[d_mac]

may sinundan akong dmax nung isang araw sa nlex e ang kupad iniwan ko na hehehehe

Yan ang maganda sa yo chief, puros bilis ang alam

Kaya sa iyo lang ako eh!

[d_mac]

Those i believe are more than 1M already Actually it is out of my price range me and my sister will shoulder the cost. All I need is a dependable and pickup with good FC and maintenance.

Siempre Dmax chief!

Runs in maintenance-free timing gear-and-chain, wala kang kaba.... Yang Hilux at Strada in timing belts. Medyo kakaba-kaba ka na before even reaching every 100,000-km mark....

....Resulta ng patid na timing belt sir, while you're running - alam mo na, engine seizure, sira piston mo at cylinder pag napabayaan. Pag napatid na yan, huwag na huwag pilitin i-start sir si Hilux o si Strada (not the 3.2-litre 4M41 though that runs in timing chain as well), lalaki lalo sira niyan sa loob.... Make no mistake about it, as a family, we have had Toyota's, Isuzu's and Mitsubishi's

Kung FC pinag-uusapan, wala ng mas titipid pa sa Dmax. 11.7 km per litre daw si misis sa Dmax even in Metro Manila driving, kasama pa daily morning standstill warm-ups diyan as we never load the engine until it is within its operating temperature. It is also the only one in the market na "long-stroke" diesel. Almost ka-stroke length nito ang 3.2-litre 4M41 na makina ng Mitsubishi. Pinag-kaiba lang significantly ay ang bore size ng cylinder.

As far as year model ng mga makina is concerned, here are as follows:

1. Strada - Year 1990's old 4D56 that was mated with a high-boost mechanical VGT. Puhunan ng 178 hp niya ay "boosting", en tonses....

2. Hilux - Year 2001 1KD-FTV diesel intercooled (for the 3.0-litre D-4D) and it already comes standard with a variable nozzle turbocharger since its conception (VNT or VGT, it's just the same banana.... Honeywell yata gumawa ng VNT). The 1KD-FTV is also shared with the Toyota Prado, only that the engine in the Prado is tweaked-out, kaya malakas kaysa sa Hilux's 1KD-FTV.

3. Dmax (Philippine-issue) - Year 2004 4JJ1-TC that comes only with a wastegate turbocharger. It was designed primarily just for better fuel consumption and lower carbon emission not for earth-shaking peak performance (the Dmax has the lowest carbon emission, while the Navara pollutes the highest). The one with the VGT is not sold here. This is the one you see in Thailand before the Dmax RT-50 came out. What we have here in Pinas is a 2nd-generation behind engine wahehehehe.... The one with the VGT is a tweaked-out 4JJ1-TC in 2005 then released in 2006, dubbed as 4JJ1-TCX or 4JJ1-TC "hi-power".

Cheers! Goodluck sa choices mo sir.

I will check out the D-max and schedule for a test drive Thanks d_mac very informative.

Yup, better check them out sir. Mabibilang mo lang talaga taong nag-iisip, at isa ka na doon.

Basta kung habol mo ay dependability, durability, longevity plus best fuel consumption na utility pickup, diyan ka sa Isuzu Dmax chief.




Kung habol mo naman walang mintis na inutility pickup, tanongin mo si Kevin3000 Strada

Aba, may isang fanboi pala ditong ayaw magpatalo kahit na in real world eh talo na?

D-Max, Strada, o Hilux? Kung base model usapan, Strada o Hilux lang. Kung isasama ang Ranger, posible pa ito. Pipiliin ko lang ang D-Max kung ang usapan eh 4x4 3.0 4JJ1 Engine or much better, Alterra

Yup, and you can get the Dmax LX 4x2 3.0 Ddi-iTEQ for less than PhP1.0 M which the thread starter is aiming at, budget-wise....

If the thread starter is a good manual-transmission driver, he can potentially get plus 20.00 km per litre fuel mileage on the LX 4x2 model out from the 3.0-litre CRDi engine, in combined freeways (expressways) and provincial road networks, as established already by the Automobile Association of the Philippines in October 2010.

Yan chief ang real life na sinasabi mo hehe

[m05tw4nt3d]

Pwede na rin pala pang tapat tong dmax sa all new mirage, 21km/liter ang claim ng mitsu. Hehehe

Manageable ang ganyan kung ang takbo mo eh 60km/h lang. Kaya pala matipid ang D-Max sa krudo, kasi ang bagal nila tumakbo

:bwahaha:

[dualsim]

yup... talagang sobrang daming binubuga nyang dmax... USOK NGA LANG... pero madami... as in... the TS should really consider this... it is a feature of dmax...

Guys need more info and comparison among the three medo mahiap magdecide. this will be my first car kase thanks

Hi jacob, here are my comments:

Strada: This is the most comfortable ride, most human-pampering suspension among the three. It also has the highest horse power rating on paper among the three but only by a small margin. The most stylish among the three in my opinion, and has high ground clearance. Pick this if you just want the overall versatility of a pickup, but wouldn't ready use it for extreme hauling and more of everyday driving.

Hilux: Being a Toyota, it has the advantage of having cheap and available genuine parts everywhere, and Toyota is also known for good after sales service. Ride quality is so so, same as the new Fortuner, but stiffer than the Strada, it provides better handling in exchange for comfort. It has a good balance of high clearance and the capacity to handle off-road punishment. Hilux is a bit bulgy in terms of design but find that more "macho". In the past there were reported problems in the D4D engine, but this issue is I think fixed in the new models. Pick this if you want a very balanced vehicle for both personal and business use, while having the Toyota brand advantage.

Dmax: Significantly higher fuel efficiency among the three. It also has engine durability and reliability with no known common engine problems despite poor local diesel quality. It has the most simple but pleasing truck-like design. It is also has the most loaded entertainment system among the three. Ride quality is stiffer but by a small margin compared to Hilux, but better handling and lower center of gravity. Provincial owners find this a very reliable pick, and has decent capacity to handle off-road punishment. Pick this if you want a durable and capable work horse where the most minimal maintenance is needed.


In the end, you can't go wrong with any of the three. The advantage points are not too far off from the other two, I guess it really boils down to personal preference. HTH

Dmax LT is only 2.5 engine same engine ng croswind lang hindi kaya ilampaso kalang sa daan ng hilux 2.5 ang strada 2.5 non vgt?


Sent from my KaliKotPad using TATAK HD

I hope you won't jump into conclusions without driving one everyday. My parents own an Alterra, same engine and internals as a Dmax, and I'm always excited to drive it since it really has power to deliver, even if it has low horse power readings on paper. Try driving one with heavy loads and compare the same use case to the other 2. Cheers =)

[GTi]

^I believe the base model that the TS is referring to is the LX model with the 4JJ1 engine, and not the fleet-minded LT model with the Crosswind engine.
