LEAKED: Toyota to launch 2.5L VN Turbo Intercooler engine for the Fortuner and Hilux

Kaya nga. Yung Prado diesel 1KD-FTV din pero mas malaks naman sa Hilux at Fort. Sana yung Super Grandia may ganun din addt'l feature. Mahal eh.

Mas mabilis ba yung 1KD-FTV nung nasa Prado kaysa yung sa Fort? Di pa ko nakakadrive ng Prado, akala ko pareho lang sila ng performance sa 3.0V Fort.

Mas mataas yung torque ng Prado

Prado - 410NM @ 2800RPM

Fortuner 3.0V - 343 @ 1400-3200 RPM

Sayang ang mahal na ng Prado ngayon, halos 3.8M. Konti nalang, LC200 na. Eh kung tutuusin, Pajero BK lang yung katapat ng Prado.

Nope, mas pinalakas yung engine ng Prado and different tranny as well. And yeah, Prado (due to JPEPA) is priced at a disadvantage vs the Pajero BK.

Sabagay kahit hindi na yung mga Hiace Commuter pero yung more expensive hiaces should have this improved engine as well IMO. Sobrang ginatasan ng Toyota eh. Kaya panis yan kung tutuusin sa Hyundai GS. Sabagay kahit pa VNT na eh panis pa din sa GS.

Toyota fanbois don't fret about this okay.

Nawala na ata yung fanboi.

But yes, maganda if they can at least put this in the Grandia GL and Super Grandia. Although power is generally still good (it's not underpowered) with the current engine, you can start to feel it wanting once you really load up with passengers and baggage.

sana yung bagong fortuner na lalabas eh may side moulding naman parang innova G/V para mas magandang tingnan yung gilid, parang ang plain kasi sa doors eh hehe.

Yup, and so I read nga. Makes the GLS-V still a gear higher I wonder will it also have a rear disc brake like the middle line Montero Sport???
