Hello,

I have a 2006 4Runner Limited 4.0L and love it. It is a daily driver and suits me perfectly. When I bought it, it was this or an FJCrusier. I Think I made the right choice but can't help but keep looking at FJ's. Now my wife needs to replace her car and I am compelled to think FJ again. My biggest hold back is the lack of Multi-Mode. AWD comes in handy in Wisconsin winters. The other option would be add another 4Runner to the fam! Anyone have or had both that could give me some advice. There is a 2008 brick red FJ with Icons all around and 285's for sale for in the low 20's that is making my decision tough.

Can she drive a stick? The 6sp gets the same t-case as the V8 T4R which is good for the winters....

:cheers:
 
She doesn't drive a stick, but I could drive the FJ and she could have the 4Runner. My complaint about the 6 sp is that it must be geared without much of an overdrive because the mileage is as bad as the V8 4Runner!

Except that you cant be in 4LO with the center unlocked IIRC or is it locked?

It is full time 4wd so that has a big effect on mpg. I find the 1GR-FE to be fine in 2HI but in 4HI the performance takes a pretty noticeable hit.
 
Get another 4runner my friend or a highlander or something. i think those FJs are just plain weird, they are just a faze in my book. Hope that helps!
