Toyotas fj that is. By sheer coincidence my vehicle is also an fj cruiser. My dirt bike is the Italian version of husqvarna which just died this last year too. :flag_of_truce:

About 5 years ago I wanted to buy and FJ real bad just for the name.  I actually test drove one and thought it was neat.  However, it was not very practical.  Rear doors don't open unless the fronts are already open, rear windows don't roll down, poor rear visibility, towing capacity only 5000 lbs, crap mileage, and really didn't like the way it drove down the highway (felt like the front end wanted to start shimmying).

I made a much better choice buying a Chevy Avalanche.  4 working windows and doors, 10000 lbs towing capacity, better mileage, and poor rear visibility (can't have it all).  I think this is the last year for the Avalanche too.

If I were going to have a Toyota FJ (and money were no object), it'd probably be one of these:
