Welcome to all owners of Toyota Fortuner [ARCHIVED]

[beebs]

peeps, nilagyan ko ng lock ang 3rd row seats ko para just in case basagin ulit ng magnanakaw ang quarter window ko hindi niya mabababa ang seats para makapasok sa loob. nanakawan na kasi ako dati sa moonwalk infront of our friend's house at dumaan sa quarter window.

Sir beebs, may seatcovers po ba yung unit niyo or is that the leather upholstery?

The fortuner's brake design should not be the immediate blame, sure, they are not state-of-the-art but the designers made sure that they (the brakes) will be capable of stopping a mid-sized SUV like the Fortuner if the unit is driven "properly". I've read a lot of articles from car magazines like Car & Driver, Road & Track,... and all the contributors agree that we should all drive responsibly/defensively, that we should be aware of our surroundings, that we should not rely on technology like ABS, EBD, ETC,...
Vehicles like the Fortuner need more distance to stop because of their size and weight. Peace.

Yeah, having a disc/drum set up does not mean inferior braking power. Most of the braking are done by the front wheels anyway. Sure there can be a tendency to fade during long periods of braking or repeated hard stops but not enough to make you fall off a cliff if you know what you are doing.

And with ABS assistance, a Fortuner has a good chance of outbraking even a 4 wheel disc braked but non-ABS SUV when both are driven by non-professional drivers. ABS allows you to brake and steer even in a panic stop situation. Something that is very difficult to do on a non-ABS vehicle.

Sirs update nyo po kanmi sa fortuners nyo...satisfied ba kayo? also any problem with the latest fort? 2006 fort?

2.5 D4D owner here and very mich satisfied.

Ride may be stiff but very much tolerable (for me) -- after all this is an SUV.
No problems with the top speed as well. SUVs = not mean to be raced.
For city driving and highways every now and then the Fort is very well equipped.

No problems what so ever with my ride -- hopefully it stays that way.

Sir, what year did you buy your fortuner? sir Im also planning to buy fort 2.5D4D what can you say when you accelerate from zero? hindi ba underpowered? umu-udyok din ba? can you compare it for example old pick up like isuzu...

thanks

when ba 2007 fort lalabas?

[jeyps11_c]

Hmmm...haven't experienced an Isuzu pick up.
Pero my Fort answers naman when I step on the pedal.
Kelangan lang din marnong ka nag drive ng Automatic.
Yung iba kasi they treat matic trannys the same as manuals.

Also, if you are getting a diesel make sure that the 1st after market add on you get is a turbo timer.
This will preserve your engine in the long run.
Ingat sa patay agad ng makina -- especially after along and/or hard drive.
Masisira agad turbine mo niyan -- baka after 1 year pa lang la na power Fort mo.

Good luck sa pag bili.

PS: Sorry no idea about the 2007 Fort. Best to ask you local dealer.

hi guys, bumili erpats ko ng old man emu shocks kanina 4 our fortuner na 3.0

i doubt na gaganda ride nya hehe maybe the body roll will be lessen but i doubt mawawala tagtag kasi springs nya stock pa din naman.

maybe the sagging issue at the back will be lessen din siguro.

kasi yun old man na springs will lift the vehicle eh, it will increase the ride height. eh kung hnr kaya? hehe bababa naman hehe

compared sa jazz ko na naka drop, maganda pa ride ng jazz na lowered kesa sa fort namin hehe, hard core kasi ang suspension
