I've had one since 2016. Had a few issues with the DPF at 70,000 kms. initially but got fixed with a new DPF and an upgraded software. Since then my family has done 350,000 kms in it. It's been to the snow, the mountains, crossed rivers, done a lot of beach driving, freeway, offroading on its stock form. So far I've only changed tyres, oil, filters, and brake pads. That's it. I tried to trade it in with a Prado last June but after testing the 2021 Prado, I didn't think the Prado was an upgrade. I thought the prado was heavy and underpowered (they have exactly the same engine). I never felt so happy going back to the Fortuner. I hope this helps.

I have almost write off the Everest because of it, I’m ok going to dealers for regular service - which notably is more regular with a Fortuner - but I don’t need all the issues.

My son and I tested the interior of all the 7 seat ute-based off-roaders. We were especially interested in the 3rd row (which is almost the entire point of buying one!!!). What we found was the Toyota was the worst. The most important thing for comfort is some height between the seat base and the floor. If it's almost flush there is no way to actually sit on the seat. Your thighs make a steep angle up. Only the Ford and Isuzu were somewhat comfortable. This also includes the Holden by default, but that's no longer in production. I also didn't like the price or DPF issues from Toyota. The Ford was mostly fine. But too expensive and requires ad-blue. This is a hidden extra fuel cost. We finally opted for the Isuzu MU-X as it ticked all the boxes (quality, reliability, price, comfort, resale value). That was 2 years ago and no regrets. Love it.

I have a 2010 model fortuner, and the improvements when they launched the new one at 2016 weren't all that significant (even local reviewers in my country agree with this)

But after the pain inflicted by the Everest, I went for the safety of the Toyota brand. With 95k on the clock now, I have grown to respect it and appreciate the security of reliability. It is very good offroad (except for the limited rear locker activation that you mention) and I have set it up for towing and offroad touring.

I personally have a 2010 Toyota Fortuner. Love it; it is still running as if it's brand new, as expected from Toyota

For a vehicle that size and being families that would buy it, it really needs a front and 360 degree camera

I nearly bought a full set of interior woodgrain inserts for my 2010 Audi A3 and the only reason I didn't is because I like piano black more!

i like for being 2WD all the time and 4WD when we see fit. saves fuel and wear of parts. but probably not for someone who likes outsourcing the 4WD mode to engineers.

Just purchased a Crusade model. I think bang for buck, it's definitely up there in terms of value, not something you normally get with Toyota products. Definitely a vehicle that slots in between the Kluger (which I know is not a serious off roader) and a Prado wagon. I found the engine is quite punchy for a medium large capacity 4 cylinder Diesel, and well matched to the 6 speed Aisin transmission putting the power to the wheels very well without to much loss. Time will tell with reliability, but I'm confident with Toyota's near perfect record that it should be ok. I do wished that the GR Sport model which is currently only sold in Thailand was available here in Australia with the more powerful 165kw 550NM version of the 2.8 litre engine. Probably not enough volume of Fortune's being sold here at present. I would guess in the not distant future a Hybrid version may also come out.

I've run a forty since they launched in Aus in 2015. After 150,000km including Fraser Island, Simpson Desert and annual trips up into the high country there are a couple of points that I think are worth considering. It's not too comfy, especially compared to a Prado. Ride comfort was much better after the usual off-road mods. (bullbar, 2inch lift and rear seat row delete/storage drawers install) You will spend more setting up the Prado for off-road work than the Forty, but the Prado is a better albeit pricier option for on road comfort. The one to get is the GX. There is just not the difference between the trim levels to justify the cost. DPF is still an unknown quantity. I'd buy another one tomorrow, but I think this one will look after my needs for a while yet!

I found your review negative from the start, which was disappointing. Also if you’ve never seen third row seats like that you must’ve been born yesterday. Overall very negative vibe from your review. You recommend the Ford Everest yet the Ford Ranger derived vehicles have many reliability issues which should be taken into account. Just want to point out I don’t own a Fortuner, just my view on your review.

Its exterior front and rear design is vastly improved from the previous model, but I'm still not a fan of the bottom of the "C" pillar kick up design.

But won’t last long. It always breaks down and needs repairs…. It’s a low quality car that’s why they need to make it pretty.

Fortuner is an overpriced crap. My dad owns it and very happy with his car. But yeah, in my opinion, the car interior is not well built, with overwhelming amount of low quality plastics and bad faux leather.

Here in the middle east you can a v6 4.0 which produces about 35 more hp and quite more torque than the fortuner that is used in the video. It also has premium leather

A lot of people remove the back seat anyway and fit them out for touring. Isn’t the emblem like that as it’s a sensor?
