A mere cosmetic change is of no use & if demanding a premium for it is unjustified. TRD stands for Toyota Racing Development & this variant doesn't mean anything related to TRD. If its more related to cosmetic changes then there are better kits from Thailand, which looks much better and imposing.

TRD should have made following improvements:
1. Better handling suspension with less boat roll(In Fortuner more than the body roll, boat roll is prominent).
2. Sporty interior color theme.
3. Better sounding music system.
4.Pitch & Bounce though better controlled than the previous Fortuner, has got scope for improvement.
5. Improved NVH
6. Better Sounding exhaust- Would have been segment first.
7. Gear shifts can be made sharper.

Re: Toyota Fortuner VS Ford Endeavour

Welcome to the forum and congrats for the beasts.[:)]
Which do you like more ? And why?
Out of the 2 which is more city friendly, i.e. easier to manoeuvre in the city? OR do you prefer a small hatch for the same?

Re: Toyota Fortuner VS Ford Endeavour

I am owning Fortuner since Nov 2016 and have Completed 76K & having Endeavour Since Aug 2017 and Completed 31k
I like both, both have some positive n negatives
As you have asked,
In City Endeavour is Better, being AT and Electronic Power Steering and is less bouncy.
I prefer Wagon-R in City [lol][:D] (you can See in the Background)

BS6 Toyota Fortuner Launched, Priced From Rs 28.18 Lakh

2020-toyota-fortuner-bs6-1.jpg


Toyota Kirloskar Motor has silently upgraded its full-size Fortuner SUV to comply with the BS6 emission norms, and unlike the previous speculations, the car retails both its 2.7-litre petrol and 2.8-litre diesel drivetrains. Surprisingly, Toyota has not hiked the price of the BS6 Fortuner, and the car continues to be offered at a starting price of Rs 28.18 lakh for the base petrol trim, which goes up to Rs 34.10 lakh (both prices, ex-showroom) for the top-end diesel variant.

As mentioned earlier, Toyota continues to offer the Fortuner with two powertrains; a 2.7-litre four-cylinder Petrol engine, along with a 2.8-litre four-cylinder diesel mill. The petrol motor generates 163.7 hp of maximum power at at 5,200 rpm, along with 245 Nm peak torque at 4,000 rpm. On the other hand, the oil burner produces 174.5 hp power at 3,400 rpm and 420 Nm (MT) & 450 Nm (AT) torque between 1400 – 2600 rpm.

Toyota has discontinued the JBL 11-speaker setup from the top-end variants of Fortuner and replaced it with the lower-spec 6-speaker system. Prices remain unaffected.
