Common issue: they steal them, full stop.

I would be interested to find out the actual stats on theft. They are quite popular and Toyota sells thousands in a year. So the only way of determining if they are more likely to be stolen than other vehicles is if it were possible to get the percentage of cars on the road that are stolen. Having said that, it seems that the thieves have an eye for a quality product I don't own one, if anyone is wondering.

They're really nice for the time the buyer gets to borrow them. In JHB they'd literally follow you home - it's not just opportunistic car thieves, there are syndicates with quotas to hit on Fortuner/Hilux. They also really like stealing the spare wheel...

Got one in the yard, 2009 model 3.0 D4D bought from new. Just turned 150 000kms a few weeks ago. Full Service History from NEW!!! Never been stuck!

Easily one of my new favorite series on the channel, Keep it up guys🙌

My dad bought this car in 2013, a Black one with all the features. It is now around 600 000Km and still runs like a new car, this is an amazing car, it is a D4D. The issues it had were just the Clutch which happened around 500,000 km, and some oil issues, It is serviced almost every month just to mention that.

If it’s serviced every month, it may be losing too much oil, an indication of severe engine wear. Earliest maintenance should be at least 3 months, 6 months on average (or 5k miles).

Great content. Please give us more of this series. I propose that you should prioritize popular/top-selling cars just like you've done with the FORTUNER. Good innovation!!!!!!!

Many people still have the first generation Fortuner and a few facelifts here and there... But the new one is amazing to drive but many people are scared to buy one because they get stolen daily.

I dont think many are afraid of buying it if the extremely high volumes Toyota sells every month (it's the second highest selling vehicle in SA) is anything to go by

So informative. Ciro releasing bangers at this stage👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Love this series! Could you do an episode on the Ford Everest and Ranger?

The biggest weakness which you did not mention, is the fact that these vehicles are high risk and are regularly stolen while the newer versions are hijack material, would never put my family in one…

I bought a 2015 2.4 D4D in the Philippines loved it great car and I sold it and now I'm looking for another one but maybe an earlier model. It's sad to hear that our South African friends have to worry about theft and hijackings that thought never crosses my mind here in the Philippines I . My next fortuner will definitely be a 4x4. Looking for a 2006 2007 I love The instrument panel cluster on those earlier models.

Brilliant presentation. Many thanks.

Awesome!

Great addition to the channel this series! A fantastic "all rounder"......UNDISPUTED at that, but the "risk attached" ownership experience has always been too off-putting IMHO. Some of the alternate option mentions are well worth a look instead, providing one would be willing to forego a bit of the "Toyata reliability" Looking forward to the next one in this series guys! 👌

I can't wait to see you do this for the BMW 3 series

I sold my 2010 Fortuner (upgrade, but not facelift yet - bigger rims/tyres and stability added) with 439 000 km on the clock and it was still 100%,i`m sure it could easily do another 400 000km! Now i have a Hilux 3.0D4d 4x4 with 135 000 km and it will never be sold! IMHO, most of the roll-over of the early version were caused by people towing too heavy caravans/trailers and add to that incorrect tyre pressures.

We still have the first generation 2006 3.0D4D over 300k and counting only replaced the injectors wasn’t urgent but still so lively and solid. The “rolling” issue was rear shocks they were single action shocks not dual Toyota would not declare this just replace with Monroe’s. Will never sell it, nice to keep around.

Hi. Thanks for the update on the fortuner. Can it be possible to have a buyers guide in know more details about vw kombi please 🙏

ours has got 460 000kms. Had no major issues yet. just expected maintenance. 3l d4d

Mitsubishi pajero and Toyota Fortuner comparison the much better in modern feature is Mitsubishi pajero ultimate driving performance at urban road and offroad for Toyota Fortuner it only better at torque in offroad,both Japanese car is very practical daily use, easier to maintain repair and modification

Rather get a Pajero Sport especially the 3.2DID, they are just as reliable, they also mostly come in 4x4 for many selling for well under R200k. Oh yes…and they don’t steal them.😎

Keep the series going, love it. How about Amarok for one of the slots?

Would love to hear about the fortuner GD6 engine

Please add information about running costs of fuel and maintenance.

I dont understand why you did not cover the Gen2 models?

I love this, wish u would do them more often. So I was on ur app and I realised that the previous gen ford ranger raptor is about the same price as a base current Gen Ford ranger, which one would be the better buy?

I find my Fortuner a good all round vehicle. It does most things reasonably well but is not outstanding at anything except reliability. My 3 litre Grand Cherokee was significantly more powerful and comfortable. The fact that a Fortuner is a big theft/hijack risk is also somewhat concerning

Please review VW polo 2017 - Present

Great review, unfortunately vehicles this size at this fuel prize, plus the purchase 😮prizes are a huge facet of affordability, but good review

D4D very good engineering. Mine has 455000km

Is there an used buyers guide episode on Kuga or Everest

Do GTI next

2.5 auto with black interior is the winner .

I just saw a 4liter v6 Fortuner with 200k kms on the clock, whats your takes on it.

WOW!! Never knew it was a 4-speed auto! Sheesh!!

On these cars you need an aftermarket suspension.

It is really a shame that the manufacturers listen to motoring journalists comments on interior colours. Black shows up dust and another colour is preferable in my opinion.

Go for a brand new Mahindra Scorpio N. Fantastic vehicle

Had a look at the Fortuner but settled on a 2013 Forester XT. It is my second Forester I find it just delivers better all round value for money for me and at 177KW and 350NM of torque it has Fortuner like performance but still pretty frugal at the pump and easy to get to the the claimed 8.5 l/100km.

@benvisagie8844

Though it is smaller by a big margin, I think the Forester is a very good vehicle who is giving far more driver satisfaction than a Fortuner.
