Assembled in Asia and South America, the Fortuner is built on the well-established platform of the Toyota Hilux. It features three rows of seats with fulltime 4wd among its many features. The Fortuner is part of Toyota's IMV project which include the Hilux and Innova.

Toyota initiated the IMV project to create an optimized global manufacturing and supply system for pickup trucks and multipurpose vehicles to satisfy market demand in more than 140 countries worldwide. IMV calls for diesel engines to be made in Thailand, gasoline engines in Indonesia and manual transmissions in the Philippines and India, for supply to the countries charged with vehicle production.
