GALLERY: Trailblazer closing gap on Fortuner

I feel genuinely sorry for the vehicles competing against the Toyota Fortuner.

Take Ford’s Everest and Chevrolet’s Trailblazer as two examples.

They’re both backed by renowned international motor manufacturers and both have received solid reviews across the motoring media spectrum. But when it comes to SUV sales in South Africa, they’ve played second fiddle to their Japanese rival for some time – and with good reason, many will say.
