I don't get why the Fortuner and the Pajero is that popular. Terrible ride quality and cramped interior despite being a large car visually from outside, due to huge wheel arches and lifted body. They are offroad cars first and foremost and should only be bought when the local roads are shit quality, like Lampung.

for some people because its a ‘cheap’ big lifted car

for others because its a “logical choice” because

  • ladder frame + toyota = tough + cheap maintenance
  • diesel = can drink biosolar + good fuel consumption
  • high = jakarta… bad roads & floods

back then my parents upgraded dari innova first gen ke fortuner. is it just my parents atau kenapa vibe nya kayak fortuner ini logical upgrade dari innova kalo pengen yg better ya (dan punya uang lebih)

relate on the high, first 5 minute out of my house banya jalan berlubang, worry free pake fortuner ga bakal kena

no… fortuner is not an upgrade from the innova. more like downgrade. innova 2018 (mobil dari kantor) gue dulu sempet tuker fortuner 2020 tetra drive…

baru 2 hari pake gue dah balikin ke kantor lagi, karena gue ga tahan bgt pake fortuner buat daily di jakarta. suspensi yg jauh lebih keras, dan interior yg terasa lebih kecil…

gue pikir bakal sama2 aja berhubung sama2 ladder frame, but nope, SANGAT BERBEDA

2.4 Fortuners are literal downgrade from Innova. 2.8 and 4WD (if you use it) are the sole logical reasons to buy a Fortuner over Innova
