slownrusty Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I saw the new FJ yesterday I was behind it in traffic coming home and really liked it....I am not a SUV guy...but really liked the lines and overall size of it...I wonder if it is just the "flavor of the month" and the novelty will wear off but compared to say an H3, it is definitely a great looking vehicle with great presence. Way to go Toyota! I am sure they will sell well. My dad had this: and briefly one of these: so these trucks will always have a special place for me!

Len Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Cool Yasin..alot of history on the Toyota your father had..I liked them too (like a MR2 better, I'm a small car kinda guy)... In a short time the new will wear off and you'll get thousands of them on the road..but from all reports $3 per gallon fuel is not that far away....Don't sell your Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

280Zone Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Being a Toyota truck fan I have seen this one coming for a couple of years. I actually got to se two in person at SEMA. Since I am a bit over average height I wanted to sit in one and got a chance while I was there. I found it to be very comfortable. After they have been out a couple of years it might end up on my shopping list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violacleff Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I actually saw one in my neighborhood 3 weeks ago while I was towing my wrecked car back from the shop. Pretty cool. Looks old school and rugged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 They lost me when they went IFS. Wonder how hard it would be to swap an FJ60 front axle in there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Hate to say it guys, but to me that thing is butt ugly. Priced extremely well, though. I wouldn't mind owning one if it didn't look so bloated and cartoonish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
