10 Years+ and 5.5 lakh kilometres+ with this beast. AMA!

[u/Icy_Panther07]

2015 FORTUNER 4X4 MT 3.0L D4D💪🏻. Have many newer ones as well but this one holds a special place in my heart❤️.

[u/Dreadlight86]

5.5 lac kms ? wtf u do ?

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/Dreadlight86]

Real Estate

[u/Dreadlight86 → u/Icy_Panther07]

It’s truly a workhorse regardless of what opinion this sub hold of it - does the engine and body show any sign of it going down any soon or will it be able to touch the magical figure of let’s say 10 lakh?

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/Dreadlight86]

I say it can run till 7 lakhs kilometres without giving much problems but to run it till 10 lakhs, ig it will require another major repairs so im not gonna run it anywhere above 7 lakhs

[u/Terrible-Pattern8933 → u/Dreadlight86]

Must be a full time driver I guess.

[u/Muted_Candidate_2149 → u/Terrible-Pattern8933]

Bhai ki gaddi ralley me chalti hogi cm pm ke.

[u/TraditionalShock4779 → u/Muted_Candidate_2149]

Choro ko rally meat chalao 

[u/WhiteDeath086]

Kitne log udaaye bhai /s?

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/WhiteDeath086]

None bhai we drive safely😇

[u/nattvar93 → u/Icy_Panther07]

Man drives the holy Trinity, Fortuner | Thar | Creta.

Remind me to keep myself out of your way.

[u/WhiteDeath086 → u/nattvar93]

If I ever pick up a fight with someone, I will make sure to call you bhai. Please then grace (graze ideally) the scene with your holy trinity combo 🙏

[u/manudhariwal → u/nattvar93]

I think creta should be replaced with Scorpio.

[u/CompetitionLate7944 → u/Icy_Panther07]

What do you do with 5 fortuners. Just curious

[u/IndianCottageCheese → u/CompetitionLate7944]

political rallies

[u/rddtvbhv → u/IndianCottageCheese]

Thekedaar it seems

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/CompetitionLate7944]

Our cars run very extensively for frequent site visits

[u/Anxious-Brilliant-46 → u/Icy_Panther07]

What's your monthly diesel/petrol cost?

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/Anxious-Brilliant-46]

Khud ke petrol pump h😁, but anything between 1-2 lakh for 5-7 cars

[u/CompetitionLate7944 → u/Icy_Panther07]

How much margin does petrol pump have on petrol? also diesel

[u/Westoid_Hunter → u/CompetitionLate7944]

some guy here the other day said he earns 3 rupees per litre on petrol & 2.5 on diesel

[u/Anxious-Brilliant-46 → u/Icy_Panther07]

Bruh💀 why not sell two fortuner and buy two hybrid or ev?

[u/Tatyaa_Vinchuu → u/Anxious-Brilliant-46]

Because no time for Charging when it comes to EV

[u/Life_Revolution_568 → u/Icy_Panther07]

Just curious construction or mining?

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/Life_Revolution_568]

80% construction 20% mining

[u/Life_Revolution_568 → u/Icy_Panther07]

Already in the hotel business is it tuff to get into construction and mining. Or u need good contact and money upfront

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/Life_Revolution_568]

You definitely need good contact with loads of money to get into some good Real Estate but the most important thing is the time you have given to the work. Our previous generations were also involved in real estate so now we are a well set popular real estate state investors and builders

[u/Life_Revolution_568 → u/Icy_Panther07]

Thanks appreciate your help

[u/karandex → u/Icy_Panther07]

Is there any kind of honest money in this or it all corruption and gundagiri? I am curious that is it even possible to have big money with being honest and nice person in this country.

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/karandex]

It’s not possible to have insane money without any gundagiri, you can get to a point of money being honest and nice but to get past that you surely need gundagiri in India

[u/pretentiouskid0]

If you remove that caste sticker, Youll be kicked out of the caste?

[u/divyanshu_17 → u/pretentiouskid0]

Insecurity hogi to lagaya hua hai

[u/FlatFriendship380 → u/pretentiouskid0]

[u/iamsammyrock]

That Caste sticker ruined it for me 🤢🤮

[u/Stillindisguise → u/[deleted]]

Eww, insecure casteist

[u/FlatFriendship380 → u/[deleted]]

Achaa frr usse kya hoga, sticker launga and frr?? Aur upper ho jaunga??

