Ever wish you bought an FJ?

I love my Taco, but for some reason today i wish i had gotten the FJ. Hopefully it's just a passing phase.

When my wife and I test drove it it seemed like a really fun truck. I didn't like the visibility, and it seemed like we might get sick of the style after a couple years.

But now I'm thinking they look sweet!

Maybe bought an FJ and a Taco, but not only the FJ. Too small

I think fjs are kinda lame. those big ol' tail lights that stick out in the back that beg to be broken. not to mention the visabililty is so bad. not a big fan personally. i have seen a few done up very nicely though. just not for me.

The FJ sucks! Why did you buy a truck? sell it and buy the FJ. The Tacoma is the only toyota I would ever buy. There are many better options for car's and suv's.

^yikes.

I like the new FJ. If I could have one, I would. But, 2 kids says I can't.

Lots of parts available to build one, built in Japan, no carpet, a-trac.

I bought a another Taco because I've had one for 10 years and love it. I go on climbing trips with lots of gear and my dog, and often need to sleep in the bed under the canopy. Honestly the main reason I didn't do the FJ was because it didn't look comfortable to sleep in.

But I still think the FJ is cool so chill the f-out.

Thats my own rant. What do you mean chill out I only used one exclamation point. You asked me if I wish I bought an FJ, I said no and explained why, and no the fj probably wouldnt be a comfy sleep

2 kids here too.

your jeep is way better suited to your needs I would think. I just hate the idea of destroying expensive stuff in the woods ive driven them a few times and I dont think they ride good, There not comfortable, the blind spots sucks for............driving on the road, and the looks oh the looks
