Toyota has been producing the Toyota Fortuner, sometimes referred to as the Toyota SW4, as a mid-size SUV since 2004. It is based on the Hilux pickup truck platform, with two or three rows of seats, and may be ordered with four wheels drive or rear wheel drive. It’s a part of the Hilux and Innova as well as Toyota’s IMV project for emerging countries.
The English word fortune is the source of the name Fortuner.[1]
Manufacturing
Although Thai and Japanese engineers created the first-generation Fortuner in Thailand, Toyota Australia, which also designed the second-generation model, designed the updated model in Australia together with the Hilux and Innova.[2]
Toyota provides the Hilux Surf in the medium body-on-frame SUV market.
Along with other utility vehicles including the Prado, Hilux, HiAce, and the 70 and 200 series Land Cruisers, the UN, governments, and organizations can purchase specialized versions of the vehicle with a naturally-aspirated 5L-E diesel engine.[3][4]
