This Modified Toyota Fortuner Legender Gets Heavy Duty Off-Road Mods

Toyota Fortuner Legender off-road modification

Check out this custom-built Toyota Fortuner Legender by Thailand-based Loft Modify, which features plenty of off-road modifications

Last year, Toyota globally debuted the Fortuner facelift, while also introducing the world to a new variant of the SUV – Fortuner Legender. The Legender version featured a slightly different exterior design compared to the standard Fortuner, and offered a few extra features as well. Earlier this year, the facelifted Fortuner and Fortuner Legender made their way to a few other markets, including India and Thailand.

Toyota Fortuner is quite a popular SUV among enthusiasts around the world, and most owners love to customise it as well. Here, we have a modified Toyota Fortuner Legender from Thailand, built by Loft Modify, which looks brilliant thanks to all the off-road mods it sports. The most noticeable changes are the new wheels and tyres; the SUV wears a set of 22-inch dual-tone alloy wheels with 33×12.5-inch mountain tyres.

The new tyres are extremely wide and extend a little beyond the wheel arches, giving the SUV a very muscular and aggressive stance. The vehicle also gets an aftermarket suspension system, to further improve its off-road capabilities. We also see auto-folding side steps here, which not only look extremely cool but are practical as well.

There don’t seem to be a lot of aesthetic changes here; the SUV sports the ‘Emotional Red’ paint scheme, which includes blacked-out pillars and roof. The paint scheme looks extremely pretty, and we’re a little sad that Toyota doesn’t offer this colour option on the Indian version. The Thailand-spec Toyota Fortuner Legender is available with two engine options.

The first one is a 2.4-litre turbo-diesel motor, capable of generating a peak power and torque of 151 PS and 400 Nm, respectively. The second one is a 2.8-litre turbo-diesel motor, with 206 PS and 500 Nm on tap. Both engines come mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, and can be had with either an RWD system or 4WD system.
