Welcome to all owners of Toyota Fortuner [continued]

^but if the ball is already rolling, we will likely get our hands on this new model by late 2014 the soonest, tama po ba?

*renzo, maybe going for the race chip thing after a couple of months if still not satisfied.

sa mga vvti users, share naman your experience from 0 to 60 kph and onwards compared with other cars. is the acceleration satisfactory kahit loaded 7 pax with just a normal press of the pedal o dapat pedal to the metal kasi nahihirapan na? how about uphill? sorry wala kasi gasoline for test drive dito sa amin. parang kulang din ang mga sagot sa lahat ng nabasa ko. TIA

you mean the gas variant 2.7 vvti will also have 5 AT? toyota thai does not have 5AT for gas variant AFAIK. thinking of getting the gas version within the month. do you guys think there is a very noticeable advantage over the 4 AT in terms of acceleration? how about interior design upgrades or the rear disc brakes?

2.7 vvt-i will retain the same 4 speed a/t.

Only the 3.0 D-4D and 2.5 VNT D-4D will be getting the extra gear, making it 5 speed a/t.

I have read somewhere that this 5 speed is actually the same as the current 4 speed except it has been added with a lower 1st gear, like the Prado.

Supposedly. I think Toyota will launch it within the 3rd quarter of 2013.

I own the vvt-i and 98% of the time its just me driving. If you don't like a lethargic performing engine, its best to gas up with Blaze 100. Before that, it was Xtra unleaded (before ethanol was mixed in) , then XCS (when they blended ethanol to Xtra unleaded) then Blaze (when they blended ethanol to XCS). Blaze obviously gave the best performance (in terms of acceleration, engine responsiveness, etc..).

[b3ndz]

^ yup, planned to use Seaoil 97 pag-city then Blaze 100 for out of town trips. same gasoline rotation sa cedia ko, maganda experience ko dito in terms of FC and engine noise, smoothness as well as responsiveness balanced on overall driving satisfaction. it's just gonna be me riding most of the time, just a little unsure if kaya niya with ease talaga ang full pax load especially uphill climb. sabi sa kabilang forum, medyo hirap ng konti with higher FC.

if there is 1st hand consensus here that the 2.7 vvti can run and accelerate on a reasonable incline with 7 pax on board easily to a max speed of 80-100 kph (without regard for FC), i'm gonna get me one na. if not, i'll wait for the TD of the Mivec Montero. not into diesel kasi out of my comfort zone na.

[b3ndz]

meron pala power package consisting of unichip, headers tsaka k&n filter sa speedlab kung kulang sa acceleration, hehehe. mga 50k all in all siguro. how much kaya ang gain nitung package in terms of 0-80 kph time? i'm not gonna race it pero it will be nice to know if fast acceleration is there when needed. well, at least may plan B na. astig talaga porma nitong fortuna.

Claim from your insurance.

Just curious, did you have a spare tire lock?

Don't have a spare tire lock. Should have bought one. Well, nasa huli talaga ang pagsi sisi.

Thank you! Oo nga pala, i can claim from my insurance.

Why? Is it too bright while driving?

[Retz]

Navigation ready lang ba pag Gas variant compared sa Diesel variant na may GPS na?

[ram angle]

2.7 vvt-i will retain the same 4 speed a/t.

Only the 3.0 D-4D and 2.5 VNT D-4D will be getting the extra gear, making it 5 speed a/t.

I have read somewhere that this 5 speed is actually the same as the current 4 speed except it has been added with a lower 1st gear, like the Prado.

With 5speed gearbox the torque is 410 Nm

Mine is 2.7VVTi 2009 model, acceleration is adequate even loaded with 7 pax, IMO. I tried 6 pax loaded with stuff up to the roof rack during our trip to Sagada and never felt underpowered. Tried also 4 pax with full of stuff plus 3 bikes still power is enough for overtaking (parang ganon parin). Just shift to 3 if you need to accelerate hard.

But do not expect the same acceleration with midsize sedan or with full sized SUV like LC off course they are a lot quicker.

What's the best deal you guys got for either the 4x2 VVTi AT or 4x2 D4D AT? Hope you can pm me guys! Thanks!

[b3ndz]

*shadow, thanks for the vote of confidence sa vvti. aside from the FC, wala talaga akong nahanap na substantial downside sa gasoline version in over 100 google pages. hehehe, this is good.

[Retz]

ung resale value lang cguro sir ang nakikita kong downside.
