I am the "soccer mom" and I love love love my FJ. It serves it's purpose. If you have more than two kids to haul around it may pose a problem. I have 1 and it is PERFECT!

Are you sure about that??
 
I may well be wrong, but it seems to me that there is something in the owners manual about shutting off the daytime light..it may be something that the dealer has to do..can not remember for sure...Take a look thru the manual in detail, it may well be my memory, however...I do know you can shut off the passenger seat belt warning signal...

Need help with electrical outlet use by kristymiss

I am needing to use the outlet for a party. I have read the instructions many times to make sure I don't screw something up. Is it intended to be used with the engine on? From what I can tell-use of it in the ON mode is only supposed to be for temporary use. Can anyone clarify the correct use?
 
BTW-it is listed 120V
 
Thanks!

Question from disabled mom about cargo area... by prolifemom

Hi! I'm the mom of three kids that am REALLY tired of my minivan. Love the look of the FJ....here's my question: can someone give me an idea of how large the cargo area in the back is, including how tall it is? I know my manual wheelchair and scooter will fit with no problem, but I just purchased an electric wheelchair that weighs 250 pounds. Life would be sweet if there were enough room in the back of the FJ that I could have a lift installed for the electric wheelchair (the kind of lift that's an arm that swings out....not one of those huge lifts with a "floor" and all that). Also, how about the comfort of the FJ seats? I have a severe spine disorder, and the one thing I love about my current Dodge Caravan is the driver and front passenger seats are very comfortable. Thanks in advance for the info! I do plan to go look at an FJ in person, but wanted to kind of get an idea about the space before I go getting my hopes up about freeing myself of the minivan.

My question is about the stereo system. Is satellite radio automatic? Do all FJ's have antennas?

you only get the sat capable radio with the upgrade packages, then you also have to plug in the reciver and antenna kit as well

I can't answer all your questions but I can comment on the seats. I have had back surgery, (low back) and need lumbar support. The F J does not have a separate lumbar support adjustment however, on my first drive of about 2.5 hours, I had no trouble with back support or discomfort.

Daytime Running lights: on or off by rollbar
Dec 13, 2006 (1:41 pm)

I was curious too..... The manual says, (it's written oddly isn't it?) that you can turn off the Daytime running lights by turning the ignition switch to "off" or by turning the light stalk switch to position "2".
 
Now I had to think about that for a minute......
 
What they are really saying is that if you turn the vehicle off, (as in parking it) the Daytime running lights will be off. Or...if you turn the main headlights on, the daytime running lights will turn off.
 
LOL Why didn't they just say, you can't turn them off all you can do is turn on the regular headlights.
 
Oh Well.... I find much of the owners manual is written that way. I suppose it has something to do with translation from Japanese to English.

PS An exception; If you are parked with the engine running and don't want the daytime running lights on, pull up on the emergency brake, that will turn them off. There is no way however, to turn them off while driving.
