Fortuner at the Ambuklao Road . . . . eating dust.



The Fortuner’s stock 4x4 drivetrain is very capable and with an overly torquey 3.0 CRDI engine, it can easily haul a full load up a mountain . . . . no sweat!

Per our actual experience, the only weak point of the Fortuner is the stock front suspension. On our way down, still loaded, we kept bottoming out our front end and our underbelly kept hitting the rocks on the trail . . . blag . . . . blag . . . . blag at every switchback on the trail. Luckily the Fortuner comes with stock skid plates . . . severely dented by now (but, heck, that’s what it’s for) . . . . . time to change to Old Man Emu front coilovers.

Wow! Great shots! You'd think these weren't taken in the Philippines.

At higher altitudes, you get better shots on sunny days, because of the thinner air.

Nice pics!!! Parang an ganda ng weather sa pinas ngayon ah

[herbularyo]

Wow. Great pictures

I observed a Fortuner 3.0V today and I noticed that the exhaust is quite smoky and it emitted more smoke (carbon-particles) during acceleration. Is this normal for a diesel this new? I can only imagine the view of what the back of this vehicle would be like as the diesel engine gets run-in with more mileages covered.

And no, I'm not putting the vehicle down. I'm just trying to raise this concern. A sales agent is offering me a 4x4 and I'm still in the process of deciding whether to get it not.

btw, this was observed in a hot sunny afternoon, with the car on a stand still idle and driven away afterwards.

I would assume that the owner of the particular 3.0V you saw has not been following the regular schedule for vehicle maintenance. Toyota's D4-D engines are suppose to have lesser carbon emissions than an average diesel engine.

Anyway, mine so far doesn't emit black exhaust. And, I back into a white wall when parking my unit in the garage. No signs of carbon on my garage wall (not like when I still owned a Gemini Diesel). Drawback lang talaga sa diesel is the smelly exhaust.

The Fortuner I saw is quite new, maybe around 3 months old. Plate number is ZCK-*&*. Ok, what I mean by smoky is that I can actually see white smoke being emitted from the exhaust. When it accelerated away, you see even more white smoke coming out (almost particle-like in appearance but I'm sure they are not). Is this normal for a diesel? Btw, I have never owned a diesel and the sighting disturbingly reminded me of those dilapidated buses in EDSA which emitted black smoke everytime they accelerated.

With gas vehicles, I'm used to not seeing any smoke coming out of the exhaust (an exception is during the winter or when the weather is quite cold).

I'm just a bit concerned because I dont like the look (and smell) of smoky cars (stereotypical old cars in movies) and problems might crop up with emissions testing later on. There is also the fact that one must need to let the vehicle idle after use, to care for the turbo and I dont want the garage or driveway to be filled with smoke. That's all.

The gas vvti variant will take forever to own so I'm still weighing the options bet. it and the 3.0V.

Some dealer offered me discount as much as that but its for the old fort 3.0V if its for the new fort its a good buy. Anyway try toyota shaw they gave me the most freebies and biggest discount, look for stella
