ignis Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Was it the Lexus, there is one that is a hybrid that is very close shape to the new Fortuner? and cost 7 million new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish fingers Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Myself can't see the point of must have new, for the same money a 2011/12 gets a higher spec Audi Q5, BMW X3, if you must have Toyota then the RX Lexus.. Its more the peace of mind with a warranty out in Thailand. Things can get expensive if your Q5 starts needing things fixing. The BMW 5 yr warranty is a really good deal, and any Honda has great backup, probably the best in Thailand in our experience (with my wife's car) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The X3 is much smaller an X5 would be closer in size to the Toyota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sviss Geez Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 A Shed in the back of one then.[emoji609] No, not at all. A "Shed" in the back of a pickup would be a pickup carrying around a Civic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it was a Fortuner, the one that is a Fortuner and looks nothing like a Lexus. Why would a new Lexus have the Toyota "T" logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaseTheBass Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I see that all the we can't afford ones are coming out of the closet and slagging it off before even seeing it. What else I would like to ask can you get here if you like to have a big estate motor MUX or the best selling Toyota. Not a lot of choice really. Had a look at the new Revo 4x4 today whilst I was in Toyoto and must say a vast improvement on the Vigo. A thai lad here at work was showing me something about a Revo today (was all in Thai so <deleted> knows what it all said)... He was laughing though as the vehicle clearly had a price of Bt844,000 and amongst the few options listed one was the air conditioning listed at Bt25,000 !! Probably climate control, not A/C. Easy to misunderstand as Thai is such a crap language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jitar Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Interesting that Toyota sell the new Fortuner with Rear Disc brakes in Australia but drums in Thailand? Also strangle the new model looses the full time 4WD and is now stuck with the part time system like the Trailblazer, MU-X and probably the Everest. Wonder if the new PJS will retain the Mitsu Super Select system with the center diff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jitar Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Thanks IMHO, Good to know. I saw a comment somewhere the Everest used the Ranger 4WD system so I was expecting a part time system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMHO Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Thanks IMHO, Good to know. I saw a comment somewhere the Everest used the Ranger 4WD system so I was expecting a part time system. Nope - it uses the Ford "Terrain Command" system, which adjusts front/rear bias, diff locking, throttle response, traction control programming, steering response, and brake response depending on mode: The new 'Tuna uses their "Sigma 4" system - which is really just electronic controlled 2H/4H/4L like a pickup.

Ace of Pop Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 They have buttons . Rain, ice,mud , and another I forget. There are vids for the system. Honda CRV has similar set up for new range...Ah Snow..!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda CRV has similar set up for new range...Ah Snow..!!. But the everest doesn't have a push start button How could they forget that? Anyway, those who have driven both the fortuner and everest state that the everest has much better steering and suspension. And the 2.2 is as quick off the line as the 3.2, until very fast speeds are reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope that when/if Ford do it, they do it right and include driver memory features at the same time, and don't have a brick-sized remote fob like the Fortuner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That look almost reasonably sized, except for the panic button.. This is the Tuna's one: Imagine this in your pocket.... "Is that a Fortuner smart key, or are you just happy to see me?"

Jitar Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 No it does not. The old Fortuners Torsen center diff and the Full time 4WD badge have gone and been replaced by a part time pickup style system with a meaningless marketing name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
