FJ Cruiser or Explorer?

[boybi]

The FJ is okay if you're looking for a rugged off-roader on a budget.

Using the word "budget" loosely, since the Jimny is cheaper and more capable...

I already bought a cheap jimny m/t for this purpose. But for out of town trails, I'm hesitant to use the jimny. Naiiwanan lang ako sa convoy

Or Boybi can always buy both.

with a loan from you?

Turbo? Although the one guy I know who turbo'd one eventually blew the motor. Might have been too much boost or too much abuse. I think 6-7 psi should be doable.

For off-roading... Thinking out of left-field... Wildtrak 3.2 with a roller-cover? Pretty long wheelbase, but a good 4WD system and tall ride height.

The Wildtrak is really a looker. Unfortunately, I'm not into pickup trucks.

Too bad. And the Everest is at least a year away.

If it's a toy car then the FJ seems to be more of what you're looking for. Pareho pa sa makina ng Prado.

Have you checked with CATS kung may pre-owned na Rubicon?

I'm also avoiding brands that don't have dealers or service centers near our province. Hirap masiraan tapos dadalhin ko pa sa Metro Manila.

Also with the Explorer. I doubt anybody does 90% off-road anyway.

Nice pero maiiwan pa rin siya sa convoy.

May Ford malapit sa inyo, boybi? Or sa Pampanga na nearest?

pwede lagyan ng turbo yan. madali lang as per Berrima

OT: kakabalik ko lang ng office coming from ortigas. pag daan ko sa amber, may nakita akong corolla na nakapark sa harap ng driveway. napakalinis. sarap dumihan

Madumi yun... malabo lang mata mo.

Can the second row seats of the fj recline?

[imperialv]

explorer for me... :-) kahit yung 4x2 lang..

[akosidags]

Fj and explorer lang ang pinag iisipan ng tao ang dami naman dinadagdag na ibang auto lalo lang nakaka gulo 😔

Mukhang hindi if i base it on this pic... fold forward lang.

[boybi]

What happens pala if by accident, naunang naisara ang front doors tapos sinara din rear doors, may safety mechanism ba to prevent the rear doors from making a dent to the front doors?

FJ if it's not a primary vehicle but if you want to take a family then get the Explorer. The half doors on the FJ and the huge blind spot is what makes it bad. The vehicle was never meant to be a family hauler but a competitor to the 2 door Jeep JK models but have some additional space. Too bad for Toyota that Jeep started building a 4 door JK and now they have to discontinue the FJ. Here in the US they didn't sell a lot after the initial entry into the market because buyers had the Jeep and the Nissan Xterra as a choice and both offered full size doors. All three were never meant to be soft riding road friendly SUV's but tough get you on a trail off road adventure vehicles. The new Explorer is more for people who don't ever leave the road and consider a dirt road going off road.

As of this moment, I'm around 80% into getting an FJ. I was assured of a unit from a friend when it will become available. Nakakahiya na mag backout. I already have a Starex for a family car.

Going back to my question above, will the doors be damaged if the front doors were closed before the rear doors?
