Really needed this.
After a long time taking glanza out on a long drive, Total Trip ~ 400kms, 6hrs drive time, 19km/l mileage

Really needed this escape, total trip ~ 400kms, 6hrs drive time, 19km/l mileage

upgraded from the stock 16inch rims with apollo tyres to 17inch rims with 215/45/r17 yokohama s drive

Earlier was running 16 inch rims with stock Apollo tyres, upgraded to 17 inch rims with 215/45/r17 Yokohama S drive

I recently took my fortuner on a 4200km road trip, Bangalore - Hyd - Nagpur - Prayagraj - Ayodhya - Banaras - Sanjay Dubri - Badhavgarh and back to Bangalore

It was a 7 day trip and I have to say it is nothing like any of the other cars on the market.
People often call this overpriced and yes some models of this car definitely are, but I really got my money’s worth with this car and I couldn’t be happier.
The longest we drove in one single day was 1550kms - Badhavgarh to Bangalore which took us 21hrs
The car was running strong the whole trip.
I got a overall mileage of 11.4km/l which is pretty respectable for the size and the engine.

Pros - 1) Amazing high speed stability, even on the corners you can maintain triple digits speeds with ease
2) Peace of mind of a toyota, no reliability issues
3) Instant pickup in sports mode makes overtaking a breeze
4) Takes up the big potholes and sudden speed breakers very easily

Cons - 1) Very uncomfortable to drive on bouncy/bumpy roads, like on the cement roads on Uttar Pradesh it was a bit irritating since every undulation on the road was felt in the cabin.
2) Audio system could be better
3) Tyre sound creeps into the cabin on cement roads
4) I found the seats to be a bit on the softer side - it did cause some body pain for me towards the end of the trip.

Overall the perfect car for a roadtrip but definitely not worth buying a fortuner if you’re gonna just drive it in the city, this car is meant for the long highway drives
