Hello all

I have some question please help me

is there any difference between 2007 2008 FJ AND DOES IT DIFFERS IF IT IS US or GCC cuz I heard that 2007 models have a problem in the gear box and the US models have a temp problem

do u rocemend getting a 2007 FJ ?

Hi There is no difference between the 2007and 2008 FJ's. The first change, the dual VVTI setup was made in 2010, 2012 saw new 17" rims, manual option and other cosmetic changes.

Get a GCC Spec FJ as the US Spec comes with a thinner radiator core and it tends to overheat here.

The only real difference between 07 and 08 US and GCC spec cars is the 17" rims on the US version and the thinner radiator core. Also the speedo will be in miles on the US version.

Mechanically there is no difference

Don't get any FJ below 2010 as the chassis flex will rip the fenders with your kind of driving, they cured it in the 2010 with a stiffer chassis.

The manual is not recommended, the gear ratios are not evenly spaced and driving a six speed manual in city will be quiet a chore

I have No Idea about Fatima Jumaa,,,,, arty:

Hi Kalemero,

How can you import the 2007 model. That will be over 6 years and currently one is allowed to import only less than 5 years.
