Toyota FJ Cruiser vs. Dodge Journey Review

Handling
With its tighter turning radius, the Journey is quite certainly more agile than the Toyota FJ Cruiser, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the other hand, remember that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Dodge Journey's engine is tremendously smaller than the FJ Cruiser's. Bear in mind that a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder; on the other hand, smaller engines typically get better gas mileage. The Toyota FJ Cruiser packs quite a punch compared to the Dodge regarding torque, which is roughly equivalent to acceleration.

Utility
Drivers with frequent child-duty might favor the Dodge Journey over the Toyota FJ Cruiser. The Journey is a better choice than the FJ Cruiser in terms of transporting cargo, especially if you often need to carry a lot of loot or big animals. Towing is significantly more the Toyota FJ Cruiser's forte than it is the Dodge Journey's.

Convenience
The Toyota FJ Cruiser's fuel tank will need to be replenished more often than the unit in the Dodge.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the FJ Cruiser offers a bit more head room than the Dodge Journey, there frankly isn't much of a difference. While the rear of the Journey provides a bit more head- and leg-room than the FJ Cruiser, there honestly isn't much of a difference.

Dimensions
The Toyota FJ Cruiser is significantly heavier than the Dodge Journey. The FJ Cruiser's tank is roughly the same size as the Journey's, though the Dodge's is a bit larger. The Toyota FJ Cruiser and the Dodge Journey compete for the same parking spaces. The Toyota FJ Cruiser's shorter wheelbase may produce a less-settled highway ride but a sprier feel in daily traffic than the Dodge Journey.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The Dodge is substantially cheaper to get to the dealership than the Toyota FJ Cruiser. The Journey doesn't pale in comparison to the Toyota FJ Cruiser when it comes to gas mileage. In terms of gas mileage, the Dodge beats the Toyota FJ Cruiser. The Toyota FJ Cruiser isn't much less costly than the Dodge Journey with respect to MSRP.

Warranty
The Dodge Journey and the Toyota FJ Cruiser have the same basic after-sale protection.
