BATTLE OF THE NEW SUV's - All New Everest vs 2016 Montero vs 2016 Fortuner

[StockEngine]

Test drove the everest ambiente A/T and montero TOTL. Di ko maintindihan bakit nakukulangan pa sa power ang iba sa everest 2.2. Ang lakas sumibat e. Parang gasolina lang ang dala. Mas malakas everest sa montero. Although 4x4 yung comparison ko na montero. But definitely mas ok ang power ng new montero sa previous montero, at tahimik. Lighter steering also but on the heavy side pa rin ng konti.

Di ko maintindihan bakit feel ko mas malakas ang 2.2 everest compared sa 3.2 wildtrak ranger na test drive ko dati mga 2 yrs ago. Same engine naman sila di ba?

The same feedback from the indian market. They prefer the 2.2 over the 3.2 4x4 variants.

Oh.. bakit kaya ganun. I dont think the added weight of 4x4 ang dahilan. Ang layo naman ng difference

I forgot they mentioned the lighter feeling of the 2.2 so definitely the weight. I guess the 3.2 is compensated with the extra torque. They reported good fc of the 2.2 also.

Pero 1 liter more and an extra cylinder. Tapos mas malakas pa feel ng 2.2. Not an expert. I find it weird lang. Hehe

Exactly my experience sir when I test drove both 4x2 models of Eve and Monty. I find the Monty more restrained than the Eve. I have good comparison kasi I tested them just minutes apart, as I was seriously looking then for my first SUV. I'd like to believe that I've been objective as I possibly can when I picked the Eve over the Monty and Fort since I didn't own any vehicle from these 3 brands before. All I have for 18 years is my reliable 1997 Honda Civic VTI.

I still have reservations about the reliability of Ford though. I have accepted the common thinking na mas matibay in general ang mga Japanese branded cars than American cars. But in the end one has to make a compromise and decide based on what one thinks is the best package that will give him most value for his hard-earned money. And the Ford Everest ticks most of the boxes for me.

To each his own, 'ika nga. Let's continue to agree to disagree on our beloved SUVs. For now I'm really enjoying my 2.2L Everest Titanium Premium. Cheers!

Dalawa ang binili naming SUV, Everest 3.2 Titanium plus, at ang Toyota 2.8 V, unang dumating ang Eve, at huli ang Fortuner, mas gusto ko at ang driver namin idrive ang Eve, mas malakas at matatag, pero mas gusto pa rin namin ang ride ng Innova

Nice ride.. Sir pwede po ba pakiliwinag po at bakit mas prefer nyo pa rin ang rides ng Innova. Ang pagkakaalam ko kc lahat ng owner comments dito ay mas comfy ang rides ng bagong Fort at Eve. TIA po..

Absolutely none of these models are sold here. And they're all related models (same/similar chassis and components) that don't share anything with the Australian-engineered Everest.

As for EPS problems... many of the older EPS equipped cars are now nearing the age where they are encountering EPS issues. One problem with older EPS systems is that they are lifetime systems, and have no provision for maintenance. When they die, you throw out the motor assembly and buy a new one. Not sure what the new ones are like and whether we are now equipped to have these motors rebuilt or rewound, like we can do with alternators.

Not that hydraulics are categorically better. Ask anyone who's had to fork over big bucks to replace a dead hydraulic rack on an Accord or CRV.

The 3.2 is definitely more powerful than the 2.2, but it's got no punch above 3,000 rpm and the automatic transmission is poorly mated to the motor... it holds on to each gear past the power peak when it really ought to short shift at 3,200 - 3,500 rpm for quickest acceleration. (I've tested this against the V-Box... this is one of the very few cars on the road where short-shifting is actually faster!)

The Monty, I hope to get a personal review soon. Was not all that impressed with the power, especially not compared to the firecracker that was the 4D56T, but it is much smoother and better for daily use than the old motor. And the interior, panalo.

Sir Niky,

This is for a clarification lang po, correct me if I'm wrong.

If I remember correctly Sir, somebody mentioned here that the transmission will adopt your driving techniques for a period of time. IMHO, incase na yung unit na ginamit for drive test is slow responsive in changing gear, probably yung huling nagdrive test is ganun siya magmaneho. This is why it is better to test for a little bit longer just to compensate that the transmission will adopt your driving techniques.

Have a good day po..
