I am currently choosing between the strada and dmax. porma at amenity wise maganda ang strada. kaya lang ung ung custom edition with all the amenities are available only on the 4x4 high end. wala silang 4x2 at hindi maganda ang amenities sa 4x2. high end kasi mahal.
Strada siempre, pero wait for the new version, lumabas na yun sa Thailand so it should be here anytime soon.

Totoo yan 20years ago but not anymore. Maraming palpak na Isuzu engines namely yung sa trooper na nagloloko ang injectors, meron pang isang series (sa Alterra) pero unconfirmed pa since wala pang tsikoteer na nasiraan na pwede magkwento.

Basically, ang pinakareliable nila yung mga engines ng crosswind.

sa mga non-luxury brands, the leader is Hyunda-KIA with their German CRDi technology. Their R-Engine series can produce 200-220hp/461Nm out of a 2.2L block.

sa mga luxury, siempre BMW, VW Audi at MB.
