Welcome to all owners of Toyota Fortuner [ARCHIVED]

[vicoyski]

Yup, looks like it oldblue. The list owner said earlier that the details are not needed (he's probably upset I inadvertedly poured cold water on the house party). So that proves the list is really for Fortuner-owners/future owners only. That's what I was trying to clear out in the beginning.

*IPSG_SlimShady: Partner, I am very sorry if my earlier reaction to your post seemed harsh... The term "bragging list" was just an unacceptable description of this thread, as you can see from the reaction of several other posters. Anyway, the house party will continue... Your cold water is a welcome refreshment... I hope to see you post more often, as well. Peace...

Sir, sayang naman kung ipagpalit mo Trooper sa Fortuner. Classic SUV ang design ng Trooper and the last of its kind na iyan. When it comes to performance i.e. acceleration halos pareho iyan. Durability wise proven na ang Trooper in the league iyan ng Land Cruiser. .

magmula noon ma-news na nag headon yun Land Cruiser at Trooper
sa flyover ng Ortigas, nawalan na ako ng bilib sa Trooper.

celebrated itong news na ito, lasing yun scion na driver ng Land Cruiser
at biglang tumalon sa opposite lane. na head-on nya yun trooper who
happens to be a presidential adviser of GMA na papunta lang sa work at 530AM.

durog na durog yun harapan ng Trooper as in umabot sa front passenger
seats yun pagka-crumple. while yun Land Cruiser wasak lang yun half ng
front.

the scion survived and was later on captured somewhere in a fishing boat
in the South escorted by two police superintendents. They were trying
to escape from the backdoor. When arrested, nakiusap yun mga escort
pulis: "papatayin ang bata kapag d na nailabas ng bansa".

OT: speaking of accidents, i wonder which among the 7 seater SUVs in the market today will best ensure your chances of survival in case of a head on collision?

Just a quick question about the ride quality/smoothness of the Fortuner: I noted that in Tsikot's quick review on the Fortuner (main page on the site) they state that all the bumps and minor shakes are trasmitted directly to your backside (or words to that effect), is this true? Is the ride quality that harsh? I've ridden in a Patrol, Everest, and Sorento and the rides were very smooth, does the Fortuner compare well with these? Thanks for any info.

Compare it with Terrano, 90s Patrol or the 10-seater CRV, fortuner i think is a lot better. It is about the same compared to late 90s land cruiser. You cant compare fortuner with cars like cefiro, altis or camry though.

In terms of smoothness, this is the order of the rides you mentioned (1 being the best):
1. Sorento (very car-like)
2. Patrol (latest gas model)
3. Fortuner
4. Everest

thanks for the info fortfan, vicoyski...

I was very impressed by the ride quality of the sorento and patrol, and since I'm partial to toyota I was thinking of replacing my altis with a fortuner, thinking that I'ld get a much smoother/more comfortable ride than the sedan, but with what you've said it seems the tsikot reviewers weren't offbase with their comment on the relative harshness of the fortuner's ride.

OT: iba ba ang suspension ng gas variant ng PATROL sa diesel variant?

RHB, You know what? I gave up my Altis for the Fortuner and so far no regrets. (well... it has been only several days)

Vic, have you installed your back up sensor yet?
Which is better? a 2-sensor unit or a 4-sensor unit.
