    I'm a guy who usually sacrifice the performance over the looks. Given on the 3 lists, I'll give Fortuner > Montero > TB.
    I don't care about the resale value. We used to have 3 Fords (2 Escapes 1 Everest) and till now we don't have a plan to sell it.
    Parts are also easy access to banawe. So if I we're you, select the SUV that can make you happy

    Among the 3 choices you given for the Philippine market...

    Most suitable and dependable to date is the Fortuner. It came first among the choices. It stood the test of time. A solid proof of suitability and dependability.

    Most effective and successful to date is the Montero.

    Most outstanding and noticeable to date is the Traiblazer. Like moving up and during commencement exercises there should only be one. But being most outstanding is not always a guarantee for a success.
    Fortuner and Montero was also outstanding and noticeable before. Unfortunately only time could tell if Trailblazer is also suitable, dependable, effective and successful. But for sure, during that time there will be another outstanding and noticeable SUV in the market.
    spot on sir arsen... i am a firm believer that there's no all-in-one car in the market.
    para sa akin i'll go where my heart beats.
    in this case i need the extra space of trailblazer it can offer over the two SUVs

    best buy suv - the tittle

    "not" best value- surely this will go to the montero("best value")- real value for money since it's already loaded with all the gismos you can think of.(but do you really need those gizmos? paddle shifters etc...? )

    "not" best in durability- surely this will go with the montero("best in durability") again since it's been here for half a decade and it's cousin the strada has been here for a decade

    why not the fort-(waste of money) same old design that even it's upgraded suspension is just plain crap- the fort was a good design for the first years until mitsu boys showed us that we deserve something better hence the epic battle of the car manufacturer is s.e. asia.

    resale value- we still got a 15 year old trooper(di pa mausok, "nossle valve") we have no plans on selling it, heck do you buy cars as if your just buying a candy?

    we have the first gen fort
    2012 montero(always loved the spaceship design)
    2014 tb

    but the tittle is best buy suv- plainly goes to the tb with no crap explanation

    daming haters dito na ala racist- oh well crab mentality as it's finest ika nga instead na sumaya dahil yung mga auto manufacturers ay lalong maglalaban for our hard earned money hence giving us the best value for a little less(nissan slyphy)

    asan na nga pala yung mga ulol a few years back saying there was an "unintended acceleration of the montero"?????- hehehehe wala pa kasing nadedevelop na idiot proof cars

    Trailblazer 2.8 LTZ - 1,488,888
    Montero Sport GLS-V - 1,468,000
    Fortuner 2.5 G - 1,360,000
    Fortuner 2.5 V - 1,490,000

    Pano naging cheapest yung TB..
    Di pa nga kasali diyan yung discounts ng Montero.

    Best buy for me is Monty. Sakto for my needs in terms of price, reliability, looks and usage (90% city, 10% hway).
