I hear you on the 3rd row seats.. I just removed mine.. Take s 12 minutes. Will place it back the day I need it. but the space gain is incredible. I considered the 7 seater option and for us the 3rd row seats out makes more sense 99% of the time to have that additional space and less weight in the vehicle. Those seats are heavy... Lekker man Henk sorry to hear about the clutch, but luckily that is in the past now and I can see you enjoy your Fortuner a lot, I myself will not be doing too harsh offroading, we just want to go places where the 4x2 just just can not manage or just just manage where the 4x4 is going to laugh..

@@FORTUNER_ADVENTURES Definitely do the exhaust before the remap. It takes heat (lower egt) away from the engine. Think around 10 kW and 20-30 NM. But I have not measured it. For me it is more about how it feels.

@@FORTUNER_ADVENTURES new ones are already very capable compared to the stock 2017 one, remapping the 2024s and pretending to be stock while you make some big dogs sweat on the highway is a completely funny feeling, what i like about 1GDs is that their pistons aren't a weak link like the 1KD i have, but then 1kds crack pistons even when stock so i may as well enjoy the few KW i gained which i am. I made a comment that i have a 3" exhaust (no cat), a custom Airbox and a 150KW/430NM (at the wheels) remap, after custom Airbox i can barely touch 450°C (post turbo) on inclines, the car has run very cold especially after custom Airbox.

This is a great video. Planning to start doing overlanding. How would you rate the A-TRAC system? Is it really needed for overlanding and occasional 4x4 trail? Reason I am asking, I can get a 2021 Fortuner 2.4 auto 4x4 for a bargain. But I believe they don't have the A-TRAC system. I want to keep this vehicle long term. Will I regret not having the 2.8 and A-TRAC. I won't be doing 4x4 trails or overlanding every weekend. It would be the occasional trip to Botswana and Nimibia. The 4x4 trails will be your normal trials. None of these obstacles you damage your vehicle. Also looking to do a 2inch lift and 265/70R17 tyres with a 4x4 bumper. Another thing, I am not planning on doing any towing. Your thoughts would be highly appreciated 🙏
@4WheelingSA Ай бұрын
Thank you very much. Appreciate the positive feedback. To answer your question, the A-Trac system is a very good system. Do you need it? Not really, I believe the model you are looking at getting will have a Difflock as well. Even without difflock you just need to adapt your driving style when driving offroad. So according to me it will not be a deal breaker. I have seen people go a long way without traction control or even a difflock. The 2.4 is a good engine, I know your at not planning on towing, but you will be able to anyway. I had a 2.4 Hilux and it was a good vehicle to drive (was a work vehicle I drove almost every day). For tyres have a look at the link in my video description, there is a code you can use for Maxxis tyres. Shout if you have any more questions.
