Force Trax Toofan AC Review
Overview
The Force Trax Toofan AC: My Spin on a Daily Driver with Comfort
The Force Trax Toofan AC is not a typical SUV that you’d spot on the streets – it is one that leaves an auto-lovers impressionable mind imprinted. To the average fan who feels he or she has a basic understanding of robust vehicle designs that are purely utilitarian, the Toofan has always had its own raw appeal. What you would not find here is elegance in design or kick ass styling, what you will find at this company is getting the job done and adding the air conditioning in this model. It adds some comfort to the otherwise pretty utilitarian device.
Design & Build
The Toofan is not designed to be a stylish or beautiful car, if it is. It is more of a “naked car for purpose” type of automobile. You can bet your last dollar that as soon as you lay your eyes on it, you know it is built to last. Personally I like its no nonsense practical look it is tall, has a simple front grille and has that very African masculine boxy look. The people do not set out to show off and show how superior they are its goal is to offer.
It is an inside don’t look for luxury and very soft surroundings. This is a vehicle where practicality is predominant and where the sensuous the artistic plays a relatively small role or no role at all. With the driver sitting on a rather tall seat I noticed that the cars visibility of the road is perfect especially when doing long distance driving on unknown areas. For the latest generation due to added air conditioning it now takes form of the Toofan AC which adds a whole new level of comfort during summer for instance. It is rudimentary sure but when you are taking this on an overland trip where matters of durability and coziness are arguably complementary, it makes sense.
Performance & Power
Let’s dive under the hood. The Trax Toofan does not try to be fast or lest us face the reality we are not in the market for sport utility vehicles—Toofan is a tool a workhorse actually. The representative vehicle is fitted with a 2.6-liter diesel engine to ensure it can cope well with heavy loads and challenging terrains. It is very reliable when I am on the highway but if you just have to maneuver you better look for a parking space. However, it is made for those who will be driving in rural or off-road situations, where it belongs. It may not be winning any races but it feels like a rock, like the friend you’ve always known who is waiting for the next great adventure.
In many respects, the 5-speed gearbox is simple, utilitarian with nothing superfluous. Changing gears is smooth and uneventful, which is just what you want in a car of this segment. That is not to say that the chairs are attempting to make a fast first impression instead of flair, the chairs boast durability and in this case, that is exactly what is expected.
Space & Comfort
The first thing that strikes you immediately when you step into the Trax Toofan AC is the fact that is a very spacious car. It is built for transporting people – many people for that matter. Coming as a large sedan this car has enough space to lodge 9 to 13 passengers making it almost a mini-bus. If one needs a vehicle that will accommodate many people and or goods, the Toofan AC will definitely do the job. The chairs are not very glamorous and they are not intended to cater for long distance accommodation they are however quite comfortable. This carries none of the almost glamorous suggestiveness of seating outfitted in cowhide, the back has ample leg space, and there is a wide, airy space that is missing in most compact SUVs.
But hey, we are practical here, and the AC in this version is just amazing. If you have ever been inside an SUV that doesn’t have an air conditioner during summer, then you have the experience of what I am talking about. Long drives are much more comfortable with the Toofan AC and that is a big thing. It is the kind of feature that can transform a gruelling working trip into a tolerable, almost fun experience.
Handling & Braking
Pressing the accelerator and turning the steering wheel of the Toofan is something between driving a car and operating some sizable piece of equipment. It gives it a rather substantial, terrestrial impression and that is especially noticeable when loaded. On bumpy surfaces that becomes an asset, handling powerful, smooth and even though the multi-link suspension takes some punishment it remains composed. No, it is not agile but anything that the road throws at it can be dealt within very easily with the help of its suspension system.
Braking is said and done in its most basic form no complex networks or innovative gizmos to it. It is simple and efficient and that’s what you need in a car created for severe environment and conditions. On the inclined planes that are steep or on a rough track as well it appears to be stable. It is not very stylish but it is very reliable and reliable which personally for me is exactly the car of this type.
Why the Force Trax Toofan AC Is Special
Well, let’s take a look at why you should choose the Toofan AC. In my case, it means functionality rather than ostentatiousness. This is not a car targetting urbanite consumers or aspiring to become the new crop of stylish sports utility vehicles. It is the model for those needing extra room, longevity and a little luxury along with the AC aspect. Anyone in the market for a vehicle, which is tough yet quite reliable not to mention durable one that could bound to conquer even the roughest terrain as well as bear heavy load then Toofan AC is not a bad pick at all.
Could I use it while driving around town? Probably not. But if are like me, you prefer a car with serious bones that doesn’t overthink things and gets straight to business, then the Toofan AC won’t disappoint you. That’s where Toyota is at, it is bulked out for the long run, when you just need to get by and have the creature comforts to push on through while maintaining the constitution to take it all on.

User Reviews for Force Trax
Excellent choice for a family trip
The Force Trax Cruiser is an excellent choice for a family trip. It's spacious interior accommodates up to 8 passengers with ease. Its powerful engine offers excellent performance and fuel economy. The car also comes with a host of advanced safety features that make it an ideal choice for a family. Whether you're going on a long road trip or just a weekend getaway, the Force Trax Cruiser is the perfect car for you.
Extremely disappointed with the mileage
We have been extremely disappointed with the mileage of our new Trax Cruiser. Even though it carries less passengers than our past models, it has been giving us only 9-10 kmpl, whereas our 2012 model Cruiser was giving us around 10 kmpl. The vehicle has already run over 12,000 kms and yet the mileage has not improved. We understand that long life and good mileage is essential for taxi owners like us, and so we are worried that if the problem does not get resolved after the next service, we may not be able to afford to keep this vehicle.
High Price
Some features must be added to this vehicle Eg. Rear AC, Steering Adjustment, Automatic Mirror Adjustment, and the Best Quality Material Body because the body destroys in some years.
Best Features: Power Window & Central Lock
Pros: AC
Cons: Rear AC
Force Toofan is best for industrial use.
Still, customer service is very poor.
Best Features: Toofan helped me increase my income.
Pros: Best for business development.
Cons: Handbrake is not that effective.
