I'm in the process of narrowing down the choice of my next 4WD & the Fortuner & MU-X are two on my short list with the Fortuner so far looking like the favourite.
I'm a member of a 4WD Club in Brisbane so do quite a bit of off road driving & currently have a 76 Series Land Cruiser. This is a great car but a bit "agricultural" & I really don't need its off road ability for what I do so I'm looking for something a bit "softer" but still capable of tackling some moderately rough stuff.
The other requirement is towing ability. I have an off road camper trailer with an all up weight around 1.6 t & want a bit of feedback on how others have found the Fortuner for towing.
How does it perform with a weight on the back.
How does it go in winding hilly country.
What about head winds.
Economy.
What gear does it generally need to be in on the highway.
Any sagging of the rear of the Fortuner with the weight of the camper.
Any other comments
On a search I've seen a few general comments about towing in other topics but nothing specific so I hope some of you current owners can give me your feedback.
Thanks
