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

Love It - 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
By Ben - May 20 - 3:46 amJust got my FJ two weeks ago. Definitely not a vehicle to log a lot of miles on. But man, is this thing cool. I cant count the number of gawkers and strangers coming up asking questions. I take her off roading tomorrow. Im sure it will tear it up.

Could be better - 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
By Bill from Orlando - July 12 - 12:16 pmI bought my FJ because it was different than all the other SUVs out there. First the bad: cant open front & rear door if you are parked too close to another car to get access to rear. When using a fast gas pump, wont handle the volume and keeps shutting off pump, must pump slowly. Front passenger mirror too small and no light. Dumb design to have to take headrests off rear seats to fold them down. Rear "portholes" too small for rear passengers. No console with cover. Premium gas required. Now the good: It attracts attention for unusual design. White roof keeps interior much cooler (I live in Florida). Great sound system. Comfortable front seats. Easy to read and operate controls.

Short comings - 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
By ozzyj - June 12 - 1:07 pmI have a 2007 FJ 4x4 with all the bells-and whistles; although I have had no mechanical difficulties, I have to say that it is not without its problems. Its paint chips if the wind blows, its all over the road with wind over 25 mph, has dangerous blind spots, too wide for most off road situations, weak tie rods, front windows break easily due to shape/angel e, frames on some are weak and buckle, some have weak rear differential, terrible transmission, poorly designed for water usage for a 4x4, (short rods in motor so if you make a mistake in the water you will have to replace the motor), poor gas mileage, engine wines over 40 mph, even with change of tires its squarely on slick surfaces (

Colorado Off Road Experience 10-23-2007 - 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
By Tom Martin Jr. - March 23 - 11:56 amTook my FJ on a heavy 4X4 trip; big game hunting in the Rockies. The FJ was severely scratched due to branches on forest roads. The optional front skid plate has major dents and the factory black painted skid plate just behind it was destroyed. No ordinary 4X4 trip, a foot of sticky black mud covered by 15" of snow. Even those little ATVs were having problems. All other 4X4s had to chain up all fours. My FJ made it through w/optional BFG tire package. It was weird hearing the ATC use the ABS to grab more traction. Had to use the rear locker twice. Clean up not easy as interior/exterior has lots of little spaces to trap mud. Glad I bought it w/ATC,BFGs, and air locker.

6 Months Now - 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
By Tombola - March 20 - 3:03 amIve had the FJ for 6 months now. Its a fun car and looks great. Shortly after we purchased it we had some major snowstorms. This is the best vehicle I have ever driven in the snow, and that covers a lot of vehicles. The FJ is built tough, feels solid, looks great and rides pretty good.

Works as Designed - 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
By Todds FJ - March 8 - 7:10 amI just sold my 2007 FJ. The interior is very well designed. Everything was ergonomically correct and easy to grasp (with the big knobs). As many owners on here, I bought the FJ because it was different. I grew tired of the vehicle after a while. Very basic interior and slightly rough ride. Not the FJs fault. It is not supposed to be a luxury car! In three years of ownership, not one day in the shop. Great build quality. Bad gas mileage...like driving a brick down the road.
