Arguably YES, absolutely agree with the Ford Ranger's engine prowess as well as with the Renault-Nissan engine designed 3.0-litre V6 Nissan Navara.... But for 2013 sir, this is only a single magazine.


On the other hand though, don't quite agree as this is only a single Australian based magazine that is not even quite influential for a 4x4 advice....

The Isuzu D-max 3.0-litre iTEQ VGS Turbo and its twin-turbo 2.5-litre Euro version are REAPING more awards not only in Australia but also in the UK, Germany, and Austria, where the magazine shootouts are more influential, like Auto Bild of Germany and 4WD Action of Australia. Allrad Champions of Austria is an arm of the Auto Bild magazine.

The 4WD Action test, on the other hand, was even done in fine desert sands with top-hauling at the vehicle's GVM.... The D-max was the top pick overall and it was even the most fuel efficient in the group.


Here are the different pickup 4x4 shootouts, one is in a detailed pdf copy....

The European and Australian theatres awards
International & Past Awards | Isuzu UTE Australia, Isuzu D-MAX, Isuzu Awards

The 4WD Action and Delivery magazines awards
Latest Awards | Isuzu UTE Australia, Isuzu D-MAX, Ute of the Year

But the "better" D-max engine, the 4JJ1-TCX series, will not be offered to the Philippine market, so these international shootouts are meaningless for Pinoys unless that engine gets here hehe.... Not only that the message i got recently by SMS from an Isuzu agent that it's not only going to be offered, but most likely, it will never be offered.... The Isuzu Motors in these foreign countries are from the superior business sense of Isuzu Philippines.

In Philippines though, my top pick is still the Toyota Hilux 3.0 D-4D and the 2nd is the 5-inline cylinder Ford Ranger 3.2 TDCi. Push comes to shove if i want more power and torque, the Ranger will be the KING ;)

Oh my, you really shouldn't mention or post links to articles that insinuate that the DMax is not Number 1. You're opening Pandora's Box by doing so.

Yes, the Ranger (its BT-50 twin) and VW Amarok are probably the top pickups now.

Still, Australia's most powerful tradie.

Pinaka ka last sa ranking pala ang Mitsubishi Triton o Strada hehe

Moreover, some struggled with how it looks describing it as too "slopey" - mukhang itlog....

Pang Pilipinas lang talaga :peace:

No doubt sir, 6-cylinder V6 by Renault engineers ;)

Super kumbaga! Ang hefty price lang nito ang may comment sila, presyong pang mid-luxury cars

Just bought my Strada GLS V last February, so if I may answer the thread, siempre Strada number ONE ko So far, i am LOVING it everyday. Then next is...
2. Ranger - yung 3.2 Wildtrak lang
3. Colorado
4. BT50 - di ko lang gusto ang kanyang front view
5. Hilux
6. Amarok,- would have been my top choice kung nandito sya sa Pinas
7. Navarra
8. Dmax - would have been another top choice kung yung twin turbo sya.

[basti08]

Ranger and Navarra SV for me.

^ mas OK kung eton variant na to ang ginamit nila. Baka tumaas pa ranking ng Navarra. Pero honestly, ang ganda ng specs ng engine nya ah. No wonder, Mercedes wants to franchise the Navarra and Titan pick ups for 2016. Magkakaroon na ng Nissan/Mercedes pickups.

[dualsim]

it is definitely a toss up between dmax and santa fe... no other pickup better is better than santa fe (slight margin over dmax)...

fyi... if i have that money, i would buy a sedan instead... and the best sedan, of course, is a toss up between dmax and santa fe...

hope to help...

G series pickup?

Difference from 174hp to 184hp dci engines is the latter using electronic VGT and some fine tunings. I would still prefer the Renault V6 over YD25. Downside is it doesnt come in M/T - maybe Renault engineers was very aware of high torque killing the duel mess flywheels..

Hilux for me, middle east favorites pickup :D
