Welcome to all owners of Toyota Fortuner [ARCHIVED]

[beebs]

I just passed Toyota bel air and saw their lot where they park their stock inventory. mayroon ilang brand new Fortuner ako nakita dun. i doubt if they are for immediate delivery because they where stuck at the very back. Does that mean may stocks na sila ng Fortuner? I dont wanna go and ask any salesman baka uminit lang ulo ko pag kung ano ano ano sasabihin sa akin.
BTW mas madami ako nakita na stocks ng Innova, halos puno yung parking lot ng Innova na wala bumilbili yata.

well sana isa duon na 4x2 diesel eh yung pina-reserve ko. ayoko na ngang magfollow-up. mas ok siguro wag ko muna asahan para di ako maiinip.

sabi sakin ng sales managr...may parating daw toyota isang barko ng fortuner..is this true???kung totoo..marami n magiging masaya this sept...

[larshell]

more fortuner or innova means more aftermarket and easier to find parts in the future.. kaya less maintenance cost (sana)

Thats one positive way of thinking it.

Nabasa ko sa Inquirer na dapat kung gusto mong makuha kaagad yung Fortuner mo eh mag installment ka nalang courtesy of Toyota Financing.

I already recoup my IHF, bec. of the price increase. I made a HUGE downpayment. with a small remaning balance for financing. the interest was negligable. I trick the dealer into believing I give in to the IHF.

may mga reviews daw na "bouncy" ang ride ng fortuner. can you confirm this? thanks.

[BlueBimmer]

yep many compaints mdyo bouncy daw

[number001]

With a vehicle like a Fortuner, I would expect a certain degree of bounciness as a part of the package. Imagine going on rough terrain or carrying heavier loads with a softer suspension. The bounciness can be reduced by following Toyota's guidelines on the proper tire pressure.

yes. i have driven my friends 2.5d4d fortuner. pero kung galing ka naman sa suv with ladder frame o pick up, tolerable naman sya.

My tires are only 28psi, ride is still bouncy & wobbly (if cornering) especially on cemented roads. smooth asphalts roads have much better ride. Anyway I'm almost at 3T km on my odo. So far fuel consumption have improved. Its my 5th straight fill up (full tank 1st click). and averaging around 6.1 to 6.4 km/liter (2.7 VVTi). almost the same consumption with my 2nd gen CRV.

I've got friends and some acquaintances who've confirmed that the 2.7G VVTi is indeed quite bouncy. But, all of the complainants used to own cars. Coming from a car, any frame-on-ladder SUV will feel rather bouncy.

As for the 3.0V D4D, I can say that the ride is a lot gentler than my Gen2 4x2 CR-V. I believe the difference in ride between the Fortuner 4x2 & 4x4 units can be attributed to the vehicles' weights. With similar suspension and tire pressure, the 3.0V would offer a gentler ride due to the added weight pushing on the suspension.

As for consumption, I am now consistently getting over 8km/li on my 3.0V. I've so far peaked at 8.7lm/li. And, this is mixed highway and city driving. All driving done during peak rush hour traffic.

If asked, the only thing I don't like about the 3.0V is the need to cool down the turbo after long drives. I need a turbo timer...

Sorry I'm not familiar with this device, but what exactly is its function?

Carjackers have new modus operandi

A LITTLE after midnight on Aug. 27, businessman Peter Asuncion (not his real name) was driving his Toyota Vios along a Quezon City street, when he was blocked by a big, maroon car.

Four heavily armed men got out and introduced themselves as policemen assigned to a mobile checkpoint.

With an Armalite rifle pointed at him, Asuncion transferred to the other car, and was driven to a dark tunnel where they took his wallet, watch, and ATM and credit cards, as well as PIN numbers.

The men got Asuncion’s car and other valuables, and an amount he could only describe as “big.”

Asuncion is not the only victim. The stories are the same: a small group of burly men, brandishing high-powered weapons and introducing themselves as authorities, stop and rob the victims.

Police believe the same group is responsible for a series of carjacking incidents in Quezon City.

The group, said Quezon City Police District Anti-Carnapping Task Force and Unit chief Supt. Ceasar Tannagan, those expensive cars and struck between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m.

Victims described the suspects as 30 to 45 years old, big, and “military-looking.” Their vehicles had sirens and blinkers. Asuncion said they seemed “too disciplined to be ordinary criminals.”

QCPD deputy director for operations Sr. Supt. Samuel Pagdilao advised motorists to avoid unlit roads late at night, and to call 117 if a vehicle with sirens tries to stop them.

ano ba ibig sabihin na "bouncy?" yung adventure ko kasi masasabi ko na bouncy, as in matigas ang suspension kasi naka-leaf spring ang rear. sabi kasi sa review na nabasa ko nakakahilo daw pag nakaupo ka sa 3rd row. :jump:

[larshell]

Vicoyski, What is the front suspension of Fortuner? Coil Spring ba like the Innova?

[tOrPe_bOi]

eto mga fortuners BLING BLING pili ln kayu!hehehe
