it IS clumsy and jittery.

it's a ****ing truck that's meant to go off road.

you can't have on road manners and off road prowess.

i think that this will be a huge problem for toyota since this is a car people buy on looks and will quickly trash on its lack of friendliness on the streets. it was intended to be for the handful of gearheads who were mad at toyota for not having many off-road vehicles with the 'land cruiser' name on them in the US.

i drive a 2500 silverado and a 40 series--so the FJC is a space age wonder compared to the 40, and handles well compared to the dreadnought chevy.

but if your're replacing a cr-v or a sedan with your first toyota truck, you'll be disappointed.

it's a big, heavy, clumsy block.

if that's all you drive, that's no surprise or disappointment.
In complete agreement and well said. My wife drives a BMW 330 and after driving my FJ she quipped: "It's like driving a big, fat, sloppy girl."

But she's my girl....
