  • the engine on the 2007-present Toyota FJ Cruiser

    Engine

    4.0 L 1GR-FE V6

  • And its HIDEOUS

    

  • @paulaelli To each his own...

  • Did anyone else notice that 4WD is not standard, thats called an overgrown CAR, What a joke. if i want a car, ill buy a car.

  • We're loving our Titanium FJ!

  • KBB has enough money to buy or lease cars but not enough to make a HD video...

  • I like the Jeep's smaller size because it's better for maneuvering in tight places, but... get the FJ if you want reliability. That's just the way it is.

  • hey cool down all..every brand have its own design..just see it..

  • I'm embarrassed for Toyota if this is the replacement for the original Land Crusier. This is not an off road vehicle:

    You cant hose it out after a big day..

    I dosnt have live axles, just road going independant suspension..

    It has only short tight spring travel..

    You cant have muddy river water lapping at your ankles while crossing streams..

    Have I missed the point? Its a soccer mums car! I'll just have to wait for the tough robust truck that will replace origal Land Crusier

  • @browndogrider1962

    Well compared to other modern day offerings its much, much better for a larger sized off roader...But..Nothing will ever beat the FJ80.

  • @browndogrider1962 do you know what your talking about.

  • @browndogrider1962 just rip the doors off, still a sick rig

  • My jeep wrangler is way..... better

  • I reckon the telletubbies would be keen on one. Plastic jap shit.

  • I love cars with touches of whimsey.

  • give me a jeep over this thing any day!

  • I like the look of the back of the car.

    The front.. ehh.. not so much

  • I wish they made it a teeny bit smaller and ditched the rear two doors.

  • jeep cherokee is better than toyota fj cruiser simply for one reason and it is because jeep has 4 doors ordinary but this has ugly bad doors 2 or whatever

  • Beautifull motor, power, and dash but crap interior, looks big but my dog would hardly fit in the back seat. Great car for who hasnt got a big family

  • FJ: Fuck Jeep

  • @ktmlover90 No.... Fucking Japanese

  • @flatblackstrat RIGHT -- cause japanese cars like Honda, Toyota, Acura are junk right...  idiot.

  • @guins99 Yeah because you know so much about them because you live in their most dominant market like I do?..... Idiot.... Or as we like to say in 関西 (Kansai) アホ (Aho). Keep living in your bubble, because last time I checked the Japanese car companies aren't doing so great in both sales and reviews. Not to mention the super high yen and low dollar breaking their wallets.

  • @flatblackstrat moron -- if I cared enough i would pull together some quick evidence regarding toyota / Honda sales / resale value etc and post it here -- but seriously you arent worth the time. And seriously what the hell was the "keep living in your bubble comment" LOL what a goof you are... you dont even know me. F off...

  • @ktmlover90 that might be the best thing I've read on youtube. can't wait to make fun of my jeep friends with that

  • You know you're in trouble reviewing an offroader when you have to talk about the subwoofer switch on the dash board...

  • the 2007-present Toyota FJ Cruiser is assembled in

    Hamura, Tokyo, Japan

    Guangzhou, China

    Santa Rosa, Laguna, Philippines

  • uhh they are called suicide doors

  • fugly as hell

  • Not an inch near the Hummer. this is ugly.

  • saw my first FJ today in Belgium...it's a pretty rare car overhere..i must say , i was blown away by it's design..i really loved it!

    Wondering what toyota it was i ended up here...

    I don't understand why Ttoyota doesn't bring it over to europe..this would be a big succes overhere!

  • in your face! LOL

  • @TheBloodRedemption gotta have diesel in far north queensland australia very few service stations once you get past cairns

  • wow that thing is ugly

  • Give it a few more years and you'll see this thing all over Africa, their already selling in Australia. Once Toyota gets smart and throws a diesel in it, nothing will be able to touch it. And everyone knows that Toyota is 4x4 king of the world, where Jeep is just big in the US, not to mention its such a cliche 4x4 that is driven by everyone.

