a female colleauge (yup, babae) just bought a dmax and i asked her why not the hilux, cause medyo biased ako sa hilux - was almost drooling when i got to see it sa dealership for the first time.
main consideration niya in choosing the dmax, as she of course considered both before buying, was the interior. i haven't seen it yet but according to her malayo raw ang interior ng dalawa, in favor of the dmax (4X2 nga pala). plus yung small things like the stepboard, fender flares, tires same as the 4X4, which apparently were standard on the 4X2 dmax (needs to be verified) and were not on the hilux.
personally, i'd go for the hilux for its design and bigger size, plus the reliability that goes with toyota. but i'm sure there would be a lot of other people who would consider against it given the package that the dmax offers.
D-MAX for me.... sa 4x2 model kasi na d-max parang 4x4 na ang itsura (bigger tires, fender flares, etc) unlike sa hilux.....
post ko lang po ang opinion ko. i'm biased sa dmax, kasi yun ang gamit ko. honestly, taking these two head-to-head, obviously both has their plus and minusses. for the hilux, its got size, nice cabin and powerful engine (4X4 variant only) at same displacement as the dmax. however, the 4X2 variant of hilux is pegged at 2.5L compared to the 4X2 dmax. yes, the looks. the both variant of dmax is almost the same, ride height, rims, amenities, etc. whereas the hilux, only the top of the line model has got the ride height, fender flares, bigger rims. oh yes before i forgot, the both variant of the dmax has the same engine- 3.0L turbo intercooled. what fascinates me is the safety features of the dmax, on both variants, it's got abs+ebd dual airbags.Originally Posted by corbon44
of course, aside from performance and creature comforts, safety is always a priority, you should get the dmax. but if you're up for style get the hilux.
4x4 hilux. just got mine! i liked it more. my bro has a dmax, but nainggit sa akin.
same w/ coiter.....Originally Posted by coiter
yung 4x2 ng hilux eh parang kinawawa ang hitsura.....skinny tires on a big low slung body....parang di bagay yung body sa ht. at gulong nya....
LOL!! oo nga.

If you wanna get the Hilux, beware of the D-4D problems that's currently plaguing the Toyota engines.
ang ok lang kasi sa Isuzu, pag sinabing Diesel, every veteran driver will bet his bottom penny that Isuzu will win any engine reliability challenge. Hands down sila lagi sa Isuzu.
in terms of looks I like the D-max more than the hilux. ang ayaw ko lang sa d-max is the push button 4WD. feeling ko problematic to in the long-run, I mean in the really long-term when the electronic stuff breakdowns or you get flooded.
toyota is toyota but kung diesel technology isuzu parin,
if id use it as a workhorse, dmax is better, but kung road driving lang hilux
Dmax 4X2 ok sa akin.... but that was before I met the new Mitsu Triton pick-up.
haha onga!Originally Posted by 5Speed
at least yung 4x2 dmax astig pa rin ang tindig
Hilux if its the 4x4 variant
D-Max if its the 4x2 trim
+same engine, tires, and ground clearance as the 4x4
-No stepboard. Only 4x4 has the stepboard.
