When the pump stops for me I am done, and if it turns out to be the tank is not full then oh well. This is after sloshing gas on the outside several times...

I have the best success filling the tank with the pump at about 2/3 of max flow. If the pump shuts off at the very beginning then I rotate the handle so it is upside down and then fill it. And in that case I listen for the rush of air to tell me it is filling up and I watch it very closely; one or two times I have had the pump not shut off and gas come spewing forcefully out... blah...

My FJ is very similar, it is finicky about fill ups.
