The Fortuner has been sold here I guess since 2007. It sucks.

It is based on the Toyota IMV platform that consisted of the Hilux, Innova and Fortuner.

Unfortunately, the Fortuner was not endowed with a smooth ride.

The Hyundai Santa Fe and Mitsubishi Montero Sport will tear the Fortuner to pieces, I swear.

The Nissan X-Trail is my favorite SUV in the 40k range. Waiting to check the 2012 model of X-Trail.

Why the X Trail? They aren't that great when the going gets tough, but to be fair they are reliable and have brilliant seats.

YES!I agree this :"It is based on the Toyota IMV platform that consisted of the Hilux, Innova and Fortuner.

I just got back from Mexico where I was surrounded by tons of Hilux trucks. Then I go back to the states having fantasy's of driving a diesel Hilux and flipping off the EPA.
