KA24DETT: They are not in the same class. FX35 is luxury SUV.we know they αяє not in ∂ same category but if u were stuck with both for a 6hour trip which would u pick ? |
SailorXY: A Toyota 4Runner all day!oga I have travelled twice dis year .. Τђε Benin and asaba ends of the road are almost racetrack smooth... @ som points its a straight stretch of 3 or 4miles. one could get up †̥σ 180km/hr surely ... For those ∂@t can handle ∂@t speed sha |
moshino: They're equally good choice SUVs, but PLEASE, they're NOT RACECARS/FORMULAR1 cars! In terms of versatility, longevity and durability, given Nigerian road and driving conditions, Toyota 4Runner edges ahead. In terms of luxury/bells and whistles, FX has the edge. But again, they're NOT RACECARS.I never said they were race cars or being bought for that purpose.. I simply meant that my colleague is a speed freak and would want an SUV that will take him there safely while satisfying his desire †̥σ floor Τђε gas pedal |
9icetoo: i have been opportuned to drive the two cars being discussed fairly regularly.I think I'∂ rather spend more @ the pump for an enhanced ride quality in an Fx35.. I don't think the 4ruNner will hold its own if one is †̥σ swerve suddenly †̥σ avoid a collision @ highway speeds.. Besides the rollover rating for ∂ 4runner is quite poor. |
Jarus: What model? I use 4runner 2005 and it's doing fine. Does Lagos-Kwara trip without hiccups.we're comparing the 04 model of both vehicles |
With such a precise steering in the fx35 isn't it natural u would feel every change in ∂ road surface Remember we're looking @ ride comfort as well. it might b tolerable for a while but 6hrs+ down ∂ highway we could hav a situation on our hands don't u think ? |
lomomike: 4. Speed ?? U dnt mention the specific engine type for toyota 4runner. But I still believe infiniti wins. Cos I've raced against a 2004 toyota 4runner V8 and I was faster with my QX4 V63.5 which is same engine the infiniti uses. Plus the FX35 is touted as a sports biased SUV.bro u mean u saw off a 4.7litre V8 4runner ? Hmmm,, Dats something o. BAck †̥σ ∂ issue though,, I hav driven Τђε v6 4runner @ highway speeds and it handled pretty fine . I however A̶̲̥̅♏ yet †̥σ test drive the fx35 though I heard its ride is heavy on ∂ arms .. Surely a trip down †̥σ enugu would lead 2 very sore arms ![]() |
Hello car gurus, A colleague of mine will be purchasing any of Τђε afore-mentioned vehicles anytime soon and intends travelling with it this xmass... Which of them would b relatively safer and comfortable. My friend considers himself a formular hopeful, so which ride will take the punishment without landing him in the bush .. ℓ☺ℓ . Over †̥σ u guys! |

ZIM DRILL: so the question is, are auto parts dealers selling sub standard items? and are people not learning fro other people's mistake eg one ATF is sub standard and motorist pass on the infor to one another until the manufacturer sees that people nolonger by the productwell, there αяє fake parts out there but one thing is dat these parts sellers will ask u which particular one/grade u want.. If u go †̥σ ladipo auto parts market. U'll see ∂ same type of compressor, with price differences,, say 6k,, 8k,, 12k. Obviously ∂ last one is grade A. so depends on ones pocket . Also , people don't carry out research about their vehicles.. That is why wrong type of atf is used in servicing d transmission hence it starts acting up after a while. |
Even with the notoriously problematic transmissions of some vehicle year models ,, regular and correct maintenance with d recommended type of Atf will get u by and ensure one gets near optimal performance. I sometimes see some ''mechanics'' adding engine oil †̥σ automatic transmissions especially ∂ '98 camry.. Beats mε. |
lertee: It is easier said than done,when a girl goes to a guy and asks him out,the same guy would broadcast it to the whole world that the lady is cheap,she threw herself at me.I guess its complicated №ω . lolzzz |
Siena: There are quite a few transversely-mounted V8 engines with FWD, the Cadillac Northstar being a prime example in some Cadillac, Buick etc. It's got nothing to do with handling the torque, it's not commonly used due to space constraints, and the weight of the engine / transaxle being ahead of the axle centreline.oga siena with all ∂@t power going to the front wheels wouldn't there be Torque steer concerns perhaps ?? |
I was just wondering why we don't get †̥σ see V8 powered cars with transversely mounted powertrain... I've noticed most v8 cars are awd or have ∂ engines mounted longitudinally delivering powered †̥σ Τђε rear wheels. Some too are mid engined delivering power either to the front wheels or all four whEels. Why not a front wheel drive with Τђε same layout as would a Honda EOD or Toyota camry ? |
solidbroda: Iv seen a bus with 3million mileage on it.ℓ☺ℓ ... 3million or 300k?? Highest I've seen though is 399k miles ... A Toyota hiace by one of these transport coys |

Siena: What make and model of car do you own? And what engine size and model year?it's a ford windstar, 01 model ... 3.8litre V6 sohc engine. Please also spare som time †̥σ look into this earlier thread about ∂ same vehicle. www.nairaland.com/1365975/ford-windstar-steering-pulls- |
Siena: Sounds like you're getting stitched up.bo$$ how exactly do u mean please ? Because I have M̶̲̥̅Ɣ car's engine oil changed every 4 months. |
hello auto gurus,, M̶̲̥̅Ɣ ford windstar 01 model steering keeps pulling †̥σ Τђε right when in motion.. i.e the car will not move straight if ∂ steering isn't turned a considerable bit †̥σ Τђε right ... This issue started when ∂ right wheel hub went bad and was replaced ... I also noticed ∂ right wheel is slightly skewed outwards... M̶̲̥̅Ɣ mechanic claimed it was ∂ ball joint which I hav replaced still ∂ issue persists. |
