More than enough power for driving in Thailand . You really think that "sports mode" gives more power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 1959 Mini 850 had a top speed of about 70mph...I just had a look at the advertised 0-60mph, it was 27 seconds... Fortuner must be around 10 seconds and well over a 100mph....

If you had cared to look you would have found that I was replying to a previous post as to why the 2.8 has better economy than a 2.4. It's a power to weight thing. Note to self don't try to educate the 1/2 a brain cell peeps on TV. Might just be better for them to go back to their room and play with their Lego.

The 2.4 4wd will be even slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogandave Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Yeah, 2 seconds is over 20%, not insignificant. Given the smack the Ford guys around here talk, am I the only one surprised the Ford is slower and burns more fuel that the Toyota? Too funny.

transam Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 So it seems the extra cost of the 2.8 isn't all about the engine, it includes a more refined interior... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a very good chance the everest / ranger will come with the 10 speed/2.0biturbo later this year. Will be interesting to see the figures for those.
