    Hi guys! I need your input. Kung may budget ka na 1.4M, alin sa dalawa ang pipiliin nyo? MU-X or Trailblazer? Why? Pros and Cons of each. Salamat mga ka-tsikot!

    Mu-x for urban cruising, light duty climbing and family hauling. Totl entertainment for backriders and full safety features found only in much more expensive vehicles. If your intention is as an Innova or Sportivo upgrade/replacement, here's the better alternative.

    Trailblazer 4x2 for all of the above and more serious hauling and climbing duties due to its more massive engine though in M/T only. Add another 100k for a/t but with even bigger engine. But that's way more than your budget allows. If you prefer it fast and loud, the TBs the way to go

    With the worsening traffic in beautiful metro manila...mux. tb is nice but when you drive 99% in manila...kahit 140kph sa edsa doable naman with the mux. Dont drive like me. Lol

    Climbing and hauling? parang ang hirap umakyat ng mga turbo diesel. O baka driver fault. Lol

    Mu-x
    Fc is the best in its class 35 liters hanggang Bicol
    Features like push start hindi mo na kailangan ipasko ang susi
    TCS and ECS
    4wd is a winner if they put the 3.0 engine
    quieter than the trailblazer

    Trailblazer
    bigger engine

    paper specs don't prove everything

    to drive is to believe
    test drive the two vehicles first

    35L for Manila to Naga is only 11 km/L. I've used far less with my Ranger - 28L from Manila to Naga (13.7 km/L, 385 km).

    More impressive if Manila to Legaspi (13.7 km/L, 480 km trip). Matnog is another 100 km - I think it's impossible to do 16.5 km/L especially with the road condition in Quezon right now.

    kung sa looks mas gusto ko itsura ng front ng MU-X, yung side naman at rear halos identical na sila eh. Saka parang mas reliable yung mga makina ng Isuzu compared sa chevy (guess ko lang), pero yung build quality as per Isuzu thread parang medyo bagsak, ewan ko lang kung dahil sa 1st batch ng release ng unit kaya ganun.

    kung engine naman ang paguusapan, okay na yang MU-X, sobrang lakas na naman nung 200HP, ang dami ngang nagkalat sa kalsada na D4D engine (102 HP) okay na ang ganung power yan pa bang 134 HP (MU-X)

    Ok, so sobra palang 100 kph ang average na takbo nila kaya conservative pa yung 35 liters (13.5km/l)
    Sa ganyang bilis, malamang kinuha lang nila ng under 5 hours yung Makati to Lepaspi.

    3 different categories yang pinipili mo crosswind. Pinakamahal pajero down to pinakasulit na mux. Matipid ang isuzu engines. Alam ko ang 4jk1tc can hot 16kpl on long drives. My 4jj1 tc can only get around 15kpl both auto

    Crosswind, for me sulit siya. Mas refined and mas malakas ang engine niya versus the existing 3.0 4jj1 tc of the dmax.

    may trooper din kami, noong unang labas ang trooper bilib ako sa power niya kaso first gen forttuner 2.7 gas eh talo na siya. magiingay pa yung engine ng trooper namin bago humataw sa tbz, monty hindi na ganun kaingay.

    kung isuzu pipiliin mo antay ka lang kasi medyo may pagka kups pa yung mga salesman.
    tbz nag normalize na.

    pajero- waste of money(old design- classic na ang dating) bumili ka na lang ng mustang or explorer.

    Or a 2 or 3 yr old Explorer or CX9 would also be a good alternative, you can see several of these selling at a good price.

    Back to topic, both Mu-X and TBZ are good midsize SUVs, it's matter of preference na lang.

    Isipin mo na lng bossing kung biglang lumabas sa pinas yung 3.0 ni Isuzu 1-2 years from now, di ka ba manghihinayang na sana si TB na lng binili mo? Pasing tabi sa mga MU-x owners kaso parang na shortchange tayo ng Isuzu, knowing that di linagay kay MU-x yung mas poweful engine na available sa ibang bansa. One may counter na panget diesel natin, mas reliable ang current specs etc., but 134 vs 200 hp with almost the same price (1.7M), ang laking difference panu

    Not everyone wants power anyway.

    Majority of the people I know who own pickup-based SUVs don't even know how many horsepower their car makes.

    I'm sure you know how well the 102 hp 2.5 Fortuner sold. Even just that much power is adequate for many, many people.
