Fortuner Ground Clearance

[rhynoceros]

So when the specs for the Fortuner were released here i remember thing wow 279mm of ground clearance thats amazing...are they running portal axels or something.

However they've now come out with a correction it is actually 225mm:

How does a company stuff that up....it was on the toyota site now there is no mention of its ground clearance in the specs.

Easy, someone just forgot the old rule of always measure twice!

Just a misundertanding is all!  ;-)  The press release was for the Fortuner when fitted with optional 37" Simex Centipedes.

It's like Chinese lumens and watts, once you convert it to metric Australian it's always less.

They measured to the rear axle tube??? lol

Maybe its passenger ground clearance, so to the foot wells.

I was looking at buying one before I came to my senses and only remember the 225mm figure.
