Is The Toyota Fortuner Really Bouncy And Rattles A Lot even On Mild Rocky Spots?

I'm really having a hard time deciding on what to buy for i have no choice. I really like the exterior of the Fortuner. I have a Pajero 2003 model. But i want to experience a very smooth ride now. Is the toyota fortuner really bouncy and nauseating?

mas ok ang ride ng FieldMaster IMO.

Pajero gets my vote. Keep it.

either you have to live with it. since Fortuners share the same suspension with the Hi-Lux. well, if you're willing to shed cash, maybe upgrade from stock shock absorber will do the trick?

keep your paj...if you want comfort then buy something else...

imho pajero 2.5 gen is a bit bouncy also since body on frame siya...

Iba yung Hilux, diba? AFAIK, beam axle ang Hilux while multi-link ang Fortuner.

So the Fortuner still isn't as good as a uni-body in terms of bump suppression?

I own a fortuner and my dad has a Gen2 Pajero. As far as the ride comfort is concerned the Pajero gets my vote.

But some claimed that by replacing the stock shock absorber of the Fortuner to an after market variety where you can change the setting between soft, medium & hard via a switch, the ride improves .
