Welcome to all owners of Toyota Fortuner [continued]

[number001]

Would you think the 3.0V will get a 5 a/t ?

Given the trend of TMP being one step behind Toyota Thailand, you can expect newly boosted 3.0 li with 5 spd A/T to arrive this time of next year. And yes, so TMP can still call it "new".

anyone experience nag ka leak sa likod ng fortuner? 2005 model sa may hatch glass.

from Botchi of topgear: "When I said the Fortuner rides firmer, the suspension is firm, occupants tend to find it uncomfortable because they are constantly being rocked to and fro, moving and swaying inside the car due to the firmness of the suspension of the Fortuner. They are experiencing low-frequency modulations or movements inside the car, hence the large movements they experience being inside the car.
The Montero Sport has a softer suspension BUT does not have as much NVH isolation and refinement as compared to the Fortuner. Thus, the harshness or courseness of the road isn't filtered enough and permeates into the cabin. Although occupants might not feel any large movement inside the car unlike the Fortuner which rocks people left and right, the high-frequency vibrations from the road tend to wear out the passengers and make them uncomfortable over a long drive. This gets worse as the road gets rougher and less smooth, like a poorly overlaid asphalt or a concrete road that was rushed to completion resulting on a rippled surface. This is what I mean about the Fortuner being firmer and harder, but the Montero Sport can be harsher because of poor NVH isolation and general lack of refinement compared to the Fortuner."

TUMPAK!!
ITO yung lagi ko inexplain na di ma-gets ng karamihan .. This is what i really like from FORTUNER. Because of the better NVH, even the sound details of your music coming from car stereo ay clear na clear kahit magaspang ang daan. Even conversations inside the cabin, mas malinaw. Sabi nga ng wife ko bakit MAS hindi ramdam sa fortuner yung takbo na 80 kph to 100 kph sa highway (commonly rough not asphalt) compare sa montero at grand starex. Kase nga sa Very good NVH ng fortuner. Less rattles than monty. Thumbs up for fortuner

We have compared monty & fortuner, both 2010 model, both black color, both 18k mileage, sabay kase halos binili, fortuner runs smoother, but monty rides softer. And take note mas me makalampag na yung monty.


Wala lang po, Just to want to share....hehe

Finally, after over 600 pages of assorted threads, an accurate description of the differences between Montero Sport's & Fortuner's suspension tuning. Now I only need to scrape enough money for a Fortuner.

guys ano ba fuel consumption ng 2.7 gas?
and ano pro's and cons's ng fortuner gas.
thanks..

[Big buzz]

Guys yun ba spec up na 2012 gas fortuner is equipped na with dual vvti? Tahnks

5.8 km all city. No highway.

Pro
-costs less than a diesel (in vehicle price). Less Php 126,000. (VVT-i A/T vs. new 2.5 D-4D VNT A/T).
-Low maintenance in general.
-No D-4D problems
-No future CRDi injector problems

Cons

-Matakaw "daw" sa gas. This is what most people (who browse and posts on forums) who don't even own one will say. I find that its consumption is commensurate to its heavy weight and engine displacement.

No. Still the same 2TR-FE engine.

pag gas of course, mas mababa ang FC compared to d4-d.

[ericson21]

aba'y panung naging mababa ang FC ng gas, diba mas mataas nga yung FC kase gas? haha! mababa reading (7km/L) means mataas kumonsumo, mataas reading (11km/L) mas mababa which is tipid. diba? HAHA. )

Hi what is the difference between fortuner and innova safety wise

maintain it well,hindi magkakaroon ng crdi injector problems.

our trooper 4JX1 yes yun pinaka sirain na engine ng isuzu trooper, until now mag 10years na next year no problem at all.

we do only regular maintenance, and using MOTUL oil that's it.

even our fortuner 3.0 4x4 2005 up to now maski yun scv hindi napalitan, no choking or hard starting etc.

wag mag tipid sa change oil and fuel filter. that's it.

Ung Km/Li reading ang mababa at hindi ung FC per se. I stand corrected.

parang parehas lang ang safety features.

can someone teach me how to use the 4x4 of fortuner 3.0?

Toyota Fortuner is a part time 4wheel drive, in normal driving condition you can set the 4WD lever to neutral so the configuration is like 4x2 fortuner, in some cases that you need the power on all 4 wheels you can shift to either 4HL or 4LL depends on the condition of the terrain plus the 2HL means that you can lock the differential on 2WD mode for that added traction.

Where did you get that info, did you just make that up? The fortuner V has a full-time 4WD. 4WD lever to N won't make any of the wheels turn. And it doesn't have 2HL. It has H (4high), HL (4high center differential locked) , N (neutral-no power delivered to all 4 wheels), LL (4low center differential locked).

well said sir!

saan kaya nakuha ni batang sutil yun information na yan? maybe he was referring to mitsubishi na may 2HL.

For those who get the new VNT, very noticeable ba ang difference in terms of power compared to the previous 2.5L?

hindi pa ako naka drive ng 2.5 non-intercooled but,

had a chance to drive my friends 2.5 VNT fortuner. same na power niya sa 3.0 (i do have 3.0 1st gen)

I see. Lucky for those who waited for this VNT model on the new Fort.

My first modification. I find the front end of the 2012 fort to look a bit slim because of the black foglamp housing so I decided to paint the foglamp housing a matching white color:
