To me it's not even a matter of off-road capability, it's a matter of being honest to the roots of the vehicle...

...I have little respect for Toyota's attempt to capatlize on an icon ...


Well, can't argue too much with that, overall it's not going to be as tough as a real FJ, considering the Iron Pig name the FJ40s have earned.

But, if Brian is right about it being built in japan and sent off to other parts of the world, it might not be bad.

I wonder if toyota had named it Treker (or something else), it would have been received differently around here.

As for all the electronic stuff, did they say it will have it? I'd suspect the abs, hill decent junk can be bypassed just like I did with my rear abs diff. I just disconnected the sensor. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Watch out for the cruiser police, only the fj55 is a "pig".
