Toyota has shown the all new Toyota Fortuna at the Global Launch in Sydney. Based on the Toyota Hilux, the Fortuna is the wagon version that has the same underpinnings, transmission, engine, driveline, four wheel drive and front end. However it will ride on five link coil rear suspension and has seven seats. Other than the external style, not much more was released at the Australian launch.
Here is an interview with David Brown of Driven Media and Rob Fraser of OzRoamer on the launch
Rob Fraser – General dogsbody & Director
Rob is the founder of the business. He constantly mutters something about way too many red wines one evening being to blame.
Often known for taking the 4WD in the driveway over the sports car, he has travelled pretty much everywhere in Australia and when he is bored goes for a drive.
He first learned to drive on the farm in a left hand drive WW11 Jeep when he was 11, and was hooked on 4WDriving way back then. In addition to 4WD he is an avid motoring enthusiast and has maintained a strong interest in the industry ever since his teens. He has owned way too many cars in his time as well.
Having previously lived at the top of corporate life he retired in 2000 and hasn’t put a suit and tie on since. Cars are his passion so why not have a business doing what you love he figures.
He has towed either a caravan or camper trailer to most parts of Australia, has run guided tours for camper trailers’ and instructed drivers in off road towing.
The Mitsubishi Challenger XLS will seat seven in relative comfort, will go anywhere off road you may wish to go, will tow the camper trailer or Jet Ski to that hidden spot. [Read More]
