Michael, I have a 2007 FJ Cuiser and I love it. No problems and when you get 120+ inches of snow in the winter like we do you just gotta have it. I also own a 82fj40 landcruiser that has +165k miles and still goes strong. It will literally drive up a tree! Personnally I don't think you can go wrong with Toyota.
