I didn't need to sell it, loved the truck, and it was in great shape. I bought it new in OCT 2009. I figured that after ten years, it would probably start dropping in value more quickly. Since I keep my trucks a long time, it was time for something new. I liked the FJ's quirkiness - the looks, white top, other nods to the FJ-40 (I have one of those too). Visibility out the back and sides is as terrible as advertised, but better with convex stick on mirrors. The near vertical windshield is a magnet for road debris (I was ready for a third one). The suicide back doors weren't an issue for us, but may be for some people, especially if you have a car seat(s) for the kid(s). I was also facing a timing belt replacement next year. Moving to a 4Runner was a tough call, and I'm still second guessing myself occasionally. If Toyota still sold the FJ's here, I would have bought a 2020 when they were available, not my 4Runner.
