bro, get the 2.7 vvti its the best bang for your buck SUV in the market today! for just 1.3M you'll get spacious interior, powerful yet efficient engine, and rock hard reliablity! plus you'll still have money left for upgrades and enhancements!

So far, there's been no mechanical update, so, yes, the suspension is still really stiff.

From the front, the ride is stiff but still tolerable. In the back, it gets worse. because you're closer to the rear end and sitting higher up inside the vehicle. It's bearable in the city if you lower the tire pressures, but it gets pretty shaky on the highway or in the provinces.

Budget an additional 40k pesos to buy the aftermarket springs for the Fortuner, they help a lot. Other solutions include buying aftermarket shocks, filling the tires with nitrogen and/or getting more road-biased (softer-sidewalled) tires.

the 2.5 d4d is not a good match for the fortuner... mabagal masyado for me. a bit tolerable if city driving ka lang.

between the Gs, 2.7 gas din ako. compensated na yan sa P60K difference.





or go for the 3.0 V

ano pong brand yong spring? and where to buy? totoo po ba may revision sa suspension ang lahat ng fort this coming july? tnx

[saipeme]

bro 2.5 d4d is just good enough sa innova... for fortuner being a/t transmission when full stop mabagal sa arankadahan because of its heavier body and bigger tires but if you are in na at a speed of 50kmh responsive na sya...

I don't know about July.

The springs? Not sure about the brand, but a lot of places carry lowering springs for the Fortuner already. You'll have to search the Fortuner Owners' Thread for recommendations.
