Obviously 2.7 will be under power than a 3.4 or 4.0
Fuel consumption and buying a Prado/Land Cruiser are two different things. If you need fuel consumption then get a new Altis or Civic.

Bhai get a brand new KIA grand carnival as you have mentioned several times in different forums that you need a comfortable 7 seater for long routes. A new car is much better than used and abused vehicle if you can afford.

For regular use, they are not underpowered, if you expect to outrun a civic or hit the speed limiter on the motorway, only then will you feel it to be underpowered.
Fuel consumption in local is the same, around 7, in long, the bigger engine is more economical by around 1 or 2 kml

Thanks a lot for active response and assisting in my decision.

2.7 Prado is not underpowered for normal driving. It'll only feel underpowered in the scenario given by @dayrider. Otherwise, it's good enough for daily driving

2.7 petrol Prado is seriously under powered

i had TX L Package and used it for sometime. it was no good with 3 adults + approx 300 kgs of stuff at rear deck going through buzi pass or going to balakot

2700 was 7 km / litre in city & 9 with ac

an suv / double cab truck or a cross over shall be over & above 3.0L engine for comfort and real driving pleasure

I just watched PAk wheel review of Fortuner 2.7 2017 Model . Sunil mentioned that the under power is really improved in this version.

any one has 2017+ model of Fortuner ? 2.7 ..

6 adults on board and going on such steep inclines, ofcourse it is not meant for that.
This particular engine is designed particularly to satisfy the city dwellers and highway cruisers.
