Welcome to all owners of Toyota Fortuner [ARCHIVED]

[attynorby]

'ngapala, just saw in another thread. Meron na bang may CARGO NET sa inyo, particularly for the Fortuner? Where did you buy?

RFW well cover, wala pa rin meron?

[rcl_inno]

tanong lang po wala ba kau problem na naencounter sa unit nu lalo na pg cold starting, kasi ung sa min na 2.5G after going to manila the next morning nung start namin after few seconds namamatay ung engine parang bigla bumababa ung menor then patay ung makina, anyone encountered the same problem? sabi ng isang personnel sa casa baka daw ngkaproblem sa mismong d4d, any idea, pls help tnx

sir,
may nag post na ng ganitong problema sa thread ng mga innova owners, i think ang lumabas na problem ay CRDI , binalik sa casa, ang naging solution dito ng Casa was to replace the the whole CRDI unit. dun palang na ayos ang makina.

My Dad's friend also encounter that problem with his 2.5 Innova. After starting, the engine would suddenly go dead.

Good morning.

My agent sent an SMS yesterday afternoon announcing discounts and freebies for the Innova. I replied and asked him if he is disuading me from my Fortuner interest.(Dati na kasi nyang ginagawa dahil alam nya original choice ko Previa. ) Also, I told him to be honest about being able to give me my unit this month. That it should help me make quick decisions (a veiled threat he he he).

He quickly called me up, a little worried that I am pulling out and assured me I will get my unit. I might be reading too much into this but it makes me think na marami nga yatang darating na units. Malapit na ma-solve and waiting woes! If this is true, then the pressure to accessorize and IHF/IHI will lessen soon.

Baduy ba body cladding and visors on dark gray? Parang iyan na lang kunin ko instead of the tracking feature. Pictures pls.

*kent - below is the post at the Innova thread - D4D problem, the entire CRDI system was replaced (take advantage of the warranty before that situation worsens) :

Hi guys, just came back from Toyota. Finally! After 8 days of waiting, naayos na rin nila yung Innova ko.

Here's the summary of what they replaced:
1. PUMP
2. 4 INJECTORS
3. COMMON RAIL
4. FUEL FILTER
5. 4 NOZZLE HOLDER
6. 3 PIPES
7. FUEL PIPE
8. NOZZLE PIPE (not sure about this though)
9. GASKET
10. SUPPLY PUMP
11. O-RING
12. PIPE INJECTION

They told me that the cause of my Innova not starting up is because of these defects. That's why they have to replace them. Sabi sa akin I'm customer number 2 who had this defect. haaaaayyyy

God is good!

Agent called a while ago. Meron na akong unit, 4x4 diesel. Ang "downside" black ang kulay. Nothing against the color itself, its the maintenance I am worried about. Since he cant give a guarantee when I can get a dark grey, I took it.

Will add body cladding, leather seats, window visors, DVD, full windshield tint (3M cs panther 35) and muffler cutter(?).

Hindi ba masyadong dark yung 3M tint?

congrats on your new ride. i would suggest huper optik 20 all throughout. medyo dark cya sa labas pero excellent visibility from the inside.

congrats! may bago na naman akong kaiiingitan. maganda naman ang black, high maintenance lang. ingat ka rin sa paglinis at baka magka-swirl marks. can you also ask your dealer kung ilan ang dumating sa kanila na 2.5 d4d. thanks.

thanks po sa info, kala ko solo akong nakaencounter ng ganitong problem, pa-check ko na lang po sa casa, pinapa-observe muna sa kin, nkakapagtaka lang kasi pag kinakapos n ung makina then u pump acc. pedal bumabalik sa normal ung menor, tapos un pag ginamit ko na then i started the engine again ok na sya, anyway at least nagka-idea ako sa problem, many thanks : )

with all the testimonials of 2.5 d4d fortuner owners i guess it is safe to say that it is not underpowered.

This is just my take on that particular engine (2.5l D4D), which was conducted on a short test drive of an Innova G a/t at the Fort last July.

