The Tony Greig of 4WDs ?? Enjoyed your review . . I have the 2015 GLX and we Love it. . . Took the 3rd row out for drawers & fridge. . Works great. . Just dont sell off your 3rd row , you will need them if you ever re-sell. .
Why is there such a great delay in supply to the Namibian Market? Is it all attributed to COVID? Is the demand exceeding production capacity? We're struggling to even get a forecast on the backlogged orders. Not even a tentative Indication of supply dates?
I think this vehicle is overated compared with the competition. Everest, Pajero sport and Mux are definitely better buys in this segment. Test drive them all before choosing the fortuner. I didn't choose it because: 1. 3rd row of seats hang on the sides when not needed, that's not very neat and it affects visibility. 2. The suspension is a bit stiff compared with the more comfortable ride from the competition. 3. 4x4 capability can only be selected on loose surfaces so you can't select 4x4 all the time unlike with the Everest and the Pajero sport. 4. In south africa this vehicle is the number 1 targeted suv for hijacking.
ride comfort not good.. you'll need to change the suspension. 3rd row seats pops sideways unlike its competitors which folds down giving a huge cargo space. no grab handles on mid row, so your passengers will hold on to your "head rest" which will make it wobbly in the future. but yeah its Toyota and it's the best selling SUV in the Philippines since it launch way back 2005 and it has already sold 220,000+ units eversince in the Philippines.
This is a part time 4x4, you cannot use 4x4 on anything hard only 2 wheel drive which is where the Prado leaves this car for dead as far as constant 4 wheel drive plus the Fortuner really is uncomfortable you will feel every bump in this cruiser……it needs air suspension plus if you are on the larger side of life you will feel closed in, definitely made for skinny people……🤔
