  • In this video we hit the trails with a TJ Wrangler and an FJ Cruiser to find out which is king. This was an awesome loop with a variety of forest roads, steep climbs and technical rocky terrain to put these two off-roaders to the test. Let us know which you'd prefer in the comments below!

    I have owned a few jeeps, YJ, TJ, Cherokee and M-715. Now I own a FJ Cruiser.
    I wouldn’t trade it for any of them.
    The FJ is just absolutely awesome and easy to work on if you need to.
    Really a great rig and it’s a keeper.

      I'm a Jeep guy, but sad to see they discontinued the FJ. It's badass and like the Jeep it's so unique no need for a logo on it. It's obvious what it is. Too many makes today look so alike, not FJ...

    I have pretty much the same FJ and I have to say that trail wasn't much of a challenge for either vehicle. I think the short wheel base on the jeep gives it a bit more of an advantage, but it's lack of lockers hurt it. If it were a harder trail, the FJ's A-Track and locker combination would have given it a big advantage. That Jeep would probably go any where with lockers. BTW, I love my FJ!

    Two very different vehicles in terms of platforms. I’ll take the FJ all day long over that particular Jeep. Also, why do people insist on comparing the FJ with a Jeep that has 35-37s. It’s all in the tires. For most climbs.

    Looks like a fun day! The FJ is very capable, and the Bronco looks to be as well, but it's hard to beat the articulation you get from the solid front axle on the Wrangler when doing technical things. Even without the sway bar disconnect (I'm assuming the TJ didn't have one).

      I have a 2010 FJ, and live in south america. If it ever needed parts, I can swap most major parts with any hilux, landcruiser, 4runner, etc, that is plus or minus a decade in age to my 2010. where I go, jeeps do not follow. Your next human is 100 km away, and your next jeep part might be thousands of kilometers away; if not on the other side of the world. I am not waiting 6 weeks in the middle nowhere, for part that should not failed in the first place.

    If I had to adjust the FJ when it came off the factory floor, I would've issued the option for the 4.7 V8 found in the 4Runner and lower model turdras. But I think there's something to that, like balancing on why the went with the V6. But I'm a bronco owner. What do I know? Love the FJ's and TJ's.

    Nice video. Toyota just wouldn't be able to keep up with it's ifs if the trail got more extreme. Solid axles articulate more and are stronger. The Toyota does have an advantage for hill climbs with it's longer wheel base though. That's why the 4 door jk and jl are climbing beasts because of the longer wheel base

    First, where were you 4 wheeling at? Looks like Edison Sno park area possibly?
    I own a Scout and a FJ. I would say the FJ dominates as it travels much better to this area on the highway compared to a squirrely jeep and more then held its own on the trail. Advantage FJ. Mine is a 2010 and It beats my Scout, and my scout is much better at freeway speed then most jeeps prior to 2000.
    Also, this jeep looks to not be too stock. The FJ did look to be pretty stock. Let's get a stock sport wrangler out there and see what is what
