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

[Janemar]

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

This is a reflection of the kinds of road we have here in PH.

Lubak, manhole na walang takip, 2x4 na kahoy or niyog na randomly naiwan sa gitna ng kalsada, humps na pang truck ang sukat at wala marker + naka dark tints ka pa sa gabi, yearly road constructions, rough road sa probinsya, mataas na sidewalk(para makaakyatvat gawing parking lot) and baha pag biglang umulan ng malakas coming from nowhere... Safest choice is PPV.

Nakakasawa na kasi ang yearly pag palit ng tagas na shocks, kalog na tie-rod/ball joint at punit na engine support at suspension bushings...

Bat ganun yung sedan ko naman hindi ako yearly nagpapalit ng suspension bits. Have not even replaced anything after 46,000 km even if I drive mostly on provincial highways with all the road imperfections you mentioned.

Yes, thats given. Got your point. I personally own a couple of sedans too... Still not as strong as ppv.
That's the overall bottomline + macho/big road presence. Pang benta yan sa mga tao. ;)

Depends on the model rin siguro. Had a Mazda 2 hatch before, suspension bits were replaced every 2 years it seemed. Ingat na ingat pa ako dun. But our Honda City never had suspension bits replaced in 3 years. Both were used on rougher than normal roads. C6, EDSA, etc.

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.

Point is well-taken.
In the end, it's still different strokes for different folks.

[igiwtf]

exterior - fortuner
interior + features - montero
reliability - same
maintenance - mas mura toyota

[Radical-One]

Perhaps the solution is to get in-between, Cross.
CX7/9 or Forester?
High enough for flood and strong enough on rough roads but not as bumpy as SUVs.

Hi guys, im having this itch on getting another car.
Hence the title of this thread. I am choosing between the two vehicles only since I already have a 3.2 4x4 Titanium Everest and I am really happy with it.
Now i am in need of a cheaper car as a replacement of my daily car (94 toyota tamaraw fx gl 2c).

I am indecisive of the two since both have pros and cons.
pros
fortuner - better looks
montero - reading good reviews on what a joy it is to drive.

cons
Fortuner - rear drum break
montero - ugly back, "bare" engine layout

Hope that you guys can share me your personal inputs about the 2 choices.

cheers!

in fact parang transformer ang proma ng montero hehe although same lang din porma ng fortuner parang mataba lang ung montero slim mas cute tignan
