2016 Toyota Fortuner

[minicarph]

Eto naman the same reviewers reviewing the Fortuner. Walang ingat, sagasa lang sagasa sa trail



Versus this one, the same reviewers pero tignan mo naman video halos puro patag na trail and yet they are very cautious in the video and very diplomatic sa words so ss not to offend Mitsubushi Australia siguro. Ang daldal nun reviewer hindi naman tinatackle yun 4x4 festures kungdi. Spec sheet halfway thru the video . Pero yun nga notice the tone of the reviewer in this video. Somewhat apprehensive. Eh kung totally confident sya sa dina-drive sagasa lang as the previous video

Even with out discount . I would get montero 4x4 than fortuner . Its far more advance. Its a fulltime 4wd not like fortuner. Mitsubishi has a legacy of 4x4 in dakar race. Besides all major trail cannot be run by either of all stock 4x4. Major upgrade din kailangan lift. Change tire steel bumper. Etc. and yes check the australian review on 4x4 capability. Before you claim what you claim for.

That's you. 28k Fortuners vs 9k Monteros means the majority have shifted to Toyota.

Remember from 2009-2012 the Montero was outselling the Fortuner. 2013 and 2014 it was a neck and neck battle. 2015, the old Fortuner already edged out the old Montero. In 2016, both with new models, the Fortuner absolutely murdered the Montero when it came to sales.

No doubt the Montero is a capable 4x4. That's not the reason it's not selling. It also has a superb engine, soft ride, and lots of toys considering that it's now very cheap thanks to discounts. Unfortunately, those are not enough to overcome the SUA stigma and the ugly rear which are the main factors why it lags even behind the Everest and MUX.

The Fortuner is overpriced, underspec'd, and has a stiffer ride than other PPVs, yet still sells because it looks good to many people, and Toyota has generally been able to live up to the public's perception regarding its reliability, longevity, and ease of maintenance.

Agree with bro.jut on those I highlighted....

[I own a Nov 2015 MS,- just before they changed model... No plate still.... but that's another story]

If I were to buy an SUV (hehe) today, I would choose the Fortuner over the MS, not because of the fear of the SUA,- which I think is just a marketing shove(and who was behind it- your guess is as good as mine), but because the ugly rear does not sink well with me.... [lalo na ng sinabi ni bro.kagalingan na saklay...]

Again, people have become insensitive to those features that are 'lacking' and the tagtag issue, as the latter will grow into them sooner or later anyway...

My wife and I test drove both the new Montero and the new Fortuner. While indeed the Montero really has the best bang for your buck, we still opted to get the Fortuner. Main reasons were more room upfront due to conventional center dash layout, wider space in the 2nd row (more space with 2 car seats compared to Montero).

Additionally, I repeatedly asked if my wife felt the ride of the Fortuner was harsh/stiff, and she said no. Note that we are currently using the previous Montero (2009), and she has ridden on the previous gen Fortuner as well. At the end of the day, happy wife, happy life hehehe, and I also personally felt that the ride isn't as stiff as I've been reading in the forums/FB groups.

mga sir, newbie here. mahaba haba na rin yung nabasa ko sa thread na to. may itatanong lang ako regarding sa TPMS. AFAIK, wala sa kahit anong trim level ang meron nito dito sa PH pero sa Thailand meron, yung pinaka sensor lang ba sa tires ang wala? kasi kung ayun lang pwede ba kong bumili na lang sa casa o sa labas ng sensor mismo tapos ililink lang siya sa system ng auto? or yung sa Thailand sa headunit nakalink yung TPMS at dahil iba yung headunit dito hindi pwede dahil walang TPMS feature yung headunit na narelease dito. salamat!

[vinrem]

I think yung sa Thailand na head unit naka link na sa TPMS, you can buy it separately na lng, yung di na kailangan naka link pa sa head unit, I'm using one on my Mazda 3.

