Welcome to all owners of Toyota Fortuner [continued]

[marion2]

Spec-up lang + 5speed AT for better fuel economy and smoother transition. Wala pa balita for the all new fortuner.

Good news ito sa aming mga aspiring owners ah...

Mahal ba maintenance ng diesel kumpara sa gas in the long run?

Definitely.

There is an up-spec 3.0li w/ 5 speed A/T 4x4 and 2.5 VNT w/ 5 speed A/T 4x2 launched in Thailand last Oct 2012. I would expect these units to reach our shores between the third or fourth quarter of this year.

1.) 3.0V up-spec (+HP and + torque) and 5 speed A/T

2. ) 2.5G w/ 5 speed A/T.

These two will surely be launched by 2nd half of 2013.

TMPI has cunningly withheld from our markets the latest iteration of the Fortuner for some time now. This explains why the Fortuners being sold locally are one or two steps behind when compared to Fortuners being sold in Thailand.

Would you have a link of the Thailand Fortuner specs bro? I'm here in Bangkok currently and am quite curious about what we're missing back there in the PH. Only difference I noticed with the newer facelifted TH Fort units that have been servicing the office folks is that there are 'V' gasoline units.

Toyota Motor Thailand has given the Fortuner a technical update for 2012, with a slight increase to the output of the 1KD-FTV 3.0 litre turbodiesel and the inclusion of a five-speed automatic gearbox the key changes.

Equipping four variants in the Kingdom. the 3.0 litre oil burner’s power and torque figures have been revised to 171 PS at 3,600 rpm and 360 Nm at 1,400 to 3,200 rpm from the previous 163 PS and 343 Nm. Malaysia of course doesn’t have the 3.0 litre diesel Fortuner, the 2.7 litre petrol and 2.5 litre diesel equipped models being the versions sold here.

Of more interest is the inclusion of a five-speed auto ‘box into the equation – besides all four 3.0 litre models, the Fortuner 2.5G AT 2WD also gets the new five-speeder AT in Thailand, leaving the sole 2.7 petrol unit the only version retaining the use of the four-speed. The Prerunner versions of the Hilux Vigo also feature the five-speed auto drivetrain.

Locally, both the Fortuner and Hilux pick-up facelifts arrived last year, but are set to feature improvements in the upcoming 2012 MY introduction. The Fortuner 2.5G – as well as the Hilux Double Cab 2.5G – for Malaysia will feature VNT and improved numbers from its 2KD-FTV D-4D mill, these being 144 PS at 3,400 rpm and 343 Nm at 1,600 to 2,800 rpm, but will retain the four-speed auto transmission.

We do have a 3.0 litre diesel Hilux here, will that be updated to 5-speed auto soon, or will it be phased out because of the Hilux 2.5 VNT?

Toyota Fortuner updated in Thailand

O nga, unnoticeable unless you get to drive it. Thanks for the update!

The unit assigned to us was a 2.7L petrol that's the first facelift here in the PHDM (projectors, wider wheels spokes). Ride was pretty much ok, though I did not know if you could credit that to the suspension or to the highway road quality in Bangkok. Acceleration was brisk, but pretty gutless.
