G'Day mate, great choice. i am looking at this exact same spec and colour. Wondering what your fuel economy is so far? and is auto or manual?... also what did you pay so i have a good idea for my negotiations? thanks.-
Hello. Mine is a manual ( Auto old mans car ) lol. Current average full economy is around 8.7 per 100 that's just running everyday around town. Got a long trip coming up next month heading up past Proserpine. Will collect some data.
I paid around 58k all extras 12months rego, and a full tank of juice. Also delivered to my door. They are even coming to collect my car when accessories are to be fitted and deliver it back..
Where a bouts are you located.?
Good luck on doing a deal don't be scared to bleed what you can out of them. Have an idea what you want to pay and start there..
My first quote was 61k wow . Good luck let us know how you go.Last edited by Jncoxon27; 10-01-2016, 06:04 PM.

Genuine extras bullbar steel, side steps and side rails, and snorkel. Didn't end up getting a tow bar as wanted to wait to see if a rear protection bar comes available. Also the paint protection and interior protection car care package they call it. There is also a mob on eBay that do the dash mats and floor mats too.

Hi Jncoxon27,
Welcome to the forum, vehicle is looking good and I think you are the first on the website to get the side rails.
Enjoy your new vehicle and the forum!

Hi Shaun
Yea thanks is starting to take shape.
Have been in talks with ARB and have been told that the only accessories they are developing for the tuna is only bull bars and roof racks at this stage.? Don't know if anyone else has heard different.
The ARB sales person also told me to go onto the long ranger website and send emails in regards to long rang fuel tanks.
Was also told accessories are made depending on the demand. So let's flood these guys with emails to hopefully get some development...
Toyota has also released canvas and fabric seat covers However are around $650 bucksLast edited by Jncoxon27; 16-01-2016, 08:29 AM.

Hi Jncoxon27,
When speaking to their Product manager he was saying that ARB will be doing the full suite, obviously for now they are developing the basic bread and butter stuff, but suspensions and all kinds of things are in the pipeline. Have a look here on the forum to explain a bit more http://www.fortunerforum.com.au/foru...-for-backorder
I have also spoken to TJM and Ironman and they are also doing a full range of gear eventually too.
Hope that helps for now. I know the suspense is driving a few people bonkers!Fortuner Forum Default Signature!

So have just done a real shake down in the fortuner from Gladstone QLD to Nhulunbuy NT Arnhem Land. Best fuel economy I got was fuel light come on at 700kms.. And that was unsealed road conditions. Might I say the fortuner copped a beating hitting the bump stops a few times and some mean currigation. Must say am pretty impressed although car seats get a lil uncomfortable on a long drive.
All in all has held together and not had any issuesComment
