2016 Toyota Fortuner

[mark405]

mga Guru,

turbo diesel ba yung mga Fort natin?

Diesel Fortuners are all turbocharged. Diesel engines that aren't turbocharged are very rare because they would be inefficient and weak. The only one I can think of is the Adventure's 2.5 liter diesel engine.

Yes Sir, enhanced turbo diesel yung latest fort. Smaller engine than its predecessor but more powerful yet more efficient and more economical.

aaa ok.. medyo na gulat kasi ako sa ka-opisina ko na naka Monty.. requirement daw ng Turbo diesel engine ay fully synthetic oil.
balak ko kasi mag mineral oil sa next PMS.

currently naka fully synthetic ako.

tapos pag Turbo diesel engine daw dapat di basta basta pinapatay yung makina mga 1min daw before patayin.
practice ko kasi in between 30secs to 1min pinapatay ko na ang makina pag naka park na ako.

Hi Fortuner owners, marami nagsasabi matagtag daw ang Fort. Totoo ba?

I don't own one but regularly ride shotgun passenger on certain days. Short trips wouldn't be a problem, but long trips might want to make you wish you were riding another car, depending on your tolerance. The setup is stiffer compared to vehicles on its class (regularly rides a montero too). The MS feels like it has more 'cushion' compared to the fort.

Isuzu Alterra - me and family do not have any complaint in terms of tagtag.

Thanks for the insights...

I am ready to buy a Fort since last Dec and only got delayed by the inavailability of the units up to now. When I started mentioning to some people in the office, friends and even guys at the car wash, they all said sobrang tagtag.

I don't own a 1st gen Fort but was able to ride my boss' 2007 model. It was like riding a pick-up, hard and bumpy. Now I own a 2017 model and the ride is okay with me, somewhat similar with my previous Innova. It may not be as soft as a Monty but definitely not hard like the 1st gen Fort.

ah so youve experienced a ladder frame based suv. fort is matagtag(if the road is bad). 3rd row long rides are painful(especially sa provincial road na meron cement and expansion joints). some of my cousins dont complain like me. you can test drive or rent one to experience the ride.

if youll use it sa metro manila with good roads it isnt too bad. sa expressway na maganda ang asphalt it isnt bad.

Even for long haul trips?

Ask your friends for a ride. Try the shotgun seat and 2nd row. Preferably both on a long and a short trip. There's still a cushion there albeit it feels sharp. I don't think there'd be a problem as long as the driver knows the vehicle's limits.. You need to see it for yourself to form a decision.

Thanks bro - I have been requesting for a test drive from Toyota Pasig since early December but wala pa raw test drive unit. Besides, hanggang 50 kph lang ang allowed and within the area lang..

Even for long haul trips?

Yes, so far no complaint from my wife & children. It's relatively new, so the logest trip was from Los Banos to QC (about 68 kms).

It would be best if you can try one yourself as individuals have different tolerances when it comes to riding comfort.

Solid ang ride niya kahit compare sa 2011 na dmax. Hehehe. Nung na drive ko dmax kagabi nanibago ako, mas ma feel mo ang road sa fort. Pero ibat iba kasi ang taste bawat tao, for me okay na okay na ako sa fort ko. [emoji51]

For me matagtag fortuner natin, nasanay na kasi ako sa sedan hehehe but di mo mapansin if your fully loaded, mga anak ko pa naman malalaki, kaya di masyado bumpy, pero pag dalawa lng kami ni misis ay sus, ramdam na ramdam ko kahit konting lubak.

Went out of town last Jan 1 sa isang rest house ng family friend namin, didn't know na medyo mataas and madulas and maputik ang road going up sa house nila and it was raining, at first nahirapan fortuner umakyat, fault was mine kasi I admit, medyo natakot ako kasi when I applied the brake, yung fort umaabante pa rin bcoz the road was already muddy and also bcoz kasama ko mga kids sa loob and baka ma disgrasya, nung nakita ng driver ng friend namin na nahirapan ako, he took over and just one try nakaakyat nya na walang kahirap-hirap, the challenge was when pauwi na kasi the driver was not there and I was force to drive it by myself, jezz, during that time I wish I bought the 4x4 hahahaha, hirap pala mag control if the road is muddy na, yung LC ng friend namin walang kahirap-hirap bumababa at umakyat.

sabi sa manual (page 297):

idling time before engine stop (diesel engine other than 5L-E engine)

To prevent damage to the turbocharger, allow the engine to idle immediately after high-load driving.

i.e.
- Normal city driving or high-speed driving (at the highway speed limit or recommend speed) ==> Not necessary
- Steep hill driving, continuous driving (race track driving etc.), or towing a trailer or another vehicle (with towing hitch) ==> Approximately 1 minute

the manual said that? that after (sustained) high-speed driving, no need to idle for one minute before engine off?
