2013 din yung akin, Automatic Transmission 4x2 G variant. second sya sa top of the line 4x4 fortuner. comes with GPS navigation. check mo kung aling variant yung fort mo and kung nasa features niya yung navigation. but judging from your statement, mukang GPS ready pa lang yan, wala pa yung memory card for navigation.

4x2 MT G variant nga pla ung samin.. parang ganun na nga boss, walang SD card eh.. so pede ako na magdownload then lagay lang sa SD card? :question:

Hello to all. Just like to please ask for info on ranges of cost of PMS for toyota fortuner.

I am planning to get a 4x2 G DSL A/T really soon and would like to have an idea of the periodic maintenace cost.

Hopefully you could kindly include the mileage duration and their corresponding costs and some details. Dami kasi factors like oil type, dealer/branch, maintenance parts replaced/reused, etc.

Thanks to all and hope to soon be among you guys who enjoy driving a fortuner.

nope. it's not as easy as downloading apps then installing it on your phone. haha! you really have to get it from Casa or from somewhere (like winterpine) who can install it for you. i think even if you managed to get one on the internet and save it to an SD card, your head unit will not read it. may security verification pa yata yung mga ganyan, 1 SD card file is unique to 1 headunit. kaya mahal talaga yan pag binili mo. but hey, it's worth the price im telling you. :D

tama po sir kasi ng magpa PMS ako ng 1000km at nagtanong ako sa aking SA at 25thousand nga po ang antenna at micro sim para sa GPS kaya po sa mga naka 4X2G Diesel Automatic na GPS ready saan po ba pweding bumili nito na medyo mura sana ng kunti maliban sa casa maraming salamat po.

yan ba yung stripped down na 2014 4x2 G Diesel AT? tinanggalan din pala nila ng navigation yun? well, your best and cheapest alternative is to buy a standalone GPS. madami yan sa market, trusted brands like Garmin, etc.. kung gusto mo tlga ng nasa head unit mo, you have to bear with the price from casa, kasi parang pati sa winterpine, same din price sa casa.

my 1st PMS which was at 1000km cost me around 2-3k, regular oil and some other stuffs. the 2nd one at 5000km cost me 7k for using their non OEM fully synthetic oil. most of the people here says 7k is too much for a 5000km maintenance that's why on my next PMS, i'll specifically ask them to use their OEM fully synthetic oil. im at 8,070km, next PMS will be at 10,000km with 5000km intervals.

yes sir ito nga po yong stripped down 2014 maraming salamat po sir.

Sir, check mo muna kung yung fort mo is GPS equipped na or GPS ready pa lang. kasi if GPS ready pa lang yan, kelangan mo pa bilhin sa Casa or somewhere yung SD card for navigation. i think it will cost you about Php25K sa casa. If equipped na, just press the Navi button on your head unit.

Its very costly for a GPS (P25,000) in my personal opinion...Id rather spend it on other more useful or safety improvements. Really, GPS is useful if you are a foreigner or totally stranger/new in the place but i suggest just putting a portable GPS which dont cost an arm and a leg. By the way, im using GPS here in Thailand as my only guide while driving. Being new, I cannot read their road signs and street signs so I just rely on English based map of Thailand. I found it necessary to put the GPS on the eye level of the driver and not on the console because once you are driving especially on high speed expressway, you cannot get your eyes off the road for safety reason. I tried several places for the GPS (on right, left, middle, upper, lower and even on top of dashboard) but the one that is best and safe i think is just below the rear view mirror. im using GPS with average screen size and it works (costing between Php1,800 - 2,000 with built-in map already). I dont use the console based GPS. Just my 2 cents comment on GPS...

Cheers!!

I use unioil euro 4, best for egr-equipped vehicles based on what I read here.

Guys, I just notice a crackling sound under the hood of my month-old fort whenever I turn the key on ACC. It sounds like popcorn cooking. I also noted that after I start the engine, turn it off and put the key back to ACC, the sound is no longer there. Anybody experienced this? Something I should be worried about?

[labuyo73]

^ Did another check on this crackling issue this morning. Turns out the sound actually starts when the key is turned in the "ON" position NOT in the ACC position as I initially reported. Maybe(?) it's some sort of automatic electronic/electrical priming in anticipation of the engine firing when the key is turned to START. Need to investigate a bit more and probably call Toyota also just to make sure.

For owners of 5 year-old Forts (and older), ano na pinakamajor na repairs ng units nyo?
Thanks.

Pa help naman, na side swipe ako ng motor, lumipat yung rubber tip ng handle nya sa paint pero naalis naman, although may naiwan na dent sa body. Saan pwede ipagawa ito? Idaan ko nlang kaya sa insurance or mas mura kung sa labas ko nalang ipaayos?

[CLAVEL3699]

Tinakbuhan ka sir? Magkano ba ang participation fee mo? Isang panel lang naman yan then canvass ka kung ikaw ang papagawa usually mga nasa 3k ang isang panel.

[crazy_boy]

Baka makuha sa PDR yan. Less than 1k lang ang PDR.

PDR is best option, since walang paint nasira.
