In this second episode of our new Buyer's Guide series, we tackled one of the most popular cars on our roads, the Toyota Fortuner.
View all of the Fortuner stock on our site here:
www.cars.co.za/usedcars/?make...[Fortuner]&sort=date_d&P=1
Since it's debut in 2005, the Fortuner has sold in incredibly strong numbers, finding homes across the country. And that means that there is a plethora of second hand cars to choose from, with nearly 1600 available on Cars.co.za right now.
In this video we take a detailed look at the first generation Toyota Fortuner, which was on the market for a solid decade! We're talking about model years 2006 to 2016.
We cover in great detail the range of variants which were available during that 10 year period, common problems, current used car pricing and our pick of the range.
Are you in the market for a used Toyota Fortuner? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

  • Common issue: they steal them, full stop.

    • I would be interested to find out the actual stats on theft. They are quite popular and Toyota sells thousands in a year. So the only way of determining if they are more likely to be stolen than other vehicles is if it were possible to get the percentage of cars on the road that are stolen. Having said that, it seems that the thieves have an eye for a quality product I don't own one, if anyone is wondering.

    • They're really nice for the time the buyer gets to borrow them. In JHB they'd literally follow you home - it's not just opportunistic car thieves, there are syndicates with quotas to hit on Fortuner/Hilux. They also really like stealing the spare wheel...

  • My dad bought this car in 2013, a Black one with all the features. It is now around 600 000Km and still runs like a new car, this is an amazing car, it is a D4D. The issues it had were just the Clutch which happened around 500,000 km, and some oil issues, It is serviced almost every month just to mention that.

  • Great addition to the channel this series! A fantastic "all rounder"......UNDISPUTED at that, but the "risk attached" ownership experience has always been too off-putting IMHO.

  • I sold my 2010 Fortuner (upgrade, but not facelift yet - bigger rims/tyres and stability added) with 439 000 km on the clock and it was still 100%,i`m sure it could easily do another 400 000km! Now i have a Hilux 3.0D4d 4x4 with 135 000 km and it will never be sold! IMHO, most of the roll-over of the early version were caused by people towing too heavy caravans/trailers and add to that incorrect tyre pressures.

    • We still have the first generation 2006 3.0D4D over 300k and counting only replaced the injectors wasn’t urgent but still so lively and solid. The “rolling” issue was rear shocks they were single action shocks not dual Toyota would not declare this just replace with Monroe’s. Will never sell it, nice to keep around.

It is my second Forester I find it just delivers better all round value for money for me and at 177KW and 350NM of torque it has Fortuner like performance but still pretty frugal at the pump and easy to get to the the claimed 8.5 l/100km.
