centro vs almazora vs metro truck bodies

[altec]

Anybody know which is better? Centro? Almazora? Metro Truck? Sabi kasi ng mitsubishi sa L300 at L200 FB nila, tatlo kasi ang body builder supplier nila. Pareho lang ang presyo sa unit.

1st choice ko almazora. mga FB namin puros almazora body. maganda, tried and tested.
2nd centro. most na nakikita ko from centro mukhang ok din.


will never choose metro truck bodies. ang pangit ng mga FB nila both L300 and L200. mga nakikita ko on road puros bugbog yung rear body pag metro.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Sabi kasi ng mitsu, ang almazora ang standard nila ngayon sa L300 FB, pero sa L200 FB, its a choice between Centro and Metro.

Ang concern ko lang, sabi kasi ng toyota at isuzu ayaw nila ng centro, may durability issue. Almazora din ang preference nila. Ang reservation ko kasi yung L200FB, so its Centro or Metro.

First hand experience, ok talaga almazora. Sumunod ang centro. Metro bulok

[AlwaysMazda]

same scenario din a year ago,L200 FB din kinuha namin,ended up with centro..so far ok naman un..double check mo lang ang door lock nila sa likod kasi pinalitan na yung sa amin 1 week lang mabilis na dislocate..

^TS, check with other dealers also, baka meron naman L200 na almazora body.

pag metro body, wag nalang.

Last time I inquired sa Hyundai Central Edsa Centro daw. Yung Metro optional.

[dr. d]

might i ask... how much? what're the price differences?

[altec]

Prices are the same regardless of body, as far as mitsu is concerned. According to their brochure for the L200FB, I saw the difference are in the measurements:

I will quote measurements as Almazora/Centro/Metro in mm, and kilos.

Length: 2365/2498/2300
Height: 2022/2056/1973
Width: 1750/1750/1750
curb weight: 1699/1667/1664

Looking at the curb weight, magaan ang metro, i.e. manipis ang metal? Ang almazora mabigat pero mas maliit sa centro, i.e. makapal ang metal?

[dr. d]

yes, i think the kapal ng metal says it all..

good luck on your purchase. maintenance lang naman ng body is initial rust proofing and then annual or bi-annual underwash and re-touch nalang ng undercoat

FB Almazora bodies from our motorpool holding up well. Still no rusting and window moldings are still all intact even after years of abuse. Can't comment for Centro/Metro.

[number001]

Never get from Metro Truck. Sub standard workmanship. The company's L300 FB needed roof repainting (due to peeling and surface rust) after only 3 years of use!

IMO, metal bodies made here will always need lots of bondo/body filler (or masilya). That is why I try to avoid them. Even Centro is not immune from this. Just check out their disgusting looking L300 XV. I wonder how many kilos of masilya have been added?

Bottomline: For most type of bodies, get only from Centro or Almazora. This is based on what I see on the road. Never from Metro Truck. Ever.

Personally for aluminum body or dropside, we have it made at Po Chuan Truck Builders. You deal personally with the owners directly. No bureaucracy to sift through unlike in Centro.

[crazy_boy]

even Centro hindi maganda yung mga nakikita ko sa FB. Almazora talaga maganda. no peeling, etc.


i've seen the aluminum body of po chuan. mukhang matibay. is it expensive there?

My uncle has a 2012 Isuzu IPV. Last I checked it had 40+tkms on the clock and is driven pretty much daily for delivery duty. The rear body is Centro. So far there is no rust even though the parking area has no roof and so is exposed to the elements all day long. There are no leaks either. The only problem is the door, which rattles a lot especially when not closed hard. No matter how hard you close the door, the rattle is still evident in bad road conditions.
