    My only complain is maintanance. Lalo na ngayong tag-ulan. Kahit wax every two weeks may watermarks pa rin. Typical black car syndrome I suppose. Pero as long as walang problema sa car itself, I'm happy with it. Panglabas lang naman yang watermarks. Puwede na detail once a year.

    I had the same dilemma with you DMadness months ago. You will never go wrong with the Monty and Fort. What made me go with the Fort is the improved engine with VNT and the Macho looking Wide Hoodscoop (if ngkataon wala pa ring VNT yung Fort 2.5 diesel variant, Monty ang kinuha ko). I postponed my purchase for a year cause I've been waiting for the 2.5 VNT to come out. It's worth the wait. Buti na lang hindi ako nagmadali. But since you're a girl, maybe iba yung taste mo. Goodluck and wag ka magmadali. It's a million peso investment. So take your precious time and study every detail of both vehicles.

    Hope this helps.
    ** Thank you for your POV. So yep, I already decided and I actually got the Monty na. I got it yesterday.

    ** I always wanted to get the Fort. But since may Hilux na within the family which my sister recently got last march, I opted to get the Monty (yesterday) para may different feel. I guess halos same lang naman sila ng Fort eh.

    Fortuner ako.

    Idagdag ko lang kasi di pa nila nababanggit about sa montero, eh yung check engine warning sa panel,Despite na nagpapakarga ka sa hindi binabaha na gas stations iilaw at iilaw yun, TRUST me. nakakainis mag drive pag lagi mo nakikita yun. Sakit ata yun ng montero. Pero kung kaya mo naman matiis yun, mag montero ka.

    Surprise yun boss. Bigla na lang siya iilaw, so edi magrereset ka, tapos iilaw parin at iilaw yun. Tanong mo ibang mga naka montero, hindi nila aaminin yun dito sa tsikot kasi mahal na mahal nila monty nila.

    VGT din ba sayo??

    regarding the check engine, there are 5 of us in our CoF who owns a montero but none of us encountered problems like you said. obviously, better to have it check sa casa. its not na walang aamin na may problema its just that they havent encountered it yet, and your one of the unfortunate ones who did.

    nakabili na pala.

    TS i hope you know that whichever of the 2 you would have chosen, di naman sila nagkakalayo.

    #1 ang Monty, #2 ang Fortuner.........................sa most carnapped vehicles nationwide. i hope you carry and go to the range regularly sabagay insured naman, ibigay mo na lang kung sakali.

    maganda naman pareho, basta huwag lang yung monty na TCI. yung TCI ang mausok, yung Monty Di-D (2.5 and 3.2) hindi.

    yung 1st gen fort masikip. etong present gen ok na maluwag na, based on the 2013 2.5 fort na nasakyan ko (owned by a friend). di na rin masyado matagtag.
    yung monty ganun pa din, top of the list ng pinakamasikip ang monty. mas maganda suspension kesa sa fort. plus side is madali siya i-park kahit sa masikip na basement parking ng mga condo (compared to fort, that is.)

    yep congrats on your new ride TS :D

    *sleepy - i think na aaminin naman nila yun if they encountered problems lalo na yung CEL to find out who else experienced that kind of problem and to help each other out. Kasi kung bigla lang nag CEL ng walang rason, better pacheck sa casa? or kung may scangauge or obd2 scanner, para malaman yung codes?
    and yess boss VGT 2.5 GLS V and unit namin

    *usernametake - feeling ko lang din na isolated casemdin yung naeexperience nila na CEL? ewan ah.. i haven't experienced that and hopefully never.

    We both love our Monty and Fort <3 :D
