In a unique twist that’s sure to catch the eyes of hardcore travelers and adventure enthusiasts, a fully-modified first-generation 2010 Toyota Fortuner has hit the market in Mumbai, tagged at INR 8 lakh. This isn’t your average city SUV; it’s a beast modified for the wild, with features that blur the line between a vehicle and a mobile home.
This Fortuner, previously owned by two individuals, boasts a fully functioning tent atop its hard roof, transforming it into a portable campsite at a moment’s notice. If that’s not enough to turn heads, the vehicle also includes a cop siren, perhaps to pave the way through the urban chaos or to announce its arrival in the great outdoors.
Under the hood, this rugged traveler’s companion is powered by a 2.5-litre twin-cam turbo engine, connected to a 5-speed manual gearbox. It comes with a 4-wheel drive gear stick, offering 142 horsepower and 360 Nm of torque – more than enough to tackle tough terrains. Keeping practicality in mind, it also features working side mirrors complete with sun visors.
While the first owner racked up 170,000 km on the odometer, the original seats are still in decent condition. It bears the registration number RJ14UB5368, a reminder of its journeys thus far.
But the real allure lies in its additional modifications. This includes an overhead camping tent, stove, sink, a 100 litre water tank, a supplementary 100-liter diesel tank, side canopy, police siren for those who like to make an entrance, a heavy-duty winch for tricky situations, an overhead exhaust, and reinforced front guard. Not forgetting the off-road rims and tires, which ensures this vehicle can handle pretty much any terrain.
Also known as the Toyota Hilux SW4, the model initially cost approximately INR 24 lakh (Ex-showroom) back in 2010. Its popularity has endured in India, with the Fortuner remaining a sought-after SUV in the Indian market even today.
This sale presents a rare opportunity for those who dream of turning every journey into an adventure. Whether it’s navigating the urban landscape or exploring uncharted territories, this modified Toyota Fortuner is ready for it all. It’s more than a car; it’s a ticket to a lifestyle where the world is your backyard.
