OK folks - the good PR people at Toyota have delivered me a pre-production FJC for evaluation this week.
I am in the southwest suburbs of Dallas county and if anyone is interested, contact me offline and we can maybe go drive schedule permitting.
I recently found this forum (this morning in fact) as I am preparing part one of my review for the print product I write for.
Part two will cover more in-depth and offroad. I am keeping part one to introduction, background and onroad experience.
So far, I love the truck and the ride and drive experience. Very, very quiet and smooth but blind spots as one would expect. Truck kind of reminds me of cross between Element, H3 and Xterra but LOVE the styling and heritage with FJ.
Glad to see so much buzz and excitement over something that really has not made its presence fully known in the mainstream (yet).
Viral marketing at its best, I suppose.
Contact me at
autoworld@todaynewspapers.net.
Might even try for a run out to Barnwell time permitting.

P.S. Interested in thoughts and comments from folks that i can use along with the article.
