some info.

- it'll be my 3rd car. have a van for family use and an 07 civic FD which i plan to sell.
- don't need 4x4.
- i'm into mountain biking so a pickup would fit 4 cars. have a bike rack for the civic which can only fit 2 bikes at most.
- this will be my first diesel car.

would i be better off finding a 2nd hand SUV instead?

thanks!!
For a 4x2 transmission, it will be ok for non-harcore offroad situations, or in those "within reasons" off-road conditions that a 4x2 could withstand given its technical or operating constraints in this aspect.... i use my manual 4x2 D-max 3.0 Ddi-iTEQ to carry 3 dirtbikes in a lot of "within reasons" offroad situations without any problem....

The thing where we differ the most is that mine comes with a manual-tranny, and by it, i can use effectively use the "shining" low-end torque capability of the D-max, even just by lugging it chief at right rpm-range ;) ....i've used it many times over and over even in some offroads with hillclimb outside of Metro Manila, in Baguio and Cordillera.

Tawaran ko pa ng mas mababa pa diyan, if i were you chief, or better yet, just wait this September for the arrival of the new-Dmax.... Just make sure it comes with the 3.0-litre 4JJ1-TCX engine instead of the 2.5-litre 4JK1-TC. Cheers!
