Thread: 2011-2014 FJ Cruiser.

Looked at one once as part of a repair job on it - kind of struck me as a "Crusier in name only". Not sure if that's really a fair assessment as the overall package is lighter than the usual cruiser, but it did seem a lot more lightly built than I would have expected for something wearing the landcruiser badge. The petrol engine thing didn't really excite me, also I'm more requiring a ute configuration with the heavy tow capacity which the FJ doesn't have.

The impression I got was it was aimed at those that don't need the internal capacity of the full chassis cruisers, but then I don't know why you would look at one of those over a Prado as you get the option of diesel engines in the Prado's. At 12 to 14L/100Km of petrol consumption on average, diesel is more attractive.

I think these are a niche 4wd, if you love them you'll defend them to the end of the earth otherwise you'll ho hum off to the next 'un.

I'm sure someone who has a lot more time (and love) for the vehicle will be along shortly haha.
