how do u feel about the new toyota FJ’s??

im having mixed feelings about them.

~~As for how they perform i think they are awsome with the warn winch, lockers, and skid guard options.

~~I absolutly HATE the white roofs on um… yeah i know what its there for and its still stupid looking

~~the interior is kinda cheap on um compared to a nicer SUV… BUT as a “jeep” type vehicle its perfect

~~If i were to buy one it’d be based on its off road capabilities, BUT id wouldnt want to take my brand new 30 grand after the options truck up to the axles with mud, kicking rocks all over it, and getting branches along the side scratching my new paint.

i personaly couldnt see myself buying one as a NICE dd just because the only thing about them that really impresses me is what i wouldnt want to take it thru… untill they are a few years older and cheaper!

Till then im stickin with the good old JEEP

what do you think…

I hated them at first but they grew on me…but for the $ I wouldnt pick up a new one…maybe a few years they will be like Azteks and be on the silly cheap

I know a guy with a silver one that he has listed for sale right now.

Comparing it to an AZTEC may not be fair, Toyota has uber off-road soul.

Im not comparing the FJ to the Aztek quality wise or value wise. The point I was making is that since it is far far from a mainstream look, when alot of them are coming off their first lease they may see a dip in price because the styling is not everyones fancy.

They make a TRD Edition… its a V6 and it comes in all black (no white roof)… Im not a big fan of the suicide 3rd and fourth door. The interior is pretty plain…I dont think you can even get leather or navigation. For 32K you could prob get something better.

I saw the black special edition today, was very sharp.

21k for base model… but for anything worth your time, it is a 30k truck… not worth it IMO

FJ’s are great trucks

one major problem they have with them is the windshield, hey crack VERY easy, you will need glass coverage on them at all times

but other than that, bad blindspots, interior is kinda plain…but i’d rock one 🙂
