Welcome to all owners of Toyota Fortuner [continued]

[noobskie]

6.5 seems to be the norm for the 2.7 vvti. Try easing the pressure on the gas pedal before it hits 2k rpm to see if it goes any higher. Some friend of mine argues his can go 7 and above but that might just be the route he's driving on.

[jbs]

Tanong ko lang po kung ano ang best na battery for 2.7vvti? May nakagamit na po ba sa inyo ng battery na Toyota made? I saw this in casa and it's cost like 4K and 24 months warranty. Malapit na po kasing mag 2 years ung car at baka biglang humina na ang battery hehehe...

Maraming salamat po.

hi sir jbs, pasingit lang ako. i asked this before and 2 tsikoteers already gave me the info i need and im very thankful. i just noticed na 2.7 vvti din ang ride mo. do you mind if i ask ilan ang average fuel consumption mo? btw, i was able to test drive the facelifted fort 2.7 vvti and i didn't noticed any "tag-tag". me and my wife even tried to seat at the back and ok sya for us. hindi naman naalog utak namin hehe. pansin ko lang na medyo mahina yung brakes. siguro dahil all disc brakes yung ride ko ngayon kaya nanibago ako.

still doesn'tget any higher, i guess i have to get my filters cleaned

[jbs]

hi sir matty. wala po ako kasi ngayon sa Pinas :-) pero po based dun sa display ng fort regarding sa fuel consumption it's appear 8 to 8.5 nung gamit ko po city and highway driving I don't know lang po how accurate un. regarding po sa tagtag di naman matagtag saka po sa tire nitro po ang gamit ko. but for sure di po kayo magsisi kung sakali mang mapili nyo ang fortuner :-)

[matty]

wow! nice fuel consumption. salamat sir jbs.

[jbs]

wow! nice fuel consumption. salamat sir jbs.

i'm not sure where i read about 2012 fortuners came from, i just want to clarify if it is from thailand? or indonesia? it has been 3 months already yet my reservation for white 2.5 a/t is still not available from casa. just hope its not because of the flood of thailand.

No. Your fortuner cannot carry a load of 1285 lbs. Here's the amount it can carry at most :

I use the data from other toyota website, because the toyota Philippines website does not provide this info.

Toyota - Fortuner Specifications

Gross vehicle weight : 2510 kg

Curb Vehicle weight : 1955 kg


So the maximum weight the fortuner can carry is abt 2510 - 1955 = 555 kg. Or abt 1050 lbs.


Not bad. Can carry 15 kg more than the avanza.

that weight is already enough, anyway your fortuner is only for family use, not for service and 7 persons with 70 kgs. each are enough, at kung fully loaded ka, maganda ang takbo n'ya, hindi matagtag... anyway thanks for the reminder at least puwede nating magamit yan for safety reason, the best talaga not to exceed the load.

[ocean explorer]

I still use the fully synthetic from casa, pero ingat ka sa mga casa kasi meron casa na papalitan daw nila yung engine oil pero pag-dating mo sa bahay, check the dip stick, still the same, maitim yung langis. sa bawat pag-palit mo ng langis, lilinaw yan, but i experience it, i change it several times with the same casa pero when i check the oil, it is the same, maitim pa rin, sabi nila, ganon daw yon, kasi diesel nga, madali daw umitim yung langis, but my unit is still look brand new kasi 1 1/2 yr lang s'ya at bihira lang magamit, so, i try to transfer to another casa, ayaw nila sanang palitan yung langis kasi hindi pa raw schedule, kaso sabi ko maitim na yung langis, so pinalitan nila, sa casang nilipatan ko, at least don, kung pms lang ma-check mo kung ano ginagawa nila sa unit mo, so, nakita ko na pinalitan nila yung engine oil, hanggang sa dumating ako ng bahay, nung i-check ko yung oil, malinaw pa rin not like don sa dating casa, parang hindi sila nag-palit pero naka-charge yung engine oil which is too expensive kumpara sa labas. but since i want to keep my unit at its top performance, so, expend more..., kung bago pa yung unit mo and under waranty, don't use other oil kasi baka ma-void yung warranty, kung 5 yrs. or more then try other brand, sa isuzu pick up ko, i use top 1 fully synthetic, kahit 13 yrs. na s'ya, but every 3 mos. i always change it by my self, mabango ang usok ng top 1, medyo may kamahalan nga lang.

