TOYOTA FORTUNER or 2005 PRADO?

[inov8]

hello doc otep, again i would like to say thank you very much for your advise while i was still deciding to get or not the 04 prado, which i eventually got it.
I do really enjoy this suv as compared to my fortuner and pajero before., though it is a little bit older at 04, it really gives the comfort na gusto ku talaga. I usualy travel from Baguio to Tarlac every weekend.
Wala po naman aku masyado gastos sa maintainance except nung mga change oils and the ATF.

Sir since previous Fort& Pajero owner ka (model?), could you elaborate more the comparison re;

Handling
Riding comfort both driver & 2nd row passengers
Cabin noise from engine & road
Any issues with suspension or Kalampag?

TIA

sir, the best ciguro is for you to test drive both suv's for you to decide on which would best give you the comfort that fits your taste.. yun po cguro ang da best para matulungan po kau sa inyung decision.----
For as long as the lc prado is properly maintained by the former owner, it won't give you any headache.
accordingly, the new fortuner improved a lot especially on its suspension or kalampag issues.

Both SUV's are good though!!!

God bless po sa pagdecide nyu!!!

tnx for the input. agree with you that test drive will help a lot in deciding...
but then again there are still that xxx & ooos to factor in.

seems to me that Prado owners- even acquired 2nd hand-
are satisfied owners..wonder how you feel beside a brand new
Fort or MS

IMO, the Prado is not fast, as the LC200, newer Fort nor MS. It's also not flashy unlike an LC200. But it feels nice and just right. Understated really. I can appreciate that it's relatively svelte and compact such that you can use it on a daily basis. It will hold it's own beside a new Fort or MS. I believe that its uniqueness will make it stick out of the sea of Forts and MS's.

Hoola! merry christmas po!!!

my fuel consumption is 8.6kms/liter. I just don;t know if my computation is correct!

My unit po pala is Prado120, 3.0 diesel.

I had an automatic full tank at Tarlac early morning of yesterday, did reset my trip A odo to 0.

went to Manila, masyadong pong matraffic this days po pala dun sa panahon ngayun.

Traveled for Baguio in the afternoon. along the way at La Union, had again an automatic full tank.

I paid P1723.55 (40.852 liters). My trip A odo indicated 353 kms.

8.6 km/L it is!

That's about right as I had gotten a figure similar to that back in 2010 when I did a Manila - Pangasinan - Manila trek on a Sunday.

Maybe we should be discussing more on the Prado in this thread:

8.6 km/L is right!

I got similar to that on my Manila-Pangasinan-Manila trip a few years back. Sarap i-long drive, no?

We can probably discuss more on the Prado at this thread:

Correct! 8.6km/L it is!

Got something similar on my Manila-Pangasinan-Manila trek a few years ago. Good for long drives no?
