Is the TOYOTA FORTUNER a TOYOTA PRADO J150 on a budget?

The whistling in Toyota Kenya Prados is now explained. Thanks. You did a very good explanation on the Fortuner cannibalism towards Prado when you compared it to other pick-up based 4×4s. Good understanding.

[@MrFamm]

Excellent work, Erick. I've lived with a yr 2013 1KD Fortuner since yr 2018. It was used in S.A and i would choose it over the Prado any day. Let me tell you Erick, the (reasonable) speeds i do with the Fortuner at certain corners, the Prado couldn't even dream of taking. Also add on the fact that the Fortuner is lighter than the Prado and smaller hence handles and maneuvers better. Well done!

[@Pkari]

Important correction: Those diff locks are very misunderstood and would be worth extra attention. In essence of the 2 cars you have here the Fortuner is more off-road ready because: 1. Putting it in H4 is equivalent to locking the centre diff in the Prado 2. It additionally has a rear diff lock. Point 1 is where the confusion occurs and I would bet most drivers haven’t got a clue when their car is ready or not ready for slippery surfaces.

Between full time 4WD and selectable 4WD, I would pick the selectable. It's the exercise of control that is enchanting to drive. Koso Koso mingi at full time 4WD and automatic is for A--->B drivers. Probably my preferences are wild, minority and fanaticized but the things I would value most in order of priority are : 1. Manual 6-speed transmission 2. Selectable 4WD 3. 1GD-FTV 2.8L 4. Rear diff-lock 5. Center diff-lock 6. DAC 7. ESC 8. Skid plate

Eiiiish Wokabi you are a G.O.A.T in motor industry

[@Factcheckor]

How people pass up an X5, X4, X6 and the Q7 that's at the same price with the Prado and fortuner is interesting. You get more power, more fuel efficiency, more comfort, better safety, adjustable ride height, Premium everything including the finishing

[@jamesmwangi1871]

You have a solid point but you are forgetting one key aspect reliability. You don't want to get stuck with a luxurious BMW or Audi in a remote town hoping to find spares, happened to me recently had to buy *used engine mounts for an Audi.

[@eddienyagah]

Reliability is key hapa. German cars offer what you're saying and much more but the cost of ownership is insane. You need some deep pockets to live with them. Sure you can argue that anyone buying a car within this price range can afford the huge bills but with time those bills begin to add up and you'll feel the pinch. And let's be honest, these German cars are delicate AF. I'm a BMW fan but somethings you just have to accept if you want peace of mind. And also, Japanese cars tend to outlive the competition. It's been proven. Ukitaka kitu super fancy and you have ridiculous money in your bank that you don't feel dents, buy German. But ukitaka gari haina stress and it can give you an acceptable degree of luxury and comfort, buy Toyota.

[@Defrank-di6ot]

Way less reliability

[@collins_._]

Wokabi always jokes that reliability is also a luxury and a piece of mind 😜

[@BarakaAfrica]

You have not driven a fortuner and it shows. On Kenyan roads, horsepower gives you temporal thrill but Torque (especially from the 1GD-FTV) gives you unending ultimate DRIVING PLEASURE, no pun intended. These two are also forgiving when you partake in this pleasure unlike the highlighted competition which you have to always have at the back of your mind the fixes (downtime, hussle, cost) for sins of indulging in the thrill.

[@lesliecheruiyot5958]

As a guy who spins a hilux d-cab, I'd choose a fortuner allday anyday.

[@edwinalexander1170]

I will go for Toyota Fortuner because Prado is so heavy although it has 140litres full tank Capacity while Fortuner has 80litres full tank capacity. Still Fortuner is lighter.

[@victorkoech7007]

The cream idea interior in the prado slaps, am bored with my dark one😂

[@mwat22]

The difference in the used car market might be 1m. But in the new car show room the difference is more like 4-8M as a fortuner will set you back 10M while a prado will set you back 14M for the GX and 18 to up to 20M for the top of the range j150 VX.L and close to 30m for the j250

[@riwellwaweru9644]

Erick, im quite concerned about the difference between 1KD and 1GD you talked about at the beginning of the video. I see 1gd will give about 175hp and 450nm of torque. Earlier 1kd likes of 2008 prado j120 uk spec LC4 with 5speed auto or earlier models of 2010 prado j150 also with 5 speed auto gave the same power output as these 1GD prado/fortuner. Would there be much difference in consumption say from the two prados (1kd and 1gd with same power figures 2008 vs 2017). Also considering the weight of the two where prado j120 was lighter compared to the 2017 prado j150, would that also mean that the acceleration and consumption would almost match? I ask these questions cause i love the shape of the j120 but i love the shifting prowess of the j150. The j120 uk spec with 175hp 450nm and 5speed auto similar to feels sluggish though in real world you would easily overtake or follow a j150 uphill....how true is this statement wokabi. Also, i understand that all the j120s came with a 2-speed transfer case for the full time 4wd system. Is this also the same for the j150? I've also driven the two offroad and the j120 feels better in low speed climbs. Pls tell us more.