Yung fortuner alam ko yung body sa thailand ginagawa. Pero yung interior sa laguna yata ginagawa

Yung reservation ko ng 4x2 dark steel diesel a/t ng fortuner 3 months na wala pa din hahaha

I got a 2011 model last december and also had the same dilemna. Matigas ang ulo ko so I got the 2.5D4D. No problems so far. I don't feel its underpowered. Have not tried it on long steep roads pero I often go to and from basement parking logs (RCBC Plaza) with 7+ pax and it does not even go to 2000 RPM using 'D'. I still have a 1996 accord and the fortuner feels more responsive and more powerful. I think historically on paper Toyota has always been inferior in terms of HP pero in reality they're competetive naman. The tagtag issue is real specially in contrast to the accord but is really just overrated. I deflated to 28 psi and its okay na. I also rode a Civic FD and a City and I cant tell the diff with the Fortuner. Masarap din gamitin ang Fort sa SLEX or to Tagaytay. Dahil stiff ang suspension niya hindi siya nag bobottom out pag may mga small slopes. Ang issue ng tagtag ng fortuner sa mga pebble like roads. Pero sa mga humps hindi ka naman matatagtag.

Forget about the new model. I asked my SA after I got my Fort and wala pa din talaga daw. 2013 pa daw. I don't think he still has a motive for lying since I got a unit from him already. Unless of course he thinks I would refer other Fort buyers.
The best for me with the Fort is it looks, period. That was and still is the clincher despite all the bashing here in tsikot. (Madami din Hyundai/Mistu boys dito. hehe) I guess mas macho pa din siya kaysa sa ibang SUV/AUV/CUV kasi di siya masyadong curvy like mga car-looking SUVs. Yung iba kasi parang sobrang radical ang design that you admire for a week pero after that parang deadma ka na.

This is just my opinion and experience with the Fort.

Sir mukhang he lies hehehe daming ng bago Fortuner sa daan... ako din nanghinayang hehehe

[ocean explorer]

hindi naman nakakapanghinayang kasi mas macho pa ang dating ng dating fort, at saka hindi naman nila binago yung makina, so, para sa akin, the best pa rin yung dati, i'm planning to trade in my unit, pero nung makita ko yung bago, i keep my old unit, baka mas matibay pa sya sa bagong labas, i always used my unti with long travel, most esp. nlex and sctex and i have nothing to say regarding of fuel consumption, it takes 11-13 km/ltrs. depende sa accelaration, 1 time din na nasubukan kong isagad sya, it takes 160 km/hr. pero nahuli ako sa sctex, 100 km/hr. lang ang allowed but you can run up to 120 km/hr., sa macapagal ave and commonwealth aver, its better to take 3rd gear only if you have manual variant, otherwise mag-over-speeding ka,

[NightRock]

OT: ano penalty sa SCTEX pang over speeding?? magkano?? malimit pa naman ako mag 160 dyan lalo sa umaga kainis lang daming kulisap ang hirap mag linis ng bumper hehehe

[ocean explorer]

1,300.00 yung penalty sa over-speeding + seminar 150.00 yata, i forgot na... sa main office ang claim ng license, Q.C., hindi maiwasan yung mga kulisap na yan sa sctex kasi bukid... kahit mababal takbo mo ganon pa rin, pag-check mo sa makina amoy malansa, ha ha ha, ingat na lang...

[mk]

Kaya naman yata bumagal ang pagdating ng new fortuner dito ay because of the thailand flooding... Grrr ! I guess 1 more month wait for the dark steel fortuner

Mag fort owners na 2.7 vvti... Ask ko lang if ano pinapalagay nyo na gas? Ok lang ba maglagay ng vortex silver ng caltex? Ndi ba maarte sa gas yung fortuner na tipong kakatok cya pag mababa yung octane?

[number001]

^I get best results with Petron Blaze 100. Instant response when flooring the gas pedal. Very costly though.

I used 2.7vvti.. na try ko na lahat halos pero di ma figure out alin mas ok maybe becaused I mixed it most of the time. and so far wala naman ako naging problema sa Unit ko.

dati ganyan din ako, dsl. nga lang... but one time nagbuga sya ng maputing usok when I started up...so, nag-worried ako na baka magsimula na ng malfunction...nag-shift ako ng v-power dsl., nawala yung usok, until now...I try also yung turbo dsl., and it's right iba yung hatak nya... costly nga lang, that's why i go back to v-power.
