Toyota FJ Cruiser

[xrapidx]

What do you think of it? Seriously considering one to replace my Hilux.

Fugly as hell and I always thought you could not beat a SsangYong in that department.

xrapidx I need your insurance detail, just suffered some retinal damage from that link.

man that FJ is uuuuggglllyy, reminds me of russian military vehicles

 

[Fudzy]

Well at least now you can buy a Toyota that won't be hijacked

R450 000!!!! they must be smoking their socks!!! the interior looks like a NIssan Sani's LOL!

 

[wiinuts]

i dont like the styling but it does look to be a very decent vehicle. if you can live with the look of it then i cant see why you shouldnt get it. i like the size

 

[xrapidx]

I also thought it was fugly... but its grown on me in the past couple of days...

Its either that, another Hilux, or a Fortuner...

I dig the FJ. Maybe the ugly looks will mean good deals on used ones in a year or 2's time?

Thats a cheap Hummer. Looks pretty fugly. maybe if i was a Sandton housewife and I needed lots of space for shopping without having to worry about potholes.

Now we're gonna have to start calling SsanYongs good looking

 

[Rosaudio]

Trying to be like Hummer now?

I don't dislike it, think it's okay. Would like to see one in person though.

in all seriousness, keep the Hilux and add a few accessories to it.

I'm pretty sure it'll out perform and out last the H3

Its designed to look like its predecessor.

Think I must go for a test drive... apparently its quite capable offroad.

When you're there test drive the fortuner. New one available next month, or you can get the current one at about 50k discount (if theres any left).

 

[D3x!]

I actually kinda dig the look of that trail cruiser

 

[hawker]

Why not just get a Hilux?

H3 cost less a few years back and, as we know, was useless. This cost more, but can do a lot more... It is not "a cheap Hummer". I like it.

Yeh... I was thinking of the Fortuner... but I think this might be more offroad capable.

Hilux was my first choice... but feel like something different.

If you're getting something for offroad, the Fortuner really is quite capable. Went with a friend to the Hennopsriver 4x4 trail a couple of weeks ago in his (4x2) Fortuner and he got through obstacles most of the veterans there thought he wouldn't. Now, add in proper 4x4 and low-range and I'm convinced the Fortuner would take anything you throw at it in its stride... Just remember to take off the side-steps before you tackle a trail.
