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.
I know someone with an Alterra who had his fuel intake system taken down. Unfortunately he isn't computer literate kaya di makapost dito hehe. Isuzu managed to replace it and no problems thereafter.

I'm sure marami nang comparo sa pickups dito if you backread. Best way is still to test drive both vehicles (exactly the variant you want) if that's possible. And make it a looong test drive.

Malakas nga yung CRDi ng Hyundai/Kia, specifically the ones on the Starex and the Santa Fe. Kaya lang wala naman silang pickup