I dont know what others use, but for me, a quick way to tell an engine's power is through an abrupt pedel-to-the floor acceleration. The Innova 2.5l D4D, which is lighter than a Fortuner, felt very slow during acceleration and needed higher revs to gain momentum. If I remember correctly, it initially struggled to reach 60Kph, but beyond that point/speed it felt more responsive. On the other hand, the 2.0 vvti gas engine, felt much more responsive acclerating (almost like a rocket) than the 2.5l D4D. Just my two cents.

The best way is to test the 2.5G Fortuner "scientifically" on nominal test conditions, log the 0-100 performance, and compare it to what u have with Innova. It's somehow inaccurate to judge the 2.5 Fortuner's performance using a test drive in Innova. Just a thought.

basically, the only difference between the fortuner & innova is the higher ground clearance & heavier body of the former (in which case, neither will help the fortuner in gaining an upper ground against the innova in terms of speed). they have the same engine & tranny I believe.

accelerating in the 3.0L D4D is just effortless! try to drive one and you'll know what I mean. the 2.7L VVTi meanwhile is also a bit fast but you need to keep the RPMs high to get things going otherwise it is a lethargic drive. basing on the innova 2.5L D4D - the engine is well mated to the said vehicle. sufficient pick-up speed but still a bit slow for my taste.

Wow! I can finally post in this forum!

I have recently received an approval for a PhP1.86Mio car plan. Since I have a new family (daughter due in Nov), I was originally planning to get a Previa but changed my mind after seeing the Fortuner and after finding out Previa resale is low compared to the acquisition value. [ Please assure me, this is the right decision, serious]. I am coming from a CRV, will the bounciness be bothersome?

I wait listed myself last July but reading the "woe posts" in this forum made me believe that I wont get it this year. But there are "friends in the high places" who helped. So HOPE is alive.

To make the most of the car benefit, I am loading the unit. This works for me and the dealer. So far, my choices are: kelseat, body cladding, dvd player and sensors. Have you guys heard of "Track Mate" - a added security feature? I have a manual I got yesterday but I havent read it. Is it worth the PhP48K sales price? Should I prioritize other stuff? turbo timer not on stock and agent said new diesel engines dont need it(?).

I am getting the 3.0 Diesel model. Color depends on what arrives, I hope I dont get black (tamad ako maglinis). I saw Fortuner in all the colors yesteday! Man! the dark gray looks mean! Wife wants the champagne though. I am getting worked up here, I hope I dont get frustrated.

I hope I join the numbers of the fortunate soon!

The thing I like about the diesel(aside from fuel economy and its cheaper than petrol) is its high torque and availability at low rpms. On an uphil climb, you'd notice this. On a steep incline, for eaxmple, when you are in 3rd gear at 2k-3k rpm, the gas engine would be at 2nd gear 4-5k rpm. Yun 2.5 d4d kase mataas torque nya starting at 1.6k rpm, I think 260. Where as yun gas, it kicks in at 4k rpm and only 182. Difference lang with diesel is that top speed botttoms out earlier than gas.

The whole point is not about comparing the two (technically different but similar) vehicles, but to give one an idea how the Fortuner 2.5l would respond generally. If ever there was a comparison, it is how the 2.5l D4D would respond to different weight loads (in this case, lighter body, Innova, and heavier body, Fortuner). So imagine, if an Innova 2.5l D4D (which is lighter in weight between the two vehicles) is quite anemic already then one would expect it to be even worse on the Fortuner 2.5l.

[katsudon_ph]

underpowered by ung 2.5 na hi-ace?? d ba turbo na sya so dapat malakas un. i guess nasa clutch timing lang un heheh.

[wilcats]

well kse ung mga diesel engines pang hatak tlga eh.. mataas ang torque rating.

[Voxy]

guys malakas ba sa gas ang fortuner? ilan km/liter ang consumption

[akuma]

mejo OT:
dami ko nakitang Fortuner sa Kelseat warehouse sa Marcos Alvarez sa Las Pinas...
pag daan ko kasi kahapon bukas yung gate...
eto yata yung mga 70k worth na seatcover...
