Its getting to be that time - im looking at a 2007 fj ( has factory towing and locker ) or a 2010 xterra.

Both are going to be poor mileage wise, but its better than the 12 mpg i get now with the kj.i need something that will be able to tow a trailer with the cj, and its going to be a dd with no trail time. Which would you go for ? The xterra or fj?

If it were me I'd go with the FJ.

the FJ has more aftermarket support - and some enthusiast groups

don't think the Xterra gets any respect at all.

FJs had their own issues which you may look into they do have a lot of aftermarket support for bumpers etc though
Xterras are almost like libertys, they do their job but not many think its a real 4 WD :wink:

Oh man FJ, this dude around town has a SWEEEEEET lookin one, white top, black body and all decked out with all the goodies. I know nothing of them other than they look cool :jester:

Just ask Tom, I have told him about it countless times :ROTFL:

You still have the CJ? Keep it in the family and get another Jeep :JEEPIN:

Went into things really wanting to like the FJ, but after driving and trying to back into a parking space, reality set in that it wouldn't work for us.

Wound up going with the Xterra
