Most of the 2018 models have standard rear wheel disc brakes. Would it be feasible to buy the rear wheel discs and calipers from Toyota casa and do a simple swap for rear drum models?
Thank you.

It's possible but I guess not from the dealership.

September 4th, 2017 07:15 AM #8Exactly. For everyday driving, drum brakes on rear are perfectly fine. The stopping power comes almost always from the front wheels unless you're crawling uphill.Don't fix what's not broken ... what's with the obsession to change the brakes? ...

September 4th, 2017 01:34 PM #16That doesn't explain why other brands can offer their cars with rear disc brakes at a cheaper price. *Cough* montero.. *Cough* everest.. Originally Posted by Walter

September 4th, 2017 02:42 PM #18Let's just face the reality that Toyota is milking the local market down to the last Peso.
Another example would be the middle row grab handles. Standard in the Fortuner in Thailand, and all other local PPVs except for the Fortuner. You can have one installed outside the casa for P6000 (original Toyota part).

Remember the 2E engine which Toyota used for 3 generations of the local Corolla?

September 5th, 2017 10:25 AM #20Are the disc brakes of the 2018 Fortuner V the same size as the G? Or G is smaller because of smaller wheels?
