Everest in AUS comes with GPS, can you make it working in Thailand? Hmm. The 2.8 Sportivo is 2 wheel drive and the Titanium is a 4x4.. no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAS21 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Yep ...it does use quite a lot of fuel driving in BK traffic ...13+Ltr/100kms. For service try Ford VPK in ChaengWattana. Angelo, one of the Techs, speaks perfect english and is very informative ...when he found out that we also had a Fiesta Ecoboost he just smiled....... It's not well known but Ford will re-balance your wheels if you take it back before it is 3 months old providing less than 3000kms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattayaBoy Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 As far as I am concerned the Fortuner is just a modified pick-up truck, I sat in one before buying my CRV when the Fortuner first came out, just like sitting in a sedan, a bit cramped space for me, the CRV offered a much better sitting position as does the Everest with much more space for the legs. The Everest is also designed from start to be what it is, nobody's taken a pick-up chassis and re-designed it to be a SUV. The Everest is also a brand new model released this year while the Fortuner is the same old design dating back 10 years or so....Everest is made on the top of the pickup tooSent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I admit I take back what I said. But the fact still remains that I hate Fortuner and all Fortuner owners. Maybe hate about the owners is a bit over the top but just that I don't like people who put up money to buy a crappy Fortuner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlQaholic Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Just now, transam said: They buy reliability........oh, and it does have coil springs on a shorter chassis than it's truck counterpart... Actually I bought a Ranger recently and must admit leaf springs are not bad at all, very sturdy and last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EV has parallel parking and now use it frequently ..it's brill. No gps on the EV screen is pity. I have to find somewhere to stick my phone ...am used to 'maps' now, in fact quite like it. Yep go for Toyota ...you may have to wait a while for a 3.2EV ...if you go for EV wait for sync3 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert24 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I like the Sportivo too. Couldn't get used to the interior design of the other new Fortuner models, so really glad they launched the Sportivo.
