I'm looking for a 4 wheel aluminum van with less than 4000 kilo gvw. Isuzu engine. Tilt cab. Main concern is reliablility of the Chinese trucks. Ideally I should get a Isuzu NHR but budget is tight and I'm thinking if Chinese trucks are reliable then they may suffice. They are about 30% cheaper than a NHR.

If anyone owns, operates or have experience with the above mentioned brands, pls give your review.
Yung tito ko bumili dati ng JAC na truck pang-delivery sa business nila. Pero 1.8L China engine siya. 2008 niya binili, this year binenta na dahil sa dami ng sakit sa ulo. Napakatigas ng clutch niya, hirap gamitin kambyo niya as in parang ayaw pumasok sa gear, at syempre sobrang underpowered. 27tkms lang naka-overhaul na. Naninilaw na kaagad yung white paint job niya a few years after buying at nangangalawang na... Binenta nila earlier this year at pinalitan ng Isuzu IPV, and they have been very satisfied with it.

So far among the China trucks that I've seen, Foton seems to have the best quality. The worst seem to be KAMA and JAC. I've seen both in VERY dire conditions, and sporting Z-plates.
