New Fortuner - opinions
Hi There,
So I have decided on a new Fortuner 4 x 4 diesel. Now I am hearing negative feedback on it. Does anyone own one or know anything about it. Apparently it is not nearly as good as the old 3l Diesel?

Re: New Fortuner - opinions
Haven't heard anything negtive either.
If you lisen to critics you will never ever be able to buy any new car.
Somewhere , somebody has something negative to say about some new car.

If you hang around brand bashers, as said, there's always someone critisizing a winning formula.

Re: New Fortuner - spare tyre stolen
I Have just noticed that my spare wheel has been stolen off the new Fortuner - has this happened to anyone else? I am not in the habit of looking under my car all the time to see if my spare tyre is still there? Strange I know?

Re: New Fortuner - opinions
Always check when you return to your car, even at work (mine was stolen at work), never reverse into a parking, they use the cover of the other cars or fence or wall.

Re: New Fortuner - opinions
I am very sorry to hear about the spare wheel. The very first thing to do is to have a spare wheel lock installed. It is cheap compared to the cost of the tyre and rim.

Extra Fuel tank for Fortuner
Does anyone have any suggestions for an extra fuel tank for a Fortuner? I believe there is a 42 liter tank but that is not very big. But if you get a bigger one you have to change the spot for your spare wheel? Is this correct?