  • Rear seats face forward?! Blasphemy!

  • Great site with tons of FJ Cruiser accessories!!

    astore.amazon.com/fjcruiser-20

  • @TypeDoubleR dont be to be immodest but it won car of the the year 6 years running. So yeah its not a piece of shit.

  • Why didnt they name this Toyota joke.

  • I only see Mexicans driving this peice of shit.

  • @ormand3000: lol!

  • This is a love it or hate it truck. If you are not open minded, play everything safe and rather boring, you will hate this. If you are fun, unique, like adventure and a fun cool person..FJ is for you. Doesn't make this truck bad. If you want boring, just buy a Mini-van and call it day!

  • Put this up against my '91 Wrangler and I will rape this thing on the trails all day long.

  • @thunderingherd21 And you will get raped on every other aspect imaginable

  • Hey kbb can we have an Xterra review?

  • All in All put someone in an Fj thats knows how to drive it and put it against anything else and you will see just how bad ass these trucks are...I have a 5 inch lift on mine and its montain goat from hell..

  • It looks like a large RC car

  • i will stick with my 1995 toyota land cruiser thanks

  • I just cant get over how fugly these things are....

  • NO DESIEL??? That's just ridiculous! These cars wont do close to 100,000km without problems.

  • @Nytowl7 Mate, I know how you feel? Toyota just released these here in Australia, and what I think is that Toyota were stupid NOT to release a DIESEL model of these. Heck it's built on the PRADO chassis, so why can't they drop the 1KD-FTV motor in it, just like the diesel Prado?

    Apparently a 1KD-FTV conversion can be done on these things. Google "Dieseltoyz" and see what I mean, pity it's a US website.

  • @wocko1 That's exellect news that the motor is made to suit. I'm just stunned because I was under the impression that it would be released here in Australia with an optional diesel model. Thanks for that information though mate ;-)

  • ha ha ha all the "extra cost options" are standard on the australian version. We even get a full tv screen radio! We ordered ours yesterday.. but have to wait 5 months to have it delivered here to australia.. worth the wait tho..

  • @Robertjcksn40 haha will agree to disagree there used to be a girl who went to highschool with me, she had a one that her "DADDY" bought for her and painted it pink.... and i have never driven one but i imagine they don't handle all that well:)

  • Looks like a Hummer. That's a bad thing. I'll stick to to the ol' Hilux

  • Woww I Did Not Even Know You Could Even Get 3 Windscreen Wipers I Guess

    This FJ Cruiser Has More Than U Could Ask For. and I Bet is Same For Price

    A Rugged Car at a Rugged Price (^_~)

  • who the fuck designed it it looks like shit

    BUILT FORD TOUGH

  • @SLSfan25 so you literally went through youtube looking for this video just to say you dont like the looks...

  • @rtfk101 no dip shit i was looking at a toyota supra and tats how i got dumass

  • @SLSfan25 stop commenting, no one needs to read your opinions

  • @SLSfan25 if you just go by looks then your an idiot. I've seen the FJ cruiser beat the jeep in off roading several times, even fords. This thing is mostly made to go off roading, if you knew the slightest thing about cars or trucks then you wouldn't really judge on which is better because they all have their flaws.

  • Looks great but petrol is shit house

  • wranglers were great and novel...until everybody and their mothers got one.  now they're just kinda bleh.

  • I absolutely LOVE my FJ and wouldn't trade it for anything!! It's such a tank of a truck and it's never left me stranded. Toyota for life!

  • when i get my beast, am gonna have it lifted at least 7 inches, with 35 inch tires, harder plastic in the interior, rear view camera, and MUCH MUCH more.....

  • Toyota are bullshit

    they just steal ideas that thing looks like a hummer h3

    the original land cruiser you can see that they just took the design off of a jeep

    i don't care what they say about it toyota are bullshit

    hummer h1 is the most bad ass off road car ever made

    this tj cruiser is a dummer

  • @UnIuckyChucky I KNOW RIGHT TOYOTAS R GAY!

