1. Looks - depends on the person looking at it
Comfort - is there such a thing in ladder frame SUV's? :bwahaha: TBZ's ride is better though.

2. Speed - TBZ no contest 200hp says it all.

3. Safety - both cars didn't go through any crash safety test so they're pretty much the same.

4. Maintenance - Fortuner since it's a toyota parts would be easier to find and cheaper

if you're willing to risk it get a TBZ, more comfortable, more powerful, better handling and more leg room than both the fortuner and montero sport.

Go for fortuner if you will need the strong ang solid performance of high mileage driving. Pang heavy duty talaga.

Go for trailblazer if you choose comfort over toughness. Maintenance cost almost double with Chevy.

We have a montero and a fortuner. Montero rides better. I love the good visibility of the montero. What I don't like is the electronic throttle of the montero gas pedal. Artificial yung acceleration control. Just a slight touch to it will speed up your vehicle from standstill. Delikado pag traffic. Maybe it needed some adjustment from casa.

I own a fortuner and am very happy with it. Worry ko lang for you, though, is if you get a fortuner now, baka by next year lumang modelo na (meaning may next gen fortuner na agad).

Pag traffic, why would you touch the accelerator right away, slight lift muna sa brake of course.

My first brand new car

My first brand new car
By James Deakin | Wheel Power – 23 hours ago

Just yesterday, I got to experience one of life's biggest joys––the delivery of my first brand new car in 18 years. Might seem odd to some seeing that I pick up a brand new car every week, but it is different when its yours. Just ask an OB-Gyn. It is the classic hallmark moment and is as close as it gets to pacing up and down the hallway outside the delivery room when you’re expecting your first child––no matter how many babies you've delivered before that.
After all, this is not just a car that we have bought; it's independence. It symbolises all the hard work and sacrifices our family has made over the years and is most likely going to be the second biggest investment we will make in our lives. I haven’t slept properly in days just dreaming about it, and yesterday, I was finally able to live that dream. If I could've hit the pause button in life, 4:14pm of Friday Feb 21, would have been a perfect time.
The president of the company personally came over to deliver the car. So did his senior vice president. They even a made personalised cake. It was perfect. How I wish everyone could experience this, even just once in their life.
Taking delivery of my first brand new car
As soon as I posted the picture of my car on Facebook page, I got hit with a deluge of messages––both private and public––asking me what made me choose the Trailblazer over the country's top selling models?
A fair question, considering my profession, so to try and clear things up once and for all, I'll share the reasons I posted on Facebook to my family and friends.
Firstly, it has best-in-class power and torque: My Wildtrak that I had to hand back recently held that title when I first got it. And it's habit forming. So when Chevy answered back with their newly bumped up 200 bhp and 500nm of torque, I was drawn in like a politician to pork.
Also, the Trailblazer features the best-in-class water wading depth in the 7 seater diesel SUV segment. If I need to explain why that is important, you have obviously never spent a rainy season in the Philippines.
It is not the best selling car in its class: Yes, somehow that becomes a selling point for me. The Montero Sport and the Fortuner are not market leaders for no reason, but aside for my soft spot an underdog, I prefer to have a vehicle that not everyone has. It helps a lot in parking lots.
My Link: Yes, I know, you shouldn’t choose a car for its stereo, but this is way more than that. This is a highly interactive, customisable infotainment system that basically integrates your mobile device with your car, allowing you to sync everything, including your multimedia files. I’m a sucker for that. It even comes with a built in speed limiter (you choose the photo)
My Link comes with an in-built speed limiter. You just need to choose the photograph
Best in class ride and NVH: The others have improved dramatically, but the Trailblazer is still the only one in its class to sit on the next generation platform that has been designed from the ground up to reduce the noise vibration and harshness that is normally inherent in a pick up platform. It’s no longer truck like. Just drive an old Ranger back to back with the new T6 and you’ll know what I’m talking about.
The fact that it is technically the biggest in its class, with the longest warranty, and is still the only one to offer a six speed auto, plus a hill descent control and an electronic 4X4 drive control that I’ll never use, are just bonuses.

The beauty about car ownership is it is very personal. Many experts will tell you never to buy brand new and they are quite right. But as I drove out of the dealership yesterday, my face hurting from smiling so much, running my hands over the dash and every other surface I could touch, just to make sure it was all real and I wasn't dreaming, I thought about that for a moment. Yes the experts may be right that it may lose anywhere from 10-15% of its value just on the ride home, but none of them have been able to put a price on what I'm feeling now.

My only comment with the TBZ is that i've seen some brand new units smoke some brownish black elements under sudden hard acceleration as well. Hope it's nothing major.

Fortuner tested in reliability. Tbz had so many features that you don't need that will turn out to be so many problem. 3.0v max speed can reach 190kph but most of the road or hi way had a max speed of 100 kph.

[wilcats]

Fortuner. For your peace of mind. Subok na!

If im buying, Im getting the TBZ..not that the fortuner is inferior, But because pang anim na ata ako kung sakali na may fortuner sa inner circle of contacts ko, sa street naman namin may 10 atang fortuner mga kapitbahay namin,in other words sang ka man tumingin mero . I know its a testament to its popularity and durability but deng men..parang converse noong 80s, its everywhere.

I remember I asked the same question to a pretty sales agent beside a white good looking Trailblazer. Ang sagot "hindi ko alam sir, bago lang kasi ako, parang parehas ang pwet".
