The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating
6.8
7.4
TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2013 Jeep Wrangler is just as ready for adventuring as it looks--and surprisingly tolerable for the commute. The Toyota FJ Cruiser is the real deal, pairing authentic trail toughness with modern conveniences; but families and commuters attracted mainly to its brawny, very stylish look should think twice.
