    The Mu-x PMS is cheaper than the Fortuner. I was shocked when I brought my MU-X 3.0 for it's 1k PMS it is way cheaper than my Trooper with a 4jx1 engine. The build quality of the interior of the Mux looks cheap with hard plastics everywhere
    Fit and finish of the new Fortuner is much better than the Mu-x but all hard plastic. Has anyone noticed that? Even the top of the dash seems like hard plastic.

    The fortuner would have been ok except for that rip off of a rear brake (drums ) !!! I believe they're the only ones in that category that still use drum brakes for the rear.

    Well to each his own... If you can find in Australia a conversion kit for that, so much the better.

    But for now, my vote goes to the Mu-X

    Fortuner pa rin ako at least ndi ka hirap sa acqusition ng spare parts and good resale value unlike ng isuzu na napakamahal ng spare parts nya and its scarsity ng parts in which casa lang ang meron.

    Timing chain na rin yata ang Fortuner...
    I'll give the slight win to Mux if for keeps due engine reliability. We all know isuzu engines when it comes to diesels.


    The fortuner will give you a leverage if you plan to sell it 5-10years from now due to

    1. All new car vs. Aging Mux, most probably facelift pa lang ang fortuners nun still by that time youre selling it. MuX, I think next year or 2018 lalabas na ang All new Trail/MuX. So maluluma na tuluyan ang MuX.

    2. Toyota resale value advantage. Thats a given.

    It was only the Skyroof edition Troopers sold from 2003-2005 which is euro 3 compliant. I have a 2001 and 2002 4jx1 trooper never had a problem w/ the injectors. Maselan sa fuel and maintainance ang 4jx1 here and abroad it has a lot of bad reviews

    Care to elaborate this part? Thanks
    Sorry, what I meant was you do not need to rev the motor much to get the vehicle moving from stand-still. This is evident for city driving and out of town trips wherein you'll encounter steep hills especially if the vehicle is loaded.

    Mu-x dahil matibay,matipid,malakas,maporma at mas mura. Di ka talaga lugi at magsisisi.

    Mu-X dahil value for money. Ang laki ng Fort pero pag nasa loob ka na parang mas maluwag pa yung Mux. Don't worry about hard plastics...they won't deteriorate under our harsh tropical sun. This is purely subjective but I like the subtle looks of the Mux over the Fort na parang nakakasawa. As to power and speed, parehong ayos naman sila. You wouldn't and shouldn't use it for racing anyway.
