Yes it's due to how high it goes up my one was fitted with a carry boy electric one ok for normal use but if you wanted to carry anything high M/C large chiller box for EG, you were buggered unless you took the lid off not hard a few bolts and unplug the electric. It's just that it was bloody heavy. And needed at least 3 peeps to do same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well with a lid you could not carry a fridge standing upright, but then you cannot do that in a tuna either. easy to unbolt a lid than cut the roof off ya tuna !! Good to see you agree carrying capacity is not diminished after all !! Edited March 5, 2017 by Don Mega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Vigo G 4x4 auto trans has the same sound insulation as a Fortuner............. The Vigo can carry a load of 750kg as well as the passengers..... Anything else....?

Good to see you agree carrying capacity is not diminished after all !! I was referring to goodies that can be carried not the overall weight. Like the Vigo I always got things delivered. One of the reasons I changed always had an estate lump with the back seats removed that now what I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 2016 Fortuner 4x4 and experienced "no- shift" of the auto twice: The gearbox just stays in a given gear say 4 and despite accelerating does not upshift to any higher gear, the up/down paddles do not work at that time. My solution: Stop, switch off, start again - no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 The worse brakes I ever encountered were on my beloved Transam......They were frightening....And fixing it was a real headache.....To be honest I didn't really fix it, about another 500 quid would have....But....
