fortuner 2.5 D4d or 2.7vvti

[docglen]

which is better? fortuner 2.5 diesel or 2.7 gas?

2.7 vvt-i (gas) no contest. Much more power. No sludge problems. And it's also cheaper. Advantage lang ng 2.5 d4d (diesel) is in the mileage department.

how much fuel consumption ng 2.7li engine nito? if i remember it correctly it's almost similar to the 2.4li engine used by previa or RAV4?

[oldblue]

i agree. 2.7vvti best choice sa dalawa. even sa 3.0D4D, mas ok pa din 2.7vvti in terms of investment, coz you automatically get 300k worth of gasoline

how much fuel consumption ng 2.7li engine nito? if i remember it correctly it's almost similar to the 2.4li engine used by previa or RAV4?

2.7 vvti can do 5-6 km/l in traffic.

The 2.4li on the new Rav4 is a different engine with better fuel mileage. According to tests, it can do 10 km/li.

The 2.5 gives better mileage, but it's sluggish. The 2.7's mileage is liveable, and it's quick.

yup you can never go wrong with the vvti -> toyota's "flagship". buy a car accdg. to manufacturer's strengths. diesel and Toyota -> medyo infant stage pa.

Gas engines are generally cheaper to maintain than their diesel counterparts. You are right sir picking the fort than the rav4 or crv. It's a class higher and can seat 7.[emoji4]

I don't agree that pickup based SUVs are a class higher than CUVs. The interior build quality of a Fortuner/Montero is nowhere as good as that of a Forester/CX5. Driving dynamics, ride comfort and handling are also incomparable. While pickup based SUVs have more horsepower, CUVs aren't outclassed when it comes to acceleration because they're lighter (don't get me started on the FXT), and have much better braking.

They cater to different buyers' preferences. But personally I think that someone driving an FXT is way classier than a guy driving a TOTL Fortuner, Montero, or Trailblazer.

I have a 9 yr old Fort 2.7 vvti since new. Since its a low mileage vehicle, to this day the only maintenance it needs is the annual oil change (fully synth + fleetguard filter). There is no need to replace the stock spark plugs too frequently.

I also only use Petron Blaze 100 bec. of my distaste for ethanol and as well I get better response from the engine vs. using watered down gasoline (ethanol).
