New FJ Owner and Loving it!!
So its time for me to buy a new vehicle as my company vehicle. I was currently driving a Yukon for the past 5 years and my gas bill was just killing me. My wife talked me into checking out the FJ and to be honest I wasnt that thrilled with the idea. See I am 6'6" about 310 lbs and I barely fit comfortably into most cars. Long story short, I went and looked at the FJ, got in it and couldnt believe how much space I had. My hair didnt touch the roof, I could almost fully extend my left leg and my shoulders didnt feel crammed at all.
So for about $12K less then the Yukon I got the FJ and I am very glad I did. I have a bunch of "newb" questions, so thanks to everyone that posts on this board, its a great read.
