I think that's a Thai/Indo spec Toyota Fortuna or a mule based on it.

My offsider at work just bought a Colorado, and he showed me pics of a vehicle they briefly considered buying, a Colorado "SUV" type wagon. I think that might be it. Not sure though...
EDIT: No it's not...just had a look at Holdens website. I do notice the guards look very like a Nissan Navara...could be something from them coming soon? No surprise given how popular the twin cab/SUV wagon section of the market is at the moment. |

Toyota Fortuna is just about to be released here, looks to be undergoing a final bit of testing.

Isuzu are releasing one as well but that mule in that photo has a distinct Toyota smell about it.

Bullbar and towbar companies have already had a play with them, so as I said it wont be long.

I've seen a few of these in Fords development fleet, being used as benchmarks for the Everest. It's basically an SUV version of the Hilux, just like the Everest will be an SUV version of the Ranger. It will be the Everest's no1 competitor in most Asian markets.
But the Everest will destroy it. |
