Ford Everest 2015

[gomez_ea2]

Sir just a correction:

Negative offset = labas sa fender
Positive offset = pasok sa fender

Hth ;)

Higher + number (+18), mas pasok pa compared sa lower + number (+12) na halos pantay sa fender?

ONGOING REVIEW OF TITANIUM 3.2 PREMIUM...

after the first 1000km PM aba what a very pleasant surprise. the "mabigat" feeling of the vehicle is gone. wala na yung parang kakapusin ka sa overtake kasi feeling na so heavy yung car at kulang ang power. no more! lakas ng makina ngayon and the transmission is more responsive. where before i found it hard to get the tranny to downshift ngayon willing na willing na siya to rev up. also di na kapos ang power. there are 5 adults and 2 kids plus a weekend of luggage (wala kami luggage before) and may kasama pa kami na tour guide (so make that 6 adults and 2 kids) but now parang sisiw na mag overtake. so take back that first review i made!

my only guess is that they set the ecu on "tameme" mode during the first 1000km and then set it to full power during the 1000km pm. laki talaga ng difference from before and now. very pleasant surprise talaga! i was overtaking like mad on the mountain road between lingayen and alaminos

yan din feeling ko ngayon sa everest namin mabigat at parang hirap yung makina umarangkada, ipinacheck namin sa ford manila bay sabi nila wala naman daw silang nakita problem sa unit, maliban sa diesel na kinarga, shift daw ako sa shell nitro diesel yun daw kasi recommended ng ford na fuel. san po bang dealer kayo nag pa pms sir? nairelate nyo po ba yung concern nyo sa kanila kayo may binago sila sa ecu?

Yes. But if you're comparing wheels of different widths medyo complicated din bro.

Ex:
wheel A - 20x9, 0 offset
vs
wheel B - 20x10 wheel, +10 offset

Assuming the lip of wheel A is flush to the fender, wheel B will be slightly flush to the fender, labas ng 2-3mm. This is because the 1" or about 2.2cm difference in wheel width is distributed to the left and right of the wheel, but the centerline or offset of the wheel is pushed inside by 10mm.

And we are not yet talking about the tire sizing. He he

Gets bro?

Btw OT na to. Madaming info sa internet about wheel & tire upgrading, upsizing, correction. ;)

Kuha ko n sir, thanks.

Yebo, un na nga nakikita ko na paraan para pag nagpalit ng wheels, bago na ung tpms sensor, sacrifice lang sa presyo, any idea kung magkano?

ford bgc. wala naman ako sinabi sa kanila maliban dun sa sinisinok pag naka-idle. it turned out aircon compressor kicking in and out pala.

unioil diesel gamit ko. kung fuel ang reason then stay away from shell fuel save. mura nga mababa naman power at mabilis maubos compared to others. yung nitro diesel nila nasubukan ko 2 weeks ago it does not make any difference from the unioil diesel i am using now. actually mas nagagandahan pa ako sa unioil diesel kesa sa shell nitro.

Sir yebo, so normal lang ung may sinok?

[nirvblakr]

thank you sir. comparing it with other ladder frame SUVs is indeed more meaningful. problem is i have very limited experience with those SUVs having driven them sparingly before, them being owned by relatives. your feedback is indeed very helpful. hope others can chime in as well. marami pong salamat.

First time I rode at the third row of my titanium. Matagtag nga sya. First and second row di masyadong ramdam. But after awhile I got used to it.

So pili ka nalang....porma o ride comfort?

I just dunno if changing tires from 50 to 55 series would change the ride comfort of the Titanium

Hirap mag decide, friends and family members have no positive feedbacks with ford. Only one of them had a 1st gen eve and the others had different ford models.

The common denominator with them is that ford has expensive upkeep compared to the fortuner. Because if that is the case, then i might just get the fort instead even though i find the eve more appealing in the looks department.

Ako na sasagot nyan. Naka 275/55r20 na ako, ok na nabawasan ang tagtag. Almost same na sila ng ride feel ng 18s ng trend variant. Mataas pa pressure naka 38 psi ako ngayon. Last friday morning naka 35 psi lang nagreklamo misis ko maalon na daw sobra lambot na.

They might not have experienced that the PMS interval of Ford nowadays is every 10,000 kms or 6 months which ever comes first. I have positive feedback sa Ford (We owned an Expedition before the Mustang). Never gave us headaches except that it drinks fuel like a thirsty guy in the desert. Parts isn't as cheap as a Toyota and a Mitsubishi but the good thing there's MazFord in Banawe that is a source of cheap parts of Ford. Significantly cheaper than casa prices.

Problem with the Fortuner, it's not as value for money as before. Toyota is short changing the market with their offerings. For me, the choices are the Everest and the Montero. Stick with the Everest if you want all factory installed features (the Montero sources its headunit from Winterpine, using an AVT headunit with car info).
