| ![]() Anshuman - how was the highway driving experience ? Particularly overtaking trucks. Since you are right here in Good Gaon why don't we meet up after this lockdown. It will be a difficult decision to spend 40 L of my own money to buy a FORD instead of a new Fortuner but lets see. Difficult decision. In all these years I have not yet come out of my well established belief that FORD = Fault or repair daily. An I cannot be blamed. I have pulled out over two hundred stuck Ford Explorers and Mercury Mountaineers ( The same car, much like Duster / Terrano combine ) during my fifteen years in the desert. I don't quite like only three things in the Fortuner. Only brown interior trim. No Sunroof - not that it really matters but then why not ? No self dimming rear view mirrors. A clever way out is to take my wife and daughter to both the Ford and Toyota showrooms, show them both cars and then put it to their choice that they liked the Ford better!

A couple of things to note apart from the fact related to inclusion of Bi-Turbo 2.0 Everest (Single Turbo Everest is available in SE Asian markets only if I understand it correctly).
So it is okay to see Everest being compared to Prado, but it isn't a right comparison in my eyes. Quote:

| ![]() Loved your review... a 5-star from me without a doubt! ![]() As a owner of the 3.2, share your concerns with the 2.0 - 3.2 is just amazing 'fun' to drive, let's just agree that it would have been difficult for Ford to match the 3.2! Maybe a foot-in-mouth comment, my hunch is that the BS6 replacement to 3.2 is yet to arrive - expecting the twin turbo to arrive soon. And I take your suggestion - plan to hold on to the 3.2 for a long time... |

| ![]() What a superb detailed review. And Ford certainly pulling out all the bells and whistles. 10 speed automatic, improved fuel efficiency, noise cancellation and very good driveability in the city. Sedan drivers or hatchback drivers looking to upgrade, or ppl hitting the mid life crisis, but still want to retain mileage and city driveability while boasting of an suv- Now is the chance. Cant wait for this to come to the used market |

| ![]() The Sunroof is not possible in this Fortuner because the cold air ducts pass through the roof for the middle and rear vents. I have never had a sun roof in any of my past Prados Landcruiser or that old Fortuner. I wouldn't quite mind a Ford as a company car. I had a Taurus for a couple of years and it was not without its fair share of problems. I run my own business now. No company cars anymore. Spending my own money about Rs. 40 lakhs the price of a top end Landcruiser V8 globally for a Ford. Difficult decision for me really. |

Infractions: 0/1 (5) | ![]() My first reply on the forum and its on this wonderful vehicle, Anshuman i make it a point to watch all your videos on youtube amazing content. I was looking forward to purchase the endeavour later this year mainly because i do a lot of highway runs and also like to explore the unexplored. With the new engine i know fuel efficiency will be great but will miss the 3.2. Want to know if Ford plans to launch the bi turbo or else is it better to go with a pre owned 3.2. A 2019 model which was a TD car for a dealer is up for sale with around 12k kms. They are quoting 36. should i go for it and if yes whats the best bargain. I would love the new headlights though but lets see if its possible to retrofit. New to the forum and my 1st post. Love the endeavour but want to know if Ford has plans for a bi turbo if yes will postpone my purchase decision by another 6 to 8 months, also getting a good deal on a used TD car done around 12k kms. Dealer asking 36 for it, its a 2019 facelift model. What would be the best bargain price for it?

A TD vehicle would have had multiple drivers testing it to the limits, 12K KM is significant and no reason to consider it unless you get a substantial discounts? Why not consider a few well maintained ones listed in the t-bhp classifieds: http://classifieds.team-bhp.com/buy-...ndeavour.html/ http://classifieds.team-bhp.com/buy-...ndeavour.html/ Last edited by AirWind : 20th April 2020 at 12:05. | |

Should I still consider it? Most used examples I see are around the 30o to 40k kms used mark. | |

Mostly I have seen such justification in higher segment vehicles, like an LX or RR Vogue here so in a smaller town it's possible that Ford dealership can't keep a seperate TD Endeavour. Even though owners are using, these will still be available to most potential customers. I am not aware about the overheads at your place but you are still getting the vehicle above Ex-showroom price. My suggestion will be to hold on for a few weeks and let this get over. You will see much more options, not just in the segment you are shopping but even beyond coming in your range. Many people will lose Jobs or will see lower business income. It's best not to commit anything. Last edited by Turbanator : 20th April 2020 at 13:07. | |

Off topic I'm also considering looking at a used German sedan if I get at around 25 something like the 530d or an A6 I will use it for a year and keep changing, that way I can have an experience at a wide range of vehicles. | |

| ![]() Current-gen Ford Endeavour won’t get twin-turbo version of new 2.0-litre diesel engine. Quote:

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Would someone know if the twin turbo bought as a OE from other markets (say Philippines, Thailand or Australia) be a direct swap to the single turbo version available in the Ford Endeavour 2.0 in India? |

I don't think it would be as simple as an OE Swap, would definitely require some physical adjustments and fine tuning various components such as ECM, PCM, TCM and much more to get that desired and stable output. |
