Isuzu Dmax vs. Toyota Hilux?

[locoroco777]

FYI, the Strada 3.2 has a timing chain and not a timing belt...

and also...don't use all caps...its not ethical to use that in this type of forums unless your emphasizing something or signifying anger...

and don't make it sound that only the other pickups has reliability issues...which is totally untrue...

BTW, nice FB endorsement page title, "D-MAX ang pick up ng mga gwapo"...:hysterical:

I think Isuzu Motors Phil. should pay you for making that page, make'em buyers look gwapo I suppose?... or did they already?

Basically the difference between gear and belt is the service interval. Of course pag naka belt ka, kailangan mo monitor ang replacement. Hindi naman sa mahuna ang belt driven trucks....

[Ry_Tower]

^hindi rin.

Alam lang kasi ata niyan mag-promote ng FB account niya

The engines timing belt does not make it unreliable. There is a recommended interval for its replacement. Follow it using OEM belts and there won't be an issue. 4d56, 2L and 3L engines are all reliable engines based on my experience. Kahit timing gear yan kung hindi aalagaan, bibigay din yan. Even isuzu builts timing belt engines like 4jb1!

The current hilux would be my pick because of its bigger engine bed and much better 2nd row space. The seats are also better in terms of comfort (hilux). So between the 2 choices, hilux na ako. Basically parehong matagtag is walang karga, parehong matibay, madali piyesa at maintenance, almost same engine performance.

Chief, our current Philippine-issue ISUZU DMax Ddi-iTEQ is "inferior" to the other brands in terms of peak performance, as a matter of fact. While the DMax-siado is among the Top 10 most fuel-efficient vehicles, along with the Ddi-iTEQ Alterra, as tested by the Department of Energy in 2008, it DOES NOT mean, however, that it's better than the 3-litre TOYOTA Hilux D4-D.

The local Hilux is way better as it has the better VGT (or Toyota calls it VNT)-equipped 1KD-FTV engine.
....The downside of the Philippine DMax is the fact that pinapaubos daw ng mga Japon natin sa Isuzu Phils. ang over-production ng year 2004 model Ddi-iTEQ engines ahihi , bago nila ibigay ang iTEQ VGS Turbo engine na binebenta nila sa ibang bansa noong 2007 pa. Ang iTEQ VGS Turbo naman ay noong 2006 pa available at may VGT na rin ito noon pa man.... The Europeans and Australians are categorised as Class "A" consumers by Isuzu Japan, and the Thais as Class "B" consumers, and the rest of the SE Asians that include us Pinoys, Malaysians, Vietnamese etc etc are grouped as Class "C" ahihi ahoho.... Unlike other brands gaya ng Toyota, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Ford/ Mazda, walang classifications ng mga consumers at any region; kung anong nakikita mong Hilux, Triton/ L200 (Strada sa Pinas), Ranger, Navara sa ibang bansa ay ito rin ang mga halos binebenta sa atin sa Pinas....

Harinawa'y for 2012 dalhin na dito sa Pinas ng Isuzu Phils yang iTEQ VGS Turbo.... Kasi nga for 2012, may bago na rin Isuzu pickup na papalit na sa DMax, which is the Isuzu "RT-50". According sa isang Thai na kaibigan ko, nag-test run daw ang Isuzu Thailand ng RT-50 sa Chonburi, Thailand at iba na rin ang makina at body-design nito; initial figure is plus 180 horsepower, according to him, and that the same engine will be fitted to the 2012 MU-7 (Alterra of the Thais).

Kung for 2012 di pa rin dinala dito ang "parang lumang na ngayong" iTEQ VGS Turbo engine, two (2) generations behind na tayong mga Pinoy na bumibili pa ng mga DMax-siado at Alterra dito sa Pinas ahihi ahoho ....Tsalap-tsalap ahihi....

Tama ka chief, naka-timing chain ang 3.2-litre Strada at Monterosport
