2021 Toyota Fortuner with blacked out exterior looks brilliant

Toyota Fortuner is one of the most popular 7-seater SUV in its segment. Its main competition was Ford Endeavour which got discontinued from the market. Toyota Fortuner is a proper SUV that can do off-roading as well. We have seen several examples of modified Toyota Fortuner SUVs online. Many of them are modified for off-road purposes while some are modified to make it look good. Here we have a 2021 facelift Toyota Fortuner that has been completely dechromed and looks sporty.

This is a 2021 facelifted version of Toyota Fortuner. Toyota made cosmetic changes to the SUV to give it a premium look. The Fortuner seen in the image comes with Black paint job from factory and that made things easier for the owner. The Toyota Fortuner has a chrome garnish on either side of the grille. The chrome portion was completely blacked out so that it goes well with the overall theme of the car.
