Pros: What do you like about 2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser?
Great truck, mechanically sound.
Not too many bells n whistles = less trips to the dealer.
When you slap this truck in 4 X 4, it's like a TANK.
Look is awesome.
Would buy another in a heartbeat but unfortunately will be discontinued. My question to George318 is why buy a big truck if you wanted a smart or a Mercedes you should have bought one ..
Truck floor is so easy to clean, moulded.
Great offroad.
Cons: How would you improve 2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser?
Fuel economy, but new this being a 4 litre V6 would be costly.

2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser Review:
I drove an FJ one time for my aunt and uncle. It felt huge, not what I was expecting. Coming from a small car, it didn't handle well at all and was uncomfortable. I couldn't see out the rear, and I tried using the rear view camera, but it was too small to work effectively. The seat is also too high up for a good view of the road. I expected more power from the vehicle, and although it had a reasonable amount of power, one would expect more from such a large engine.

Pros: What do you like about 2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser?
The LOOK of the vehicle is very unique and interesting.
I like the utility based interior and sound system.
Air bags save lives, as I know from 14 years of rescue service and the FJ has 7 of them.
Reliability and safety are my big demands of a vehicle and the FJ answers.
While in Germany I spotted an offroad dealership that sold only the Toyota FJ. I thought this to be quite interesting.
Cons: How would you improve 2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser?
Improve on the versatility of the roof rack.
Add power seats as an option.
Make the seats a little more comfortable.
