fj cruiser manual versus automaticFor a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding. It may not display this or other websites correctly. You should upgrade or use an alternative browser. I currently drive a 95 Tacoma 4cyl 4x4 with 285k miles. I am considering trading her in on an FJ. In reading up on the differences between the manual and the automatic it appears that the manual transmission is geared a bit lower than the auto and in the past (Read 1995) the manual put a lot more power to the ground than the automatic. Is this still the case. I understand the manual is full time 4wd.is that an issue other than slightly lower fuel economy. Can the full time 4wd be upgraded to be able to shift it in and out of 4wd. I am used to having to lock the hubs and manually shift it in and out of 4wd so am a bit concerned about the full time feature and how well it works. I hope to use the truck for light adventure vehicle running around on logging roads, out in the desert but not out rock crawling like I did with the old Rubicon (to expensive to fix what breaks). I understand the automatic does very well out running around but does the manual transmission put more power to the ground or should I look to an automatic and not loo back (the full time 4wd is a concern as I have no knowledge of how it works or how robust it is or how it will drive in slick conditions). What gas mileage should I expect with the manual vs the automatic. Are the factory specs close to correct. Everyone that I have talked to about their FJ have had the automatics so I don't have much knowledge about the manuals. I have just drive manual transmissions all my life. I have been looking for quite awhile but am now trying to make a decision on the manual vs automatic then start looking for the right outfit. Are there any other options that I should be looking at as well (it must have the locking capability to be considered). Thank you Pat From '91 until '07 owned a 4wd manual 5 speed SR-5 v-6.http://www.frimaslovakia.sk/userfiles/file/fanuc-teach-pendant-manual-pdf.xml

Great truck BUT was annoying with in town stop and go, and having to downshift on steep highway grades before it popped out of 5th. Traded in for an auto trans '08 Tacoma Pre Runner, and glad I did. Started looking for an FJC last July, and last week bought an auto '08. Glad I did. Now the only manual I have is my '77 FJ40. Nuff said. Is this still the case?It comes down to personal preference. Though if I knew I was going to be doing a lot of water crossings, I would probably choose the manual just to avoid the ADD system on autos. Are the factory specs close to correct?If gas mileage is important to you, don't modify the truck. The factory skid plate is useless. You are far better off with aftermarket options for those two. To make maximum power it needs premium gas, but The FJC's engine management computer will simply retard the ignition timing if you run regular gas; you will likely suffer a slight degradation in power but otherwise there is no harm in doing so. I own a 2007 FJC with the 6 speed. I also prefer a manual for pure driving enjoyment. That said, I would own an automatic if I lived in an area with stop and go traffic. I live in Interior Alaska, so I can drive from my house to work and downshift one time.I live a rough life. Toyota has been building AWD rigs for quite a long time now with a measure of success (80, 100, and 200 series come to mind). It seems like mileage is rather important to you. I get 16mpg on the highway. If you are looking for mileage and a platform to build on, this may not be the rig for you. I 4 cyl Tacoma or 4Runner will still get around 20mpg built. All said, I love mine and whatever you end up getting, just continue doing research on it. TK You drive around in 4Hi until you need the lower gears or is it 4wd with 4Hi lock and 4Lo. Pardon my ignorance but I have been driving a 1995 Tacoma 4cy for the last 19 years. Manual hubs, standard 5 speed transmission. If I have the Tacoma in 4wd it hops around when turning sharply.http://www.klostercompany.com/userfiles/fanuc-tool-life-management-manual.xml For the automatic if I recall it has 2wd, 4Hi and 4Lo, but it does not have hubs. My current thoughts for a build would be: White Knuckle sliders. Light weight (or factory) skid plates. Front bumper with receiver hitch so I can slide my winch in if needed with stout tow points. Rear bumper with stout tow points. I like pizza cutter tires which tend to limit the height. I don't plan to do much more to it other than drive it. I am sure there will be a few more must do's as I continue to read on this forum. Thank you for the feedback to date. It has helped a lot. Pat A number of rigs find it tough to get 300 miles out