The FJ Cruiser looks like a great TV for the TM. It has a rather short wheel base at 105" so you may want to consider a sway bar. You won't need it most of the time because the axle is mounted pretty far aft on the TM. However, if you get into high wind situations, it might be nice to have so that you don't have the tail wagging the dog....

The GCWR is 9,200 lbs and the Curb weight is 4,050 lbs. This leaves you 5150# for fully loaded trailer, passengers, cargo and fuel. With a towing capacity of 5000# there is no worry there.

I think that you could find a much better deal on an older TM.....You may have to travel some to get it.
