Which pickup should I choose this 2020?

That's a wrong notion po. It does not apply to all. remember that some of the models you mentioned have the same eng for the 4x2 and 4x4. The Hilux and the Dmax are the only exception as their 4x4 models have higher eng displacement while the rest have the same engine. These ute's are also part time 4WD's and unless you engage their 4WD mode, they are running 4x2 most of the time. The weight difference between a same model brand 4x2 vs 4x4 is not that significant. parang isang tao lang kung sakali. These utes are NOT fulltime all-wheel drive also (where fuel consumption is an issue). Between the Hilux and the Navarra, the Hilux probably has lesser creature comforts but far capable when it comes to loading capacity (HIlux with rear leafsprings vs the Navarra's rear coils) and real-world 4WD use. On paper, the Navarra wins. But longterm use will somehow see the Hilux dominate this segment because of enormous aftersales support and aftermarket upgrades

Huh? You're right on this. Never really bothered double checking the curb weight. Checking the Navara 4x4 VL AT vs 4x2 EL Calibre AT, around 2 medium sized adult din ang difference pero I think that's minimal pa din.

As for aftermarket sales and support, dalawa yung Nissan dealership namin dito with different ownerships while Toyota as 4 Casas (2 Dealerships, 1 upcoming dealership, and 1 body and paint casa) pero iisa lang may-ari so I guess we won't benefit with the competition if i go with Toyota. Ang dami ding Navara dito sa amin compared to Hilux, so I would assume dadami na rin ang parts and services.

Nissan is a growing car company in the Philippines. I don't think you need to worry about parts for their cars. Best seller nga Navarra nila eh.

Mas kunti pa parts ng Isuzu for sure. But the Toyota Conquest is really good too.

Bumabalik yung glory days ng Nissan ngayon. Noong mabenta pa sila noong mga 80's - 90's
Pero for me kahit yung non-conquest Hilux G ok na. Same lang mechanicals

oo lahat ng hiace kasi wide body na and that hideous front end mas ok pa yung looks ng super grandia elite. Di ko sure kung binebenta pa nila yung old hiace commuter narrow body. Lahat ng bagong release na Hiace na nakikita ko puro deluxe na wide body and 1GD engine.
