Hi there,
I am considering buying a 2017 Fortuner Crusade and have a question that I hope can be answered here.
i love everything about the car and have driven a few even had a dealer let me take one home for the night.
i have one problem and that is the ride quality.
i currently own a Mitsubishi challenger so I am used to a ute based wagon but after an hour in the fortuner i realised that its stiff suspension would be hard work after a while.
i am not looking at the fortuner because of its cost as I can afford a prado but don't really like the look of the car and the interior seems a bit dated. Also I was looking at a hilux as well and then I discovered the fortuner. I owned a surf for many years and I can see its similarities etc. was the best car I ever owned and had smooth ride quality.
my question is this.
is there an after market suspension system that won't void the warranty that will soften the ride in the fortuner.
Are there other tyres that can be used to make the ride smoother and less bumpy?I have also seen some info in this forum regarding quite a large difference by dropping tyre pressures to 28psi instead of the recomeded 30.
i am really torn at the moment because I really like the fortuner but am worried I might be buying a car that I will grow to dislike due to the the bumps and jolts from its hard ride.
many thanks in advance for any suggestions or help.
