This Year's Model Updates:

An old nameplate makes a comeback. The 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser is a new SUV that takes the philosophy of Toyota's old compact but tough off-roader and adapts it to meet the demands of the 21st-century consumer.

Pros:
  • Superior off-road ability, comfortable and supportive front seats, retro styling that captures the spirit of the original.
Cons:
  • Limited visibility fore and aft, rear-seat entry hindered in spite of reverse-opening doors.

  • Natural road test in P.R. - 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser

    In Puerto Rico actually this is one of the best vehicles on the road. The floods and the roads here are a test for any vehicle in the market.

  • Engineering marvel disguised as a Tonka - 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
    By -

    Im a serious desert rat, living in Moab, Utah. I have dogs and I practically live out of my Cruiser. Im out every day in the backcountry. Of course the Cruiser was made for exactly this kind of life. Its OK living the urban lifestyle, but its totally underutilized. If youre only going to use it for city-type commuting, you wont like the mileage or lack of visibility (although not bad, really). Be sure to use premium gas, it really does bring the numbers up to where theyre tolerable, worth the extra cost. This vehicle is truly an engineering marvel - Toyotas thought of everything. Im a 56 year old woman and I love it!

  • This Soccer Mom loves her FJ! - 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser

    I got my FJ in July of 2006 and I love it as much today as the day I brought it home from the dealership! Its very comfortable to drive and the kids have more than enough room in the backseat. I love the vinyl floors - sticky messes clean up in a flash! Theres a lot of room in the back so we can easily haul all of our camping gear. The flat doors make it easy to squeeze into/out of tight parking spaces.

  • Love my FJ!! - 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
    By -

    I absolutely love driving this thing!! Bought my tonka truck in april and have been driving the wheels off of it. FJ currently has 12000 miles on it. They have been the best miles Ive ever driven. I actually enjoy driving for almost 2 hours a day on a daily basis. Have taken it on the beach - didnt even have to air down the tires. Have taken it in the mud - it cleans up so easily with the rubberized interior. I LOVE it. On the highway it handles so smoothly for its size. The 6 speed is a blast to drive in the mud.

  • Quality, capability, value and FUN! - 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
    By -

    The FJ is a fantastic vehicle and a pleasure to drive. Very, very solid on and off the road. Handling on all road surfaces is predictiable and consistent. Although I have high expectations for Toyota quality (this is our third Yota) I have been extremely impressed. The FJ is manufactured in Japan and the interior/exterior quality is first class. We wanted a new FJ since seeing a pre- production version at a car show. We purchased a fully loaded 4X4 in October.

  • Fun Fun Fun - 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser

    Great vehicle. Would buy it all over again. A few things you should know before you buy this vehicle. Getting in the vehicle is tight on the knees for the diver, but once you are in there is plenty of room. No locking gas cap. Many of these vehicles lean to the left, supposedly because to many heavy items are on the left side of the vehicle. Thin paint, expect a lot of touching up painting. Of course there is the visibility problem when changing lanes or backing up. I just installed a spot mirror on my right side mirror and its 90% better. I also purchased a backup camera for the vehicle. I don’t think I really needed to but I thought it would be fun to use!

  • awesome car, not so awesome fuel economy - 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
    By -

    This is a great car, I really like the aux. Input, and the sound system in general, the bass makes my mirrors shake! (I do have the sub-woofer) I love the interior and exterior design, it is classic and unique, also the manual transmission is smooth and fun. Overall, this is a very good car, it is reliable ( I have yet to have any problems after owning it for about 2 years) and fun to drive. I really hate the gas mileage though. I have a rocket box on mine, and I generally get 12-15 miles per gallon in the city, and 19 on the highway. It is absolutely awful to have to fill the tank every 3 days.

  • Killer looks, performance and reliabilty - 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
    By -

    Performance: *10* Im not a rock crawling, mudding, 4x4 expert, but Im not new to this type of vehicle. Being an owner of both GX 470 and LX 470, I can honestly tell you that this new 4.0 v6 is a beast STOCK! Passing in the highway is a breeze. COMFORT-*8* while my FJ doesnt ride like my Lexus(s), it still rides and drives better than most SUVs that Ive test driven. FUEL ECONOMY*8*- I get 19 mpg average, not bad for a 239HP - 278 pf of torque V6!! FUN to drive? Darn right it is **10**. On or off-road my FJ handles it with ease. Top it off with Toyotas legendary reliability. What more could I ask for?

  • Great on and off road - 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
    By -

    This car is stunning and a head turner. But has the goods to back up the bold looks with an ample engine, towing ability and drive train to go anywhere you so desire. Also there is plenty after market goodies to customize and make it the way you want it to look

  • Best Yet - 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
    By -

    Lives up to Toyota reputation for being rugged, well built, attention to detailed craftsmenship. Reminds me of the legendary Land Cruiser from the 70s, only updated. Everything comes together, Styling, comfort, rugged, price. This is my 5th Toyota vehicle, I understand this truck was aimed at a younger buyer, Im 64 and trust me Ive bonded to my new truck. Nothing on the market to compare with it as far as im concerned.
