I'm sold on the new 4 x 2G Hilux, but I also like the new Innova. My bike also looks more secure inside an Innova than a pickup with a hard top. However, with the floods and bad roads I'm still going to need the Hilux.
Anyway feedback from users who use their Innova in rough conditions?
Nag lalabasan na mga Innovas. Ang conio na ng itsura (pati presyo) talaga. I wonder if it'll still have the hotel service tag since di na sya 'kasing sulit", if the rumors are true na the Eve will have a price increase I might just opt for a V

Pwede kayang palitan yun liter per 100 km na fuel consumption reading to km per liter sa MID ng E variant?

Thanks flux214. I will read the manual pag not busy na. I have a new concern sa inno ko na AT. Pag nilagay ko sa park there are times pag ilalagay na sa reverse matigas ang kambyo and may thud sound. Nakaapak naman ako sa brake while doing that. Similar sya sa pag huminto ka sa medyo inclined ang kalsada at nilagay mo sa P without using handbrake and releasing foot brake. D ba mahirap ilagay sa R

Hi,
I'm kinda torn between the Hilux and Innova. I just realized its hard to carry bikes on a flat bed hilux, while the innova will accommodate two whole bikes inside. Aside from that, its going to be hard to carry a surfboard on the Hilux too, while the innova you just attach a rack. However, I also need a vehicle that can go semi off road with good flood wading capabilities in metro manila flood, so my question is, how big can the innova go with the wheel upgrades and how will this affect performance and road safety?
Thanks!
The Toyota Innova would be able to handle semi-offroad conditions. Still the most practical vehicle one can buy. Plus it has a larger 2.8 engine albiet detuned for fuel efficiency.
I also follow that thread including the jerky trans but havent yet seen the same like my concern. Im aware of shift shock but this is different. Shift shock din sort of but stationary. When manually shifting the gear from P to R. Minsan matigas kahit nakaapak naman ako sa brake. Parang nag lock yung gear when in park ( P) and you didnt pull the handbrake. Not all the time though minsan ok naman

The Innova has a 500mm wading depth while the Hilux has 700mm, though the Innova already has better flood fording capabilities than most CUVs.
For really high floods, the best course of action is to wait it out or find another route. The usual half-wheel deep floods that follow a strong rainshower can easily be handled by the Innova.
It looks like you're considering the Hilux only because of the additional height, but the Innova is a better fit for all your other needs.
The last time I actually forded a flood was Ondoy, using our Altis where the water reached as high as the front parking sensors. When I got a Ranger in 2013, I was so excited to ford metro floods with it. The chance never came, highest was gutter deep floods in Makati when I was coming home from the office one night. Point is - yes, the metro becomes a basin during strong rains, but you don't experience prohibitively high floods on a regular basis, and you can always opt to avoid them.

I don't know the exact limits but the Innova has narrower wheel wells than the Hilux/Fort. My friend has 225/45 R18 tires on his Innova, I'm not sure if you can go wider than that without exceeding the wheel wells.
I also haven't seen Innovas with AT tires, mostly passenger tires, but you could try...
If it's any consolation, I just brought an all-stock Innova E to a mining site last week and it didn't get stuck. Mud was dry and packed though - rain and loose mud will definitely be a different scenario.
