Pajero BK vs FJ Cruiser

**jetrc** · December 27th, 2017 04:35 PM

Hi everyone, would like to ask your opinion when comparing these two cars. I will be in the market very soon for a 4x4 vehicle that can used on a daily basis and also on long provincial trips. My main consideration is a vehicle that is dependable and can be used on not-so-friendly terrain for business use, and something with ample power. Fuel consumption not much of a factor (which is why i'm considering an FJ) but could be a bonus (same thing for the BK). I'm also used to driving big vehicles so not really considering a CUV. Basically i'm comparing these two because i like the retro looks and i would like something "classic" hahaha. Any inputs would be much appreciated

PS. If BK i will be getting it brand new, but for the FJ i'm also considering going secondhand

BK since it's the last of its kind. FJ.. pwede pang mabili in the future especially that you'll purchase the BK brand new.

Are you considering the BK gas or diesel? If the diesel, I'd get the BK as it's more practical as a daily driver versus the FJ, especially if people will be riding the rear often enough.

If you're considering gas variants of both, I'd get the FJ.

parang talong-talo ka na dyan sa FJ, tataas ang srp excise tax, tataas ang gasoline tax tapos kelangan pa dyan premium octane. tapos ni hindi man lang leather seats, tapos bibile ka pa ng stepboard saka roofrail, tapos walang backup camera. after excise tax, how much is that 2M? spending 2M next year for a car tech circa 2004 is eccentricity

Hands down BK!

Our CK pajero for over 12 years had it's tie-rod and bushing set changed after 200,000km.

Rough road, highway, hills, and city use.

Tough AF

Parang wala pang nilalabas si Mitsubishi, pero based on the price increase posted by Honda and Toyota on there cars priced near the BK, increase could be relatively small. Case point : Hiace LXV priced at 2.593M increase by just 26K.