  • that thing is a piece of shit !

    looks like shit, poor visibility, and shit house fuel economy !

  • I love my FJ 4x4, you have never let me down baby. Love it so much I named it.

  • Why the fuck do they make these things in just 2 wheel drive??? Who the hell is going to buy one?

  • @banjorogers dumbass they dont! they come in 4*4 to!!

  • does it rly have 32'" tyres?!!!!!!

  • my mate just bought it.... i like it better than the jeep, and hummer by far, but i still will take my GTI any day.

  • @Holmes1MN ooooo no way jeep is way better man.

  • @johng321ify i owned jeeps for twelve years, then i bought an FJ Cruiser...i've never loved a truck so much. i'll never own a Jeep again. they're great trucks, but the Cruiser's greater.

  • @nikkormac u have to be retarded jeeps are better, Fj crusiers have poor visibility and dont have a good turning rate. And there not as well on offroad i have seen and compared with a jeep. Plus jeeps are cheaper.

  • @Holmes1MN You mean better than an H2 or H3 :). You cant get better than an H1.....if you have the money to insure it, gas it, maintain, and register it that is lol.

  • @Holmes1MN GTI ?? what the fuck is that? another piece of shit made by VW?? HAHAHAHA

  • @Holmes1MN which GTI? theres like a million of em.

  • hey they filmed this by silverado canyon

  • lol hummer wannabe ugly as hell but cheap

  • Will it go to 300,000 miles though is my top concern

  • @honchoryanc I think it will.  Really.

  • @honchoryanc oh yes, it will, it will go 300,000 miles without stopping

  • @honchoryanc YES! its a toyota my 4runner has almost 200,000miles!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @honchoryanc it will

    you can never break these engines check fj 40 its still running

  • @2010Azadi but they are completly different nowadays. more stuff to break

  • J aime les voitures qui resemble a Hummer

  • Oh I guess its Funny!

  • Notice they compared the FJ off road capabilities to the Nissan and not the Wrangler. Also, not an FJ hater - they always get my attention on the road and I look forward to seeing what Toyota does with it in coming years. OlllllllO Jeep.

  • I've had a Jeep and now own an FJ. Loved how the wrangler turned and I could take the top off anytime I wanted but the FJ just makes more sense for the everyday person. It's quiet on the road but still gets the job done offroad. I'll pick the FJ everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.

  • i love how they take the jeep out in a trail for car and driver...and they take the FJ into a gravel parking lot...lol reason im in a jeep

  • I like this truck it falls under the its so ugly its cute category

  • Fj seems like a nice suv that is great off road, but i rather have a competitior(xterra, wrangler unlimited) because the Fj is just so ugly!

  • no, thank you

  • Love my Yaris; hate this ugly gas-guzzling monstrosity

  • @decibel333 fuck you pussy ... suvs rule !!!

  • hummers and jeeps would eat this thing alive off-road.

  • @Rsimon859

    the H1 would, but this thing will walk all over an H2. and this will do just as good as a 4 door rubicon

  • @drummerblade The H2 is a Tahoe essentially, which are known to be beasts off road. and the H3 is the same, if not better than the wrangler rubicon. Though, the 2-door rubicon is slightly better because its a box and we all know boxes go over things much easier than rectangles.

  • @Rsimon859 lol hummer fail

    jeeps hmm maybe i know about that i live in tijuana and we like to go to the desert and shit ive seen hummer get ownd by toyotas

  • @luis61961944

    Yeah that happens when you put a heavy car in sand. Was it an H2 or H3? I won't defend either one of them but an H1 Hummer will go a lot of places even FJ's and Rovers won't if given a skilled driver.

