    Isn't the Hi-Lux a Toyota, not a Mitsu?

    Maintenance wise, I would still go for the trusted Toyota, Mitsubishi, Nissan and Isuzu

    If you could afford the Hi-Lux, go for the Hi-Lux, pero I have heard that the Thunder isn't that bad at all. Even Car and Driver isn't disappointed.

    What does a Mitsubishi Hi-Lux look like?

    kidding aside, i think the foton thunder is a good truck. it has all the right tools to become one.

    The TOYOTA Hilux is a tried, tested and well proven vehicle. Great engine, good 4x4 system and very reliable and good looking.

    Maganda kung sa maganda ang Thunder yun nga lang parts ang problema kasi nung nag test drive ako sa Tuguegarao may isang owner ng Thunder na nagrereklamo sa katagalan ng piyesa. BTW may limited edition ang Thunder na kalalabas lang at may 100k discount.

    Mag Ford Ranger ka na lang siguradong mayayakap ka pa ng dad mo sa tuwa

    Eto bang Cummins engine ng Foton ay directly galing Cummins, o licensed technology lang? I would be having some doubts about the reliability kung China made yan. There have been complaints circulating that the Isuzu-licensed engines used in Chinese trucks have been unreliable due to soft steel used among other issues. Another probable concern would be rustproofing. Yet another is parts and maintenance. I believe it is the only mass market vehicle officially available in the country that uses a Cummins engine. You'd probably be ordering from the casa all the time.

    Hilux 3.04x4 M/T would be great. You get good power, acceptable gas mileage, and plenty of parts. If you want something more comfortable and manueverable, then Strada it is.

    Base from what I have read and see, nag joint venture talaga ang Cummins and Foton. May mga nabasa din ako na write ups na it’s powered by Cummins engine nakita ko rin naman yung engine nitong thunder nung nag punta ko sa mias mukhang legit naman may logo pa ng Cummins yung Thunder.

    Ito yung video na nakita ko share ko lng [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJDdoKT2U28]Inside Cummins: This Is Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Company - YouTube[/ame]

    And here’s the write-up nabasa ko sir Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Company starts production of Cummins ISF light-duty engine.

    I would be more confident if the cummins engine was made in the u.s. and not if it is mAde or assembled in china.

    Do you know that even known brands such as toyota, nissan, honda, hyundai, mercedes benz, also have factories and counterparts in china?!?
    In fact, madami sa mga factories nila sa japan ang nagsara after the tsunami and they opened instead in china.
    Yup, i know.

    But like I said, "I'd be more" confident if the engine came directly from the states. Not that i have no confidence on that made or assembled in china. And surely quality control will not be compromised because cummins wouldn't allow that.