of a tank. If you get 16 mpg and the FJ has a 19 gallon tank that's about 300 miles on a tank of gas so 2 - 5 gallon Jerry cans would be recommended. I need to add to the upgrade list above a way to carry two Wedco gas cans externally to the rig. Pat My 07 auto Fj is incredible offroad and super capable. I just remember my daughters 95 Tacoma 4cyl with an automatic was a dog compared to my exact same truck with a manual. Due to gearing the manual had about half again as much poop as hers with the auto. Pat Guess it brings memmories of younger fun days. I had a 5 speed in my 01 taco and wanted that to continue in the fjc. I was pretty aggravated about the fjc only having all wheel drive but after driving it for 60 k miles I've got little bad to say. Don't expect good gas mileage in the fjc I do find myself skipping gears on purpose (going from 2 to 4 then 6, or something like that) in the fjc the ratios seem to be close together and going from 5 to 6 leaves me wishing the 6 th gear would drop rpms alittle more at highway speeds The fjc feels more like a fullsize vehicle to me especially coming from the mini pre 05 taco. This is probably the reason I've kept mine on pavement but I like to keep things in new condition Like another poster said the only option to have 2wd as an option with 6sp is the aftermarket tcase.https://www.ziveknihy.sk/audiokniha/dual-xd6100-manual But without being able to unlock the hubs I wouldn't worry about that as the cvs will still be spinning even if no power to the front diff. A few years back someone was trying to find a way to get manual hubs but I think the cost ran into the same territory as a solid axle. If you do end up test driving one make sure he locker engauages the tcase 4low sensors on toyotas around the fjcs year span have a problem of going bad randomly if not used often. It can be a easy fix but a pain, I was lucky and was able to clean it and use it alittle to get it working. Also make sure your insurance is good at replacing windshields I chipped mine at 200 miles and I was carful no to tailgate. Also check the front fenders for rips.You drive around in 4Hi until you need the lower gearsI hadn't even started on what model year to look for as the manual vs automatic had taken precedence. Is there a model year to avoid or one to look for (or a range to look for). I assume that the FJ's were mostly the same with a few minor changes.I believe he meant FJC's year span, so Toyota 4wd models 2007ish to 2014ish. This should draw some fire! Seriously, If you are serious about buying one, it's time go on some test drives. I think all model years are similar enough that you should shop based on how much you can afford, maintenance records, and options that appeal to you. TK You find the VINs of affected models. Then have the gears changed out or get a different year.The MT has a Clutch Start Cancel switch that is handy if you stall and need to restart on a hill off road. I love my MT but hard off road is all about gears so I've regeared and swapped out the transfer case to give me better gears on the gnarly stuff. On easy and moderate.Both have their fun. Good luck selecting the one that is right for you. I don't plan to trying the Rubicon Trail type stuff but am looking for a truck that is capable so I can get to the Rubicon Trail As has been said several times already it looks like an automatic would be a better choice. If I recall the manual was geared lower than the auto. It is interesting that you needed to gear it down even more. So it sounds as if I should be looking at rigs '08 and newer. Interestingly enough what I found locally are the first year rigs and newer rigs not much in between. Are the Trail Teams rigs just Bilstein shocks, special paint and badging or are there other features that are worth the premium? Pat It sure appears that it has the important bells and whistles. It may or may not have the roof rack. They seem to all have diff lock and A-Trac. One difference I noticed was an electrical outlet for the back and a woofer (must be an upgraded stereo system so us old duffers can hear the phone calls on blue-tooth better ). There are manual and automatic transmissions. A myriad of different wheels (not sure if they all were factory options). Are there any other items I missed. Any mechanical adds or differences other than transmission. Thank you Pat Don't let lack of roof rack stop a potential buy. Mine has no roof rack, but there are 4 plastic covers over where the roof rack mounts would go. Look at '07-'09 models and you'll see two factory rim types - 6 spoke and 5 spoke. '10 up had different styles offered from '07-'09. TRD black rims are popular. Register now By continuing to use this site, you are consenting to our use of cookies.

