@Colin Jordan did you had to install tow hooks on the Dodge ?

Hi @Muzurisani could you please define what you mean with modification?

Agree, the 4.0 Fortuner (new model) is pretty good in the sand. The only alternative Mitsubishi has now is the 3.0 Montero Sport which is quite nippy thanks to the 8-speed automatic and not overly heavy, but the Fortuner has more horses and Torque (but costs a lot more too). I would not mind buying a basic Montero Sport in a few years, as they will be easy to find, and maybe the original 220hp can be brought to 250-260 with some mods. But then again i might change my mind another 20 times by the time is there.
