    Good day sir!

    Best one for me is the 2.5G VNT A/T. you get 144HP & 343Nm of torque. the A/T mated to the engine is better compared to it's manual version imo. The M/T somewhat accelerates sluggishly on the low gears. regarding FC, the A/T would net you an average of about 8-10km/L.

    2.5 VNT A/T would have been great if it came with the 5 speed like in Thailand. Unfortunately, the one we have here is still stuck in 4 speed (even if its already the new VNT 2.5).

    If in the market for any Fortuner diesel variants now, best to wait for TMP's next year updates. Significant update: 5 speed A/T for all diesel variants (except 5 MT variant) and the 3.0li gets a power boost.

    will there be an upgrade option for the 2012 non-vnt fortuners?

    like selling the vnt/intercooler/etc and install for a fee.

    AFAIK that's not possible.. yet. Just to make sure I'll ask our parts manager if one can buy all the VNT stuff and install it on the non-vnt engine. But there's one thing Im sure of, that it'll cost you a lot.

    *wilcats well said might as well buy the whole car, and kung out of the box is non VNT leave it as is, yun modifications diyan nag uumpisa ang sakit sa ulo.

    ^He probably modified the rear bumper. or he reverted to the old bumper design.

    Saw one rin modified his tail lights naman. He just tinted the upper part red eliminating that "lexus altezza" look. Big improvement.

    Just upgrade you're engine if you're planning to do that. For example, chip it.

    The 2.5 non vnt fortuner is pretty adequate, Toyota shouldn't have removed it honestly. No news yet on the 2.5 vnt's fuel consumption but that particular unit's the sweet spot for prospective fortuner buyers.
