Toyota Fortuner

[Mr.Espinoza ♔♔♔]

 

 

The Toyota Fortuner or Toyota Hilux SW4 is a medium utility sports vehicle based on the Toyota Hilux, produced by the Japanese vehicle manufacturer Toyota. They were originally assembled only in Thailand, and later in Venezuela, Argentina and Indonesia and in other countries. It has three rows of seats and is available in two versions 4 × 2 of 2350 kg and 4 × 4 of 2450 kg, joints of 158 horsepower. The Fortuner is part of Toyota's IMV project in Thailand, which also includes the Toyota Hilux and the Toyota Innova.

This car was the best selling in its category (SUV / PPV) in the Philippines and Thailand today.

The Fortuner is not available in Japan, Europe and North America, as the Toyota Hilux Surf is mainly sold in Japan and the Toyota 4Runner sold in some European markets and in North America.

The Fortuner is a project for emerging markets based on the IMV platform of the Toyota Hilux pick-up truck, simplifying the interchangeability of parts in addition to greater robustness. The Fortuner unlike the Hilux is that the rear axle has no leaf spring but helical springs that give it a much smoother ride. Another difference is the traction, since the Fortuner in almost all its versions has 4x4 traction all the time with central differential, except in the Urban version that is rear 4x2 traction like the Hilux.
