    The moral of the story is Toyota , like most manufacturers maximum towing e.g. 2500 kg, is a bullshit marketing ploy !, if its claimed max is 3.5T, wind it back to 3.00T, if it's 3.0T, wind it back to 2.5T etc etc etc, same on down the line, then you will have some margin for error, and how easy is it to overload vehicles!, how many people do it on a day to day basis, either because they didn't think, didn't know or didn't care!.

    Owned my FJ for 5+ years now, agree completely with your review the FJ is amazing and has never had an issue , whilst it is a little thirsty servicing has been a lot cheaper than the diesel Prado I used to own. Can’t imagine ever selling, mine is fairly heavily modified however the best cheap mod is a throttle controller, it just makes the engine even more responsive.😊

    Hey mate cheers for the info. Does this unit have the same battery size as the delta 2 new version? Would you still recommend for a weekend camping trip running a fridge and few small accessories? Cheers

    I just think you don't like Ranger and is a Toyota person because 80% of what you saying is not true

    Anyone thinking of buying an FJ and you have the funds?? In Ron Barrassi's words... "Don't think, DO!" One doesn't know the feeling of driving an FJ until you experience it for yourself. Yeah, it has its quirks but that's what an FJ is all about, a different perspective on the road, I cannot imagine the thrill of taking it off road, I can only dream (for now) it seriously oozes an 'this is awesome' feeling, it's just such a pleasure to drive. On another topic agreed, I don't know why the modern 4WDriver community thinks you have to have a diesel to be part of the 'in' crowd and follow the herd. Petrol engines (particularly JAP engineered and manufactured) have a clear advantage over most diesels. It's LESS complicated in terms of what's under the hood. EG electronics / cooling / emissions systems for things to go wrong. NOT something you'd want when touring or off the grid. I personally would be more confident of THIS landcruiser driving me home than ANY other and that's including a 200 series or newer just dropped Prado for that matter. Excited to see IF an 2025 FJ model drops as expected, I just hope they stick to the 'keep it simple stupid' design and engineering. Perhaps with some minor mod cons in exterior LED lighting front head / rear tail lights, with some tweaks to the interior in infotainment, but leave it at that. Keep a robust dials and switches rustic approach to keep true to the FJ roots. Hit the nail on the head with all you've said Mark, I'll be waiting with great anticipation of things to come with further FJ content, no doubt more views to follow from around the country and the world. Love it mate!

    great work and the bull bars do affect the cars safety rating and systems and bhp did a extensive research in to this and have now removed them from the majority of there fleet and reasurch shows bulbar are responsible for driver injuries with certain collisions

      Absolutely. If you don’t need them for going bush or driving when wildlife are around, best to leave them off

    Ounce you,ve own one you will probably never sell it,its a great vehicle well made not that bad on fuel consumption as people make out, it is a 4.0 Lt witch has a heap of power for its size. Inside it is 50mm wider than the new gen ford ranger from side window to window.off road its probably the best 4x4 Toyota has ever built with value for money, it comes with so many features that are standard, unless you have been in one you or owned one , you just wouldn't know how good and capable they are .

    Mitsubishi Pajero Sport GLX. Kerb Weight 2080 GVM 2775 Payload 695 GCM 5565 Tow 3100 / GCM - GVM = 2790 / payload - MAX towball weight = 385. Fairly competent but again the biggest disparity is between the max tow capacity and the GCM - GVM.

    The major problem here is education. People think that because Toyota says the vehichle can tow 3.5T that it can tow 3.5T. In reality this vehicle is much better suited to tow 2 - 2.5T. Unfortunately everyone wants these mini-homes on wheels.
