Thanks for all the replies. I know that buying used is a crapshoot. However, these days you can do a little checkup on an individual vehicle and determine if it has been wrecked or how many owners its had. FWIW.
I LOVE the looks of the FJ but having looked at it, while it seems to have a rather spacious passenger area, the cargo area behind the seat leaves something to be desired. I need a place to haul dog, trash, pine straw bales, maybe a deer carcass, etc. without having to lay down the back seats. I've also slept in the back of my Explorer occasionally, comfortably I might add.
I think a lot of SUV's have been "neutered". Seems the 4 Runner is still a "real" SUV.
Thanks again for all who took time to reply.
