the Palisade and its Telluride cousin facade and features are imposing on paper. haven't seen either of them in their respective casa close to me. additionally, that 350k difference is a bit difficult to sell to my finance controller.
ang maganda nito, ang mga casa nila ay malapit lang sa isat-isa sa Dagupan. who knows pag nakita ni misis ay biglang mabago ang pananaw.
I would go for the current Explorer. Much newer platform than the Mazda CX9.
Though you cant go wrong with either premium midsize crossover. They will serve your needs well.

Over 8years of trouble-free 1st-hand Skyactiv ownership makes me lean CX9. Plus, I'm around 2 10yr old CX5s which have been their respective owner's fave daily. Pretty proven.

Drove the new explorer for two weeks in LA a few months back. Comfortable and can be fast and fun pero I still hated it. Nakakainis kasi gamitin ung rotary knob to shift gears. Especially when maneuvering sa parking wherein you have to shift between D and R several times in succession. Sobrang jerky and may delay and shudder. Idk if its just that particular unit or if all the new explorers are like that. I much prefer the previous explorer for this reason.

nabanggit mo yung diesel, kung wala lang yung GC namin baka yung bagong kia Carnival na ang kukuhanin ko. alam ko meron tao na hindi happy dito
tried inquiring for test drive sa Ford Dagupan at Baguio, wala daw sila test drive unitusually naman ang experience ko, pumapayag naman sila ng short drive lang gamit ang display units.
wala sa consideration bro, medyo mahal na sya masyado at wala rin malapit na dealership sa lugar ko.
just visited Ford and Mazda cazas in Dagupan. parehong walang display na unit.
Both will arrive earliest by 3rd week of October (still not sure kung totoo ito).
lagi ng nag paparamdam nitong 2. kailangan daw magbigay ng reservation para ma-secure yung unit.
sabi ko di pa ako sure kung ano kukuhanin dahil di ko pa nakikita in the metal. balikan ko na lang sila after meron na yung actual units para ma-bistahan ng husto.
the Mazda CX9 free PMS for 5 yrs or 100k whichever comes first is very enticing!
parang may 100K discount sya sa kanyang SRP. medyo nabighani si misis ditosabi ko tignan muna natin sa personal para at least walang buyer's remorse in the end.
Same sa Makati and QC for the Mazda. I was at the Makati dealership kanina and ang sabi baka daw sa end of October pa ang mga cx-9 na stocks. Ang sabi lang nila is lahat walang stock right now except for the pickup nila and the mx5 rf. So para daw maka reserve ka mag deposit ka which is refundable naman daw.
Wala din sila new model for demo, meron dun just the 2018 model for test drive.
If Mazda PH is bringing in the 6 seater CX-9 this could be something you can look into, if 2nd row comfort is what you are looking for. Otherwise there's the 6 seater CX-8.
