2012 Fortuner 3.0V vs Montero Sport GTV

[robin_micmac]

opening the hood will indeed cool the engine bay much quicker but it will be more beneficial to your hood's paint finish and the other plastics and rubbers inside the engine bay but not for the turbo. When you turn off the engine the oil in the turbo drains back to sump. if your oil burns and solidifies into the turbine shaft when the engine has been shut down then I guess you are using the wrong oil spec for your engine as your engine is no longer producing heat. Imagine what will happen to that oil when the turbo is spinning at 200k rpm. I know it doesnt hurt to open your hood after a long drive as it is free as someone mentioned earlier. I myself do that too but it is more to prolong my paint finish and the elastomers inside the engine bay and not for the turbo. If it is really necessary, the car makers would have developed a system the opens the hood after a long drive or a fan that would help draw out the heat from the engine bay after you shut down the engine.

^ so if it doesn't hurt to open it, just open the hood as well for it's other benefit.

But the best is not to shut it down and let it idle for min. of 2 mins IMO. Longer idling if its really under too much stress for so long.

[robin_micmac]

just make sure you parked your car in a secured place before leaving the hood open or someone else might nick some of your components.

Yup, relaxing a bit after enjoying the ride with the MS or Fort. (para hindi maging OT)

Gumanda na po ba yung ride quality ng Fortuner 2012?

Just a bit, does not even come close to the Montero Sport.

Haha! Maganda pala ride ng Montysport, let alone the comment "....doesn't even come close...." ---- Sarado na kaagad ang statement to not even qualify how, where it is better

Having a Montysport as well, it's only a bit well-suspended for on-road use but the Toyota Fortuner is better in hard offroading; mas useable suspension ni Mr. Forty dito....

Besides, mismong drivers nga nila misis sabi parang isang malaking Crosswind lang na ang ingay din ng makina

Kahit paminsan-minsan naman, huwag naman gaanong halatang-obvious ang bola sir ;)

Maraming salamat sa lahat ng infos, replies & comments niyo regarding these to SUV's . We finally decided to get the
2012 Montero Sport GLS V not the GTV kasi halos pareho na ang features ng GLS V sa GTV . Daming new features yung bagong GLS V compared sa fortuner. Napangitan kame sa bagong tail light ng fortuner & luma na kasi body shell.

with this statement of the TS, it writes "30" to this thread

congratulations on your choice

see you at the monty threads and MSCP

[GTi]

Congrats on your new ride, bro! Hope you enjoy it! Its nice to know that you've saved a few hundred grand for a few more tanks of gas, HID kit, a piggyback ECU, big rims, K&N air filter... :rofl:

I saw the new features for the 2012 GLS-V.. Medyo malulugi ng konti yung mga bibili ng GT-V

Pero kung kukuha ulit kami ng MS, GT-V parin. In quartz brown + bronze 20" VR TE37 :naughty2:

[ChickenBreast]

may option ba ang forty straight from the casa na magiging mas techy siya sa loob like the monty?

or ikaw na mismo maglalagay ng mga headunit etc for this?

Yup. Super-loaded na GLS-V. Same engine. Same automatic. Same toys. Same everything except 4WD, which you will hardly ever use, anyway.

Exterior appearance at 4WD system nalang yung difference eh.

Tapos ang dali-dali gayahin ng looks ng GT-V.. May nakita ako ganyan.....

Hmm... ala Lancer GLS to GTA? Konying make-up lang?

Medyo sablay nga... Mitsubishi should have added just a few more toys to the GT-V or taken a few away from the GLS-V. That 4WD system don't mean nuthin' on the road, since it's a switchable 4WD system with 4-Hi and 4-Low, which you can't activate on pavement.

In other words, you only see the benefits on muddy off-road trails (not just farm trails... most 2WD trucks can do farm trails), which only one in every 100 Monteros will ever see.

Best-bang-for-the-buck Montero, GLS-V in automatic. Faster than the 4WD and the manual (medyo notchy ang manual) and probably the best non-Korean diesel SUV for under 2m at the moment.

[Starex_Gold]

Sana lang a different set of rims sa GT-V. At sunroof.

Nakita ko na kasi sa MOA yung 2012 GT-V, ayun may china made rear camera at side mirror turn lamp (sa wakas). Sabay yung dating location ng turn lamp nilagyan ng chrome cover (err..)

Agree, the GLS-V A/T is the bang for the buck midsize SUV for now. Intayin natin yung 2013 Alterra at Everest.

At mas ok parin yung GT-V than Fortuner V pagdating sa features. Pero sa looks, subjective na yan.

Hmm... ala Lancer GLS to GTA? Konying make-up lang?

Parang yung Lancer EX MX na gumaya sa Evo sabay drum yung rear brakes?

[fullmetal]

salamat sa thread na to medjo gumanda ang tingin ko sa bagong fortuner pero di ko parin talaga makakalimutan yung pangit ng ride ng fortuner(1st gen) ng tito ko, kaya simula nun di na nasali ang fortuner sa options pag bibili ng bagong kotse eh

The GLS-V AT is faster than the GLS-V MT? There is a MT version right?