  • @CorvetteRacingFan agree it was a h2

    the h1 is a piece of art i love it but its really dificult to get one

  • @RovingLandRover naw man. as much as i like the versatility of the defender, this job was certainly best suited for a wrangler. we BARELY made it out there in our jeeps. i was suprised that the FJ even made it back that far. the trail (at places) couldnt have been more than 5 or 6 feet wide before going over the edge. it was pretty hairy. im not saying the defender couldnt get back there, im saying that getting the rig turned around would have been a REAL bitch. ill post a video for ya.

  • I miss my 98 4runner sooo much. I totalled it mothers day 2010. I now had a 03 highlander.

  • FJ's have their place, but Yesterday we recovered an FJ Cruiser that went over a cliff 60 ft. down into a riverbed. it would have been impossible to do without our Jeeps. the width of the trail plus the weight and location of the lost rig would have made it damn near impossible to do the job with any other vehicle. long live Jeep. (1993 YJ wrangler, 4" lift, 33" mud terrain tires, stock 4.0L motor, Warn M8274-50 winch.)

  • i own one...best stock offroader!!! i pummel through mud! and on normal drives i turn heads on the regular! no problem with visability...my voodoo blue fj pulls mad women

    @hollisterjunkie9 the fj kills any jeep in offroading...i go every jeep and crush them when im still stock

    lol @ kid below me

  • Japan kills as many whales as it can harpoon - against all international agreements (and sensibilities). This is the country that slaughtered savagely millions in world war too and had the same freakish disection plan with living humans as Hitler did. If you buy a Japanese vehicle, you then KNOW you are a traitor and a dumb pussy - who NOT to have on a team.

  • this comment will randomly get thumbs ups

  • Wonder what would do better off road, this or a jeep? :0

  • in my opinion, you cant beat toyota

  • I'll take a Tonka truck over any of these

  • looks really functional.

  • My mom is going to give me hers and i wanted to know what was that in the back of the car on the inside. Was that asubwofer?

  • @xXCheech24Xx Yes, I drive my father's and that's a subwoofer.

  • it isn't very popular here but i really like it!

  • my mom has a 2006 jeep rubicon, and my stepmom has a 2007 FJ. I will say that the FJ is more stylish, and definately more modern than the jeep is. I dislike the amount of plastic within the interior of the FJ, too much injection molding.

    I am not sure of the offroad capabilities for the FJ, but the jeep has never gotten stuck. Id say that the comparison is a toss up that comes down to personal preference

  • Tonka! Tonka!

  • I want one !

  • Ugly as hell!

  • i love this car

  • i liked hummer

    i was gonna buy one by the end of this year but then GM fuckin shut it down

    just sell HUMMER anyone at least it will be offered again but nooooo....

  • @seauryakumar

    I known man. What's wrong with offering it? If someone wants it, then can at least get it. Geez!

  • @JeremyFuhenstasser Im not against it or any other offroader but Hummer was the best for me and I'm pissed they defunct the fucking brand...

  • @puroresu69 u can put regular in if want, are u at sea level?

  • i got the fj for my 16 bday!

  • @willjones55 Lucky S.O.B.!!! :/

  • @willjones55 fail

  • no where near as good as the original and cant hang with the jeep

  • This is a very nice car. Kind of like a smaller Hummer. And it's not that expensive. I want one.

    Though I wished they would make the backseat doors easier to open and bigger . Cause..uh..Americans are a bit chunky...

  • this is the only toyota i like

  • @puroresu69 I usually get about 140ish miles on a quarter tank; with 87 octane, I saw a little more than 126. It still ran great and there weren't any noticable performance issues.

  • Good vehicle, but the gas is an expense.

    It only takes the top grade.

    I do recommend the FJ.

    George Vreeland Hill

  • @puroresu69 i think it can take regular, both the tacoma and FJ have the same 1GR-FE Engine.

    i have a 2008 V6 Tacoma and it runs just fine on regular

  • Cool. It's like a jeep that won't lose it's value on a daily basis!

