| ![]() A query to Fortuner owners - how useful is the fender mirror? I'm planning to get one but am a little apprehensive of its utility. But they seem to be really popular, almost every Fortuner has it. |

| ![]() Can anyone who has driven both please compare the AT of the Fortuner vs the AT of the Hexa? I love how the AT of the HEXA worked, timely and fast shifts, no unnecessary revving, the manual mode had shifts like lighting, if I thought of buying the Fortuner would I be experiencing something similar? |

The Toyota on the other hand, has a rather old school gearbox although both are torque converters in the end. It is typical Japanese in that sense; Slow but reliable. The 2.8L Diesel might make a difference here though. Do test drive the Fortuner and tell us what you felt. When it comes to the Gearbox alone, it has to be the Hexa. Hope my limited inputs help. Sorry, I am not an expert and not even eligible to drive yet. Regards, Vishy | |

The current design doesn't give you a good view of the curb and no view of the front so you can give it a miss. Mostly dealership cars have it fitted on theirs try sitting in the driver seat and decide. | |

Its not as good as the one with two convex mirrors in the earlier Fortuner but since it has only one mirror, the kerb view is good (better than the earlier one) but you can't see the front. Off Topic: I upgraded to 285/60 R18 Geolandars AT G015 tires. Also upgraded the puny Roots o.e. Horns to Roots Megasonic Chrome horns. The company fitted horns are poor is an understatement. They sound like a tinny Maruti Alto horn(no offence to anyone). Last edited by Gannu_1 : 13th January 2018 at 12:36. Reason: Back to back posts merged.

Sure! Will post the pics by evening today. Not much change in the drive as I changed the tires under 100 kms running. Paid ₹4500 per tire as exchange. Was quoted ₹2500/tire for O.E. 265 size. I have changed all 5 tires and not just the 4 as is usually done. Not much change in wheel well clearance but ride was a bit hard as tire dealer (BK Tires, Delhi) had put in 35 psi to bed in the tires. Have reduced to 31 now and its riding much softly now. Thanks Rishi | |

I have the same engine/gearbox combo in my Crysta 2.8 Z albeit at a lower state of tune and the gearbox is smooth and quick shifting gearbox. Never felt it in anyway inferior to the Hexa AT that I test drove. In fact the added power of the engine was clearly felt compared to the Hexa. | |

I have one in my car. I find it quite useful especially when driving through tight spaces and parking. It helps to park the truck easily, especially when there is a kerb on the side. Last edited by MAS : 14th January 2018 at 09:40. | |
