September 26th, 2005 02:57 PM #14I dunno who said this... But, this is wrong. All Fortuner variants have ABS. Only the Hilux and Innova don't have ABS.

September 26th, 2005 03:07 PM #15Sorento is a great looking SUV, with several awards to boast. I even almost bought one last April if not the Fortuner coming in May, I decided to wait. eventually I bought the Fortuner. no regrets.
People are still having second thoughts on parting 1.3M of hard earned money on a brand that still needs to be up to pars with Japanese carmakers.
Thats just my opinion.

The Rexton is good if you like something with a Mercedes Benz drivetrain and other major bits. The latest batch of Rextons use the 2.7CRDi engine of the Grand Cherookee and MB ML270 CDI.

I am not going to wait 8 months for a Fortuner...

just to be clear (hehe), the Fortuner has the Torsen LSD on its center diff. off-road where you'd be locking the center diff anyway, the Sorento will have some traction (discounting the tires) advantage by way of an LSD in the rear diff.
Sorento looks good in green with pewter accent. hehe.

In addition to what mbt has said, a Center Diff is not installed to improve off-road performance. It is there to enable fulltime 4wd operation.
Off road, when traction demands are higher, you will have to lock the C/D and be in 'direct drive' mode with no differential effect.
On the Sorento and other on-demand 4wd systems, there is no center diff because the moment you go into four wheel drive you are already in a 'direct drive' state.
The LSD is a traction enhancing device. Though nowadays, very few manufacturers offer them since only a fraction of new 4x4's ever go off-road. Even fewer manufacturers offer fully locking rear diffs.
