Amazing Beast... Owning it is a pride..

Have been owning this amazing beast sine Jul 2018. I must admit that it has earned me great image and respect among the circles. A wonderful machine that I have owned in ages... Always upto the expectations,... Never complained... I am running 113K Kms on my odometer,, but the performance is still the same as day one. Just to let others know,, I haven't changed my tyers yet.... Still having another 30% of tyre life left...

Must Read my experience

We used nearly 6-7 years after that again we purchased the same Toyota Fortuner... Amazing car with premium feel and comfort. Comfortably 8 family members can seat. We travel a lot around India like Ladakh, Gujarat, Rajasthan and we never faced any problem.

Nice interior

Amazing driving experience. Nice interior. No noise... Uplifted dashboard.., nice music system. Amazing infotainment.....superlative grip on the road..... No jerk.. comfortable....,...
