Now that the 2nd fortuner facelift is out, which would you pick among the 2 SUV's?
I know there are a lot of threads regarding this 2 SUV's, but i just want to know your comments & inputs on the
respective "Top of The Line" variants of each latest model.
- Engine Performance
- Suspension & Driving Comfort
- Car Features
What i like on the new 3.0V Fortuner
New front design :thumbup: , except the new tail lights :down:
What i like on the Montero Sport GTV
Paddle shifters & Touch screen info display.
Engine Performance: 3.0V, gotta give it to the 1KD-FTV for its superior torque delivery across the rpm band.
Suspension & Driving Comfort: GTV for now. There are some reports saying that the tweaked suspension of the Fortuner puts it on par with the Montero though I wouldn't count on it yet.
Car Features: GTV, you get paddle shifters, 5spd AT, LCD HU.
Real downside with the GTV or any Montero for that matter is the cramped 2nd row bench, barely three people can fit comfortably. The looks are personal but I find that even the first-gen Fortuner ages better than the Montero.
Fortuner is what I would choose. I actually like the design of the Montero Sport, but the Fortuner seems to have a better driveline.
Depends on what you want. The Fortuner should do better on low end grunt or hauling/towing purposes due to the wider torque plateau but the Montero would be better on top end speed and fuel economy. But the Fortuner is still jittery the last time I rode one (2010 2.5D4D) and it was fully loaded.
Fort for me....
since I already have a montero sport.....
Its like saying you choosed the montero sport to be the better SUV because before you bought it im sure you choosed betweenQuote:

There must be something in a Montero he just can't get enough of:grin:
Not really, I really don't care which is better.... i just like the looks of the montero since it is quite new back then....Quote:

Haha I was at his house yesterday, kating kati ako alamin kung bakit 3 montero, may Fortuner naman, may Sta Fe, heck may Alterra rin na pwede pag pilian. Nahiya lang ako kasi may transaksyones kami baka mapunta sa debate yung usapan at di pa matuloy.hehe
I'll bet TOYOTA Dealers will again give "PRIORITY" to those buyers who will avail of their "DVD/GPS Head Unit Package....just like what happened before...Mark my word....hehehehe ..:twak2:Quote:

I mean most buyers don't really care about the performance...... kapag type nila yun sasakyan eh di yun ang bibilhin nila
We owned 2 CR-Vs naman :twak2: Para lang nagsayang ng gas :grin:
Anyway, medyo trip ko yung front ng 2012 Fortuner. Pero sablay talaga yung likod.
Ang Montero Sport GT-V panalo talaga sa features.
Tsaka ok naman yung looks ng GT-V dahil sa honeycomb grille at CF covered spoiler.
magkano naman yun package? i've seen someone selling dvd/gps HU for the Fort selling around 30 k, compatible kaya iyon pati sa steering remote? sa montero daw 100 k ang sinisingil ng mitsu casa?Quote:

Yung 2 pwede pa, kung type talaga yung sasakyan, yung 3rd ang parang, WOW ano yung nakita mo at bumili ka ng pangatlo. Although wala naman ako beef dun, nilagay ko lang sa thread na to kasi baka makatulong sa TS na may taong sobra pagibig sa Montero at 3 ang binili.:grin:
