FJ Cruiser Coming Downunder.... March 2011?

[Hilux Max]

Not often....thou I broke my one in my 03 hilux V6 within 15,000km

but that was more driver abuse than anything else I beleive.....

[Monster Rides]

$44990 and only one spec - dual range tranny

Typical of Toyota, if I was around the $40K mark it would be a great option but $45K, come on be realistic Toyota

What's a SR Hilux 4x4 V6 worth?

Coil rear with disc brakes... I think the pricing isn't too bad actually.


Just my 2c.


Cheers

No plans for a diesel motor and a 20kg load limit on the front bumper so no winch or bar option
Sounds like it is aimed more at the Rav4 type buyer

dont belive that load rate Alby, even thou its official Toyota, its only like that to cover their backside becasue of the bullbar chassis issues that have been happening in recent times....same vehicle in US they are mounting front bars with winches without a problem.....its just that Toyota wont warranty it.

If Toyota say 20kg, anything over that will require engineering.

Yeh i have herd about the poor visabiltiy out of the fj. Its more the pricing, i was supprised actualy, compared to the hilux.

I looked at the new FJ today at the Melbourne Caravan and Camping show and I will say I will be sticking with the HILUX . . . . I was not impressed at all my thoughts are they are very over rated. . . and chatting to the salesman was 5 minutes of time I will never get back . . . . . a true wanker . . .

Mackay Qld gets its first FJ on the 27th March

See first hand what this thing is all about

Personally i think its for the Gen Y people , not practical for us tradies or the like, seen a Blue one in Bright Le-Sands about 3 weeks ago, looked ok but definatly not for the majority of us here IMHO

i agree in standard form, however in modded form they look sic, but any modded 4x4 looks awsome modded

[Drew]

hahaha yeh the mrs hates them but i showed her a pic of a black one modded up and she said as long as it looks like that i can have one lol. But that 20kg limit on the front has turned me right off..

Nice review by Explore OZ,

but in all honesty, unless your a weekend picnicker or sub 30 year old looking for a toy, i dont ever see this outselling the lux
