Gamit na gamit yang Dmax ng friend mo, sir. Ung akin, 3 yrs ata before I reached 50k kms.
Kung kayang 700k, ok na. Kung ayaw, 7 and a quarter para half way.
As to mga parts na masisira, for the 1st 3 yrs of my ownership, wala namang nasira na malaki. Ung brake shoe lang and bushings. After the 3rd yr ung SCV. Then EGR. Ung SCV, it was replaced. Ung EGR, it was cleaned so malaki ang natipid ko. And a few months ago, for some very weird reasons, ung aking timing chain naman ang napalitan the same with the water pump kasi at first they thought that the sound was coming from a busted water pump. Ngayon ok na ok na siya.
Yan ang mga repairs in my 5 yrs of ownership. But we have different experiences so your friend's truck my have a different fate than mine.
But overall I am very happy and satisfied with it. Sulit na sulit. Ride and drive kind of truck.
