Recommended 4x4 roadtrip & family vehicle

Pajero definitely. One of the most timeless SUVs ever to grace our shores. Lethargic engine aside, I'd even consider it over a Fortuner.

Yup, just like the 3.2 4M41, the 4M40 runs in timing chain as well.

The boxy good looking Fieldmaster is the BEST-LOOKING Pajero variant (referred to as Montero in Europe - pajero in Spanish or Latin European means wanker, thus the name change for the European market)

In Subic, the older Fieldmaster is priced almost the same as the relatively newer-style Japanese Shogun sold as used thereat.

try the smaller version like th suzuki samurai....look at the one that is upgraded...easy to maneuver and economical
have one look at this site (http://tsikot.com/forums/suzuki-cars...nt=Yahoo!+Mail)

Out-of-Topic (Kindly excuse me gents, sorry for this):

Hi sir, saw that advert already last night as from time-to-time i'm also checking the Suzie thread - that Samurai is definitely armed-to-the-teeth to tackle the rough stuff

i'm completely satisfied, however, with this boxy-style Wake up little Suzy V6 4x4 manual-tranny that i got 2nd-hand - runs also in timing gear-and-chain

If ever i will get another vehicle, it should be also a classic boxy SUV, a Japanese/or Dubai-version Landcruiser 70 Series, and this will be for the long-haul.... But this is just a dream at the moment haha

Cheers!

Hinde ba malakas sa gas yan vitara mo, dmac?

Ever since gusto ko yung edition ng Vitara na yan. Brusko. Di nga lang bumenta, sayang.

Pero bakit RHD, wala ka pala sa Pinas?

Oo chief, pang-kaliwete ang kambiada! Ang pangit tignan sa totoo lang! Haha!

Malakas siguro sa gas ito kung diyan sa trapik natin sa Pinas, lalo na yung auto-tranny version nito.

Maluluwang naman dito at laging relatively long-drive out-of-city assignments ko chief sa Oz outback. City driving ko is around 8.0 to 8.5 km per litre at long drives around 11.2 km per litre. Kaso kapag napasarap ka sa upak ng silinyador, lumalamon din hehe....

Tama ka, wala ngang appeal sa atin sa Pinas ang Grand Vitara kahit na sadyang maganda naman at ewan ko nga bakit ....Pero ang version natin diyan ay 2.4 VVT gasoline na 4x2 auto-tranny lang at tingin ko matipid ito kaysa dito sa V6, though i haven't driven the 2.4-litre variant to compare chief. Yung 3.2 V6 VVT 4x4 kung o-orderin daw based sa nakausap ko sa Suzuki Pasig, sa Japan pa daw kukunin priced at PhP1.7 M. It's auto-tranny nga lang walang manual HIKBI!

Cheers!
