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

**monmendoza** · January 24th, 2016 11:19 PM

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

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.

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.

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

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?

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.
