Toyota Fortuner 2.5 4x2 or 3.0 4x4? [Merged]

[trader]

hi...i have reserved a 2.7g in toyota mkti..but my agent told me that it will be much easier to get a 2.5d 4x2..pagnarelease na...worthit ba un 2.5d4d? and how is the mileage ng 2.7g???

thnx to all the infos...

The mileage so far for my 2.7 averages 6 km/l traffic in the city and hoping it will further improve as the pistons seat in. The 3.0 of my friend doesn't get that much better mileage at 8 km/l and he drives to and from Alabang which theoretically should produce much better mileage. As a rule, if you are a low mileage user, the extra Php's to buy the diesel simply doesn't make sense. Pero kung lagari ka, then it would be worth every cent in terms of fuel savings and engine life.

As for the 2.5D4D, performance will definitely suffer. It might also bring you back to the mileage of the 3.0 But that is all conjecture for now until the real deal arrives. Good luck

bro samin 20k ung bnigay namin reservation fee.. tpos sabi nga, sept-nov daw makuha... hindi nman daw lalampas december.. un ang promise samin nung agent nun ah.. ewan ko lng ngayon.. pero sabi ng fren ko na nagwowork sa chevy, sabi nun auntie nya na head sa isang toyota branch, eh sa october daw lalabas ng madaming stocks.. dun daw mabibigay lhat ng nka waitlist...

mababa siguro ang mileage because of its size and weight. baka di kaya ng 2.7 vvti ang size ng fortuner kaya you tend to step on the pedal for more power..

[squala]

Maybe the 2.5 4X2 ain't that bad in terms of performance. It's D4-D anyway, so it just might be at par with the 2nd gen Pajero 2.5.

We are planning to buy Toyota Fortuner this month I just want to have some expert opinion which is a better buy a 2.5 4x2 or 3.0 4x4? we'll be using it often for city driving, how bout the fuel consumption? malakas ba fuel consumption sa 3.0 or halos no diff with 2.5?

[oldblue]

syempre mas malakas ng kaunti yun 3.0. hit or miss yun 2.5, swerte kung di mo makuha yun mga lemon units na 2.5D4D na may supply pump problem. ma-eenjoy mo ng husto yun 2.5D4D, low investment, low fuel consumption, and of course, the ever popular Fortuner design and reputation.

for 300k more sa 3.0d4D, for me lang ha, not worth it kung hindi mo iaakyat or i-off-roading. pero if you're a true-blooded 4x4 person, sulit na sulit yan based from the pics of some 4x4 tsikoteers here.

i'd rather get the 2.7V gas kaysa sa 3.0. pang-gas na din yun extra 300k for 3-4 years kung pang-city driving lang fortuner mo.
