    Most reliable nga ang Sarao, Malaguena, and the likes, pero most polluted, most unsafe, most uncomfortable, most barbaric, most inefficient, and most of all the ugliest.

    When you say sarao para na rin compliment yan sa Isuzu engine, So the really most reliable is Isuzu Elf. ...IMO

    I read somewhere before that there is a correlation between price and complaints. The more premium, the higher the rate of complaints. This probably applies to this survey which was conducted in the UK. Buyers of premium priced Euro cars are more affluent and will speak their minds out the moment they notice any issues with their vehicles. "Ang mahal na nga ng binayad ko, tapos nagkaka-depekto pa!" Whereas buyers of more popularly priced vehicles tend to have modest incomes and can be more forgiving with the issues their vehicles may have.

    YUP, reliable at durable mga Isuzu engines chief!!

    Other than the 1981-designed Isuzu 2.8-litre 4B Aywan chief hehe, the other most popular Sarao engines include also the 1980-designed 3.3-litre 4BC1 and the 1979-designed 3.9-litre 4BD1. Ginagamit pa rin ng mga Sarao itong mga makinang ito hanggang ngayon. Yung 4BD1 ginamit din ng Land Rover ;)

    Eh, wala daw silang direct-diesel injected turbodiesel na commonrail pa para sa Sarao haha!

    Cheers!

    Wala pa commonrail pero direct injection meron na! I have ridden in newer jeepneys with the 4JB1 engine, and also an aircon jeepney with the 4HF1 engine. Iba talaga kapag bagong makina, ang layo sa mga 4Bxx engines in terms of smoothness of operation. Pero yung mga 4BC1 o 4BC2 ang lakas humatak!

    I have noticed though that Fuso engined jeepneys (usually 4DR5 or 4DR7) are much more quiet and exhibit much lesser vibration as compared to their Isuzu counterparts.

    YUP sir, yung 4BC2 ng dating boss ko na tubong Benguet may sideline business na gulayan sa Benguet area wika niya bukod sa malakas humatak ang Isuzu 4BC2, ang tipid pati hehe! ...."Yung truck kung yon hindi ako binibigyan ng problema. Laki nga ng pasalamat ko eh", wika pa niya.

    Mga farmers sa Benguet at Mountain Province suki nila ang mga Isuzu 4BC1, 4BC2 at 4BD1.... You travel Baguio-Halsema Highway, mga makina na gamit nila doon halos mga Isuzu chief. Buhay na buhay pa rin mga lumang makina na ito that one can trace as far back as 1979 - may 4-wheel drive ang 3.9-litre 4BD1 chief kaya gusto nila as rugged talaga, pang-harabas.... Maging sa mga barakong Sarao na bumabiyahe ng Batangas-Mindoro o kahit yung mga barakong Sarao na bumabiyahe ng Baguio City paakyat ng Voice of America Broadcasting (VOA) facility area kung saan may kalakihang community doon ay halos 4BD1 gamit na makina.

    Cheers!

    Sabi nga daw ng isang tito ko na nakatira sa Baguio yung mga jeep dun ang lakas ng makina, yung ibang malalaki 4x4 pa. Ang tindi tingnan ang mga jeepney na pabalik-balik sa Balatok Mines, fully loaded with miners going through VERY steep, mountainous terrain.

    WOW boss GTi!! Benguet Corporation boy ka?? Anak ka ng mine staff sir doon dati?

    Isuzu 4BD1 4x4 halos mga makina ng mga iyan chief ;)

    Try mo bumisita sa Radar chief, ika nga nila - this is the Voice of America transceiver facility sa tuktok ng Baguio, pero alam mo na ito malamang.... Halos puros bangin na rough-road madadaanan mo, pero mga barakong 4x4 jeepney doon na may karga pa ka-karerahin ka mapa-paakyat man o palusong, tapos bihira pa sila pumreno hehe

    Umakyat kami doon noong December 2010, kino-concrete mga ibang road-sections that time.... Dala ko si D-max.

    Cheers!

    Hahaha!~ Noo... I just happened to visit the mine a couple of times. Diba tourist destination na ang Balatok Mines ngayon? Tourist destination na siya ngunit ang bulok parin ng daanan. Almost no private cars traverse the area. The path that leads to its entrance is unpaved and very, very steep. Medyo nahirapang umakyat na yung Trooper 4x2 namin. Yung Starex (Club A/T turbo intercooler) na kasama namin, natakot baka di kayaning umakyat, bumaba ang nakasakay at nilakaran nila yung steep part. Mabuti't nakaakyat siya. It would seem that both cars took full advantage of the LSD.

    Actually, di ko pa napuntahan yang Voice of America. Di ko nga alam yan eh. Makitanong nga on my next trip, whenever that may be.

    Ang galing gumamit ng engine brake ang mga tao dun. Downside lang di mo makikita kung kelan sila nagpapapreno. Ang lakas pa naman ng engine brake ng diesel. Kaming mga matic ang dala, preno ng preno.

    Haha~ I cannot really say anymore exactly how steep it is since I failed to take a picture. Also I was not the one driving at the time. Basta naalala ko matarik yan. Most likely similar to the path in the picture you took with the 300+tkms RHD company D-Max.

    And since a 4x2 Starex A/T turbo intercooler (LSD equipped) was able to climb (albeit with an empty load), under dry conditions, I suppose a manual pickup should be able to climb that.
