Fortuner’s capability

In the video posted by Autonetmagz on its Instagram, we can see a Fortuner taking on traffic via the grass-paved divider on the road. The divider is covered in grass. Also, due to the heavy rain, there is a lot of slush on the divider. But the Fortuner seems to be easily traversing this section, showing its true capability.
