Toyota Fortuner crossing a river – Off Roading

Here is the latest-generation Toyota Fortuner crossing the Sutlej river. The SUV is crossing the river very comfortably without any problem. Also, Toyota Fortuner offers a massive ground clearance of 220mm that takes care of the even surface like the river bed. The exhaust manifold of the Fortuner is positioned at a height. It ensures that the water does not enter the exhaust pipe easily and cause a shutdown. None of the wheels slip and get stuck because of the 4X4 system with Active Traction control. Also, the low-end punch helps the SUV to glide through easily.

Driving in deep snow – Off Roading

This is another video of the Toyota Fortuner going through several feet of unpaved snow. The video location is Chanshal Pass, Himachal Pradesh. It is one of the most isolated and challenges mountain passes in India. However, this Fortuner is using snow chains, which helps in increasing the traction of the vehicle. Apart from that, the Fortuner in 4X4 High mode can glide through such situation without breaking a sweat!

Driving in sand – Off Roading

Dune bashing is quite popular in the UAE and most of the enthusiasts use vehicles like Toyota Land Cruiser to enjoy the bashing. Well, this video also shows a Land Cruiser Prado leading the way for the Toyota Fortuner that goes through sand dunes without any problem. However, the driver has lowered the tyre pressure to get better traction and that’s the only change in the car. Dune bashing can be easily done in the 4H mode and the Low-ratio should be engaged only during extreme conditions.

Climbing hill – Off Roading Videos of Toyota Fortuner

This video shows Toyota Fortuner going through a hill climb and not stopping at anything. Since this is a difficult climb with a lot of rough patches and uneven surfaces, the low-ratio transfer case comes in handy. The SUV uses low-end punch to climb the steep incline. Also, the Fortuner offers Hill Assist Climb that ensures that the SUV does not roll back once the brake is engaged on the climb.

Here’s a video that shows a Toyota Fortuner easily climbing its way up a steep incline. 2nd Low can be used to climb up such challenging inclines. Also, the Fortuner comes equipped with Hill Assist Control. Switching it on prevents the SUV from rolling backwards. Of course, the grunty engine plays a huge role in helping the Fortuner climb up such steep inclines easily.

Climbing stairs may seem like an easy job for SUVs but there are a lot of technicalities involved. The Fortuner climbing the stairs prove that it offers short overhangs that do not interfere in the climb. The Fortuner goes up and down without its body touching any part of the stairs. It also shows that the SUV offers a good breakover angle!
