The FJ afforded excellent ground clearance, a good ride
(the FJ still came with the tried and true FX
suspension),
a rugged drivetrain, energetic performance, comfortable
seating for six, low maintenance, fuel economy and unbeatable
value for money. For the time the whole package was well
sorted. The FJ was a marketing success, selling itself incredibly
well and beyond the most opportunistic marketing managers
estimates - invariably there were waiting lists at every
dealer.
