Diyan parang na-influenced din sila ng original fortuner kaya it's no wonder the design looks similar.

Funny. I thought the MUX and the TB DID NOT have it. I googled it, meron pala. I may have chanced on someone who painted their D pillars white. I remember seeing something na may body colored D pillars and naisip ko parang ang luma tingnan hehe.

The floating roof looks very nice on the Explorer.

Did not have ang alin? The same design sa d-pillars, which are also blacked out?

I don't have any idea how it would look like if body colored yun pero I'm sure it wouldn't look so good after all.

Yes, I thought the MUX and the TB did not have the blacked out d pillars. May nakita akong isang TB or MUX na naka body color yung D Pillars hehe.

Apparently hindi stock design yung nakita ko...

Imo, ginawa sigurong ganun yung design para mas malapad siyang tingnan sa likod, based sa observation ko. Pag body colored yun, hindi siguro kasing prominente kumpara sa pag blacked out ang d-pillars.

Yup, front ko may tint, sa December papalitan ko ng light tint yung front.

Planning to buy a gas powered Fortuner this June. Just like to know the observed fuel consumption city/highway. Estimated mileage that it will probably register for a year is about 10k km max. Will it be more cost effective to buy than a diesel in the long run. Thanks in advance

85K lang difference. Go for the diesel if you intend to keep the car longer than 5 years.

Yes, the diesel will be more cost-effective in the long run.

On fuel costs alone, you will break even in less than 3 years. The diesel does around 9 km/L in city driving, while the gas does around 6 km/L. If you travel 10,000 km a year, you save 40k per year.

Resale value for the diesel is also significantly higher. A 5 year old gas-fed Fortuner goes for around 700-750k. A similarly-aged diesel sells for 850-900k. So on top of the fuel savings, you also recoup the initially higher cash outlay later on.

In today's modern times, what would therefore be the advantage of choosing gas over diesel?
