Asked by Richard Ulrich
Do you prefer the Toyota Fortuner or the Prado, both with the 2.8-litre diesel, for driving around Australia, including going off road?
Answered by CarsGuide
31 Jan 2017That's a tough call. With its Hilux roots the Fortuner is a very competent off-roader, it has a separate chassis, switchable four-wheel drive, good ground clearance, a great diesel engine, and accommodates seven. The Prado's off-road credentials are well established, it's more refined, but it's heavier than the Fortuner, which weighs on its performance, and its towing rating is lower than the Fortuner's. Either one would do what you want, but I would slightly favour the Fortuner.
