Since arriving in the country almost two decades ago, the Toyota Fortuner It has become one of the best-selling pickup trucks in Colombia. In fact, its second generation was launched in 2016 and hasn't gone out of style since. According to figures from LET'S WALK, have enrolled 2,714 units between January and October 2022, ranking in the Top 20 nationwide.
Basically there is no other seven-seat pickup truck that will be more successful than this robust offering from the Japanese manufacturer. Aside from this feature, another key factor in achieving such a high level of acceptance is the abundant variety of versions available at dealerships.
The spectrum is wide and includes basic configurations with gasoline engines of four-cylinder, 4×2 traction, up to the GR-S edition, prepared for the off-road. Not to mention the possibility of obtaining variants with luxury equipment and V6 gasoline engines or the powerful 2.8-liter turbodiesel.
That's why we decided to review all the current offers Toyota has available from the Fortuner in Colombia. We can basically summarize them in three equipment lines (SR, SRV and SRX), along with the GR-S sport edition.
Although this is the entry level to this family of pickup trucks, its equipment is far from basic. 17-inch wheels, LED headlights and brake lights with daytime running lights, 8" touch screen”, electrically adjustable front seats, seven airbags, ABS brakes with EBD and stability and traction controls, among other elements.
All engines come coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission. The naturally aspirated gasoline block is available four-cylinder, 2.7-liter engine (164 hp of power and 265 Nm of torque) or the more recommendable turbodiesel of four-cylinder, 2.4-liter engine (148 hp of power and 400 Nm of torque).
But the brand also offers the option of powerful 2.8-liter turbodiesel, which thanks to the intercooler and the VGT turbo delivers 201 hp of power and 500 Nm of torque. With his 4×2 rear-wheel drive They are ideal for use on asphalt, and also have power steering and disc brakes on all four wheels.
The intermediate version of Fortuner It is the one that offers the most options, since it can be combined with all the engines available in the SR, plus the Naturally aspirated V6 4.0-liter gasoline engine. Its 235 hp of power and 376 Nm of torque They are managed by the same six-speed automatic transmission, with two driving modes.
In addition, you can get the system of 4×4 Part Time traction, only available for the V6 and 2.8-liter turbodiesel. However, all configurations come with 18-inch wheels. ten-speaker JBL sound, dual air conditioning, Smart Entry system, leather upholstery and heated front seats.
The difference is made by the turbodiesel versions, which come equipped with the Toyota Safety Sense driver assistance systems. This includes a pre-collision system, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and cross traffic alert. In addition, cameras with 360° views.
The degree of maximum luxury of the Toyota Fortuner in Colombia it is the SRX edition, with a more sumptuous presentation and differences in some exterior lighting details. This variant is only offered with the 4.0-liter V6 engine or the 2.8-liter turbodiesel, both with automatic transmission and 4×4 drive.
Inside there are white stitching and other details that make it look more luxurious. However, that doesn't make it any less "trochera" (a kind of leather), as it retains the ground clearance of 27.9 centimeters from the rest of the versions. Also present is the A-TRAC active traction control and hill descent control.
Finally, the pinnacle of the local offering of these trucks is the sporty edition with a greater off-road focus. It is only available with the 2.8-liter turbodiesel engine, automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. It's easily recognized by its more aggressive front end, new grille, blacked-out wheels, two-tone paint finishes, and modified bumpers. It also features special emblems.
This is complemented by red stitching, gloss black trim and a numbered plaque on the centre console. While the 42 mm monotube shock absorbersA stiffer suspension and new front axle springs allow for improved control and greater stability on any surface. There are also other chassis changes to provide greater grip at all times.
With a varied offering of nine versions, Toyota offers in Colombia a Fortuner for all tastes. Remember that this robust pickup truck It is produced in Argentina and has a special guarantee of five years or 120,000 kilometersAnd it's currently one of the Japanese firm's three best-selling vehicles in the country, surpassed only by the successful Corolla Cross and Hilux.
