Toyota Fortuner Crusade 4WD 2021 Review

Toyota Fortuner Crusade  – Toyota upgraded their mid-sized Fortuner late in 2020 with the engine we should have had all along. Fortuner has been a success for Toyota, based on the HiLux the 4WD wagon. The Crusade is aiming at buyers that want 4WD capability along with a higher level of luxury.

Fortuner now has 150kW of power and 500Nm of torque from its 2.8L engine and it really shows both on and off road as well as better fuel economy. It retains the selectable 4WD system as well as the 6 speed AT. Towing capacity is now 3100kg and comes with a standard rear diff lock.

The Crusade includes heated leather eight-way power adjustable front seats, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, front and rear climate control air-conditioning, LED fog lights, roof rails, leather look steering wheel and a premium 11-speaker JBL audio system.

I’ve driven the Fortuner on outback roads, on the beach, forest trails, heavy duty 4WD tracks, I’ve towed with it and driven it on freeways. It’s a great all round 4WD.

Fortuner Crusade is priced from around $61,410 plus the usual costs.
