If you could've told Toyota to change 1 thing, what would it be?

    Toyota could have made the rear fuel tank so it filled the void back to the chassis rail/tow bar.
    Got a 21ltr. water tank in there now.
    A 4WD with 200 ltrs of fuel capacity standard, would have lead the market.

      Reducing fuel capacity is one way the keep the max weight of vehicle down. This was one of the justifications of cutting the 150's capacity

            I've a 120 D4D and my only beef is with the phone Bluetooth kit, sounds terrible for others.

              Cruise control x 3..... Friggin useless unless on dead straight ground, like most cruise control I've had in all toyota's friggin useless. Our statesman and commodore were the best..... Cheers Steve

                Not sure what the problem that people seem to have with the cruise control, never had a bad thing happen with it and I use it nearly daily! Agree whole heartedly with the rear door though, split doors would have been good.

                    Put 4 normal opening doors on the FJ Cruiser and I'll buy one.

                      I thought that was the result of burying the third row seats into the floor?

                          Bucket you probably don't have the problem because yours is manual. In the auto there a pain in the arse, the slightest incline and instead of gradually increasing the throttle to keep the set speed up to the set point they drop off by approx 3 to 5k (with mine anyway) then it goes ""oh shit we need to speed up" so it nails the throttle and all of a sudden you have gone back 2 gears (if your lucky not more) then revs the shit out of it (4 grand+) then over shoots the set point so it backs off a tad but continues to hold it in that gear until it decides to let it change back up. Absolute pain in the arse. On flat ground its ok but when in hilly or slightest hilly terrain I don't even bother switching using it and normally I will cancel it out when approaching a hill and take over manually, and it certainly doesn't keep the economy at its best either......Cheers Steve

                              Agree it was why I went for a 2008 120 rather than a 2009/10 150. Easier to have the drawers installed.

                                Glass ??? do you like replacing them ?? I know they stay clearer then the polycarbonate they use now but head light covers certainly slow the aging process on the polycarbonate and you can also get a kit which cleans them back up but this would only be required probably once or twice in its life......I have had covers on the glass ones and still had the glass crack and the covers just got a stone chip in it.......Cheers Steve
