    If your getting a brand new pickup my pick would be the Toyota Hilux, more power and torque than the Isuzu D-Max.

    Better try to narrow down your choices first.

    I suggest you buy the ISUZU D-MAX. Tapos bumili ka na lang ng pantakip sa likod, meron ka ng ALTERRA. So hitting two birds with one stone ka. Meron ka ng pick-up, may SUV/MPV ka pa.

    The budget will determine a lot on the choices but if you're looking for a 2nd hand with a budget of 550K to 700K, a '01 - '03 Strada seems cool (good features, ride and reliable engine). Try to get one that is as new or less abused as possible (pickups are workhorses right>).

    Brand new, the Hilux is my choice over the Dmax.

    TEKA i-analyse ko ah

    kung 2nd hand eto ang choices niya.
    Ford Ranger
    Nissan Frontier
    Toyota Hilux
    Isuzu Trooper

    Brand new
    Toyota Hilux
    Isuzu D-max

    siyempre mas recent ang unit mas maganda altgough subject pa rin on what the state the car is di ba.
    depende din sa usage mo, an 02-03 Strada is a wise choice, very very tough imho

    Brand New if 4x4 Hilux kung 4x2 Dmax

    well, after much thought and from your relies, my choices now are: if 2nd hand Nissan Frontier,the Toyota Hilux, or the Strada. kung budget ko for a 2nd hand pickup would be between 500k-660k, ok na ba yun for a 2000 and up model?
    kung brand new naman, siguro i'll go for the Hilux, ganda ng porma e.

    kung mga circa 2000 na pickup... my choices would be:

    - Ford Ranger (has the strongest engine back then)
    - Nissan Frontier
    - Mitsubishi Strada (this is a classic!)
