Hey everyone! Welcome to another one of my informational FJ Cruiser videos! In this one I wanted to make a video showcasing all the changes Toyota made to the FJ Cruiser between 2007 and 2014 going year by year, covering everything I could find, even the little stuff! Hopefully this helps you answer the question of which year for the FJ Cruiser is best or which year is best for you to buy!
If you have a favorite year or color please comment it below, or if you have any questions feel free to ask as well!
Here are the links mentioned in the video:

  • I bought a 2007 fj back in 2018. I was going to upgrade the roof rack and put a roof top tent. Unfortunately it got totaled by a drunk driver. She hit me at 70 mph on an over pass bridge. She almost hit me directly head on but I was able to turn in slightly so she hit my side in glancing blow; my wife and daughter were on the non-collision side. We walked away from it and so did the drunk driver. That fj was a tank. Bought another 2007 fj. Finally have the rooftop tent, off road fridge freezer extra battery portable 140 watt zamp solar. Life is good.

    • Except you forgot to mention that 2009 was the last of timing chain instead of belt, hydraulic brakes and steering instead of electric and a few more things that require more maintenance and $ and things to break. Computers are always big bucks. In my opinion a 2009 would be the one to look for, for Bullet proof and low maintenace.

  • I have a 2007 FJ Cruiser; I purchased it in early 2008. I have driven the heck out of the beast. I’ve replaced the brakes and alternator. The vehicle is running marvelous. I use it off road and as a computer. I keep the oil changed; I treat as I should, and I use it to haul. 17ft travel trailer. My FJ pulls that trailer around like it is nothing. My FJ has 280k miles on the odometer. I would not trade it for any other off road vehicle that claims to be superior. I believe the 07 FJ was the best made. I have living proof.

I upgraded the all the lights to L.E.D and added new bumper tips with built in L.E.D. LIGHTS. Love it! It is my vacation car when I go to PR 3-4 times a year.

  • I have a 2012. Had it since 2014 (bought with like 27k miles on it). Haven't had a single issue. I did replace the brake rotors and pads after 85k (currently at like 88k). The stock ones are good / rated for 100k. My mechanic told me the originals still had a lot of life on them, after 85k miles! I also of course have had new tires, and I do a Mobile 1 Synthetic oil change once a year or 7.5k miles (so, once a year for me). This vehicle is amazing! My mechanic has said, "they are over engineered". Will never get rid of mine, even though it is worth the same or more than I bought it for 7 years ago!

  • When I've been collecting knowledge before buying my own FJ I found information that the front fender structure cracking was fixed by Toyota in 2008 (not necessarily ready for all '09 MY) by adding additional strengthen element inside. But if you found several 2009 MY FJs with this problem it means I found misleading information. Thanks for the video. Great job.

Anyway, I got it for 12k and still loving it. It's been a year now and still drives the same. Thus far, only had to change my oil twice and maybe a bulb or two.

  • First off I love the recap of the factory specs of the FJs for newbies. Although I am an original owner of an 08 Titanium Silver with 62k on the clock currently. BUT... you now have two videos which leave out the Blu Logic Bluetooth 2008-2010 PT923-00098 which was a dealer install option with Switch Panel switch. Although I waited until dealers started to clear this option out of inventories and got it cheap new in box and installed it myself. Also my research has documented the fender bulge issue to Feb '07 and before; not later. Keep up the history lessons for future owners of these beloved rigs.

I've been in 3 accidents all 3, not at fault, and the last one was a head-on collision. My wife and I walked away from all 3 accidents unscathed....not so much for the Ford Mustang, Chrysler PT Cruiser, and Ford Fusion. The only reason why we kept our FJ. OUR SAFETY. Visibility really sucks! But with lil' blind mirrors attached to the side mirrors helped a lot. Bring the FJ BACK!!
