The 3.2 is relaxing to drive... you can simply ride the lowdown torque all day, but the 2.8 really drives with more gusto.

Interior is an improvement. Still not Ranger-level, but close now, whereas the last one was dead last in plastic quality compared to its rivals.

Bro your posts just brings automotive smiles..

Hows the nvh? Is the vibration non existent?

Also the fc is now better than the 3.2.. thats a big plus...

Hows the tranny shift logic? Holds gears when needed? Or shifts early to reduce fuel consumption?

Best 4x2? Or just barely missed the crown?

Still researching engine reliability of the colorado. New mivec engine and new toyoa engines.

So far the isuzu has the proven reliability the past 3-5years.

I have 2 Hiluxes, 2006 and 2010 models, both 3.0 A/T. The older model has been used HARD on and off road, and has clocked 350,000 kms. There were issues, like changing the expensive turbo at 200k kms, and of course replacement of shock absorbers. That's it. My 2010 model till drive like new at 150k kms.

My brother has a D-Max (2010) and still drives great. The only problem is the maintenance cost of Isuzu which is higher than the Toyota.

But I'd like to try the Ford or Nissan, but honestly baka magsisi ako. When I buy I won't sell after 10 years pa.

Thats the px1 and its already been succeeded by the current px2 ranger.

Just because you see an amateur driver having difficulty with a ranger. Nag conclude ka na agad na mahina sa offroad.

👏👏👏

I wonder if Toyota will release the 2.8Diesel in the US. Im sure they have plenty of time before the 2019 Ranger is also released with the EcoBlue and that new transmission.

NVH, not sure. I only get fifteen minutes with these vehicles, most of which are spent testing performance, not quality.

And the way we drive, fuel economy is not what we're lookng for.

The 4x2 we tested was the 2.5. Good enough, but still mid-pack.

The 4x4, panalo, if you're the kind that prefers performance. The Strada might still have the edge in comfort, but the Colorado doesn't have the crappy plastic interior anymore, and it's actually nice to drive now.
