Fortuner: ways to improve the riding comfort. Pls share

[1D4LV]

should be the shocks and spring combo.
but kung no budget, dalawang sako lang ng buhangin lang ang katapat nyan sa likod.

Sell the Fortuner.

Buy a Benz.

Next thread ni TS: !#$*!%^# Benz, ang mahal ng maintenance. Nakatambak nalang sa bahay dahil hindi namin magamit.

But from the observation ni TS, hindi kaya masyado matigas yung tyres/

I'd go for the spring cushion (O-sullee?) and a good set of aftermarket shocks like Old Man Emu.

Seriously though ........ One can only do so much.

Lower tire pressures? You'd end up with under inflated tires + uneven wear.

Its a truck first and foremost, its bound to niggle and jiggle on road irregularities.

+1 there. Deflating tires will just cause extra wear. Not to mention having underinflated tires in the rear only won't be much fun if you're driving down the highway in the rain. Lower inflation pressure equals higher likelihood to slide in the wet. You don't want that sliding to happen at the rear axle.

Best bet really is to suck it up and buy aftermarket springs and shocks and recognize that a ladder frame truck will never be as comfortable as a car.

put a pillow under your ass.

Agree to the low tire pressures. They give this strange, wallowy feel and not really do much to soften the ride.

Sell the Fort, by a Sta. Fe or a Sorento?

[renzo_d10]

Don't set it to 28psi. Parang ang baba naman niyan. Mahirapan ka lang ikutin yung gulong.

Just replace the shocks and inflate the tires normally using Nitrogen. Should help... a bit.

Or buy a bagged Expedition, the early models.

Cheapest way is still to put a pillow on your ass.. and back.. and headrest.

may improvements na po ba ang ride comfort ng new fortuner 4X2 G AT? planning to buy a new one this month.

or do i still need to reserve cash for suspension kit upgrade? ano po best upgrade if ever?

[Wh1stl3r]

I think OME (ARB) has light duty springs for the Fortuner. Doubtful you'll find anything from Eibach, H&R, etc since this is not a global model. Stock spring rate seems too stiff.
