Popular Post Scouse123 Posted October 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2022 Guys, I just traded in my top of the range 4 X 4 pickup. four years old and not even 30,000 KM on the clock due to not going anywhere with Covid situation. It was mint condition and I pulled 800K from a Thai guy privately. I have now bought the brand new Toyota Legender 2.4L and I got to say its space age and a fantastic ride. Delighted with the purchase at 1,620,000 baht. Not cheap but a great motor. Do yourselves a favour if you are in the market for a new one and take a test drive. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomer6969 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Is this a Fortuner evolution, with the good old truck chassis? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chose the CRV as had never driven trucks and it had the handling of a sedan, and could cope with the 8 inches deep potholes we have here. I get 13k/Liter from the 2.4 engine, but E20 not Diesel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the TRD 4x4 (2.8l) from a couple of years ago and with my slow driving style I need 7.8 liters per 100km. You should be able to beat that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussieroaming Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I've had my vehicle for 1.5 years and have only done 5500 km in it. I should have bought a 4 x 4 ute so that I could have thrown a dirt bike on the back, I might have used it more then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes it so space age? The Legender is a trim-level of the Fortuner. I believe it replaced the TRD Sportivo model. It has different headlights and bumpers from the standard Fortuner and some other trim/equipment differences. Seems well priced. Likely introduced to maintain interest and sales until the 'all new' Fortuner arrives. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree on that unless you were in a different car to what I am driving. I find the interior sleek and way better than previous models But each to their own. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights, dashboard, interior , all round cameras including 3D, and a panel loaded with apps. Also a very comfortable leather interior. 6'3" I dont have an issue getting in and out.

Ford doesn't seem to have national coverage for maintenance as much as Toyota does. Also, Porsche and Benz are a totally different animal and price range.

Yes, I have been in trucks now for 12 years. I did have a Fortuner 14 years ago but this is streets ahead of that car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Toyota reliability and build quality remains a strong favorite with me, the brand has never let me down. The four tuna is too big for my taste, perhaps the new model will suit me better. Until then I'll stick with my Vigo and sadly, I will never buy a Ford for the all the opposite reasons of why I will buy a Toyota. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fortuner is too big but you 'love' the Raptor.....hmmm No idea why so many people have the Raptor, i had a wildtrack before when i was building my house, sold it as soon as i didn't need it anymore - horrible.
