Which pickup should I choose this 2020?

[Ry_Tower]

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.

Yes.. standard po yan. May commission na ibibigay si bank of your choice sa dealer

Go for toyota conquest.. blue

Isa pa toyota hilux hindi mukhang fortuner.. like the rest of the competition na same or almost same ang front fascia.. lalo na yung dmax at mux.. magkaMUXha talaga..

Front end ng Hilux non-conquest at yung Fortuner magkaiba din naman

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

Medyo matakaw on my perspective, although my only point of comparison is my manual trans Nissan Sylphy which runs at 11-12kpl at 15-17kph. If it's at 11.24kpl at 19kph, hmmm I think it sounds reasonable pala, so around 10-10.5kpl at 15-17kph.

15-17kph is my daily average speed.

Auto deal got 6.8km/l in slower city traffic with the 4x4

VL AT 2019 by autodeal

City(10-15kph average) :6.8km/l
60kph avg:12.2km/l
Hwy(90kph avg) :16.2km/l

Kaya nga mas marami din Navara dito sa Davao.

Ouch that's not good though. Our Fortuner V 3.0 4x4 averages the same on City...

UPDATE:
I have test driven the Navara 4x4 today and it's really nice on the ride comfort. However, na notice ko kaagad yung slight kabig to the right even on their test drive unit which has around 5k km palang. It's noticeable to the point na mangangalay yung kamay mo sa kaka-counter specially on long drives.

Unfortunately ayaw magpa test drive ni Toyota, not sure why. Is it their policy?

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.

[n0cary3t]

they are still selling the old hiace commuter madami siguro sila stocks or order. nawala na ung grandia nila un sana gusto ko if ever.

Doesn't gets much better with the 4x2 basing from the terra's 4x4 and 4x2 VL variants as tested by Autoindustriya
Terra 4x4 VL
City (avg 18 km/h):8.2km/l
Highway(unknown avg):15km/l

Terra 4x2 VL

Highway(unknown avg):15.4km/l

Navara El Calibre AT
City(20 km/h average):8.9 km/l
Highway(avg 89 km/hr):12.9 km/l

The hilux seems to do better under the same test by them

Sobrang lakas benta ni Toyota that they don't need to do test drives. With waitlists on nearly all their cars, they don't really care if you don't buy because someone else surely will.

Just an update to this thread. BDO will be having their annual Deals on Wheels this weekend, and an agent from Subaru called me that there will be rates to be offered lower than the VIP rates.

By the way, i test drove a Subaru Forester, deym!!!! The ride quality is superb, but the transmission is underwhelming. I was able to push it on an aircraft runway of roughly a kilometer. Definitely the Navarra has better engine and transmission.
