up all that gas in it..aint a family suv, its a toy for big boys..thanks toyota for reviving a true icon..2 thumbs up james great reviewed.

I own one and it's the best. And I have owned a lot of vehicles and some off-road SUV.

This guy is a very good car reviewer, I hope he ca do more with all the new models available in the Philippine market. He is as efficient as the American counter part. With regards to the FJ cruiser, I really like this car I hope Toyota will consider not to cease the production of this iconic car, I love the look and if Toyota can improve some of the features James have mentioned that would be interesting and will encourage more buyers specially the youngsters.

Anyone is considering buying one, take the 6spd No matter what anyone says. I’ve owned both, and the 6spd did about 2 miles better on gas mileage, and I was able to crank it up after my starter failed. The perks that a 6spd gives you makes it a must if you decided to purchase an FJ cruiser. Also, in 10-15 years from now, the next generation of 4x4 people, will want a 6spd gear box. Just my advice

I own one and I love it. There is a love and hate for the FJ Cruiser.

James. If you think this vehicle is bad on fuel economy. You should have been around for the 1970's to 1980's full size Blazers, Broncos and pickup trucks. Best MPG was 11 going down the highway. 6 - 8 off road. These are an economy car compared to them.

Awesome. Good review. Thanks for the video. I like so much fj cruiser

Fj-40 +land cruiser =FJ-cruiser The best off-road vehicle.

A fridge travelling fast out the road" lol I like that

The background sounds and graphics reminds me nostalgic a little bit of the old show of James and old buddies "Auto Extreme" im a big fan of it specially the segment where highly tuned skyline by autoplus and evoution civic sir etc. Does was the days im just dreaming of having one of does cars. Now i did reach my dream.😆 Im driving now a Honda S2000 here in Germany.🔰💪🇯🇵🇩🇪 Keep it up james!

I go off road, particularly in Tanay, with a stock FJ and with those Dunlop AT22's. They are okay. It is not the most amazing tire but they can do their job. Airing them down to about half the recommended tire pressure will give you more confidence in them. I'll be changing to a more aggressive all-terrains once they go bald. For now, these will do.

My 2008 rear wheel drive FJ Cruiser has an aux cord input. I also run off of street tires that look like they`re all spares and it can get the job done well. I love the car, but i do admit, it could do better on gas consumption. I would love for toyota to continue to make these vehicles. Also if anybody knows of any auto shows I could enter my FJ into, please let me know.

IN MY '13 TRAIL TEAM VERSION I WOULD WISH FOR...a small block V8 or a diesel engine ( NOT to belittle the excellent V6 that is OEM), a locking front diffy and a bigger fuel tank.. it is a VERY well made vehicle!

I've always wanted to have this suv but then again it draws me back because of the fuel consumption. But just in case Toyota would fix it up, i'd definitely get one. 🚜

Theres obviously something wrong with the tuning or the shit gas in that country if its drinking that much fuel. Ive got 2 and both use 11to13l per 100kms.

Don't judge a book by its cover. I drive both vehicles as daily drivers and a little bit of off-road as well. They are both capable off-road vehicles. Slight advantage to the FJ with its rear locking diff when you tackle a difficult terrain. However, the Land Cruiser has that twin-turbo diesel which is just amazing going uphill and engine braking downhill. In my opinion, the Land Cruiser is more of an overland vehicle while the FJ is an weekend off-road vehicle. Both will take you places no other ordinary cars can.