  • @chums2007 lmao or like a typical chrysler i.e. my dodge ram have it's oil pan rot out in five years.

  • looks nice but ill stick with my land cruiser

    maybe make it full for door and throw a bit v8

    in it then we talk

  • hey my dad has one it is a four door the two back doors are suicide and the v6 definitely has balls

  • toyota knew they had a deadly problem, but they avoided recalls to save money, inner office doccuments have proven it, now toyota says they are sorry, truth is they are sorry, sorry they got caught, they have lost a customer for life.

  • looks nice but ill stick with a Jeep.

  • This happens every time and it's quite annoying...

    I'll be attending to my FJ, drying it off or whatever, when some cheap ass fast car sees my FJ and speeds away. I guess their INTIMIDATED? Gee, I'm sorry if your cars best feature is speed alone :P

  • Toyota just try to built a jeep but it's not a sucess

    Fake

    Jeep

  • I like how this car has 3 windsheild wipers. I 'm just going to wait for the accelorators to get replaced.

  • Cool looking car =) i love toyota and lexus. I'm going to buy one once i get my lisence. I hope the gas pedals are fixed and selling again

  • i like this car. the look makes me think australia right off the bat for some reason. watch my videos!

  • i like the fact that this truck is available with manual transmission

  • Comment removed

  • @animetodamaximum Jeeps fall apart. PERIOD.

  • Comment removed

  • The you obviously never paid attention. But the toyota hasn't been the only manufacturer to screw up. Remember the 1998 A-Class, that rolled over at 30mph and killed 50+ people. GM had the steering rack problems that killed another 50+ people and then there was Ford with the axles that broke off and killed I don't know how many.

  • fj what foofoo crap. Jeep the real American sports car. OIIIIIIIO : ) Get a good buzzz go off roadin.

  • Since toyotas gas pedal suck this should be their new slogan-

    Toyota: Moving Foward, even if you don't want to

  • oh hello 76ers. Did i mention they suck. they never make it into the finals. Your mom's new slogan : Moving up and down, even though no one wants her to. lol. Peace

  • I don't like most of Toyota's vehicles, but I do like this one

  • get this if u want to go offroad and thats affordable, get the land cruiser if u want to go offroad and want the luxury

  • Whats better for off road the fj cruiser or wrangler?

  • ...and you can tell an idiot because they use phrases like "suck dick", "bullshit""shitty car company" (as if any car manufacturer has had zero recalls). Simple name calling by small minded dolts. LOL, he will probably call me a "fag" now because I used a word he couldn't recognize. LOL, an btw, love my new FJ!

  • @etwilli2 Well said.

  • @etwilli2

    How do you like it so far? I happen to think Toyota's small cars suck. Just too much cost cutting lately. The Tacoma and FJ seem to be pretty damn sweet though if you can get past the crappy fuel economy. I imagine you are having a lot of fun off road with that thing.

  • @etwilli2 i like the older one easier to repair but still its a mad vehicle

  • @Hunter3021990 Yea, older ones are cooler all the way aroun, but in a lot of wys, I like this one (more modern) a lil more...

  • @etwilli2 Fag!

  • @joesingle I'm pretty sure this was supposed to be funny........

  • @etwilli2 Cool comment! Who cares about them..? They won't get a car like that in their entire life!Nor a girl:)) Maybe that is the reason for their bad language .Anyway, everybody should respect the right to an opinion

  • 76ersbbball, Christ man, keep talkin' ..... you show how much of an idiot you are tht way!

  • toyotas suck just face it. they make no nice cars

  • @76ersbbball obviously you haven't been down south and the other side of the world dicko

  • @etwilli2 Idiot!

  • Well hooray for Australian Design Rules... Toyota not recalling any in Australia :D

  • As being born & raised in the Detroit area I have to give respect for Ford for not taking any government money even though I will never buy another Ranger ever again unless it had a manuel trans. As for the Ford GT, if
