1.Fresh-faced Fortuner a force to be reckoned with

Back in 2016 when the new-look Fortuner launched, I had the pleasure of driving it to Stanford in the Overberg, on tar, dirt and gravel:

"The new diesel engine is not remarkably quiet, but it’s less gruff than the previous. Toyota have addressed noise, vibration and harshness issues, and the cabin is markedly quieter for all their trouble. The 2.8-litre turbodiesel engine is perfectly matched to a car this size, offering a good balance of fuel economy and grunt." Click to read the full review.

2. Toyota Fortuner vs. Mitsubishi Pajero Sport & Ford Everest

Can't decide between SA's leading SUVs? Then you should take a look at this comparison:

This tendency only came to an end when Ford finally launched a properly-developed Everest, and with some niche competitors now also muscling in on its territory, the Fortuner is facing challengers on all sides", writes Martin Pretorius.
