Said to be revealed before the end of July, the Fortuner will likely be made in Thailand and will retain the seven seater configuration if it does come to our shores.

 

blogentry-133713-0-94073900-1436590688_thumb.jpgWe expect it to share the same engine as the Hilux which also means that it should be getting a revised version of the 2.7-litre inline four that pushes out 166bhp and 245Nm of torque. The engine is said to feature Toyota's well-proven Dual VVT-i tech too.

It still have a crank mounted radiator fan! Toyota is still trying to force a crude ladder framed, pickup chassis truck to compete with the seriously refined and more powerful Korean offerings.

 

I want to see how a semi trail arm, live axle setup can compete with Hyundai/Kia car based 4 wheel independent setup

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
