I love the crawl control feature and its nice having 4 doors and a sliding back window .. 4 doors really come in handy with kids. Hopefully someday the FJ will be back in production. I had 115 k miles on it and figured id trade it in when resale is high instead of waiting years when mileage is high and not get as much for it.
Just recently did the same. After 7 years (88K miles) with the beloved 11 FJ, traded her in for an 18 TRD ORP. Love the huge sliding rear window. Still feel some similarities in the ride. FJ was unique and I hope its back one day. More and more everyday though loving the 4R. Can't wait for a nice long drive and some adventure time this summer.

Have a 2010 FJ TT...

Got rid of a Ram 1500 for a '17 4Runner TRD/OR Premium last February...

Love the bonuses the 4Runner has over the FJ- more room, that great rear window (dog loves it), rear seat comfort for the two teens, MUCH better steering wheel, was looking forward to slowly building it over time...

I still give the FJ the edge in overall fun factor (it's my DD and weekend rig), maneuverability (for me, it's easier to "flick" around traffic, and I can bust a u-turn on a narrow street without touching curb), and trail performance (again, for me and my abilities)...

and Toyota's Entune (first experienced in my 4Runner)?...WORST FACTORY SYSTEM ON THE PLANET...

Just recently had to make a decision to go back to a pickup, and the 4Runner lost. I just can't give up my little FJ mini-tank (it's family now), but if I ever do, I'll jump into another 4Runner.

I would agree, recently having a child with another on the way the FJ's days may be limited. It is such a PITA getting the kid in and out of a reversed seat.
