Sir you may want to check [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] for more info on which variant to choose from. Believe me, almost all your question is already answered there.

DIESEL mas practical if you go for speed go for GAS.

Well, you can only have 4WD on the turbo diesel version...

I just bought a 4x4 fortuner last saturday. I was so excited to have this car that I didnt bother to check the sound of its engine. When I got home my dad tried to compare it with our 4x4 hi-lux. The hilux was with us for 2 years now and compared to my bnew fortuner, the engine noise of the hi-lux is more subtle for a diesel engine(plus considering the fact that its alredy 2 years old).

This morning I went back to my dealer and asked to have the car checked. They parked beside my suv another fortuner w/c is exactly the same variant (pati nga color) as mine and compared the engine noise. Its the same naman but I was skeptical. Sana pala nagdala ako ng sound meter para ma sure. Our hi-lux is often mistaken to be gasoline based than diesel. With my fortuner I feel like I'm driving a truck in terms of its engine noise.

When in full stop the torque is not that admirable but when it picks up speed, it really speeds up. I can even loosen my step in the accelerator once i get the momentum i want. it glides pretty well making it more pocket friendly in terms of diesel consumption. I didnt opt for as gasoline one mainly gasoline is expensive, it only has a 4x2 variant, and it has lesser power.

Good luck in choosing the right car for you

If I have more budget then I'll go for 3.0 Diesel 4X4,but regarding the D4D issues then I just go for 4X2 Gas

Yung 2.5 D4D lang naman nagkaproblema hindi kasama ang 3.0

bro answer this question...roughly how much mileage you consume for one year? if less than 20K/year then choose the gas fed don't afraid about the fc (7+km/l vs 9+km/l) or the price of gasoline to diesel...2.7 vvti and 3.0 D4d power is almost the same but vvti is quiter/less vibration giving you more comfort...for a price diff of 310T it took more than 200kms or more than 10 years of enjoying your ride to pay off that price diff and before you reach that mileage you probably looking for a new one...

good luck to your choice

The 3.0 has almost the same performance in power (except torque which the D-4D is better in).

Maximum Output (Ps/rpm)
3.0 D-4D = 163/3,400
2.7 VVT-i = 160/5,200

The 3.0 wins in the torque by a mile:

Maximum Torque Nm/rpm
3.0 D-4D = 343/1,400 ~ 3,200
2.7 VVT-i = 241/3,800

Re: fuel consumption. C! Magazine conducted a fuel consumption test and found that both the 3.0 D-4D and 2.7 VVT-i had near fuel consumption during highway runs. The 3.0 D-4D has the edge in crawling traffic.

note: the 3.0 D-4D fuel consumption might be affected by its full time use of its 4WD (4H) system. It doesn't have a 2WD only setting in its transfer case.

We just got our unit through Toyota Makati new Dark Blue Mica Metallic {mid night blue } and it's 2.7 Gas,kaya Gas na kasi easy to maintain sa Diesel ang tinipid mo ngayon baka kulang pa after warranty period kung meron masira sa D4D ng Toyota which sa haba ng threads about this engine problems mukhang walang exact or pinpointed spare parts defect or it's something on the system itself, technology should upgraded more or any rebuilding kit has to be introduced not by just resetting ECU {japanese reset power On then power Off}

or other things in this engine
