snoop1130 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Video: Welcome to Thai Road Rage: "My car's more expensive than yours!" A video is going viral on Thai social media that shows a Toyota Fortuner driver involved in a minor scrape going on about his car being more expensive. The poster of the clip said the other driver smelt of alcohol. The line causing much comment is basically "My car is more expensive than yours". Throw in a couple of "fs" and other expletives and you get the idea. Apparently an accident occurred between sois 112 and 114 of Lad Prao during the early morning rush hour on Thursday. The poster of the clip parked his car that was rear ended down a side soi and was willing to forget the damage until the Fortuner driver started kicking off, he said. The Fortuner driver's girlfriend tries to restrain him and the situation turns nasty before the Toyota driver leaves the scene and a policeman arrives on a bike. Efforts to track down the Fortuner failed but Chok Chai police said they were investigating. Daily News did not report what vehicle the other man was driving.

Moonmoon Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Idiot. There is a community of fortuner drivers in Thailand. This nutcase just gives us a bad name. A fortuner is not even a hiso expensive vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You found out that comfortable off road experience costs quite a lot more than 1.6M Baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandalf12 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 It is a Fortuna? They are not expensive and even if it was the insurance will cover it. Stupid little prick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they are good for driving in high water (or in the rivers like my friends did). But they are sure not comfortable. Also in BKK they are too large to park easy and fast.

They haven't been that since the 90s. Fortuner (Forerunner in the US) switched from the body on frame design used in pickup trucks to the unibody design in 1996. They've been moving more and more towards soccer mom kid and grocery mobile ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thian Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 5 minutes ago, Father Fintan Stack said: The Hilux and the Fortuner both share the same chassis, transmission and engines. They are the same pick-up based platform in the older and new generations. The US Toyota 4Runner is a completely different vehicle. Correct me if i'm wrong but i thought that in Thailand pickups (and also fortuners) fall into the category of agriculture vehicles which are lower taxed than saloon cars. So all fortunerdrivers are in fact farmers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thian Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 3 minutes ago, Father Fintan Stack said: Pick-ups are considered commercial vehicles and they are subject to lower tax and different plates. Fortuners although just fancy pick-ups are not in the commercial category. And a pickup with double cab in which category is that? That must be in the cheap tax-category since it's a pickup?

And - personal opinion alert - generally driven by the most aggressive and inconsiderate tail-gating light-flashing drivers in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
