    So for context, watch TV’s whole video. You’ll see a Ram 1500, Nissan Navara, Volkswagen Amarok, Ford Ranger, Isuzu D-Max (Chevy Colorado) and Mitsubishi Triton go through the same test with significantly less dramatic results.

    Interesting to say the least. I wonder how and if the results transposes to the new fortuner as well. Have fortuners owners in the family kasi.

    Wow. Best just run over the moose then. Maybe a change to a wider set of rims and tires with more negative offset would help?

    I thought the suspension was sporty stiff... truck stiff pala.

    They're huge. I think this isn't even a full grown one.


    Siguro travel slowly na lang in Moose country.

    Noticed that too. The front end in particular. Wow.

    Buti wala tayong moose dito. J/K. It's good to know that limitation as awareness goes a long way.

    With our own local conditions, I notice the handling deficiency when driving at highway speeds then you simulate a emergency brake and steer maneuver, the rear really gets left behind and your street movements are hindered to keep the car balanced. Best is to really brake and scrub the speed before steering hard.

    Notice the tire flex on the 18s in the picture. Hopefully using 20s with a lower profile and upgraded shocks can help.

    May mga wild pigs minsan and kadalan aso naman dito sa pinas, mayroon din bolang biglang tatalbog sa kalsada.
    Defensive driving and fatigue management on or before travel, maybe...

    It looks like it's really better to just brake hard and face the moose headon to avoid that quick maneuver.



    The lower the vehicle, the higher the chance you'll have a moose on your side or face.


    Googling carabao/cow vs car... Lol!

    Cows would usually win and claim the car as price.


    You're lucky if you hit the smooth (not pointed) edge of the carabao:

    kung sa saudi pa iyan camels naman ang kalaban. pero mas malaki ata ang camel kesa sa moose

    i've heard horror stories of our kababayans hitting camels over there and total wreck daw talaga. pero minsan buhay pa din daw iyong mga camel

    My opinion ang Fort would almost be same ang performance, though I might be wrong kase iba naman rear suspension set ip ng Fort and its bro Hilux. Sana me magtest din ng para sa mga PPV based SUV ganun na evasive maneuvering.
    Ive heard a lot of Early gen Fort na nagroll over sa middle east and South Africa, I dunno lang now with the new gen Fort.

    True. And magagaling naman tumawid mga kalabaw dito The risk of running over a small child is a lot bigger than any animals here. There is practically no wildlife in most areas. I'd just run slower if in populated areas.

    I'd also widen the track as much as I can. Tires and rims that stick out more certainly helps.

    Ok based on what i understand on the Moose test is that the car is loaded with maximum passenger & cargo & you do an evasive maneuver.. which is highly unlikely you will do that mostly you will just hit the break * that speed so the Moose test is good for awareness but is not that big of a deal for me...

    costly Hilux SR5 4.0L engine in land down under that's why buyers shift to other brand but mining co. prefers this Workmate variant--Toyota said, the making of UNBREAKABLE--this Moose Test is much concern for reckless drivers overtaking maneuver. see on the road guys--Rio Tinto WA
