I own a late 2020 Fortuner SRX (top trim). So far no problems. Its my daily drive, only 40.000km, I work near my house, but I have taken this thing to the gnarliest roads with no issue. Last year, we where in the mountains and had a big snow storm. The car came under 1mts of fresh snow with ease by it self. Also completed several trails in winter. This summer we made it up and down the infamous "Cuchilla" trail (knife's edge) only in 4x4low, no diff block needed. Only modified vehicules could make the climb...and also this car, with no modifications, hehehe. Summary: hard suspension, brilliant transmition, big but not huge, enough ground clearance, no rattles or squeaks. Few cars come adventure-ready from the factory with this reliability in my country. Perfect for me.

I have been driving one of 2.8 variants for about 5 years now, and I still absolutely love it!! The only little thing I find a bit annoying is the slow tail gate opening and closing action. Some of the rivals in this day and time is faster. But apart from that, I do not have any complaints. Driving at night with the LED lights is a breeze and a massive upgrade from my Ford Ranger I used to drive before that. Some of my friends have well over 500k kms on the clock with no rattles, no major issues mechanically, nothing. I do have received complaints about the interior built quality and driving quality of some of the later models. But I love my car. With the vehicle price increase in my country, I will have to spend about 90% more now, than I've spent on this car to get something better. Also, this car loves gravel roads and exploring and driving far distances, and I never felt uncomfortable after hours of driving.

I have a 2016 Toyota Fortuner. Always serviced with local Toyota dealer. Best part is dealer initiate if there is any warranty work to be done and gave me a Toyota Rav4 hybrid for a day absolutely free. Toyota app gives you what's expected in a service. DPF replaced under warranty doesn't have to beg or fight for any work to be done. Absolutely happy with the car. Ford will give you more bells and whistles but when it comes to warranty work good luck with that. It is not sophisticated by any means and no line departure or ADAS but I m confident this will go pass the 500Kms.

Plenty of aftermarket stuff for them mine is all ARB. The 2nd row seats are on a slide rail so they can be moved forward to give more room in the third row, also the front dash cup holder slide forward so if you can’t handle a “real man’s coffee” you can fit a latte in it. Generally zero problems except the stupid infotainment system however I’m getting a kenwood system as per the tuna forums it’s an easy fit. If you want a no BS 4wd get it.

I do own a 2021 Feverish Red Toyota Fortuner GXL myself, with 85070km on the odometer, even though it can be rough and heavy to drive sometimes, I do enjoy driving it as my family car to seat 6 people (including my niece). Good thing I own the facelifted model so I have the updated infotainment system with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto on it, automatic climate control air conditioning, and black cloth seating (at least I avoided the brown interior completely) but the front indicators of the car does give me the shits, it’s so low that I get cut off on roundabouts constantly as other drivers cant see them. Weirdly enough, I may be the only Filipino man that actually drives a Fortuner in here in Australia, when it’s such a common car for people to drive in the Philippines, my uncle owns one there and I drove that car as my test drive before I bought one in Penrith Toyota when my 2004 Camry needed to be replaced.

Identity crisis all because of LC prado because you buy a Suv with LandCrusier badging instead of Fortuner which sounds like weird naming and Both pricing & Engine is same but it’s a rugged Hilux based Suv and that diesel is chumeshwaరీ lasts for ever.😂

The Fortuner outsells the Everest, MuX and Pajero Sport in South Africa, combined! The reason is its ruggedness, durability and reliability.

I asked this question during the Ford Everest video, but i didn't get a response. Why is it that Ute based SUVs almost exclusively come with diesel engines?

Because the base utes have diesel engines for diesel markets. If they made one in America or Canada, it would be petrol.

Believe it or not, it is an aspirational/ status symbol vehicle in India. It has no strong rivals so they keep bumping the price up and the used fortuners hold their values well. They sell really well in India. It is super popular with Politicians.

Everybody has different requirements for their rides,,,, this one is a more rugged 4WD. So it is not meant for the mild and meek. lt would suit me because l require a strong/rugged towing car with enough room in back to sleep and store gear. lt would cope with hauling a jetboat through rocky river beds where urban -based soft-roaders would struggle and break.
