IMO Fortuner looks good, especially in black. Tapos palitan ng Bling Bling... Ouch!!! Pimp my Ride!!! hehehe

fortuner is not a full time 4wd, there is a shift stick located in front of the gear box

the only problem with the fortuner is that is almost has the same interior / chassis / suspension as the innova (and it costs twice as the base innova). makes you wonder where your money went...

don't forget the adventure master which is a dmax derivative from isuzu... also coming soon...

I never even bothered to see if they look alike or even have similar dimensions interiorly not until Mazdamazda mentioned it. If you check these pictures above, although fortuner and HILUX, but look at the similarities(although not exactly the same). The center console, steering wheel, the gauge design, you can even say the entire dashboard..He he he..This probably made it easier for them to design and save from producing different parts which actually make sense.
