Kyle. We had the 2016 and now we have the ltd. Seems they retuned the suspension to eliminate the bounce. Its still firm but definitely not bouncy as before. The new 2.8 engine is a charm. Comparing it with our terra, its heaps firmer and harsher but you can feel that its a more solid machine. Your review of the 2016 is spot on re suspension, engine and jerky transmission. The 2.4 engine also loses steam midway. Great review. No sugarcoating.
That grab handle on the second row. I have been looking for one like that. As an owner of a 2009 and 2016 Fortuner, I can tell you the first generation Fortuner is even bumpier. But a 2009 Montero Sport actually rides better than this one. The most annoying thing about both Fortuners is the noise the 3rd row seats makes when you stow them to the sides.
I forgot where we got ours. Some guy from Banawe who did home service installed it for us haha! I agree with you on the 2009 Montero. Driven one and actually reviewed one already a while back but I had audio issues with the video so I ended up deleting the video. For the 3rd row seats, I used to have that problem until I tightened the velcro straps on the locking mechanism for it.
@@KyleLiongCars Unfortunately, those Velcro do wear out, and after a few bumps on the road, they easily loosen up. I just put my 3rd row seat down now, even though no one seats there 😅
I love the fact na dumaan ka sa roads kung saan ako nagdadriving lessons 3 months ago around 8:56 to 12:10, the driving school let me drive a Manual 2017 Fortuner G and all the things na sinabi mo sa driving portion was right. It was bumpy, and the interior is a bit lacking compared to like, a Montero GLX Manual of that time. But the thing i loved about it is, malakas ang hatak nya pero i feel like it should have had the 2.8 engine na kagaya ng Innova.
Halos same lang sila nung Innova actually kadi kahit 2.8 yung Innova, detuned rin engine nun compared sa Fortuner na 2.8. Hatak pa rin nito overall, adequate, pero parang halos normal feeling lang for a diesel because torquey tlga sila. Yes I hate the roads there haha! Dating daily route ko yan to the office papuntang Skyway and di lang malubag, sobrang traffic pa :(
Your video's really informative. And some correction in your description, the 4.0 V6 is only sold in the Middle East not Australia and New Zealand which these last 2 markets only gets the 2.8 engine just like here in Southeast Asia. 🙂
@@KyleLiongCars Your welcome, also FYI the first gen Fortuner was never sold in Australia and New Zealand until the current second gen model arrived in those markets in 2015. :)
@@KyleLiongCars Im considering the 2020 toyota Fortuner v 4x2 because it has a lot more features than the innova such as cruise control, led lights and drl, nicer wheels, higher ground clearance, nicer gauge cluster, and the design of it but I kinda of consider also the ride comfort because you know the Fortuner isn't that good on comfort and the 2.4 engine which the innova has 2.8 and I actually heard that 2020 toyota Fortuner owners complain about the transmission lag and also the 2.4 engine which they said we're kind of slow and underpowered considering the weight of the car.
Is there a way to differentiate a 2.4 V and a 2.8 V? I cannot seem to find any exterior differences, also the engine bay. I'm skeptical that if I choose to buy a 2.8 they might just hand over a 2.4 with all the papers stating its a 2.8. Same may happen with secondhand sellers
I own this and have been driving it daily since 2016. I even used it as an Uber Black and Lazada delivery car haha! It’s an okay car overall, but having driven so much other cars, there’s just way better options than the Fortuner. To each their own I guess xD
@@KyleLiongCars owning others cars for 5 years then compare expenses on each car. I think that's the time you can conclude which is better. Toyota focus on reliability more secondary comfort & tech.
Yes sir own multiple cars for the past years and maintenance wise, the Fortuner is nothing special nor significantly cheaper. We have an LC200 too and FJ which is about the same to maintain costs wise
@@KyleLiongCars Sir is it really worth it to go for Montero GLS Premium than the GLS variant po? Malaki po ba talaga difference when it comes to features/specs po?
Features and specs wise, not big of a difference, but if you're very particular about safety, malaking improvement sa GLS yung GLS Premium. You get side airbags, curtain airbags, and traction control, plus 18" rims.
kmusta steering wheel bro? mabigat ba? na drive mo ba gen 2 fortu? ganun ba kabigat or lighter? thanks bro! nice vlog. have you tried to out aftermarket suspension for better performance?
Ito sir yung gen 2 na diba? Yes mabigat steering wheel dito. Di ko pa natry aftermarket suspension. Siguro pagnasira na stock palitan ko aftermarket hehe
It honestly is no way practical to buy the gas version here cause diesel fuel is way cheaper, and although the gas variant is cheaper to purchase, it only comes as a base model trim, and resale value in the future is really lower compared to the diesel variant. The gas 2.7L is also pretty underpowered :( I tried it in the Prado 120
Hi kyle we have the same family car skl. Ibang variant lang 2019 G. Just wanna ask anong ibig mong sabihin sa eco mode that saves 0.1 or 0.2 in gas consumtion? Does that mean it saves 0.1/0.2 km/l kung i eco when compared sa power mode?
@@KyleLiongCars Nice Thanks! Gusto ko rin idagdag gumagawa rin ba weird na tunog paminsan pag iniistart nyo? Ganon napapansin ko sa mga fortuner A/T eh. Wala naman sa mga M/T.

Another great review, thanks Kyle!
Thanks! More exciting cars to come!
Great review! Really enjoy the way you make your videos. Would love to see a new Monterosport review!
Thanks! Will review one when the chance arises
Is 150ps sufficient for 5 passengers on board? The 4x4 variant has more power but its too expensive, and we're not planning to do any off-roading.
Yeah it’s not quick but it’s more than enough. Torque is more important for this
Which one is better to actually buy, A 2024 toyota fortuner ltd 4x2 or a 2024 toyota innova g? Planning to buy but i cant decide.
For me, Innova tbh

Is there a chance you will review a gen1 gas variant? this was an awesome honest review for sure.
Doubt but if one comes up, why not haha! Thanks

Just check the interior. Below the AC controls, there will be a knob to adjust for 4x2 or 4x4 settings there in the 2.8 variant
@@KyleLiongCars thanks man! this is noted
No prob
As usual, very in-depth and honest review. Out of 10, how would you rate the 2016 fortuner?
Thank you! Overall it’s still a 9/10 for what it is, and I can’t fault for that, but it’s just not for me. Too uncomfortable.
Out of 10 it is 11 for me.
hello still waiting for a car review from 1990s cars thank you
No chance to review one so far. Will do so when the opportunity arrives :)
its okay
Well we own one and you're being dramatic
I would rate it 21/10

Great review. Fortuner Q or ltd 4x2?
Of course the LTD, but it’s more expensive too
Nice review, please also do a review on the CRV Diesel and CX5 diesel
Thanks! Also looking for them :)
Compared to the 2008 3.8l Pajero is the 2016 Fortuner more comfortable ?
Nope
nice review sir 😊montero sports 2016 naman
Thanks. Maghahanap ako ng magpapahiram
What's more better Fortuner or Everest...?
Everest
thanks for an honest review

Get the Montero :D

Yep. Overall I think I prefer the older Fortuner pa haha
Pede po ba sa baha yan?may napanuod kase ko nalubog sa baha un pickup iyak
Lahat naman kaya sa baha but depende lang talaga sa lalim. In this case about 700mm
magkano po yan 2016 model n yan
