2014 Toyota Fortuner Stripped Down Version

[vinj]

hehehe mukang pikon na pikon ka sir.. mga fortuner ng pinsan ko at officemates ko wala occ at hindi blanked ang egr pero hindi mausok na kagaya ng montero.. yung isang officemate ko gusto na nya ibenta montero nya baka may kilala ka gusto bumili..

happy new year.. peace..

The Montero may tend to have smoke but most i've seen we're the white wiff (while idle) or black wiff when under sudden pedal input situations that involves a immediately richer fuel mix. It's not alarming and i would assume that if they are properly maintained and given a good carbon cleaning italian tune-up regularly, these should not pose any emission problems in the long run.

However, whether it be a D4d of 4d56, you can tell when they have emissions that are bad due to poor maintenance or faulty fuel systems. These are usually characterized by the black smoke floating even under light acceleration. The Innova G i was following last Monday at the NLEX Mindanao Ave exit was such. He cut me off unintentionally and tried to make amends and accelerate so as to put space between us, and i could see the black smoke floating out; this was a 2010 or 2011 model based on his plate and bronze body color.

When i also first bought my Innova J (second hand), it had a low mileage and the owner rarely used it so when i brought it out on NLEX for the first time I had a thick trail of carbon build up smoke when i pushed it hard. After another change oil and cleaning of the air filter, and a few more highway runs, the smoke was gone. Our Hiace Grandia also has carbon build up when it gets relegated to short city duties inbetween our out of town trips.

Anyway, between the Fort and the Monty, i still prefer the former as despite it's age, it seems to have aged well and i prefer the seats and interior trim of the Fortuner.

Is the 2.5 V AT 5 speed or has the same 4 speed sa 2.5 G AT? Just inquiring because I'm planning to change my Eve to Fort or TB.

Happy New Year po mga bossing!

Ask ko lang po kung totoo yung mga rumors na may major makeover ang fortuner this year? Planning to get a fortuner this month po sana.

Thanks in advance

Same 4 spd transmission on all variants. Not really a deal breaker though.

Personal preference is really where it all boil down to, whether you prefer Monty or Fort.

Both are diesel engines, and diesel engines (generally) emits more smoke compared to gas engine ones.

Difference is mainly how good the engine (or car) is maintained and lots of other differentiating aspects (sudden pedal to the metal, heavy load, road condition, tire PSI, etc.)

Respect each other's opinion and as much as possible, avoid bashing or contradicting other's findings. What they saw/experience might be different that yours. And also avoid stating mere fallacies especially if they are from hearsays and were not generally acknowledged as the SUV's fault or defect.

Happy New Year tsikot!

Thanks car_bore. I may consider the alternative if that's the case. BTW, any idea when will Toyota consider replacing the 4 speed to 5 or 6 speed AT of the Fort?
