250-300k premium of 4x4 over 4x2 models worth it?

[jaymd]

just a thought. the extra you pay for a totl fort is mas sulit? because of a bigger engine(3.0) with a 4x4 drivetrain so malamang ma outperform nya yun 2.5 4x2 version in all aspects except for the FC part. sa MS naman parehas lang sila ng engine with the gls-v and the GTV so malamang mas mabilis pa yun 4x2 na MS kaysa sa 4x4. yun lang mas marami features talaga yun GTV. sa fort naman is virtually identical yun 4x2 and 4x4 models pati sa interior. tsaka having driven the gtv, gls-v, 2.5G and 3.0V. yun pinakamabagal sa arangkada is yun GTV. ewan ko kung bakit mas responsive pa yun 102 hp na 2.5 non-vnt fort noon. baka dahil sa low rpm peak torque din. pero sa highway malamang gtv pinaka mabillis. yun 3.0V masarap ihataw talaga. pumipito pa. yun vnt 2.5L na fort may pito na din

SPOILER ALERT.

You people talk about power as if you're driving sports cars. Remember that the vehicles being discussed in here are SUV's. They are not meant to be handled (or driven) like "cars" on the road. Simply because of the difference in ride height and suspension geometry.

I've seen way to much Fortuners and Monteros going belly up on rice paddies and roadside ditches. Not a pretty sight IMHO. And by the way, I'm also rooting on the yet to be released 2015 4x4 Fortuner.

Drive safely gentlemen.

Yup worth it, because you are referring to a vehicle classified as SUV, SUV's should be 4x4. Pero syempre if you really dont need 4x4 then mag 4x2 ka na lang. Ganon din naman ako before yung fortuner ko 4x2 lang pero nung nakita ko yung kayang puntahan ng 4x4 e nainggit ako so I bought 4x4 pickup. So pag naka 4x4 ka pwede mo isama sa list ang mga pasyalan ng mga 4x4 like Loag sand dunes, sapang bato, etc. Sa beach pwede mo dalin sasakyan mo hangga sa sand.

Who knows minsan kahit nasa city ka kelangan mo din ang 4x4, naalala ko nung papasok ako sa mall matarik ang parking malakas ulan basa yung ramp yung kotse di maka akyat when it was my turn I shifted to 4x4 no sweat.

Sa baguio at sa tagaytay meron mga super tarik na kalsada na pag umuulan madulas or kahit tuyo dahil sa sobra tarik hirap ang makina, pag 4x4 sasakyan mo shift ka lang sa 4L magiging low speed ka so lalakas torque ng engine mo makakaakyat ka nang hindi hirap ang makina at clutch, same as downhill mas effective engine brake. Sa baha useful ang 4L habang lumulusong ka hi rev makina so di hirap at di babara tambutso.

So pag naka 4x4 ka dami mo pwede puntahan na di kaya puntahan ng 4x2.

used to own a 4x4 pickup at never ko nagamit ni minsan. when i sold it 2 years ago and bought a new one 4x2 na lang at happy naman ako dahil mas matipid sa fuel.
for me kung gagamitin mo 4x4 go for it. otherwise 4x2 ka na lang. unless kasi mag offroading ka talaga di mo magagamit yung 4x4. never ko pa naexperience na gamitin kahit baha, madulas ang kalsada, aakyat ng matarik na parking lot, kahit umuulan sa baguio na maputik di ko nagamit at kaya naman ng 4x2.

And that about sums it all up.

Plus you do not get the unusual stares (questions and reactions) from people wondering why you opted to park your SUV and decided to hoof it up that hill.
