2020 Toyota Fortuner 2.8GD6 VX facelift review by SA4x4
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The new 2020 Toyota Fortuner is a great vehicle and the two main areas where Toyota felt they were slightly lacking in terms of their competition; was design and power. Two rather important areas if you ask me!
Thankfully, this year brings a facelift and proper power gain for the 2.8 Model. See our full video review here or join us on our app or website for more heated discussions and debates on your likes or dislikes with these improvement upgrades.
We took the Toyota Fortuner 2.8 GD6 VX to Ou Trekpad near Cape Town to see how these changes, amongst others, affects this top selling vehicle’s off-road ability with some mild 4x4 testing.

Thanks Joyfred. We did have quite a bit of fun testing this Fortuner out. it seems that the Hilux RS is in quite a high demand with our fleet managers. However, we should be getting one shortly. Perhaps just in time for Christmas ;) We hate stating the obvious...but if you subscribe to or channel you should get the notification to watch it as soon as we launch our video review. Where are you based? and are you a big Hilux fan?

@@joyfredbaartman6305 Yes! That was when we had the vehicle temporarily for the day. We're hoping to get the vehicle for another 4 days to make sure we can do all the filming and testing ( CPT weather permitting). Perhaps you would like to join us on our next test? Send us your details via private message on our SA4x4 Facebook page with your contact number, and lets see if we can make a plan to meetup. It would be great to get some public perspective on these off-road 4x4 tests ;)
Nice review, now please do a review of the new 2.4 GD6 Fortuner GX

Hi Eddy, is there anything specific you're looking for? Torque comparisons? etc. Visually they are both extremely similar with only the gear box and engine spec being the biggest obvious differences.

Normal mode was allways there in the before models. Just needed to press eco or power twice to activate it.

Hi Gagandeep, thank you for your comment, that makes sense. Although we feel now it is slightly more intuitive having a dedicated button for it.

How much difference did you feel on road compared to 174 bhp 450 nm 4x4 AT.? Is the uprated engine more fun to drive??

Hi Kulbir, it made a big difference. 60-120kmh performance feels much faster, and that is where you drive a vehicle most of the time.

Is it a LSD or is it the Traction Control system? I assume it still has Difflock?

Hi Henk, YES, it is definitely a limited slip differential that works alongside the traction control system and you are correct, it has difflock in the rear too. ;)
