The FJ isn't my truck. My truck is 72 ford, I'm the second owner. The FJ does day to day plus hauling jet ski, Honda ATV, trailer duty etc. Living in SC, I do everything possible to avoid red clay mud that we call dirt. Gets up into everything, hardens and expands. I don't look to intentionally abuse something that cost 30k. Probably why I still have a 95 Honda 300 and a 72 Ford that crank and run.
That's why I've never really understood the concept of the Raptor, Power Wagon or the FJ's. They're all supposedly built to beat the schit out of but cost a fortune.

Probably headed to West Texas next year, into rough country. Debating on fixing up the 04 F150, or getting something to throw on a trailer & drag behind the 2014. My headache is my serious off-roading starts after 3-400 miles on the interstate, so a crawler, even street-legal, is not a good plan.
I don't really four-wheel but my plan is to tow bar this bitch to camp and use it accordingly for the weekend.

too late, the Honda civic gets a bit better mileage
but don't know if they have the 0% financing available
just gonna have to check comfort, ride and features. geez it takes time to buy a freakin car
only have ever made one car payment and that was on the 02 Gmc with 0% but it was only for 3 years. payments were hefty but I like using other folks money for free
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
I think we will go look at a Corolla tomorrow. I have a 2012, 4 door Tacoma with the long wheelbase, so I could have a 6' bed. She would do a little better with something a little smaller.

I've been thinking about a long bed 4 door so I can fit the kids and quad. Wife has a 2013 Camry hybrid that gets 40 mpg and goes like a raped ape. About $25K.

Fj's and raptors are popular around here but I've never saw one with mud on it. Rubicons with big tires and a winch are all over the roads around southern Wi going from work to home to the gym...
[quote=Dutch]I put 330,000 miles on my Tacoma before my son decided to test the airbags. I bought a little Sonoma that gave up with a bad #6 cylinder at 130,000 miles.
Sample of one, but just try to get me to buy another. Dutch I am with you bought a 79 PU with diesel and four(4) engines and 60some K miles later, I swore never another GM product and to this day I won't even rent one. Cheers NC
don't judge until you have walked a mile in other persons' moccasins' SUM QUOD SUM........HOMINEM TE ESSE MEMENTO

I've had the opportunity to put a bone stock Rubicon through rocks and them [bleep] do exactly what you'd think a jeep with front and rear lockers would do.

No hybrid here. We don't wear sandals and we bath daily.
Not kidding you bud, you might want to drive one. We're not talking Prius or Corolla here.
My wife drives 80 miles a day average, 40 mpg makes a big difference in the gas bill in a month, she got mid 20's with a Mazda that we all hated and broke down alot. We apply gas savings to the payment, so the new car ends up costing about $125 a month more than the old Mazda. They make it attractive, and they're damn good cars.

Yeah, a Raptor would be cool. 12 mpg...not so much They do have a locking rear diff, and special suspension. They actually are very comfortable, and will go to some fairly rough places. But it's still a 12 foot wheelbase and 6000 lbs, and that's not so hot off-road.
I made it here with my '04 F150 4x4, last year. Got back out, too!
I'd actually make someone a decent deal on the red truck.
