The ultimate testdrive

Hello members.

I posted a few threads allready about my new TRD, but this is different. I picked up a 2007 TRD in New Brunswick NJ last week, and I drove it 2300 miles to Montana. I have been through the Wisconsin snow storm on Friday and the North Dakota one on Saturday. I-94 from Minnesota to Bismarck ND was totally closed off due to unplowed conditions. I have passed cars, trucks, pickups and 4 wheel drives that were blown away by the high winds, my FJ kept going and going without a flitch. I have posted some videos on Youtube, I will paste the URLs. Also I will attach some of the cars and trucks that made it off the I-94. All I have to say, this is one bad piece of machinery !!!! The gas mileage is pretty good as well compared to other 4L 6 cylinder SUVs. Any other car would have made me nuts after driving 12 hrs 3 days in a row, but driving the FJ was a true pleasure!!!

The first video looks like the area where Steve Buscemi was trying to find the money in the movie Fargo. Congrats on the FJ.

Re: The ultimate testdrive

It was my pleasure posting these pics/videos. I am working on an email that will go to Toyota. They deserve some good feedback.