kwento ko lang din yung experience ko sa dealership ng Mitsubishi, I was supposed to test drive yung 4x2 premium nila tapos nakasakay na ko, hindi kame natuloy ni SA kase ayaw umandar. may error na lumabas na "electronic parking break needs servicing" doon ako na disappoint. Imagine mangyari sayo yun, hindi ka makakauwi ng bahay kung saan ka nakapark. the quality of interior din super na disappoint ako sa plastic lalo na doon sa mga pinto. nagtatalo nga kame ng kapatid ko kase nadala na siya sa Mitsubishi, yung Montero 2011 namin sobrang burado agad yung mga chrome accents. ako lang pumilit sa kanya to give another chance haha pero ayun pa nangyari. ayaw umandar ng test drive unit. We were down to Eve vs. Fort. Super impress talaga ko sa interior ng Eve lalo na yung Titanium+. I prefer the beige interior of 2016. Kaso, may bad experience din kame with Ford. My first car was Ford Focus Ghia sobrang mahal ng maintenance, pahirapan pa sa parts. Doon nag tapos ang laban, Toyota won us. Kung meron lang sana ang Honda pang tapat sa Fort (yung 7 seater nila sobrang liit) I will lean towards Honda. My 2010 Jazz's interior still looks new sobrang happy with Honda and Toyota. Sorry if off topic, paki delete na lang if way too off topic.

[jaggerx3]

What I like sa Toyota ay ang interior. And yung stock audio okay na okay for me. I don't know sa Montero. But i find the older one cheap plastic yung interior.
Btt: choosing between 4x4 Fort and Montero. In the next 2 years I'll be joining this segment

ayon lang sir, mejo purist kase ako. haha. hindi ba mavovoid ang warranty pag nag add ako ng TPMS na naka hardwire sa fusebox? ang gusto ko kase if wala talagang choice eh yung TPMS na nasa spare dash slots lang. salamat

[minicarph]

I guess that's settled then. Fortuner is the best car in this segment and since it has the highest sales figures, only shows that the buyers are also smart. They do their own research and they do watch the Australian outback reviews.

Like I said, underpriced ang Fortuner. it is the only PPV that is comparable in performance sa mga tig 2M - 3M na SUVs like the Pajero and LC Prado. So basically, swerte ang mga bumibile ngaun neto coz once the head of Metrobank read these findings dito sa thread, talagang itataas na nya yan Fortuner lol. So better buy now while you still enjoy the value for money.

In my case, Montero pa din bibilin ko. Eh ang hanap ko lang naman replacement sa CRV ko. Im for the comfort as well as the good FC benefits of diesel. Montero is the softest rider among the bunch for creature comforts talaga. In that sense, solb na solb na ang GLS Premium 4x2. But the Montero GT TOTL at 1.7M after discounts, wow the best yun if one is to occassionally visit tagaytay or Baguio like 12 times a year. But to use it sa trail, i'll never risk it.

The Montero has so much of the older model...same shallow floor where you are forced to adjust back the seats, same rear fold third row with little legroom. And the uncommon start button location as if it was placed there as an afterthought...

Yup, and the Fortuner's interior even at G spec felt more well built IMO.

Bro.,- akala ko ayaw mo sa MS, dahil may "2 saklay" sa ilaw sa likod?

Bakit ngayon bibilhin mo na siya?

Ano'ng nangyari?

Baka mabago na rin next purchase ko... 😉😍😆

[minicarph]

Fafa, sa totoo lang maka-Montero ako. Dami nagagalit sakin sa Montero thread coz I somehow favor the Fortuner. Pero para sakin di ko naman need dursbility ng Fortuner kasi andami-andami naka-fortuner sobra umay na. Gusto ko lang sila gumastos ng mas malaki by convincing them to get the more expensive Fortuner, para kay MyPres Du30, para tumaas lalo credit rating at GDP natin ngaun 2017

Im buying montero because i want a 4x4 which fortuner dont have what i was looking a full time 4x4. Luckyly because os sua issue though never been proven. The price of 4x4 drop to 1750k price of 2.4 v. Because of sua . I was more certain that it wont have any sua issue on the montero anymore. Bec of sua there are few on the road mas d nakakaumay.

Sabi nga nila, to each his own. I used to like the montero even with the melting tail lights. Pero the more i look at it, especially the side profile pumapanget sa paningin ko. Too tall and narrow looking. I think the vertical lights accentuated the narrowness of the vehicle. Gusto pa naman namin ng puti, eh parang ambulansya ang dating. I like the front of Monty, no complain about that. Sana lang hindi tuluyang mapagiwanan sa sales ang Monty dahil for sure sa mga facelifted version ng mga upcoming PPVs, kung sobrang benta ng hubad na hubad na Fort what more na lang yung mga dadating upcoming year na facelifted version na mas marami ng techs paano pa kaya? Lalo sila maiiwan at in the future mahirap humanap ng pyesa kase konti ang market. Sana pumalagpalag naman si Monty sa sales vs. Fort ng di kampante si Toyota. Haha
