Pointless marketing by Isuzu SA, these "Arctic Trucks" are very expensive for some wheel arch trims and a suspension lift with oversized wheels.
They are wide, they have a terrible turning circle and with that lift, battle to fit in some standard-ish garages.
Lets not start on the fuel consumption...

Fit a Rear Difflock to that MUX, and you’ll have really good value for money. Life is to short to be driving a Fortuner

Do they still use fake wood in the fascia of the Fortuner?

Exactly.
Then why bother with fake wood in sub-bar vehicles?

It’s more eco friendly. The bunny huggers, like Apoc, approve

I almost bought one of these; it was an absolute beast at Brakkeduine in 4H. Luckily my emotions was subdued by common sense. Debt at my age is a big no-no.
