    Fortuner 4x2 2.5AT or 4x4 3.0AT
    Please help me choose. For me I choose 4x2 coz hindi naman us madalas mag off road siguro once a year lang pag pumunta ng Aurora, Zamboanga lugar ni misis. Sabi naman ni misis why not 4x4 na lang who knows daw baka mag off road us. most of the time city driving lang talaga. Question mas okey bang 2.5 kayang kaya bang dalhin nya ang kaha ng hindi hirap. 3kids lang naman at misis ko ang laman. Alin bang mas fuel efficiency sa dalawa.....

    delikado ang fortuner, dami nang pinatay na owners nyan sa carjack incidents.

    For diesel: 4x4 CRDI SantaFe. Global model car, 5-star crash test rating, very fast but economical.

    For petrol: 4x4 V6 SantaFe or 4x4 V6 Outlander.

    The 4x2 is adequate for city driving. Mahihirapan lang sya kung pataas or incline ang daan at lalo na kung puno ang sasakyan.

    The 4x2 is more fuel efficient since it does not have the added weight of the 4x4 transfer case.

    Get the 4x4 only if you plan to pass by slippery surfaces ie. maputik at madulas na daanan. Other than that, save money and go for the 4x2 instead.

    Means to say ba na kayang kaya nyang dalhin ang six to seven passenger. How about going baguio kase meron ganong daan dito kung papunta kami ng Zamboanga galing davao atleast ones a year kami kung pumunta. Fortuner 4x2 2.5AT.... pa rin....

    I find the 2.5 lacking in power, especially when overtaking.

    It's more than adequate for city driving though.

    The Santa Fe is a very good alternative, that is if you can get over the brand.

    I have a friend who has a 2005 Fortuner 2.5 D-4D 4x2. Well according, it is quite underpowered going up in Baguio. I dont know for sure....I think its subjective. There must be a good reason why Toyota also allowed this same engine (2KD-FTV) to be used in a similarly passenger heavy payload vehicle like the Hi-Ace series (Commuter, Grandia GL, and Super Grandia).

    What is your average yearly mileage? How long do you plan to keep your vehicle? These factors are important when I did the math on mine.

    Again, why not the Everest sir? Its a more comfortable ride and its a capable off-road vehicle.

    Kung Fortuner talaga type mo(ganda kasi talaga itsura e), 4x4 na lang kung may budget naman na pandagdag. It's better to have the functionality when you need it. E kung yong yearly na pagpunta nyo ng Aurora, nalubak isang gulong mo at di maka-ahon at dis-oras na ng gabi at umuulan/bumabagyo/lumilindol. Kung naka 4x4 ka, kayang kaya nun umahon Kung 4x2 lang, baka maghintay pa kayo ng siyam-siyam ng hahatak. Minsan nga lang sa isang taon possibility, pero hassle pa rin di ba? Parang hepa, buti na yong nagpaturok na ng anti-hepa vaccine

    At samantalahin habang may go-signal si misis Madalas mga misis kasi importante makarating lang sa point A to B, hirap explain sa kanila ang feature ng CVT, 4X4, snorkel, etc. pag may additional cost na pinag-uusapan.

    if there's a 2.5 m/t 4X2 fortuner pwede na. lalo na kung pati 3.0 4X4.

    bakit kasi walang m/t ang fortuner samantalang ang hi-lux, innova at hi-ace d4-ds ay meron?

    di tuloy makabili kahit utang

    on the topic:

    Fortuner:

    4x4 V 3.0 D4D - 163hp, 340 nm of Torque - P 1,663,000.00, sure winner
    4x2 G 2.5 D4D - 102 hp, 260 nm of Torque - P 1,413,000.00, the least to me, Toyota should start doing something.

    consider:

    Everest:

    4x4 3.0 Duratorque - 154hp, 380 nm of Torque - P 1,580,000.00
    4x2 2.5 Duratorque - 141 hp, 330 nm of Torque - P 1,282,000.00

    cheaper and they said better than the Fort for off-roading,
    plus the better ride and comfort.

    Impressive specs sa Everest.

    Pero alam mo naman sa kotse, marami pa rin ang bibili dahil sa brand at porma. Ika nga eh, most buy with their heart not with their brains.

    Parang damit yan. People buy yung maganda and astig ang brand, kahit hindi comfortable.

    Mga Pare,

    Kami ni misis ang nagbabasa ng mga inputs and suggestion's na tumugon sa kahilingan ko.... Maraming Salamat sa lahat.
    Marami na kaming pinagpipilian actually alterra,everest,sportivo and fortuner pero looks like me and my wife agree on one brand ang Fortuner but this time dahil sa mga advice nyo 4x4 3.0 na. Hindi naman malayo sa everest ang torque nya... "mostly go for Heart not their brains" hindi naman siguro masama just this case 'di ba... If eg. piliin namin ang everest or sta.fe hindi mo rin gaanong ma appreciate dahil this is not really ur choice makakarinig ka pang dapat fortuner na lang kinuha mo infact theres no perfect car hindi ba .....Lypsid salamat .... Thanks all
