Welcome to all owners of Toyota Fortuner [ARCHIVED]

[Takumi]

My congratulation to Mr A Reyes (you know who you are ) for his newly acquired White Fortuner VVTi. 3 months of waiting is well worth it, right? Saan ang break in?

[bilog]

bilog, musta na 2.7 vvti mo? sa akin ok pa rin. almost 12k kms na odo ko still no problem.

peeps, sabi sa akin ng toyota bicutan na mabilis mapudpod ang brake pads natin since mabigat daw ang body ng fortuner. pag downhill daw suggestion niya na mag-engine brake tayo. they had a customer na nagpalit na daw ng brake pads, less than a year pa lang unit niya.

ok naman sya... nagkaproblema lang ako sa preno sa rear dahil nagkaron ng crunching sound. after two trips to toyota Batangas naayos din. Kala ko malakas na ako sa gamit kasi sa akin almost 12k na rin sa odo. di ko pa ginagamit araw araw yun, tuwing lumuluwas lang ng maynila o kaya sa labas ng bayan namin.

Where did you order your Fortuner , Sir. Are you getting it from Jamaica?

Locally, we only have 3 variants available

V - 3.0L 4x4 D4D A/T
G - 2.5 4x2 D4D AT
G - 2.7 4x2 VVTi AT

In some Arabian countries they have a V6 engine.

i was at toyota ortigas and the sales people said that the 2.7 gasoline variant and the 3.0 diesel variant is available for immediate delivery without leather seat add ons. but there is still wait list for the 2.5 diesel.

it took a year for toyota to satisfy the market enthusiasm for the fortuner.

[oldblue]

signs of the times. 2.5 4x2 diesel na ang malakas ang demand sa Fortuner ngaun. 2.7vvti too expensive for gas, 3.0 4x4 d4d too expensive srp.

If not for the price of gasoline, the 2.7 VVTi would be a great buy. But, the 2.5 D4-D has even better value, if not for the possible fuel pump issue.

It's kinda surprising that the demand has now shifted towards the 2.5 D4-D.

parang hindi naman problema yan fuel pump issue sa new buyers coz up to now, dito lang sa tsikot maingay na maingay yan issue na yan.

been telling my friends and my dad's friends about this particular Fortuner problem. parang lumalabas pa tuloy na kill-joy ako

Guys, are you experiencing brake squeeking sound sa fortuner? pansin ko kapag decelerate ako from 50kph rinig yung squeeking sa loob maski nakasarado window. mileage ko 5TKms palang and I dont drive and brake that hard to save gas.

When I checked out the new rav4 a couple of weeks ago at toyota alabang, the agent also told me that there is already stock and ready for release on the 2.7 and 3.0 variants. no more waiting list.

last time i did a social visit at my dealership in QC, their '06 RAV4 is practically 'nilalangaw'. Mabenta pa rin daw ang Fortuner. Their sales of Fortuner barely waned. I saw several units na ilalalabas only for the that day.

Several Fortuner owners, including me, have experienced this crunching sound (parang kumakaskas) that starts when you deccelerate below 50 kph, first at faster interval, then bumabagal and will vanish when you're at a complete stop. I also noticed this when i turned off my radio. However, i haven't got any explanations for this yet.

I am actually ordering my Fortuner fromt the Toyota dealershiphere in Jamaica. Only one version of the Fortuner is offered in Jamaica. Only variation are the colours. The reason Jamaica is not using the deisel version, is that the version deisel gas we use here, is not the refined version as the oil used in Japan or may be your country. And this can give ur vehicle problems over a number of years. We still use the old time deisel oil.
The reason we dont use the 4litre V6 its because Toyota Jamaica offers the Toyota Prado which is already in high demand. So it would be unnessary to sell 2 vehicle providing almost the same exact specifications.

Hey Godfada! Welcome to the forum!

We're glad to actually hear that guys from other countries are getting good information through this thread. It really helps to read up, such that you can make an informed decision.

In an island like Jamaica (only 235 kilometers long), a gas 4x4 Fortuner would do just fine.

Thanks for the info. Welcome & enjoy your ride.

Speaking of the Prado, they are recalling about 100,000 units for a faulty rear axle or something.

Thank you, I hope i can introduce more people to the forum and add our own experience and limited expertise to the forum. It has been fun reading all of the information you guys put into this forum!

Do you guys trust the alarm system that came factory installed? I want to know if i need to install a better alarm system when it comes.

hahhah..I know even though the island is small, it takes at least 5 hrs to get from one end of the island to the next without traffic, if driving at a reasonable speed. But with traffic, oh boy, it can be a little rough on gas. Diesel is usually the choice gas here, mainly because of the torque and expense. And we have lots of mountains and rough terrain.

*Godfada, congratulations on your new ride. A wise choice, indeed!
The stock TVSS (Toyota Vehicle Security System) that was installed on our units here in Philippines doesn't have the immobilizer feature, which are standard on other countries. It's a basic alarm system, to tell you honestly. However, it depends on your personal requirement, safety-wise. Upgrading is always better.

By the way, feel free to visit our other Fortuner forums, the old one here:
