The next obstacle was a slush pit which was quite easy to navigate. That was followed a by a steep uphill climb to show what Hill Hold Assist can do. Creeping in 4 low along with light throttle inputs does the trick. 
This was followed by a drive through a water pool to show the Fortuner’s water wading capability. The instructor mentioned that the water was at a 700 mm level. Driving through water is always fun, though you need to do so with extreme caution.
The was also a side incline obstacle as part of the trail. Finished that off in a breeze. There was one last challenge that we did not attempt. However, the Fortuner was more than happy to pose for us with its nose pointing towards the sky. 
To conclude, the Boot Camp was a good event by Toyota to spread awareness on the Fortuner’s capabilities and features. All the Fortuners used at the event were 4×4 Automatics. Manuals would have certainly added to the fun factor for sure. They should also have used All Terrain (AT) tyres on the vehicles as well.
We feel the event is fantastic initiative and Toyota should definitely have many more events like these in the future.