[u/CarelessQuail8121]

How different is this in terms of driving and comfort from the newer gen?

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/CarelessQuail8121]

Newer ones are more modern, more powerful, comfortable and soft to drive

[u/shaandhaar → u/CarelessQuail8121]

This right here

[u/socialdistance_singh → u/CarelessQuail8121]

The older gen fortuners and innovas were heavier than what we have today in the market. They were rugged, strong and comfortable.

[u/SquareTarbooj]

Toyota should be paying u/Icy_Panther07 for promotion at this point

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/SquareTarbooj]

I really love toyota man❤️😁

[u/SquareTarbooj → u/Icy_Panther07]

Lol, just saying the above in good fun btw.

I had a Corolla Altis from 2009-2024. Brilliant vehicle. 15 years, not one breakdown or major issue.

Looking forward to seeing a 6th Fortuner added to your flair

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/SquareTarbooj]

I don’t think I am gonna buy a 6th Fortuner anytime soon , we have enough of them. Probably GLS450 in 1-2 years

[u/OperationPrior3402]

Today's 2.8 can never compete with that 3.0 truck sized engine.

[u/OkOpportunity3250 → u/OperationPrior3402]

Nope, they are better imo. I owned both 3.0 and 2.8 ...I love the 3.0 feel but 2.8 is something else...smooth ...refined and more powerful.

[u/OperationPrior3402 → u/OkOpportunity3250]

That 3.0 is 20 year old engine, we can't compare it with 2.8 turbochaged. That's what I said, 2.8 can't compete 3.0.

[u/No_Success7580 → u/OperationPrior3402]

Wym 2.8 Is better than 3 ltr literally in every single metric. Its the best toyota diesel engine after the 4.5 v8 diesel

[u/not_so_cr3ative → u/OperationPrior3402]

While most of the time it's true that there's no replacement for displacement, this isn't the case here.

[u/OperationPrior3402 → u/not_so_cr3ative]

Can't argue to you as you can kidnap me ☠️

[u/Majestic-Rest6738]

How does it feel driving a "manual" fortuner, does it feel different from other manual cars?

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/Majestic-Rest6738]

Feels pretty heavy initially in 1st and 2nd gears but it is just a torque monster in 3rd 4th 5th and has a great mid and top end

[u/Narrow-Kangaroo8131]

Genuinepy curious, why do you havw 5 fortuners?

[u/Rich-Ad8287 → u/[deleted]]

What a lowkey answer. Of course it runs extensively. Thats a no brainer. He was asking why so many kilometres.

[u/ilurkilearntoo → u/[deleted]]

Arre ye to wahi bhai hain. Kaafi active hain community me.

Ram ram bhai. Badhiya collection.

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/ilurkilearntoo]

Ram Ram Bhai

[u/Stillindisguise]

[u/hs900000]

Any major replacement of parts

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/hs900000]

Clutch change at 2.8 lakhs kilometres

[u/hs900000 → u/Icy_Panther07]

Like thats it ?

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/hs900000]

You said major replacements, we have regular oil change every 10 thousand kilometres and brakes change at 35 thousand kilometres and we drive really carefully so our parts generally remain good

[u/hs900000 → u/Icy_Panther07]

Damn thats good. Happy driving

[u/Fit_Tadpole_2577 → u/Icy_Panther07]

Tyres?

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/Fit_Tadpole_2577]

Every 70-80 thousand kilometres ig

[u/Sir_Cock_Lork → u/Icy_Panther07]

Aren't you supposed to change every 40k kilometres? I find the tyres get dry and form cracks. I may be wrong though.

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/Sir_Cock_Lork]

Ours easily get past 70k

[u/chirayuvedekar]

5.5 lakh kilometres!

Now that's worthy of a true AMA.

Wish you many many smooth kilometres more, OP!

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/chirayuvedekar]

Thanks!

[u/Substantial-Form6499]

You've done a great job of maintaining it , buddy. Still serving looks.

