Questions from FJ Owner.
I've owned a 2014 FJ for a decade. 200k+, looking at another toyota/lexus. Only gx is appealing.
Questions:
I've heard the ride is rough, so long as it's not rougher than an FJ I am fine. Is it rougher than an FJ?
I saw a video of a guy reviewing the undercarriage and he mentioned how nice all the components were on the kixury edition, are the undercarriage components nicer on the luxury edition?
I've heard overtrail + is softer on the highway than luxury + or premium + and this is largely due to the tires on the luxury+ model. If you changed the tires on all 3 models to 265/75's will they all ride the same or is there really a difference in the ride?
What offroad features does the ot+ have that the Luxury+ does not?
Can you manually downshift like you can with the FJ? I saw a video of a guy towing downhill and the vehicle was downshifting automatically.
Does it beat the Fj I'm impact safety ratings?
Can a rear locker be added to the luxury+?
Right now my plan is to go Luxury + but then add offroad tires and full skid plates. Tires should soften the road ride but add offroad capability as I go to the gun range twice a month and getting to and from the range is pretry rough both down and uphill. Then where I live we have pretty serious winters as well.
