Forget the tired excuses and winter laziness holding you back – we’ve got the solution.
Here’s why the Toyota Fortuner should be your new training and adventure partner.
The Fortuner has a powerful pedigree. It’s
been the bestselling medium-sized SUV
in South Africa for a very long time, and
for good reason: you could argue that
as a four-wheeled investment, it offers
the most practicality and value on South
African roads. It’s hard to find a tar and
trail partner that offers as much bang for
your buck. Here are four reasons it should
be your next lifestyle investment (with
training benefits):- IT CAN CARRY ALL THE GEAR
(AND PEOPLE) YOU NEED.
Want to be able to ferry your kids or friends
around safely, and make sure you have
enough space for all your lifestyle gear, like
mountain bikes, kayaks and road bikes?
Sorted – the Fortuner has plenty of interior
space, and a decent-sized boot area. It’s a
seven-seater car, but that optional third line
of seats stows away easily for even more
room. The newer 2.4 GD-6 model now comes
with side and curtain airbags, which brings
the total airbag count to seven. It also has all
those special safety abbreviations, including
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction
Control (TRC), Trailer Sway Control (TSC),
Downhill-Assist Control (DAC), and Hill-start
Assist Control (HAC). Bottom line: it will easily
carry anything you need for your training,
whether it’s a gym bag or the latest mountain
bike with 29-inch wheels; and it’ll do double
duty on family time.- WANT TO TAKE YOUR TRAINING
OFF-ROAD? IT’S GOT YOU COVERED.
If you’re planning on escaping the busy gyms
and dumbbell queues for some fresh-air fitness,
whether it’s MTB, trail-running, or obstacle
races, that’s where the Fortuner excels. It
has high ride height and ground clearance
(279mm), and cleverly crafted suspension so
you cover jeep track and off-road routes with
ease, especially considering this 2.4 GD-6 4x
comes with a simple,
easy-to-use off-road rotary dial with 2H, 4H
and 4L options that you can select on the fly.
Nowhere is off limits now – consider the great
outdoors your new fitness playground.- IT MAKES EARLY-MORNING
TRAINING SESSIONS EASIER.
Yes, it’s dark; and yes, it’s probably a little cold
- but the Fortuner makes things a helluva
lot easier for you to get going by providing
keyless access, push-button start, and a slick
automatic gearbox to do all the shifting for
you – and most importantly, it’s easy to turn
the heat up to warm up the interior. The most
