Honestly, explorer pa din. Toy car lang talaga yung FJ Cruiser kasi kung serious ako sa off-roading I'd get a Jeep Rubicon or probably a Merc G-Wagon. Hell even a Hilux can perform at its best.

One is a smaller 5-seater (it's a bit shorter than a Fortuner)...
....while the other one is a larger 7-seater, I guess it really depends on what you need.
Explorer is still a good option.
In terms of off-roadability, the Explorer isn't that bad if you'll just do mild off-roading.

It depends what's gonna be the primary use of the vehicle.
If not 80-90% off-road, you could choose the Explorer.
But beware of the numerous headaches the Explorer gives to its owners.
The FJ cruiser is nearing its end-of-life and IINM, Toyota will soon axe the FJ from the market.
Your choice still boils down to the end.

I would go for the Explorer. It looks elegant enough (for a SUV) and has much of the practical features like 7 seating and 3rd row folding seats for more cargo space. BUT I hate to use the manual 3rd row folding system because it was clearly was not thought through by the engineers who designed it. Obviously they just removed the motors from the powered version and simply added pull cords to release the locks (along with the 1000 step instructions) so you can push and pull the seats into the position you want.
As much as the FJ Cruiser looks cute and retro, it lacks much of the practicality and usefulness.
