Not sure what's more impressive, the fact that you've had it for 6 years and only put 85k km on it, or the fact that you've had it for 6 years and it was never stolen.
These Toyotas have actually three settings: Power, Normal and Eco. When either Eco or Power is on and you press the button corresponding to the light indication on the dashboard, it goes into Normal mode with no light indication. Normal is somewhere between Eco and Power and better in city driving in my view.
I hear you on the 3rd row seats.. I just removed mine.. Take s 12 minutes. Will place it back the day I need it. but the space gain is incredible. I considered the 7 seater option and for us the 3rd row seats out makes more sense 99% of the time to have that additional space and less weight in the vehicle. Those seats are heavy... Lekker man Henk sorry to hear about the clutch, but luckily that is in the past now and I can see you enjoy your Fortuner a lot, I myself will not be doing too harsh offroading, we just want to go places where the 4x2 just just can not manage or just just manage where the 4x4 is going to laugh..
Does your steering wheel crack at the top as well? I have checked this at dealerships and even there I saw 2nd hand units with 40,000km and 2years age and they had cracks as well.. Was replaced under warranty but even that steering wheel cracked
I will never know now. Bought one of this brand and the worthless warranty hurt me badly. My uncle's Isuzu bakkie still runs; in 1987, it had 1.53 million km on it. Guess where my money's going.
They are great vehicles. Brilliant all-rounder.
Thanks, makes one understand why they sell that many of them (although the manual is a bit scarce…)

🤣 The low mileage is because it is not driven daily. The stolen part might also be due to that reason. Maybe because it is a manual as well.

@@FORTUNER_ADVENTURES my other problem is where to store them if I take them out…
@4WheelingSA we placed them in those vacuum plastic bags and store it is the roof of garage...
Enjoyable review, Henk. Keep the videos coming.
Thank you very much. Will try my best to keep it up.
06:30 Agree with that power door beeping...... Hate it
@@FORTUNER_ADVENTURES you can somehow disconnect it, but then you need to remove the plastic of the door to get to it.
@@4WheelingSA I will check..
Kwaai video Dankie
@@T23gunny Baie dankie

Was replaced under warranty but even that steering wheel cracked
@@FORTUNER_ADVENTURES No, my steering wheel is still fine after almost 7 years. But it does not stand in the sun during the day often.
@@4WheelingSA thanks
All new vehicles have this abudance of beeps.
True, but at least not at the tailgate… 🤣

I am sorry about the bad luck you had. I am sure you will be happy with the Isuzu.
