2014 Toyota Forerunner

[scarpsD40]

Have seen a few of these driving around Bali. Not a bad looking unit. Not sure if they're destined for Australia. Badge on the side was D4-D engine.  Look like a smaller version of a 200.

I'm guessing it would take a fair portion of sales away from the Kluger and the Prado??   But I did read somewhere that Toyota were planning on bringing it in to Oz in 2015.   Bit of speculation?   But they do look pretty good hey.

I reckon it looks half jeep half pajero.

Toyota would probably aim to bring this in at the Prado price point and then push the Prado price up
Given the popularity of Prado they will probably get away with it.

I believe that is a pic of an American 4 Runner, completely different car to the Fortuner. Fortuner is based on the ute, like Mux/7/Pathfinder, I believe the 4 Runner is same running gear as an FJ Cruiser, 4l petrol only, wagon based.

From what I read in 4x4 Aust it will sell between the top of line Rav and bottom Prado. It's based on the Hilux. I've heard the FJs will be dropped soon as they have in the states.

Proudy has the good mail, the FJ is done and the Venturer (4runner) is coming late 2015. It is based on the Hilux platform, the new model though so not the same as the one pictured above. Another offering in the 4wd market can't hurt if it gets more people out and about, Hilux capability in a wagon could be good.

I think the Everest will kill all the other offerings........the only thing they could do better would be a V8 diesel !!

You're not looking around already

nope, it's just the first Toyo that's caught my eye in a while outside of the good ol'80

[scarpsD40]

yep speedcomm, this is the one I'm seeing here in the Toyo caryards.  On closer inspection, they are known here as a Fortuner. 

Having said that, there's heaps of Mitsi Challengers here with Pajero badges?

In Kota Kinabalu at the moment and went to hire a Fortuner, booked out and got stuck with a Challenger (Pajero Sport) no Fortuner or our 150 Prado but not bad for a daily driver, had a bit of fun in it as well - heaps of Malaysian Rainforest trucks and tracks here, so tempted!

Couple of pics of my girls with it, much easier to drive here than in Thailand!
