I'm looking at buying a new FJ toyota for my out of the way travels, and leave the BMW for city/ local driving.
It seems the FJ is more rugged and better suited to outback conditions, has a proper spare tyre etc..., and seems relatively comfortable inside.
Pity though it hasnt got a Diesel Option (as yet anyway).
Any thoughts of this option as I'm looking at 50K

One thing about the automatic FJ is it's only part time 4wd, I don't know if that's important to you or not, but only the manual trans is full time and I'm not sure if that's available in Australia.
If you really want a diesel, the Prado uses the exact same chassis, although it'll be a bit more.
I've had my FJ for going on 5 years and it hasn't given me any issues, tons of parts for it if you need to beef it up starting with ARB. Still, it's a bunch of money just to have a couple of spare tires. But you gain a low range with it and much better offroad ability.
