Toyota Fortuner 2.4 4x2 V vs Mitsubishi Montero 2.4 GLS Premium 4x2

In our case, we get nauseous with the previous gen Montero's ride. My brother in law already swapped his suspension to aftermarket ones for his wife and 1 yr old baby. Previous gen Fort was jarring but I found it acceptable.

I also prefer the prev gen Fortuner's stiffer ride compared to the prev gen Montero's floaty ride. The Montero nose dives very heavily under braking, with lots of body roll even with slight turns.

On the topic of ride quality, I think vinj nailed it with choosing the right platform. People don't want matagtag but get pickup-based SUVs???? WTF.

In our experience naman hindi kinaya ng likod ng mom ko iyong tagtag ng fortuner sa likod. Her back would explode w/ pain especially during long rides

to be or not to be, that always confuses me!

I dont have backpain but i do feel the hard suspension on the 3rd row. I complained that time- sakit sa ulo. We went from manila to pangasinan that time. Going back sa harap na ako 😊

Nasanay kasi pinoy gusto na malaki sasakyan na mumurahin.

Kaya magkotse na lang kasi kayo kung maselan sa tagtag. Yun nga lang maliit ang sedan/hatch pag ikumpara sa suv. Price range ngayon mga kotse-kotsehan magaganda around 800thou to 1.2million

Kung may kwarta naman go for explorer or fj yan ang tunay na family suv not cheapy cheapy.

Kung madalas naman nasa probinsya, okay na rin amg PPVs. Sagasaan mo lahat ng lubak, dire diretso ka lang heheh.

Mukhang di nagkakalayo priority sa pagbili ang dating ng kotse sa ride comfort. Wala talaga gusto ng innova hehe

I think it's about having the least tagtag among the choices.

You need (for whatever reason) an SUV but you want the most comfortable one.
It's like you're hungry and you have chips in front of you. So you end up choosing the one with the least sodium and calories.

Yeah I agree, it's perfectly understandable to consider comfort when deciding.

But following your example, it's a given that no brand of chips can even come close to the healthiness of fruits. It's about knowing the limitations of the platform.

And if comfort is such an important priority that the relatively minor difference between a soft-riding MUX and a stiff Fortuner matters so much then the buyer might want to reconsider the whole PPV route altogether.
