2.5D4D innova is also equipped with turbo.

Walang turbo ata innova.. if merong turbo yan you can't get it below 800k for the J model

pilgrim, i would suggest the dark gray. nung first time ko cya nakita, pangit kako kc the fortuner i was following was dirty. when my agent called me up to inform me that they have a unit available with that color, i was apprehensive. pero nung nakita ko cya sa casa, all that changed. ang ganda pala. now all my friends are saying na okay yung color, very unique.

This is just my take on that particular engine (2.5l D4D), which was conducted on a short test drive of an Innova G a/t at the Fort last July.

I dont know what others use, but for me, a quick way to tell an engine's power is through an abrupt pedel-to-the floor acceleration. The Innova 2.5l D4D, which is lighter than a Fortuner, felt very slow during acceleration and needed higher revs to gain momentum. If I remember correctly, it initially struggled to reach 60Kph, but beyond that point/speed it felt more responsive. On the other hand, the 2.0 vvti gas engine, felt much more responsive acclerating (almost like a rocket) than the 2.5l D4D. Just my two cents.

The whole point is not about comparing the two (technically different but similar) vehicles, but to give one an idea how the Fortuner 2.5l would respond generally. If ever there was a comparison, it is how the 2.5l D4D would respond to different weight loads (in this case, lighter body, Innova, and heavier body, Fortuner). So imagine, if an Innova 2.5l D4D (which is lighter in weight between the two vehicles) is quite anemic already then one would expect it to be even worse on the Fortuner 2.5l.

Fortuner 2.5G will definitely be slower than Innova 2.5G due to the added height & weight. But hey, Its traffic here, traffic there, traffic everywhere.
if the 2.5 diesel can haul a Hi-ace Grandia with a dozen people, Then the engine is capable enough for the Fortuner.
And I think Philippines in the only country to introduced a 2.5 Fortuner. (not sure about it)

Malaysia also introduced a 2.5 G diesel. Their top model is the 2.7 V Gas with all the bells and whistles of the Thai model. However they don't have a 3.0 Diesel model.

guys, malakas ba ang headlights ng fortuner? balak ko kasi i-tint ang buong windshield once makuha ko unit ko. na-try ko na kasi sa car ko yung 3M magic dark tint. medyo nadidiliman ako sa gabi, lalo na pag sobrang dilim at umuulan. ano ang ma-recommend niyo na tint? gusto ko dark tignan sa labas pag daytime at ok naman ang vision ko pag night driving. thanks.

Has anyone tried installing an ipod in their fortuner without using an itrip? As in direct installation with a cable using the stock radio. Possible ba ito?

I guess the issue about the 2.5 d4d's power can only be answered by owners themselves. If you are really after the power and into 4x4, no doubt get the 3.0 d4d. But if you are the average driver that rarely floors the gas pedal and is after fuel economy 2.5 d4d is the variant to take.

According to Toyota's specs, Innova "J" (D-4D variant), "E", and "G" (D-4D variant) all use the same engine (2KD-FTV).

Yes, the 2KD-FTV (D-4D) is turbo charged.
