FJ Xtreme or TRD
Hi All,
I have a friend hesitating between an FJ Xtreme and TRD to drive in the desert. Any thoughts which one is better ?

Re: FJ Xtreme or TRD
I agree with Firas! Advise your friend to get the stock one, modify it to his liking if he thinks he needs to, still will be paying less than these two models are worth..Bu Shahid wrote:I would recommend the stock one, but between the two the Xtreme

Re: FJ Xtreme or TRD
Agreed on stock model and he can install much better suspensions and mods
Only issue is the engine safety shutter toyota installed since mid 2015
I would advise 2014 model to ensure you can drive at high rpm when required

Also one thing to remember is if he gets the Xtreme he will have even less visibility than the stock one due to the additional air intake.

I would recommend the stock one. But nor TRD at all .
I have it 2015 . Very expensive and suspension is very bad.
