We recommend using the train as it is the most popular way to get from Friedrichshafen to Düsseldorf among Omio's users.
Take the train. It's meaningfully faster than driving, and the time saved usually justifies the price.

You'll arrive about 1h 40m sooner (5h 1m by train vs 6h 41m by car). Tickets start at around $106 (€89) compared to roughly $97 (€81) in fuel and tolls — so you're paying a bit more, but getting hours of your day back, a city-centre arrival, and the freedom to work or relax instead of drive.

Driving makes more sense if you're travelling as a group (where fuel costs split several ways), want to stop along the way, or need a car once you arrive.
