minimum 10 seater 4x4 van for outreach projects, what are my options?

[monmendoza]

Hello Fellow tsikoteers,

I am very active in Kawang Gawa projects. Most of my projects involve communities in far flung areas. I am currently using my 2-3 4x4 SUVs when we do this. I wish I can just bring 1 vehicle. So I am looking for a larger 4x4 Van. I really prefer brand new as I don't want the vehicle to breakdown in the middle of nowhere. But would consider second hand if i am convinced that it can be made reliable.

I am looking at a 4x4 Kia K2700 panoramic, but I don't like the looks. Do I still have other options?

Maraming salamat sa sasagot.

Kia is the only choice for atleast 10 seater. Or order a grey market starex. Not sure kung may 4x4 pa sila

There is an extended version also.

Lock sure if the rear has lockable diff.

I think may 4WD GS pa, but unlike the former eto same ground clearance (or very minimal lang increase). It doesn't look like a 4WD exterior wise. Found it while Youtube-ing lang hehe. Parang hindi na siya pang off road.

bili ng 4x4 pickup tapos pacustomize yung cargo bed into a side facing seats na folding. parang sa jeepney. may canopy syempre. air continuous nga lang yung mga sasakay sa likod.

parang yung hilux (or mahindra enforcer) na service ng pnp.

Meron palang 4x4 na sprinter, very interesting, pero pass muna ako. Duda ako aabutin ng P8M ang cost nito plus the fact na I'm sure napakahirap ng piesa in case nagkaroon nang problems.

Yes I have seriously considered the Land Cruiser LC 70 troop carrier but I have checked the dimension and it is not much longer than my LC 70 LX10 that I am currently using, parang bitin ang haba niya, but I would really like to see one in the flesh. I have check olx lately, wala akong nakita as of now.

Right now the vehicles that I used the most in our 4x4 outreach are:
1. Toyota LC 70 Lx10
2. Land Rover Defender D110
3. Toyota Fortuner

[miked]

onga pala. yung LC "troop carrier". kaso 2nd hand na lang. unless kung makakuha po kayo sa pinost ni sir anonemus na source.

I did'nt know na meron pang Hyundai 4x4 Grand Starex. When I read your suggestion, I immediately searched in it Youtube. Meron nga! My concern though is:

1. Parang mababa siya, baka puro sayad pag ginamit sa super rough road
2. Saan kaya pwedeng bumili nito? Can anybody recommend a reliable gray market importer?

Saan ba pwede magpagawa ng parang FB type na body to replace the cargo bed of the pick-up? I guess centro or almazora won't entertain a small 1 unit order.

Baka pwede yan sir sa grey market, though siguro mahal na kasi di nila inooffer yung variant. Kayo din po makakapagsabi base sa mga usual nadadaanan niyo hehe.

Does it have to be brand new po ba? Sa mga used imports madami 4WD vans like Hiace at yung Delica Spacegear. Risky nga lang kapag di maganda condition mahirap masiraan sa malayong lugar.

Hindi ba kaya ng Atoy Customs yan?

[dishcom]

On my opinion. 4x4 pickup parin ang best option sa ganitong use else custom van na pwd sa kalsadang dadaanan..

hindi ba may variants na ganyang body types iyong mga isuzu pick-ups na inooffer? iyong ninong ko kasi ganyan ang gamit pang ferry ng mga empleyado niya from one branch of his ofc to another

btw, to the ts, very commendable ang ginagawa niyo ser

convert LC 70 LX10 second row seats into UV express van like seats - parang jeep, minus one space lang sa right side para pwede sa side door parin pumasok.

cheers sir sa inyu at sa buong team nyu sa mga future missions nyu pa!

[dishcom]

Mas ok nga yun. 4x4 pickup. Then convert to be jeep type hangang 2nd row. Dahil jeep type na siya. Asa gilid naka upo ang passenger. Makaka sakay pa ng maraming gamit sa gitna or mas ma uunat ang mga paa ng tao.

I'm guessing it's the Land Cruiser LC78 that you need? Good for 13 pax.







I checked Carmudi and there's no LC78.

Ask your favorite Toyota dealer to contact TGS if they can order you one?

May 4x4 bang Isuzu I-Van? Or kung may 4x4 na Isuzu N-Series tapos FB type yung likod. Meron mga 4x2 na Isuzu N series na FB type ang likod eh. Medyo mura siguro compared sa LC pero truck na talaga ang dating (pero for heavy duty talaga siya at madali parts). I guess kasama naman talaga sa sacrifice ang ride comfort nyo pamamahagi ng biyaya.

[gundam]

Well sabi nila atleast 2 4x4. Kahit brand new, you never know.