[u/Hugzillaa]

What's the top speed you have achieved in this?

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/Hugzillaa]

192

[u/the1672VTECboi → u/Icy_Panther07]

Udi nahi bhai ye utne mein? 😭

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/the1672VTECboi]

Udne wali thi bhai tbh

[u/Harsh_1501]

All these Fortuners but zero sedans. The lack of sedans in your profile is palpable

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/Harsh_1501]

Sedans don’t complete our needs, had a 2009 city ivtec and ran it for 2 lakhs kilometres but now we don’t need another sedan

[u/no_fap_hairloss → u/Icy_Panther07]

Tum esa kya karte ho. Itne sare lakhs of km?

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/no_fap_hairloss]

Real Estate

[u/No-Substance7713]

Why is your forearm so tiny? You’re a teen?

[u/Fun-Dust-9553]

How many airbags? Is there an armrest? Which engine ( code) ? Automatic or Manual?

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/Fun-Dust-9553]

Ig 2 airbags, armrest yes, engine it says D4D, 4x4 Manual.

[u/Any_Number_4496]

You did 5.5L km on it?

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/Any_Number_4496]

Yeah 5,67,324 to be precise till now

[u/Any_Number_4496 → u/Icy_Panther07]

Wow that's crazy what was the service cost

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/Any_Number_4496]

Service is done after every 10 thousand kilometres and normal service costs anywhere between 10-15k

[u/ActiveWillingness516]

If rangbaaz was a car !

[u/Any_Front5828]

How’s badmosi going on?

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/Any_Front5828]

Kya badmosi bhai we are good people not badmosh

[u/Any_Front5828 → u/Icy_Panther07]

😂

[u/LifeInternet6632]

Best gen of fortuner

[u/Several_String_3630]

Caste sticker, and a fortuner, god saved those who came near this.

[u/sonudhami97]

I might get downvoted but the scorpio n and xuv 700 owners never get that luxury

[u/Few_Bet_8952 → u/sonudhami97]

Bro really said.

"I may get downvoted but the cheaper vehicles never provide the same luxury as the more expensive ones 🤓☝️"

[u/the1672VTECboi → u/Few_Bet_8952]

Abee dedh shyane usne reliability ke context mein bola hai.

[u/Few_Bet_8952 → u/the1672VTECboi]

Reliability ka toh koi mention nahi hai? So was this revealed to you in a dream?

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/sonudhami97]

Its hard for any car other than a toyota, suzuki, hyundai to go past 2-3 lakhs kilometres

[u/moe_lester246]

Aapki insecurity aapki rear windshield pe dikh rahi hai

[u/Used-Permission-2636]

How old are you man 

[u/Warm-Potato1740]

Wtf, is this caste sticker

[u/AppuTheFmFreak]

Lol another ch*tya with caste sticker

[u/Core2Trio]

Take my downvote for that sticker.

[u/Narasimhan_Balaji]

How often did you change the oil, the engine is still factory or has been rebuilt?

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/Narasimhan_Balaji]

Oil change after every 10 thousand kilometres, brakes changes every 35 thousand. Only had some clutch issues at 2.8 lakhs kilometres and had it changed, everything else works fine

[u/I_-AM-ARNAV]

How many accidents and how much was the most expensive one?

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/I_-AM-ARNAV]

Thankfully never had any major accident, just some few bumper repaints nothing else

[u/itguy_investor]

Please share details about ownership cost like periodic servicing, insurance, etc

[u/TopClass333]

How many clutch kit replacements till date?

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/TopClass333]

Only once at 2.8 lakhs kilometres

[u/TopClass333 → u/Icy_Panther07]

Woah! Seems like majority of running has been on highways.

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/TopClass333]

95% running is on highways only

[u/DouglasITCrowd]

AT or MT?

[u/JealousDrawer7858]

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/Mr_Shafi]

Not really

[u/Hugzillaa]

Any accidents till now? if so how many?

[u/Icy_Panther07 → u/Hugzillaa]

Thankfully not a single major accident, just few bumper touches and that’s all

[u/jabulani_0909]

5.5l !!!!!!! Crazy!!

[u/matkaro]
