They were also crap handling wise a real bugger at high speed or any speed come to that. Not forgetting that they had at best crap brakes. All was changed later to coil all round a bigger servo with upgraded discs calipers & rear drums. I think that was done in 2007. But I could be wrong on the date.

Jitar Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 The earlier Sport Rider had rear leaf springs. The fortuner did start with crap brakes but the rear coil springs were on the early models as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the jungle Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I think I am right in saying that the Tuna has a five link rear axle so it is slightly less rubbish than the normal pickup arrangement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
