I've always thought that the Endeavour looks the best in class and with Ford offering a pretty good after sales experience, it makes a great offering.
Between the Fortuner and the Endeavour, was there a situation where you thought one car fared better than the other? |
Thank you so much - glad your enjoyed it !
I am pretty sure with the options I had on a possible 20L car, I would have been pretty flat on the energy curve by now and the car would, in all likelihood, not have done anywhere close to 72k as quickly as this one did !
The two cars (Fortuner & Endeavour) match in a number of aspects. In my opinion - here are some areas where I find things to be different :
On-road driving experience - Significant advantage with the Endeavour (unless you are a manual gearbox buff) for regular on-road (city/highway) drives - light steering, great gearbox, abundant engine power combined with the quality interior features like noise cancellation, tech (android auto and the likes) and speaker systems.
Off-road driving experience - Fortuner with its better power-to-weight ratio and ATRAC holds an edge. To elaborate a bit more - Endeavour's weight and poor breakover angle makes it disadvantageous in certain offroad situations so things may not be as easy to manage as in a Fortuner.
Maintenance - While Ford has been prompt in changing parts under warranty - the fact is that a lot of cars have had part changes done - the reliability on electronics and motors is a bit too much compared to the Fortuner (where such replacements are much lower). Barring that, Ford has done a good job in keeping service costs rather low for an engine of this size !
