Welcome to all owners of Toyota Fortuner [ARCHIVED]

[jundogg]

Jun - you mean kung nakapark ka then full steering lock at either sides? If that is so then most likely you are hearing the power steering pump hum.

yes sir, when parked and locking turns at both sides.
is that normal or trouble?

thanks

In my opinion it is definitely not a defect. Just the steering pump doing its job of pumping the fluids sa steering box.

By the way, as a precaution, do not hold the steering at full lock for more than 5 secs as this builds up pressure in the hydraulic hose leading to premature wear of the hose and seals.

just my :twocents:

Mga Gurus,

Ask ko lang po kung meron na sa inyo nakabili ng Fortuner M/T and any feedback? And it is true na walang Air Bag at ABS?

Appreciate your comment.

Thank you po.

Appreciate your comment.

Thank you po.

No true. It has the same specs as the other variants except for the transmission and cloth seating material (instead of leather upholstery).

Thank you po ... Isa po kasi sa pinagpipilian ko ito.

It is also not advisable to turn the steering wheel when the vehicle is in a standstill position because the steering pump may be damaged. Dapat merong konting movement ng vehicle when you turn the steering wheel para di ma overworked yung steering pump.

On another issue regarding the Fortuner, napansin ko na merong kalampag from the third row, habang nakatupi ito, pag napadaan ka sa lubak. Tumutunug yung anchors ng third-row seats na nakasabit sa upper handles located at the top of the windows. Nilagyan namin ng paddings na pranela yung achors, pati yung belt na tumatama sa third row seat mismo, nawala yung tunug or kalampag, pero ngitpa tingnan. Any other solution para mawala yung tunug or kalampag from the folded 3rd row seat pag napadaan ka sa lubak? Pa share naman. Thanks.

It causes uneven wear too to your front tires.

Sakin din meron pero left side lang hinihigpitan ko lang yung belt ng hook nawawala naman pero pag ginamit ko yung seat then fold ko uli meron na naman kaya madalas di ko nalang tinutupi maximum na kasi yung belt. Check ko yung handle mahigpit naman so i think yung seat ang tumutunog. Parang mas maganda pa yung tumble down.

Good am po sa lahat. Makihalo lang po ako sa usapan since I've just bought a Fortuner 3.0L 4x4 sa Toyota Valle Verde. Tagal ko isip between white and black. Finally chose black but suddenly may available na white and black at the same time. I finally decided to go with white. Paglabad ng casa diretso ziebart for paint protection. Sarap ng ride so far.

Good day to you sir jmaneze! ask ko lng sana how much ang magpa "Paint Protect" sa Ziebart? then saan kaya dito sa Quezon City branch nila.
Finally im about to drive my brand new Fort 3.0V (white) from Toyota Quezon Ave tommorow. TIA

* auto fanatic

pansin ko nga rin yan, kay ginagawa ko nalang, di ko na finofold yun 3rd row
kung wala naman ako ilalagay na mga gamit sa likod. tapos nalulukot pa un leather upholster pag matagal nakatiklop yun seats.

i suggest tighten the velcro strap (w/ hook) for lesser play when seats are folded and hung. =D

*delta96er . goodluck and congrats! =)

Pansin ko lang na ang lakas pa rin ng dating ang Fort kahit almost 5 years old na I like the current, updated model with more functional improvements like projector lamps and larger wheels.

We are considering to get by next year to replace one of our aging cars but a friend of mine from abroad told me that an upcoming Full Model Change version might be released sometime in 2010 that may feature a body similar to that of the current Prado.

Any news about this?

I agree, 5 years down the line and it's still going strong! The facelift update just put the cherry on the cake. It has a pretty much faultless design.

I wonder where Toyota would take the next gen Fortuner, the next gen model may make or break the Fortuner..

Helo Fortuner Lovers,

Plan namin bumili ng Fortuner 2.5 D4D. Tanong ko lang kung OK na ba ang 2.5 D4D para sa size ng body ng Fortuner? Ang dad ko ang gagamit at sanay siya sa 2001 Pajero FieldMaster niya. Comparable ba ang 2.5 D4D sa 2.8 intercooler turbo ng Pajero? Ang suggestion ko kasi sa dad ko yung 3.0 D4D para hindi bitin kaso nag aalangan sa 300K price difference at madalas naman sila lang ng mom ko ang sakay.

Salamat

Hello sir,

Paano kung A/T ang gusto ng dad ko kasi hindi na sanay sa M/T yon. OK pa din ba ang 2.5 D4D?

Anyway, thanks sa advice at i-try ko din mag test drive ng Fortuner.

Thanks ulit.
