I drive ambulances that have NO side windows and even less rear window visibility than the FJ. Having the big convex mirrors helps, but I still use my blinker for like 10 seconds before I change lanes and if I can I have my partner give a quick check.

Its possible to drive th FJ like that safely, but I doubt the average person can do it.

Also, no matter what you do with your mirrors, you will have blindspots. Even if you have good visibility with them, what about motorcycles? They certainly would be harder to track in your mirrors.

Toyota goofed on the FJ.
