| ![]() Anyone from Bengaluru knows about Hot Tracks, Victoria Road? Carryboy in Thailand recommended them as dealers for their roof carriers for new Fortuner. I ordered a silver color carrier with 10,000/- advance to Hot Tracks agent in Gurugram (Bimbra 4x4) on 4th April when one Mr. Ramesh of Hot Tracks asked me to pay advance and promised to send the carrier within 10 days. After a month and on persistent inquiries Bimbra4x4 (Mr Taran) told me to pick up the carrier. I paid him balance money through credit card (21,127/-). When i opened the package right there, it was black color and without basic clamps used to attach with roof rails. I asked him (Bimbra 4x4) to refund the money to which he said he will pay back in cash next day. When i called him for money, he said he can't return as he has already paid to Hot Tracks. He can pay only after the concerned person Mr. Ramesh gives him a green signal. And Mr. Ramesh is neither responding to calls nor to WhatsApp. So, does anybody knows who the owner/senior person is in Hot Tracks. Is their reputation so bad? Thanks in advance. |

| ![]() I recently got the fortuner, and when i try to switch on the navigation, the navigation card seems to be missing. Has anyone else faced this problem or do I need to purchase one as an accessory? |

| ![]() I have an issue with my new Toyota fortuner the "LED Headlights are not adequate in opposite traffic scenario" . In case of four lane highway the lights are okay as we don't have any opposite lights due to the concrete boulders/plants in-between. Then i checked with three other Fortuner owners they too have the same complaint, to which the dealers simply say no one else complained. Then my friend lodged complaint to Toyota directly by mail and they direct to the dealer and he gets the same old reply from the dealer. Then when insisting on the problem he got a reply that we have maintained the Indian Motor vehicle standards by the dealer. But we do drive cars for the past 30 years and when other manufacturers vehicles and even their old innova which has run 3,50,000 kms has better lighting their reply is evasive. So by refusing to solve this issue Toyota is putting the lives of its customers into danger by providing inadequate lighting. The light seems to focus low and due to auto levelling the lights are unadjustable by the customers. People driving fortuner in cities and four lane will not be able to feel it so they take advantage of it and instead of providing a proper solution they make us feel Toyota is no different from other manufacturers Last edited by pjegadeesh : 12th May 2017 at 15:11. |

The New Fortuner has the "cooler color" Bluish White LED lights with higher color temperature, whereas the older Innova has the "warm color" yellowish white light of lower color temperature. Hence there will be difference in visibility. I own a Creta and it has very good headlights (with the warmer yellowish white beam). But, every time I drive a Creta immediately after driving the Fortuner, I have always found the Creta's headlights to be inadequate. | |

The LED lights are brighter in the fortuner but the problem i find is with the throw which seems to focus more on the floor rather than projecting it little higher. Quote:
New innova top end model comes up with the same LED lights i hope but the lights seems to solve the purpose, i strongly feel the throw is a problem incase of the Fortuner Last edited by pjegadeesh : 13th May 2017 at 00:17. | ||

Though these are auto leveling headlights the screws to adjust the headlight beam vertically and horizontally would still be there. You need to ask them to check whether it is possible the increase the base beam height so that the beam falls a little further from where it falls now. I had done this in the old Octy which had auto levelers and the light always fell a bit short. Yes but those are not bi beam-led but only for low beam. High beam is a halogen. | |

| ![]() Thanks I checked with the dealer, it seems they don't have stock of the sd cards and have to be called from the factory. |

| ![]() Hi, any suggestions for DIY painting of letters on the tyres. I am sure it will enhance the visual appeal of the T fort. |

| ![]() Many thanks for your advice Mr Devdath and daily driver. The paint marker is not permanent, it will get washed quite easily, either I keep on Re coating with the paint marker or as Mr Devadath advised to forget doing it. |

If you can't live without it then better to go for RWL tyres. Although I would like to mention they are also very hard to maintain as I had them for around 70k in my Safari. It was a weekly or biweekly task to keep them shining like new. You have to clean the white part with chemical solvents like wheel & tyre cleaner to remove the accumulated dust and grime. If you have enough time and patience plus your running is very low then only go for it else stick to current setup. Got some some old pics of my tyres the shine will definitely make your decision tough but don't forget the pain behind maintaining them. ![]() Last edited by roby_dk : 23rd May 2017 at 00:10. | |
