We were living in Wyoming in 2008 and bought the wife a new Toyota FJ Cruiser. There were many times that you you didn't shift out of 4WD for weeks and that FJ performed flawlessly. Standard operating procedure for us was around the 5 year mark the wife would get a new whatever and I would inherit her vehicle and run it in the ground.
Earlier this year I was in need a newer mode of transport and @rookhawk post prompted me to post this.
The wife asked if I could find a 2014 low milage FJ. If I could have found a 2014 FJ with less than 50 thousand miles on it in a color she liked (or any color) for 30-35K (cost of the 2008 off the showroom floor) I would have been in.
Best price I could find at the time was more like 45K.
The wife liked the Bronco Sport Heritage, white top, white rims and plaid seats. This particular Ford dealer happens to be close to where she likes to shop which works well for lifetime oil changes. So far we have been pleased but if they ever bring that Cruiser FJ into the states I have a feeling she is going to have to have one.
