Sad but true and I think we've seen the last of that in all vehicles...

The front can be improved with a custom BB, but that ugly hump in the rear is there to stay.
Not nice, Toyota!

Must add, don't like the seat covers, seems a bit loose.

Must admit I do like the interior, seems to be very well finished off inside.
Ek like - ek sal 'n 4x4 vir my koop en 4x2 vir SWAMBO

Must admit it looked quite sexy there, but still think Toyota has overdone it with that rear hump.

I agree with the hump... it looks SOOOOO SsangYong...
The bling is also a little too much for my liking, but I suppose there will be some changes to that as this Fortuner was released in Asia, and they smaak bling..
They did get the interior right, much better than the new Hilux with the "aftermarket" tablet stuck on with ticky-tack..
Anyway.. all in all not too bad.. it could have ended up looking like a Nissan Juke...

The Fortuner should land in Zimbabwe within the next month. Inside is amazing. Outside requires a bit more beers to get used to. But as always they will sell. Time it arrives will give live pictures and reviews.

whoa.. the new Everest may still be the one to beat i.t.o. exterior styling.. but the interior is way posh!
Looks like the tried to copy the LR Evoque on the outside and in.
Are we getting it in a 5.7 V8? Dit sou nou KWAAI lekker gewees het ne!!!!!
I don't think the after market BB will be any good.
Have a close look at the line of the bumper and where the silver on the grill comes down the side.
The only way to fit an after market to the will be a bumper cut and I personally think it will look worse than it does now....
It looks more like a lexus than a fortuna
Yep, will be a problem for manufacturers of BBs. But must admit I'm slowly getting used to its shape.
See what the Canadian 4Runner/ Surf has been looking like since about 2010
Now that I like! :)
It simply looks tough.

Firstly, remember how we all thought the first "Vigos" looked terrible- "Eew, thos skinny little wheels under such a big bakkie" and "Daai vieslike klein agter ruit" or "Those back lights and the bare tailgate just look ugly and American". We will get used to it and it will grow on us.
Secondly, I understand the Fortuner will NOT be permanent 4wd anymore and will take on the pick-ups drivetrain being part time
+ 1 on the 4Runner looks much better, why won't Toyota SA bring it here?
I've been following these guys since they started, in their last season they took 2 4runners and a Tacoma (also a proper Toyota from the States) all the way down Central America.

Persoonlik like ek die nuwe tuna meer as die ou een, toyota het vir n slag bietjie drastiese veranderinge gemaak, maar daai 4runner's bly maar baie mooier!
So genoem van die nuwe Everest, weet iemand wat hy kos, ek het gehoor hulle vra amper n nuwe prado se prys vir hom!?!
So have had an up close look at the new Fortuner at their local Toy dealer ?
Not to heavy on the eyes ...
LOTs of older Fortuner drivers popping in at the local Toy dealer .... seeing BIG smiles on their faces ....
THYS - wanneer gaan toets julle een ?

Dink dis so R600 000 of bietjie meer.
Daar het n Everest uitgebrand in Aus terwyl n joernalis besig was om hom te toets, Ford het toe agter gekom dat daar n ontwerp fout is op een of ander elektriese draad/komponent of ding.
Daar is n clip op Youtube, as ek hom kan kry sal ek hom op sit.
Hier is 'n video daaroor... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHlwCFNCTDU" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
R635k to R700k .... vir daai everest - http://www.ford.co.za/suvs/all-new-everest" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Ek het gehoor van die Everest wat gebrand het. Het toe bietjie die storie op aussie media gevolg....daar is al glo ook n paar rangers wat dieselfde oorgekom het, maar nooit so in die spotlight was nie, so ford het nooit iets daar omtrent gedoen nie. Hopelik na die insident het die ouens van ford bietjie gaan herontwerp
Fortuner sal maar altyd die beste waarde vir geld wees, en ek twyfel of die everest lank die mark sal he. Ek is net nie mal oor die kleur skema van die tuna se interior nie, maar die uitleg is vir my amper mooier as die nuwe hilux sin.

Vian ek sien gister die nuwe Xtra-cab in SA het nou ook die ekstra deur - soos die Fords ...
maar toe maak hulle klaar met die RAV en ek het nie tyd gehad om te kyk hoe die deure werk nie ...
Fri Apr 15, 2016 2:06 pm
Chris ek het bietjie hier in pretoria na hom gaan kyk. Die een ou by Hatfield ry een as n demo. Baie mooi bakkie, die deure is presies soos die ford sin (ek het die vorige model ford 3.0 tdci gery voor die hilux) mens raak gou gewoond aan die feit dat hy nie deure agter het nie, maar dit bly baie gemakliker met hulle. Al groot verskil is dat hy nie dieselfde klimaat beheer stelsel het soos in die dc bakkies nie, maar dit was al so op die vorige model.
Die Ford kan jy bestel met sitplekke en gordels agter in die X-cab.
Wonder of Toyota die opsie gaan bied.
JA, sal sekerlik nie gemaklik wees vir n lang trip nie. Maar meer as voldoende as slegs nnou en dan n 3de persoon saam ry.

Have a Hilux DC d4d 4x4 2007 currently and have ordered the new 2.8 fortuner, but not sure if ive made the right decision by going 4x2 as i have only used the 4x4 twice in 9 years!
Sun Jul 31, 2016 1:08 pm
Is daar enigiemand op die forum wat 'n nuwe Fortuner 2.8 of V6 (otomaties) besit wat 'n ingeligte mening oor die voertuig kan gee?
Mon Aug 01, 2016 1:02 pm
Is daar in hierdie tye nog mense wat geld het? Wel ek het nie, of sonder werk of 50% salaris. Maar nie te min, het laasweek na een geloer op die vloer toe ek my 2010 Fortuner vir sy 90k km diens gevat het. Ek was bietje teleurgesteld weens die feit dat die 3de ry sitplekke nog presies net so onprakties is op die nuwe as die ou, so dit sal ook onmiddelik weer uit. 'n Vriend van my het een gekoop en hy sê die ding loop soos 'n buffel op gallop. Ek dink die nm is op van 343 na 450nm of so iets.
