Toyota Thailand can no longer meet the Asean demand for the Fortuner... The waiting list in Thailand alone is over 3 months and their SUV market is way bigger than ours.
There is a big possibility that the 4x2 D4D Fortuner will be assembled locally at the TMPC plant in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, just so the local demand can be sated.

If you will ever visit a Toyota Showroom one of these days in the hope of buying a Fortuner, bear in mind that the Toyota car dealer you will ever speak to, will most likely have an inner intention to rip you off. This is a natural phenomena especially on a hot launching product with 3 months waiting time. Sure, you can cut some pricey deals with your car sales agent just to shorten the waiting period (think of it like buying a ticket from a scalper so you don't have to fall in line). But then again, it's up to you to decide if the extra cash is worth the price of waiting.
I saw the Fortuner at the Toyota Showroom today and it looks pretty cool. Very masculine appearance from the outside. Maybe the closest comparison in terms of looks would be the latest model of the Mitsubishi Pajero.
Inside the Fortuner, it is roomy. Lots of ceiling. Ambient space. In fact, you can squeeze 4 people in the 2nd row without that sardine-can feeling. The 3rd row seat is surprisingly roomy compared to other SUVs. What i like about the 3rd row seat in the Fortuner is that you can actually recline it comfortably during long rides. The adjustable headrest while in a reclined position is comfortable enough that you really would not mind sitting on the 3rd row during a family outing. Not to mention that the 2nd aircon vent is right beside the 3rd row seat too! I can say that the Fortuner has one of the best 3rd row seats in the SUV class.
Many people have a dilemma whether to buy the P1.4 million diesel version or the P1.1 million gas version. For all practical purposes, you are concerned about how much you will pay for gas compared to diesel fuel, right? But come to think about the P300,000 difference?? What other things in life can you buy with P300,000???? Unless you plan to live in your Fortuner on a road trip for several years, don't waste too much time contemplating between the diesel and gas version. The P1.1 million gas-version Fortuner is worth it.
