The second-generation Daihatsu Fourtrak, introduced in 1993, featured notable technical advancements. It offered a range of engine options, including the 2.8-liter turbocharged diesel engine (DL52) with direct injection and an intercooler. This engine delivered around 101hp and 192 lb-ft (260 Nm) of torque, providing excellent low-end power for off-road performance and towing.

The Fourtrak boasted a robust part-time 4x4 system with manual locking front hubs, ensuring optimal traction and capability in various terrains. Its suspension system consisted of a solid front axle with coil springs and leaf springs at the rear, providing stability and ample ground clearance for off-road adventures.

Transmission options included a five-speed manual gearbox for precise shifting and control, as well as an automatic transmission for smooth and effortless gear changes. The Fourtrak's chassis and body construction were designed for durability and safety, featuring a sturdy ladder-frame chassis and reinforced body panels.

Presented in an attractive shade of Dark Blue with complementing cloth interior, this particular 2000 model-year car is a top of the range TDX independent model and although its relative small size compared to its counterparts, benefits from seven seats and a 3,500kg towing capacity. With just 50,885 miles on the odometer and 2 former keepers, this presents a great opportunity for a collector looking to acquire one of these rare and interesting vehicles.

Having only covered 2,600 miles over the last ten years, last year the car was subject to nearly £1,200 in expenditure. This included spring and shock mounts replaced, suspension arm replaced, some welding, a service, the cambelts and tensioners replaced and other minor fettling. Now offered for sale from a private collection, as the owner has another example he would prefer to keep, ‘W72 LAJ’ comes accompanied with a history file containing the original book pack with a number of handbooks. The owner’s manual is present and there are 13 service stamps, with the car booked in for another service prior to sale. The V5C document is included, displaying 2 former keepers and there are two invoices for the works completed last year.
