Which one should you buy?
Choose the BJ40 Plus Honorable Edition if you want 4x4 hardware, stronger listed power, and a lower sticker in this pair.
Choose the Fortuner G 4x2 if you need seven seats, Toyota's service footprint, and higher clearance, and you accept RWD rather than 4x4 on this trim.
Bottom line
Do not confuse this default Fortuner 4x2 with a 4x4 Fortuner. The BJ40 Plus is the off-road-leaning five-seater; the Fortuner G 4x2 is the seven-seat family default. Confirm the exact Toyota driveline you are buying, then compare on CarvoltX.
