FJ Cruiser

Heard the story about the FJ Cruiser is coming to Australia, checked in with the local Toyota Dealer and its true but as far as he knows it will only be in petrol, with the 4.0 litre Prado V6 engine , He doubts he will sell many as 80% of his sales are diesel.

Toyota Australia are crazy not to fit the Prado diesel, (the FJ Cruiser is based on the Prado chassis & running gear) , I reckon if there was enough intrest in a diesel they would have to do it.

Went shopping for another 4X to replace the 80 series a few months back & found the 76 Wagon too narrow inside (more like our old hilux) and could find nothing to replace the 80 so put a new Fuel pump & injectors in instead. ( Prado was too nice inside for me) but I love the FJ cruiser as it is all vinyl inside not that you would hose it out but it looks like you could.

I would not buy another petrol car but would seriously consider a Diesel FJ Cruiser. We had a good look in and around one whilst in US a few years back but could not snare a test drive.
Its nice & roomy inside & even tho I dont like IFS I would buy one if there was a diesel.
