    Hi Guys,

    I'd like to ask for your opinion on this. I'm planning to start a UV express business and I'm choosing between these 3 vehicles.

    1) Sa mga may sasakyan na ganito alin kaya sa mga ito ang mas magandang gamitin sa ganitong negosyo.
    2) Alin sa mga ito ang pinaka reliable?
    3) Most fuel efficient?
    4) Will provide me with the least downtime
    5) Customer support? (I guess pag ginamit sa negosyo eh wala nang makukuhang customer support sa mga sasakyang ito)
    6) Cheapest operating cost?
    7) Since they are all diesels, which one will be less prone to smoke belching?
    8) Which one will have parts readily available?

    Hoping for your inputs guys...

    Based on what I read and told since I did not own any of the 3:

    1) Sa mga may sasakyan na ganito alin kaya sa mga ito ang mas magandang gamitin sa ganitong negosyo.
    Crosswind. Pang kargahan at pang rough roa.

    2) Alin sa mga ito ang pinaka reliable?
    Crosswind.

    3) Most fuel efficient?
    Crosswind.

    4) Will provide me with the least downtime
    Crosswind.

    5) Customer support? (I guess pag ginamit sa negosyo eh wala nang makukuhang customer support sa mga sasakyang ito)
    Revo, Toyota has superb customer service.

    6) Cheapest operating cost?
    If you will be maintaining in casa, halos pareho lang siguro operating cost. But if outside, probably cheaper kung Isuzu and Toyota due to availablility of parts and number of mechanics, espiecially Crosswin, since its engine has been around since 1985 pa yata,

    7) Since they are all diesels, which one will be less prone to smoke belching?
    Revo. Smoke blecher boy always target crosswind along C5 kalayaan interchange.

    8) Which one will have parts readily available?
    Isuzu and Toyota.

    If you're looking at secondhand cars, no point going to the dealership for anything.

    Parts are readily available for all three. There are a zillion Adventures on the road and even more 4D56 motors (the Adventure uses the same motor as the L300)... so parts are everywhere. Absolutely everywhere.

    The Crosswind is the most practical pick among the three, though yes, it is the most prone to smoke belching.

    The Revo, however, I've always felt to be the most comfortable.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    My answer would be Crosswind.

    Since UV Express ka naman, hindi ka naman siguro paparahin ng mga ASBU. Pero if you will use it as a private car, good luck when you pass in the croc infested areas.

    Either an Advie or Crosswind is fine. Just look for the best unit available.

    Tnx guys for your immediate replies.

    I'm fishing for a brand new unit.

    Ano ba kasi mayron ang isuzu at kahit bago ang sasakyan ay mausok na agad? Di ba mayron namang turbo yung lowest variant ng Crosswind? Actually, I like the Crosswind more among my options. yun nga lang I have 2nd thoughts because of it's tagged being smoke belcher. Bakit nga ba kasi ganun?

    Yung service ko sa office is a Mitsubishi Adventure GX. It's very reliable kasi yan dala namin parati sa field work sa Tuguegarao, Ilocos and Baguio. Naikot na rin ng ibang kaopisina ko yung MacArthur at Maharlika using this. Tried it on and off-road (dalahin sa mga pilapil at nabalaho na minsan sa lahar hehe). Wala namang nasira whatsoever except nung tinamaan ng bato yung piping ng aircon at nasira yung transmission oil sump dahil mag siraulo na naglagay ng bato sa gitna ng highway.

    With regards to servicing, parang typical na diesel vehicle lang. Parts are readily available. Mausok pala ito kapag hindi napapalitan ng langis. Pina-modify din yung exhaust system para pwede saksakan ng hose para linisin.

    KUNG UV express, better get a van...

    THE BIGGER the better and you got more passengers, double ang kita kada byahe...

    ex. byaheng fairview-ayala 80 pesos per head... CROSSWIND OR ADVIE.. 10X80= Php 800
    URVAN OR HIACE COM. 18X80= Php 1440


    DIFF. OF 640 PESOS kada byahe...

    more or less round trip mileage mo nasa 50 kms.

    when it comes naman sa F.C. ave. F.C. NG van 8km/liter ---- 6.25 liters x 42php/ liter = Php 262 divide by the no. of passengers 18 = Php14.55/passenger
    advie or crosswind 10km/liter ---- 5 liters x 42/liter -=Php 210 10 = 21.0/passenger

    malaman almost double din ang boundary ng van....

    IF i were you get an 18seater van.....

    Sa 3 choices, out mo na sir yung revo, hindi na sya pwede pang UV express kailangan kase modelo

    1. Both AUV are reliable pang UV express, pero kung sa build quality, in favor ako sa advie.

    2. Mas matipid yung crosswind, kung yung route mo wala naman mga akyatin ok naman yung advie

    3.kung ma maintain mo naman, parehas din ok, pero in the long run, mas ok yung advie kase yung crosswind may turbo na, kapag yun ang nagloko mas magastos, kung regular naman yung pagpalit mo ng Tbelt sa advie hinde ka naman masisiraan sa daan

    4.Kapag pampasada mas ok kung hindi na sa casa madali naman imaintain parehas yan.

    5.Almost the same lang sila ng operating cost hindi naman nagkakalayo. madali naman hanapan ng parts.

    6.IMO parehas sila mausok pero kung ok yung maintenance hindi naman, yung ASBU sa route mo sir kaibiganin mo na lang yung team leader para hindi ka naman mahuli kada may operation sila

    Its up to you sir kung anu mas ok sayo pero kung primary concerned mo yung FC na mas matipid, mag crosswind ka na.

    Most UV Express prefer Nissan Urvan for a high capacity vehicle. Nissan has many promos that support UV Express service. If you don't mind the higher cost, it can also seat upto 21 passengers.

    Cars like the Hilux FX, D-Max IPV and L200 FB are better in the sense that they have a hood. It is much safer in a front end collision. Since the engine is not directly below the seat, you wouldn't be slowly cooked while you are driving for the whole day.

    Ang plan ko kasi guys ay yung byaheng Mariking to Cubao lang, so inaasahan ko na maraming sasakay at bababa all the way. So ayoko ng urvan type na van. Yung L300 FB sana kaso lumang-luma na yung technology niya eh. Notorious ba yung D4D engine sa problems?

    I remember the school bus in my old school was an L300. Laging nasisira ang aircon.

    As for the D4D, not really. As long as you fill it up with clean diesel (preferably Unioil's Euro 4 diesel), change the fluids on time, and cool down the turbo after a whole day of use, there shouldn't be any problem.

    Hi sir,

    Taga Marikina ako. Pag galing kasi ng Parang to Cubao ay P30 na ang fare. Ang kagandahan lang kasi dito maraming bumababa sa Riverbanks at sa LRT(Katipunan) kaya sa LRT pa lang ubos na yung tao pwede nang bumalik yung sasakyan. Ang habol ko talaga dito ay yung pag sakay at pagbaba ng pasahero. Pag sa hapon talaga mga 3pm to 7pm madalang ang pasahero papaalis ng Parang pero yung pag-uwe naman ang marami. Atually balak ko nga Parang-LRT lang talaga dahil P30 na yan pag rush hours at mabilis ang byahe nyan.
