Confused on purchase of petrol or diesel Fortuner

[saboor73]

If you want 4x4, than why not a freshly import prado 2.7 petrol in the same range?

2.7L Prado is like gli auto 1.3L engine is just there to pull it forget any performance from it

[Khurramchauhdary]

Go for diesel 4x4 and if not than don't spend this much on patrol 4x2, instead buy a BRV it will do the job a lot better in every aspect.

The fortuner also has the same engine. So same performance as the Prado.

[livenkickin]

Is the diesel engine easy as far as maintenance is concerned?
I have a 2005 2.0d saloon. Have gotten its engine rebuilt 3 times already.
Verymuch concerned about that!!

[saboor73]

The fortuner also has the same engine. So same performance as the Prado.

Weight sir weight you can't throw a corolla engine in a crown and expect both to performance equal

[livenkickin]

Thinking of the petrol variant. Diesel engines can be cumbersome i think....

[ChaudhryRaza96]

Comparing br-V with Fortuner is like comparing Mehran and Corolla Br-V is mpv and Fortuner is SuV....comparing 6 million Suv with 2.2 Million Van

[livenkickin]

I dont like the shape of BR-V at all. Havent driven it and dont need to.

[livenkickin]

Thanyou for your replies and thoughts.
After getting better informed, have decided on the petrol variant.

Inshallah will book my ride this coming week.

Go for diesel bhai I bought diesel and ultimate satisfaction

[usama_awan_360]

@atta6082 brother i am planning to buy one but the thing forcing me to change my plan is the issue of diesel quality in Pakistan and its maintenance as compared to 2.7. Can u pls share your review of experience so far and if I buy one, how do i need to take care of that turbo diesel engine?

[mshoaib432722]

Previous diesel engines were D4D. Now the Revo and new fortuner have 1gd-ftv diesel engine. It is totally ok for pakistani diesel so for the diesel variant. You will love it.

[atta6082]

What I have experienced is good pumps have good diesel and good Petrol. Bad pumps and both of the same stuff. I have drove around more than 6500 Kms and traveled from Peshawar to khunjarab pass to lahore and well I haven’t felt any problems with diesel any where. It’s very powerful and responsive. All in all I am not disappointed except just one thing Toyota wants to change oil after 2500kms,, as they were saying it’s a turbo variant. Consider your needs and then decide.

[mshoaib432722]

Which grade oil are they recommending?

[pwuser154989403586]

Does the diesel engine require more maintainance other than 2500km oil change?
Also confused abt 2700 or 2800 sigma.
Ive heard 2700 is underpower.

[Fayaz02]

Engine Power hp Torque Nm
2.7 2TR-FE 160 246
2.8 L 1GD-FTV 177 420

2.7 is petrol while 2.8 is diesel engine

[uansari11]

It doesn’t require 2500km oil change intervals unless you’re mixing sewage with the oil lol

Stick to 5000km and let the oil do it’s job of cleaning then protecting.

[hash4u]

international standards are 15,000km's for oil change on this engine. and local dealers asking 2500km's/ absurd difference

[uansari11]

The manual states an OCI of 10k km...it’s 5k km in “severe” conditions or where fuel is over 3500ppm sulfur (our fuel is at most 500ppm). Considering Karachi’s dust, I’d say 5-7.5k km is reasonable. So yes, the dealerships are bilking people that don’t know better.

From experience, bought a latest fortune in petrol and went to village,it was without a doubt one of the worst suv I drove , cam back and traded for a diesels had to pay own as well ,but it’s almost 4 months and already had 15k miles on it as my dad drives it a lot to village , and yet we have face any problem so far , go for the deiseal one don’t get the shitty petrol one and don’t get a Prado , zero meter is zero meter .
