The modern way of comparing the acceleration of two SUVs is through a drag race. But what happens when a 4×4 SUV races with a 4×2 SUV?
Here is a cool video of a drag race between a Ford Endeavour 4×4 and a Toyota Fortuner Legender 4×2. The Legender is the top variant of the Fortuner SUV. The Endeavour, on the other hand, was a worthy competitor, however, the production of the Ford vehicles has stopped in India. The video has been uploaded on YouTube. Let us take a look at who comes out on top in this drag race of the popular full-size SUVs.

Drag Race Endeavour & Fortuner
The location of the shoot looks like a highway that has been deserted. There isn’t much traffic on the street. While racing such huge SUVs, it is crucial to ensure that there is a long stretch of empty road because these SUVs will take a long time to reach high speeds. That is exactly what the drivers do. In the first attempt, the Fortuner is able to slowly outpace the Endeavour. In the final attempt, the results remain the same. There is a marginal gap between the two at the beginning of the race. Even by the end of it, the Fortuner Legender is able to beat the Endeavour by a small margin. However, the credit must be given to the Toyota Fortuner. It came out on the top to beat the Endeavour fair and square even in multiple attempts. This gives us an idea about which one is the quicker SUV of the two.
