Quite impressive times for a big heavy 2ton pickup for this output, 9sec to 100km/h is not blistering but quite acceptable and seems alot quicker than the Ford Raptor 3,2D and Isuzu D-Max which both are at least 2sec slower to 100km/h. The only pickup that beats this is the VW Amarok V6 diesels and the Mercedes X350d.

The exterior styling updates look good, I like the new head light graphics when having the LED lights. New grill also looks great. The interior is a disappointment, it still looks pretty basic and the interior materials just hard and shiny black piano plastic. The infotainment system looks like a noticeable improvement but it still looks a bit ancient in appearance but then this is a workhorse pickup so you cant expect luxury features like a car.

His comments are similar to what i have experienced. The hard ride is probably the only major weakness in the Fortuner overall package. Other negatives are the in the cabin, there are hard plastics used for the dash top and door tops and the rear seats are not exactly soft and comfortable for rear passengers. The extra 2 seats in the luggage area eat up alot of useful luggage space. Off road it is pretty capable but again the stiff ride makes it bouncy and also can shift your head uncomfortably from side to side over uneven terrain. I prefer the pre FL front styling, I'm not liking the extra silver trim strip from the bumper going into the front lights on the FL. I had the V6 VXR trim which had reasonable specs, but it looks one of the major annoying things (infotainment screen) in the current version has been majorly improved in the FL. Overall still a good UTE SUV.
 
The 9.8 second time from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) may not sound very quick when compared to an average AWD Euro crossover. But the Fortuner is a 7-seater body on frame SUV with 4WD, locking diff, transfer case and with a power to weight ratio of over 10 kilograms (22 pounds) per horsepower, so the performance is really not bad when you take all that in consideration. Besides, it's a major improvement the pre-FL model that needed almost 12 seconds to hit 100 km/h.
