Off-road enthusiasts are not afraid to take their SUVs to places that other vehicles can only dream of, but it doesn’t come without its perils.
In this video, a Toyota Fortuner ends up getting stuck in the sand while towing a Mitsubishi Pajero. Fortuner is regarded as one of the best off-roaders in the country. Interestingly, this title was held by the Pajero for a long time a few years ago. Hence, this makes for an interesting pairing to see these two veterans conquering the off-road together. However, we would advise our readers to not try such stunts if they are not professional. It could be perilous for you and your vehicle.

Fortuner Gets Stuck While Towing Pajero
The video has been uploaded by a famous YouTuber who keeps creating such content around 4×4 vehicles and off-roading adventures. In this video, the group consists of 2 Fortuners, 1 Gypsy and 1 Pajero. They have chosen a river bed as their location for shooting and performing some adventurous stunts. There are places in the area where the river is flowing in patches. The group decides to do a few river crossings in addition to drifting on the sand and rubble. You could see how at ease these off-roading SUVs feel during all these manoeuvres.

However, after some time, they land up in a part of the riverbed where the sand is thick and sinking. By accelerating hard on the sand, the tyres of the Fortuner end up getting stuck in the ground. But with consistent attempts, the driver is able to pull it out. The same phenomenon happened with the Pajero a couple of times. Eventually, it got stuck really deep into the ground. The people decided to tow it using the Fortuner. Surprisingly, the Fortuner also got its tyres too deep in the sand and both the vehicles got partially stuck. That is when the people decided to push the SUVs manually to get them out.
