Toyota FJ Cruiser

We originally wanted to buy a Jeep Wrangler JK 4dr Unlimited with the 3.6 Litre Pentastar motor. But, we kept seeing the FJ Cruiser around and thought it looked cool but more expensive than the Jeep. We did some research and found that the Toyota FJ Cruiser has some cool features that makes it arguably better than the Wrangler:

It has a 4.0 Litre VVT engine, dual range gear box, long range fuel tanks, crawl mode, A-trac, diff locks and long travel suspension. Makes it very capable off road. It is also ANCAP 5 star which makes it very safe.

We are really pleased with it and our first 6500km trip from Perth to Broome and back was uneventful. It had around 119,000km on the clock when we bought it at the beginning of December.

This is a 2013 update model and is running on General Grabber AT2 tyres which have been surprisingly good. Quiet on the road and excellent off the road.

We definitely love this car for the sorts of adventures we have.
