Thread: toyota fortuner 2.4 engine

I bought a ford wildtrack in 2012 with a 2.2 engine and that had plenty of power for my requirements so a 2.4 engine should be fine
unfortunately Toyota are offering shit deals on a new fortuners at present, no discount, no free accessorizes or free insurance
their trade in values are shit to only 50% of what i paid for the hilux in 2017
if they do not get their act together i may buy a Mitsubishi Prado instead, cheaper, better equipped and the best rated SUV in Australia in 2020

I have a 2.4 Fortuner. Mostly cruise around ~110kph in ECO mode. 9.3 l/100k
Overtaking it is easy to hit 140kph.
With 7 people and loaded up I use POWER mode.
Never felt underpowered.

Just for comparison, I have a Pajero sport with the 2.4L, which reports suggest has a worse fuel consumption c.f. 12l/100k, However, driving around at 80-100kph in 2wd, I get around 7-8l/100kph. Pulling power has never been an issue.

i currently own a 2.8 hilux, i do not check my fuel consumption while driving in phuket because of the poor driving conditions and usually heavy traffic
but when we go for a drive off the island from rawai in the south end of the island to kho lak or krabi i usually get 6.9 litres per 100 klm providing i do not get stuck in traffic jams on the way home
i always drive in the economy mode and the hilux never lacks power, only tried power mode once and found it not necessary
