Toyota's Legendary Reliability
Even high-mileage FJ Cruisers command strong prices due to Toyota's reputation for building vehicles that routinely exceed 200,000 miles with proper maintenance. This durability makes the FJ a relatively safe investment compared to other used cars.
The 4.0L V6 engine (1GR-FE) is particularly well-regarded for its longevity, and the dependable nature of the FJ's mechanical systems means fewer potential points of failure compared to more complex modern vehicles.
The drivetrain components – from the transmission to the transfer case and differentials – share much in common with other proven Toyota off-roaders, so parts and mechanics are always ready to jump in and offer a fix.
