They are what they are. Mine has been trouble-free since 2007 except for replacement of a front wheel-bearing assy.

Mileage sucks but I can get 21-22 if I drive like Hugh.

Really crappy rear visibility and it is definitely NOT a famiy care. Kinda noisy dpending on the tires and the stock sound system is junk.

FJCruiserforums.com has more info than you'll ever need on 'em.

There was/is an issue with the inner front fenders (inside engine compartment) buckling and rear differentials breaking but both seem to be due to hard off-roading. I haven't had either problem.

I really like mine. Alot. Very, very competent on and off road.
