- Utilizing the hook at the bottom of your Toyota Fortuner seats, lift the seats and fasten them to the grab grip. By doing this, you can avoid having them unintentionally fall on you once you loosen their bolts.
- Remove the two panels from the 2 against the car’s back wall, next to the seat. The middle plastic portion, which has two black buttons on it, makes the cover easy to identify. To shimmy the covers off, apply gentle upward pressure.
- Remove the cover you unfastened, lower the seatback to the ground, and secure it.
- By placing your hand behind the exposed seat-hinge mechanism and gently pressing toward you, you can remove the little rectangular cover in its center.
- Repeat the previous process to remove the remaining cover piece.
- One last plastic piece will be attached to two metal parts on the left and right sides of the hinge mechanism (near where the now-visible bolts are). By releasing the plastic’s clips from the metal components and moving the plastic slightly forward, you can remove this. You shouldn’t remove the entire piece.
- The bolts on either side of the frame can be removed with your 14mm socket wrench.
- Back up the seat once again. Be sure to secure the seat’s clasp once more.
- To access the final bolt, remove the center cover that is obstructing it. Lightly push and tug it until it releases from the restrictions.
- Lower the seatback. You should now be able to see the final bolt by looking down into the machine.
- Finally, remove the last bolt with your 14mm socket wrench.

Are there bucket seats in the Fortuner?
According to the majority of the popular MPVs, SUVs, and sedans, DC has been creating lounges. The most common cars used to create DC lounges, though, are Toyotas. Back then, we reported on the new Innova Crysta’s transformation into a DC lounge and speculated as to when the new Fortuner might join the list. It appears that the DC staff members heard us. Even though the large SUV has only been out for a month, DC has already developed a “lounge” modeled on the brand-new Fortuner.
The Fortuner has had a visual makeover as well, whereas the Crysta was visually identical but for a few DC emblems here and there. The vehicle has a body kit that has been installed to give it a more butch appearance. This is just a black trim that gives the car a tougher, wider appearance. The front bumper has been modification and now features a silver skid plate.
There is richness and magnificence everywhere. This Fortuner is now a 4-seater instead of the standard Fortuner’s 8 seats. The two rows at the back are gone. They are presently being replaced by two bucket executive seats that recline, have a foot rest, and offer the utmost in backseat luxury. A TV can be mounted in the solid wall that divides the back seats from the front seats. Controls that can be used to adjust the seats and manage various aspects of the vehicle’s back are located between the two seats. Overall, if you’re searching for the ultimate luxury SUV, this is undoubtedly the one to consider.
DC hasn’t yet disclosed how much it will cost to transform your Fortuner into this, but if the Innova is any indication, it would cost you between Rs 5 and 10 lakhs more than the car itself.
What is the Toyota Fortuner’s ground clearance?
The elegant SUV from Toyota Motors, the Fortuner, has a staggering 220 mm of ground clearance. The car’s muscular appearance is enhanced by its high ground clearance, which separates it from most of its competitors.
High-end luxury SUV Ssangyong Rexton has a large ground clearance of 252mm, which is 31mm greater than that provided by Toyota Fortuner. It is available in the Indian market. Another formidable competitor to the Toyota Fortune is the Ford Endeavour, a powerful SUV that provides the ideal balance of strength, comfort, and safety. It has a 210mm lower ground clearance. The muscular-looking Mitsubishi Pajero has a slightly lower ground clearance (215mm) than the Toyota Fortuner. Hyundai Santa Fe, another Toyota Fortuner challenger, has a good ground clearance of 185mm, which is significantly less than what Toyota Fortuner offers.
Can a Fortuner accommodate three car seats?
The Fortuner narrows toward the top of the car, thus it is not wide enough at the top to allow all those side head protectors, therefore I discovered that three forward-facing child seats would not fit! You might be able to get three forward-facing slimline child seats, but you would need to test them first.
I discovered that you needed to remove two child seats in order to access the third row with three child seats installed. The second row seats are divided 60:40, and in order to move the seat that is divided 40 percent forward, both the child seat and the middle seat must be removed, which is really not practicable on a daily basis. To avoid having to remove the child seats from the second row, someone I know uses one of the third-row seats and enters the vehicle through the boot.
I had no issue putting my baby in or taking her out of a forward-facing or rear-facing child seat because the doors are lovely and broad and tall. Even inside the car, it was fine.
Due to the harsh weather in Australia (scorching sun and pouring rain), you might find it occasionally simpler to buckle Baby into their seat from inside the vehicle. If it’s hot outside, you can turn on the air conditioning to chill the car while you secure the kids in, or you can find cover from the rain to avoid getting wet while you do it if it’s raining. Therefore, it’s crucial to test whether installing Bub is simple from any direction.
If there is only one kid seat fitted, there is space in the back to nurse a baby. The seats on the type I examined were covered in a leather-like material that was quite easy to clean.
