Am I crazy to sell FJ Cruiser for Bronco?

[BottleShark]

I broke down and ordered a 2 door Badlands Bronco last week. No I’m worried I might be making a mistake get ride of FJ for Bronco. The “1st year issues” scare me when I know the Toyota can run for 200k+ with no issues. Just looking for Bronco lovers opinions.

Well.... You're not getting a first year... And maybe not even a second year. So there's that .... Lol

Keep the FJ if you can afford both. I miss my FJ

Keep them all! His/hers/kids

I wouldn't sell the FJ unless you can get enough to pay for the whole Bronco and something to drive in the interim. Wait until you possess the Bronco before you sell the FJ.

By the time you get your Bronco, you're going to be well past "1st Year Issues". You'll get to worry about 2nd or 3rd year issues if you're lucky

I might could keep them both but not both and wife . She said I already have to many cars.

Feeling that about letting go of my 08 tundra....

No crazier than I for selling my LJ Rubicon for the Bronco...

Tell her you can have multiple vehicles, or multiple women - pick one. (She won't pic women)

I'm in a similar situation . I have a 2 door Badlands on order with a 07 FJ in my garage with 160k of trouble free miles, well almost, I replaced the alternator and that's it. The wife does not want to get rid of it and insist we need to keep it. I have no idea how this is going to work in terms of where to park it because it can't stay in the garage. I've been driving the FJ over 12 years and I'm bored with it but Toyotas are tough to beat in the reliability department.

I haven’t had mine that long, but I just added a winch and bumper. I know I have months before I will see the Bronco, but that’s just months of thinking. Then I fear I will regret what ever choice I make

Wow, are you my doppelganger? Ditto in every aspect!

My 2007 FJ just blew the engine LAST WEEK with 330k miles on it. My bronco is being built Jan. 3rd. But no way I'm getting rid of the FJ....it's been a great vehicle. I'm gonna put in a reman engine and run it another 330k miles. It's all factory too.......rock rails, etc..... I'll be happy to have both.

Triple doppelgänger- except we have had our 2007 FJ since March of 2006, 155k, alternator and one wheel bearing.