My husband is going to be the primary driver, so I guess we will go with the manual. He was just trying to figure out if there was any downside to getting the manual other than the gas mileage isn't as good. When he drove an FJ last year, there weren't any manuals available at the lot so he has only driven an automatic FJ. I have a manual and I love to drive it, but the gas is killing me. It is at least 5 mpg less than auto because it is FULL TIME 4x4.How long a clutch will last, without the need to be replaced or otherwise serviced, often depends a lot upon the driver. But for most long-term car use, a clutch will need to be replaced at least once during ownership. With today's labor charges, that can be a fairly expensive item. If the flywheel needs to be resurfaced the cost can skyrocket. I have never driven anything but manual on my cars and trucks. Im driving a 4x4 5spd 4Runner right now. I have test driven an auto FJ and it was nice.I was wondering how you guys liked it so far. How does the clutch feel.Its a pleasure to drive. In any case, I love:blush: my new 2008 six speed manual FJ. It shifts smoothly and the clutch reminds me of a German made sports car clutch.Bought a 4x4 manuel FJ from private seller, was such a steal, I had to have it even though I hadn't driven a stick in about 14 years and barely then.A local dealership, Toyota dealer, has a yellow 6-speed 2007 FJ Cruiser with 90k miles. Apparently someone used it for commuting. The question is, should I? It's a ton of mileage in a short period of time. They tell me they've gone over it with a fine tooth comb, new tires, fluids, and so forth. It's physically clean. Whats the risk in getting something so used up in the prime of its life. Does anyone else have a high mileage FJ? Thanks! You may want to browse through Toyota FJ Cruiser Prices Paid and Buying Experience to get an idea of what others have been paying recently. I'll just note that the original owner was apparently concerned enough about the high miles on a two year old vehicle to trade it in.The manual FJ is full time 4wd. Rear-wheel-drive versions come only with a 5-speed automatic transmission, while 4-wheel-drive versions can be equipped with that automatic or a 6-speed manual gearbox. The FJ's 4.0L V6, the only engine available, makes 260 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque, with the dual independent variable valve timing allowing strong low-rev torque for off-roading exploits. With the automatic transmission there's a separate part-time 4-wheel drive system--allowing better gas mileage when you're commuting or driving on the highway in clear conditions. Both versions include a separate low range for low-speed rock crawling, and manual FJ Cruisers get a locking rear differential, which is optional on automatic FJs. Rear-wheel-drive versions receive a limited-slip rear differential, with the included electronic stability and traction control, to assure the surest footing possible. The FJ Cruiser is a true truck, with tough body-on-frame construction and a boxed steel ladder-braced frame. A 4-link coil-spring rear suspension with solid axle and a double-wishbone front suspension, together 4-wheel disc brakes, hydraulic power rack-and-pinion steering altogether provide maneuverability and relatively responsive handling on the road, combined with some of the strongest off-road ability in a stock SUV. Altogether, the FJ with its standard tires has 9.6 inches of ground clearance plus approach (34 degrees) and departure (31 degrees) angles. Towing capacity is rated up to 4,700 pounds. The FJ Cruiser doesn't completely forgo comfort. With an 8-way-adjustable driver's seat, most will be able to get comfortable in front and have a good view out. In the cargo area there are lots of cargo-net hooks, bag hooks and cargo tie-down points. Standard features on the FJ Cruiser include air conditioning, power windows, locks and mirrors, Bluetooth hands-free connectivity, a rear defogger and a 6-speaker sound system with USB port, iPod interface and Bluetooth streaming audio. The special Trail Teams Edition, available on 4-wheel drive FJs, adds various equipment that is of use to off-roaders, including Bilstein off-road shocks, TRD alloy wheels, a rear differential lock in combination with the A-TRAC traction system, additional skid plates, rock rails, illuminated side-marker lamps, an AC outlet and a backup camera monitor, as well as TRD aluminum doorsill scuff plates and an aluminum shift knob. From the outside, the model is easy to pick out from the crowd, thanks to its new 'Heritage Blue' paint scheme, with black bumpers