Toyota Fortuner 2021 review

[@Sunnychahal-bx4mj]

I proudly owned this insane machine since 2018. Fortuner forever

[@arvindmusical1965]

Don't know about rest of the world. But in my country ,India Toyota Fortuner is an status symbol for rich & wealthy peoples. This suv is famous between politicians here & spl. The white colour one. Toyota has record sale of this model in india. Anyways good video. Stay safe .

I actually like the sweeping line towards the rear end of the car. Great for off-roading and towing with its high ground clearance. I don’t mind the firm ride at all. Spacious, good looking, great engine, safety features, etc. This SUV can actually go real off road where others like Sorento can’t! They are called SUVs but their ground clearance is minimal. It’s a great allrounder. Not popular therefore you won’t see too many on the road ad nausea. With a bull bar and roof rack and tow bar it becomes a great touring vehicle!

[@amrashraf9559]

The Fortuner has always been a great car, i just don't understand how you guys keep complaining about the 3rd row Seats... I just removed mine completely, then they aren't in the way and you almost never need them in any case. Its a really good vehicle for touring. I try to take mine out every weekend when i can! :)

[@tonymillar5342]

Agree. I took the 3rd row seats out of my 2001 Prado 3 years ago to cart a big boxy load. They haven't been back. Saves 40kg and better visibility. Of course, will have to put them back in when I ever sell it to be compliant.

[@vonduwidow7115]

WRONG!!! prado and lc200 are both LADDER CHASIS too, and they are NOT stiff! the fortuner counterparts have made their way to have better suspension but STILL LADDER FRAME especially pajero sport! just accept the fact that fortuner has the least love from toyota (decades have past and they still havent improved the suspension for the love of gods)

With No MUX and Pajero sport available in my country (Pakistan) Fortuner is definitely the sole player in the market and it does exceptionally well here. So much so that slightly used cars are sold at a higher than brand new car’s price because there is months of waiting on new ones ! The top spec fortuner is 15000 USD more then the top spec Hilux.

[@peterbray3933]

Before I would consider the Fortuner I need to know if Toyota has properly sorted out the DPF problem which has plagued their diesels for years.I have read that the Pajero Sport diesel has no such problem so no matter how good Fortuner may be in other respects,Pajero Sport is at the top of my list,until such time it is clear that Toyota has resolved the DPF issue.I have read a lot about it recently and I remain unconvinced that it has been.I hope someone can persuade me differently.

[@johntheaccountant5594]

I live in Thailand where the Toyota Hilux and Toyota Fortuner are manufactured for the Australian market. I only need 4 seats; maybe 5 seats so 7 seats is not necessary. There is a massive difference in priice between the Hilux and Fortuner so it makes sense to buy the Hilux and keep luggage in plastic boxes or even a caddy for carrying things.

[@dardoukLYS]

No petrol 4L V6 in Australia? What a shame! It suits really well the Fortuner.

[@peterkamau5354]

The only downside to a Fortuner is the rear extra seats, and the rigid suspension. I would pick it any day over any other toyota out there. A tough, nice, reliable SUV. I rate it 90/10

[@jasenanderson8534]

Of course it isn't as smooth, is a ute frame. It's mean to be tougher. I looked at this and other similar SUVs and several utes and settled on the Hilux which has better room. I'm also tall and love the ride position and steering.

The Fortuner looks better and more powerful now compared to the pre-updated model. Luckily it didn't recieved a sunroof as it would increase the weight of the vehicle and considering it is a heavy vehicle.

[@JOlsson01]

It's not the ladder frame chassis that makes the ride stiff over bumps.

[@jessef9190]

Adding a quality suspension lift can usually make it ride much better than factory

[@TORTLESSS]

definitely, there's some 600-800$ suspension upgrades in my country that make the fortuner ride softly, although at the expense of cornering speed since its gonna be wallowy

Actually the side view of the rear ⅓ of the car looks the best part of it. But yeah those fold up 3rd row Toyota seats - awful. And did you say the GX Doesn’t have climate control?? What? Unhelpful if you want a petrol engine. So many manufacturers are only offering diesel. Should always be at least 1 diesel and 1 petrol option in vehicles like this. But can you drive it all day on all terrain in 4WD like the Pajero Sport or a Land Rover??”

[@geoffpower59]

Agree, the rear 1/3 of the Pajero Sport is way uglier

[@Boots3962]

I've heard they come out 40-42 psi in the tyres out of factory which is very high, drop it to 32-34 psi and have far better ride comfort

[@genejohnson5530]

Tossing up between a Fortuner and Prado. Hopefully the Tuner is a good tow vehicle as I will be towing a mid size caravan on the big lap. I am leaning towards the Tuner as it seems to be more of a tuff vehicle than the prado and much less price. Plenty of time as I need to order and wait wait wait for delivery.

Tight race between this and Pajero Sport. We need these for space for beach and kayak gear more than off-road and don’t like the utes for their tighter rear seats and constrained cabin space. Much closer comparison to a PS now that the Fortuner has Apple car play. I like the additional power, but where is the hybrid? Sliding rear seat are great too.
