If you ever been to Japan or Thailand, you must have seen this big guy in the street frequently: TOYOTA FORTUNER. Yes, FORTUNER is very popular  in those two countries. Have you ever seen FORTUNER in China? Of course not. But recently, CCF readers saw it in the Shenzhen auto market.

The seller told that TOYOTA FORTUNER has a Chinese name “TOYOTA Runner 2700″,  a number of engine options are available depending on the country of sale, including a 2.7 liter 2TR-FE and 4.0 liter 1GR-FE V6 petrol with Variable Valve Timing and 2.5 2KD-FTV and 3.0 1KD-FTV common rail variable geometry turbocharger Diesel models.