and blacked-out grille and door handles. Despite each one-off mule costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, the development team was determined to push the capabilities of the prototypes in order to deliver reliable offroad performance in the production model.However, chief production engineer Akio Nishimura had to significantly alter the amenities offered in Chergosky's interior concept to keep the price of the production FJ Cruiser reasonable.Other throwback design cues include a nearly vertical windshield with three windshield wipers for maximum surface area coverage. The FJ's body features rear opening access doors that give a unique look to the SUV.All interior surfaces are covered with washable rubber materials to aid in fast cleanup after heavy outdoor use. The FJ also incorporates oversized controls to aid drivers with gloved hands.The bulges and cracks in the inner fenders were attributed to a Toyota design flaw through certain vehicle identification numbers.The TORSEN unit varies power distribution as needed, based on steering angle and wheel slippage.The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awarded the FJ Cruiser its Top Safety Pick accolade.Sales began on 4 December, replacing the outgoing Hilux Surf and selling alongside the Land Cruiser.This model was released with the body painted in a black diamond pearl color, and with a matching black roof to set itself apart from its standard, white-roofed counterparts. The special edition model included TRD cat-back exhaust system, TRD Bilstein offroad tuned shocks, rock rails, 16-inch alloy gun-metal gray finished TRD wheels with BFGoodrich all-terrain tires, and TRD badges. The TRD Special Edition also included mechanical changes to synchronize the locking differential with the active traction control (resulting in the rear differential no longer overriding the active traction). Early production 2006 FJ Cruisers had an issue that caused the rear differential to override the active traction control, except in the TRD Special Editions.This package was available on FJ Cruisers with the iceberg white monotone exterior color scheme, similar to the 2008 Trail Teams Special Editions, except without the addition of blacked-out trim pieces. Some of the features with this package were the TRD alloy wheels in a silver finish with the BFGoodrich all-terrain tires, as well as TRD logos and graphics on the exterior. Also, the TRD package was only offered on units with two-wheel drive for the 2008 and 2009 model years. Since 2011, Toyota offered the TRD package on the iceberg white FJ Cruisers but opened the package availability to both two- and four-wheel drive models. In 2009, 2,400 units were produced with the TRD package.The number of Trail Teams Special Edition FJ Cruisers produced per year are as follows: 3,200 units for 2008 (as stated above); 1,500 for 2010; 2,500 in 2011; 2,500 in 2012; 2,500 in 2013; and 2,500 in 2014. No Trail Teams models were produced in 2009. However, Toyota released a TRD Package for that model year and it was used on the same Iceberg White painted FJ Cruisers that were used for the 2008 Trail Teams Special Edition, (for more information, see the TRD Special Edition section.)The CRAWL control had been previously used on other 4-wheel drive vehicles from Toyota and Lexus to enhance off-road capabilities. The Trail Teams variants are also the only FJ models to have body trim pieces blacked out from the factory including the mirrors, door handles, bumper caps, etc. Special design details also carry over to the interior such as color matched fabric inserts on the seats for specific years and special Trail Teams badges.The 2014 Trail Teams Ultimate Edition FJ Cruiser comes in a Heritage Blue paint scheme (resembling an original FJ40 Land Cruiser factory paint color), and for the first time features a white grille bezel that again pays tribute to the iconic Land Cruiser FJ40. The remaining vehicle trim remains black, similar to previous versions of the Trail Teams Special Edition. The suspension also raises the vehicle slightly taller than stock as to achieve a leveled stance.For participating Toyota new vehicle dealerships, the FJ Crawler could be special ordered for customers who were looking for a vehicle that is even more rugged and off-road ready than a standard Off-Road Package factory option would provide. The FJ Crawler package included an ARB Front Bull Bar Bumper, an Old Man Emu 3-inch suspension lift to support the added weight of the ARB bumper and to allow for the 17-inch Pro Comp wheels with either 33 or 35-inch off-roading tires. The FJ Crawler was able to be customized in many ways with many optional accessories to achieve the customers satisfaction. For example, the FJ Crawler could be ordered in any factory color for the current model year. There was also the option of adding accessories such as a Warn winch, IFP driving lights which would be mounted to the ARB bumper, a fog light kit for the ARB bumper, and an ARB roof rack for storing gear and other items. Other options included a cat-back exhaust system, a high flow intake, as well as side steps.Also, the FJ-S features all new TRD 17-inch wheels in a Midnight Black finish along with BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain tires. The color Toyota chose for this model is the Quicksand color, but unlike other FJ variants, they kept the white roof as opposed to doing a monochromatic color scheme. The interior of the FJ-S debuted an all-new two-tone leather seating with the FJ-S logos on the seatbacks along with custom floor mats.So whether or not it goes into production in a later year or if it remains a concept car is uncertain. However, new releases from Toyota show that the TRD Bilstein shocks with remote reservoirs and TRD-tuned front spring suspension combination debuted on the FJ-S Cruiser Concept is the same one they used on the Trail Teams Ultimate Edition FJ Cruiser for 2014.Critics appreciated Toyota's drive to bring such an aggressively styled and purpose driven vehicle to market at a time when the company was focused on more conservative designs.Retrieved 9 January 2020.

A very pleasant car buying experience. Thanks Sal As vehicle was sold, the representative offered But did not, and car is still listed on Cargurus and the No good customer service. The owners were extremely friendly and willing to work with me from out of town. They negotiated what I considered a fair price. I was able to due all my research over the internet, then drove 75 miles to drive it and work out the deal. Talking to the owner Tom, I have a better understanding of his experience and knowledge of the industry. The care he and his company put into these cars made for a great buying experience. I'd consider buying from them again in the future. I was willing to increase my offer but I got the Not a real pushy dealership. They deal in high mileage vehicles, over 150,000 miles. I believe it would be difficult to get good value for money spent at this dealership. In short, their sales model does not work for me. I was very happy with my purchase and the sales procedure. First internet “unseen” vehicle purchase.Thank you! I honestly would have bought from them if I hadn't have gotten an insane price on a new Prius prime elsewhere It generated so much excitement during the auto show season that Toyota put it into production and began selling the FJ Cruiser in 2006 as a 2007 model. The FJ Cruiser is styled after the FJ-series Land Cruisers from the 1960s. The FJ Cruiser competes with vehicles such as the Nissan Xterra and the Honda Element. It also sports a white roof and color-keyed interior features. It is the second compact SUV for the auto maker, and is slightly larger than the RAV4. The FJ cruiser is more suitable for off-road than the RAV4. I got out of a newer Infiniti qx30 to a 4 inch lifted fj cruiser with 26 inch all terrain wheels and couldn’t be happier. Such a fun car and even though it’s a 2012 everyone thinks it’s a brand new car.This is a great vehicle on and off the road. Surprisingly comfortable ride for a vehicle like this!The FJ cruiser is no longer being produced so enjoy them while they are still available.

Starting with the 2020 model year, every Toyota hybrid battery warranty is being increased from 8 years or 100,000 miles, to 10 years from date of first use, or 150,000 miles whichever comes first. This enhancement serves as an indication of our confidence in the quality, dependability, and reliability of our products. The HV battery may have longer coverage under emissions warranty.For Toyota hybrid vehicles beginning with model year 2020, the hybrid (HV) battery is covered for 10 years from original date of first use or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. See Owner's Warranty and Maintenance Guide for details. Most have 12-month coverage, and there aren't many, if any, companies that offer a longer guarantee. Car covers are warranted for 12 months from the date of purchase and do not assume any coverage under the Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty. So we thought the TCUV Warranty should be just as thorough. The HV battery may have longer coverage under emissions warranty.
