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 really dig the facelifted Fortuner with the restyled front bumper. The 2.8L 1GD diesel with 500Nm has plenty of poke and will keep up with a 200 Series 1VD no worries.

OK that 'four tuna' gag literally made me laugh out loud. Also, your coffee is about the same size as the K-cup you put in a Keurig.

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.

Removed 3rd row seats as soon as picked my new 2022 up. Will never go back in. Went through replaced internal lightscand reverse with Stedi LED. 2022 has 80l tank and bigger mirrors for towing. 🎉🎉

I agree with comments from my fellow South Africans, owning them in some parts of South Africa isn’t wise given their value on the black market. Having said that everyone I know who owns one loves them. The lack of boot space was a deal breaker for me, I chose a Discovery 4 and also drive a Land Cruiser 105 which are both more practical for me as family and everything else cars

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.

Hi, thanks for the video. I am a late 2020 Fortuner owner from new, and I love it. We tow a caravan regularly and it has been absolutely fine. With the engine upgrade it has plenty of grunt, and is fine for city driving as well. I have travelled in some of my mates alternative 4x4s utes and wagons, and none of them strike me as any better. I also love the huge Toyota badge on the front!

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.

Biggest issue with all toyotas is rust. They are often scrapped before they reach their 12th birthday in the UK due to rust. Mechanically sound, but if the chassis rots, the rest of it is pretty worthless. If you can look after the chassis, the Hilux will do a million miles

In South Africa these vehicles are gold, especially considering our deteriorating road conditions where (and I'm not joking) the center of a town I recently transited almost required a 4x4 to get through the roads (near Sabi). I have personally driven about 300,000km in these vehicles and can vouch for their reliability and toughness. I even had one 4 wheels in the air when going down a dirt road where I didn't notice a hump in the road.... probably about 1.5 meters in the air and it came down heavy due to the nature of the road... I stopped and was expecting at a minimum for the exhaust to have broken its mounts and hanging loose... but nothing... drove away like nothing happened. Drove another 80,000km in that vehicle with zero problems... As mentioned here they are not luxury vehicles but they are tough as nails... if that's what you need, you can't go wrong
