I am planning to buy an SUV below 20 lakh ran - 7455

I am planning to buy an SUV below 20 lakh range.Though i dont have much offroad driving in mind,but i still need four wheel driver just incase.Am confused with toyota fortuner and ford endeavour.Endeavour has everything but with auto gear box,fortuner has less features but has a toyota badge and lesser length.Is ford service and maintaining endeavour costly?I have heard that after 50,000KMz diesel engines are too costly to maintain.Please help me for my choice.

Expert Hi,
Both Endeavour and Fortuner have great performance to select one, Fortuner makes a better option for its power, interior space, ride and handling and better maintenance.
Maintenance of SUV is bound to increase after long term usage but the cost wont be too much unless it comes accross a major engine overhaul etc. Normally in modern SUV no major repair will be there till 1 lac KM.

I would advise you to go in for the fortuner cause the ford service all over is the same and really bad when it comes to getting a solution. you dont get a back up from the company either but have to go to consumers to get it fixed. Maintanence remains the same in any SUV, OVER A PERIOD OF TIME AND KMS. wish you luck..
