    Alin po ba ang magandang gamitin pang negosyo? I'm thinking of hilux fx kasi powerful because of being common rail. L300 FB kasi po mura. IPV/NHR kasi may nabasa ako dependable daw. Alin po ba ang ok sa kanila?

    What's your business or what's to be hauled? Usual routes?

    All of them are dependable.

    The NHR depends on the cabin to be connected on how long. ( I believe ikaw ata ang magdedecide? Kasi sa friend ko, siya daw nagdecide eh. )

    The L300 FB is quite small, yet reliable like the remaining two. Rear A/C gives up after quite some time, I'm not sure about the current one.

    The Hilux FX is new, seen several hilux's looks reliable to me, yet the g.c. is quite low ( is it? or it's just me? )


    Any of the three can be used, really depends on what is going to be your main purpose.

    Haven't decided yet kung anong negosyo pero for everyday drive, maybe 6x a week and 5 to 6 hrs a day. Curious lng ko sa hilux kasi affordable din sya considering na crdi na yung engine.

    Get the isuzu, to make things easy and safe. Kasi baka kapag nakapagdecide ka na ng business mo, kulang pala ang space ng hilux.

    Sir, ipv is 2.5 na mech. Type turbo while 2011 NHR is 2.8 na intercoolerturbo pero mas malaki ang payload nay up to 2.2 tons. Kung workhorse Di ka mapapahiya sa Isuzu. Power,fuel efficiency,durability is the reputation of Isuzu. About the common rail maganda ang technology na yan but media expensive say to maintain specially pagnagkaproblema even the maintenance kasi e
    Electronic na sya. I can assist you in some technical aspect about Isuzu NHR .If you want po...

    powerful, fuel-efficient saka affordable nga yung HiLUX FX, kaso talo ka sa maintenance, para ka na rin naka nagme-maintenance ng Innova niyan, maganda rin sana but depends on your preference pa rin, lalo sa business, kailangan kung saan makaka-save pero quality dun tayo, Isuzu IPV o yung NHR is a good choice, since timing gears ang gamit, low of maintenance cost, from it, fuel-efficient rin naman, power--ok lang tama, tama talaga as a workhorse,

    L300, ok din, kaso old school model but still trusted ng nakararami, peoples choice ika nga.

    Kung ako, Hilux FX piliin ko. Mas refined ang engine, kasing tipid naman ng Isuzu 4JA1, at katamtaman sa laki para hindi sobrang hirap magmanuever. This is the choice kung hindi naman gaano kabigat ang trabaho at kasama personal use at kapag OK lang sayo ang mas mahal na maintenance. Isang personal reason kung bakit gusto ko to as compared to the L300 and IPV is the presence of the tachometer. Minor issue lang naman pero sanay kasi ako tumingin sa tach lagi especially kapag manual ang sasakyan at parang may kulang kapag wala.

    Ang L300 hindi ko talaga gusto. Ang luma na talaga sobra, kung titingnan mo yung loob, mas luma pa sa Urvan eh! At least naman Delica head yung ginamit nila... At ang hirap ito dalhin sa matagal na biyahe dahil napakainit sa pwet ang makina niya, hindi talaga malamig ang aircon, at mabilis mag-overheat. At hindi na siya mura ngayon ah, abot 700+k na rin ang may dual aircon.

    Kung mabigat talaga ang trabaho mo, wala nang iba kundi ang Isuzu NHR-PV. Mas malakas na siya ngayon since may intercooler turbo na at tatagal talaga siya sayo kahit anong harabas ang gawin mo.

    Yo Sir GTi! Ask ko lang ok din ba ang APV FB Deluxe? bagong labas yon and may rival yun tatlong sasakyan na binanggit ni angus 15.
    Price at P550K (bare). Dual Aircon at 630K. Suzuki pasig at Manila lang ang Available nyan. hehe

    The engine of the Hilux FX is a detuned version which only delivers 100PS and 200NM of torque yet you still get that toyota CRDi engine that is still having problems.

    Di ko gusto yan. I'm sure being a Suzuki, the underpinnings should be excellent. But I find it to be a bit too small. And the engine is still the 91hp 1.6L gasoline unit so gas mileage and hauling performance is poor.

    Too small ala Multicab at front? And mabigat ang body for a 1.6L. Mas magaan ata yun APV GA/Type II no?

    Di naman siguro, unless the cockpit of the APV is too cramped for you. I'm not so sure as to the weight pero di naman siguro naglalayo. Yun nga lang, the APV van is already known to be underpowered, eh eto pa kayang ginagawang pangpasada o pang-hauling.

    Isuzu IPV if its a mix of hauling people and cargo.

    We used this in our fish pond in the province is tried and tested (kahit kinain kalawang because of sea water and bad body repairs).

    However, why decide and get right away kung wala pang negosyo?

    We recently (last May 2011) acquired two L300s (1 FB deluxe and 1 cab). Common problem: Rust! Why? Apparently, Mitsubishi Phils scrimps on paint. The backside of the cab has very little white paint on it. The underside just has a very thin layer of primer that started rusting (surface) it get splashed by road puddles. Solution: Better invest in some underchassis paint and/or undercoating, otherwise it will rust in peace soon.
