Just use the premium diesels just to be sure. Those regular diesels of the Big 3 killed the SCV of my montero sport 2 months ago

ako kakapalit ko lang ng SCV at EGR...

Mitsubishi's SCV is really defective, used V-power diesel (now called Nitro) up to 15,000 kms and SCV still got damaged.

Big 3 Gas stations are only euro 2 compliant .And your crdi's where designed for euro4 cleaner fuel...

On way to the office I saw a new black TrialB collided with a toyota van beside Wash sycip park in Makati (legazpi village) I hope no one here owns that TrailB.

Ingat guys!

[numbah5]

hows handling sir? smooth parin ba?

Very smooth and stable at those speeds.

I'll bringing mine for check up Tom. When I called sa dealer, they wanted to check it out ASAP daw, no mention of sa 1k check up.

That's because the 1st PMS should be at 5k kms pa

Malamang, jeepney ang sinakyan ng nag-comment sau. Or he's an owner of a Monty, ayaw nya lang amini na nagmukhang lemon ang Monty if compared sa Trail. My personal experience: Pinakamatagtag is Montero, then Fortuner. Bukod sa matagtag, cramped pa ang interior ng both units.

Even the owners of the Monteros and Fortuners told me that okay ang ride ng TB.

I only used 32 PSI on all tires and I got the best soft ride on TrailB, I did not notice any FC difference between 35 & 32 PSI when I tried the 2 tire pressures.

[migz71]

mine is 32 psi also. I have driven a mitsu strada 2010 model before for almost 6 months.. dba halos parehas lang sila body ng montero..para sakin
mas malambot ang trailblazer. pati sterring wheel mas magaan.

father ko nagcomment sir, siguro nasanay lang siya sa ride ng land cruiser nya. siyempre sinabi ko di naman sila same ng class. never pa kasi ako nakasakay sa montero kaya walang idea, sa fortuner naman, yun samin kasi nakabulletproof kaya namodify na siguro yun suspension kaya malambot ride nya.

Bro, you are right! You can always modify them as you please, di ba? What matters most is that you're happy with what you have. Kahit pa hamak na owner-type jeep ang gamit mo, as long as you are happy and satisfied using it, that's what important.

We here in the forum are just giving our personal experiences. My officemate's 2010 Sta Fe already has already some unusual noise sa transmission. Ako kasi, before I picked the Trail, I compared Sta Fe, Sorento, Fortuner, Montero, Forester, Everest and Trailblazer. But before the Trail went into market, I prefer the Forester simply because of the power. It is the most powerful SUV among the 6 mentioned SUVs (excluding TB). But it is not a full 7-seater SUV. Malaki pa ang Revo VX200 ko with a comfortable seating capacity of 8 (modified 3rd row, front facing). I didnt mentioned the new Explorer na gustong gusto ko sana kaya lang pricey and lumalamon ng gasolina. Yun sana ang kukunin ko. When the review of the new Eco-boost Explorer went out, naku, inayawan ko na. Kasing takaw ng Expedition. It consumes between 4-5 km per liter. Why? Te problem is that it is not built sa Philippines na matraffic. Kahit na 2.0 lang ang makina nya and has a power of 240 hp, the built is heavy kya the 2.0 variant engine will work overtime.

I'm looking for a genuine 7-seater! Ford Everest has so much space, talagang maluwag. BUT, I don't like to porma (sorry po sa Everest owners), parang karo same as Altera. The 4 mentioned SUVs are maporma lalo na ung 2013 Sta Fe.

Power-wise, malakas ang Sta Fe * 193ps but mahina ang torque! 350 Nm lang yata. Kaya ka nga bibili ng 4x4 so that you can use it off-road, di ba? You won't use the 4x4 para karerahin ang Mustang di ba?

Anyway, I end up choosing TB and I am happy and satisfied with my choice.

I'll put them in order with the 1st one having the worst ride and with the last one having the best ride. Fortuner, Montero Sport, Trailblazer. I had a Fortuner before (Gen 1.0), the ride was rock hard, it's like you're always driving on a road made of gravel. The Montero Sport (which I currently have besides the TrailB) improved on the ride of the Fortuner, but the ride is still on the stiff end. But it is comfortable on the 1st and 2nd row. 3rd row you'll feel a bit nauseous after a long trip. With the Trailblazer, while its ride is not as soft as that of its U.S. built cousins, still it is more comfortable than the Japanese PPVs. Ride is almost on the level of our Gen 2 Expedition. Not that matagtag, not that soft.

If you got a comment that the ride is matagtag, check your tire pressure. Casa might had overinflated it. Recommended pressure is 35 psi on all tires

Anyone picked up the current issue of C! magazine?
Rating for the Trailblazer TBZ is 9.7 out of 10. Nice! It's the highest among the 3 midsized suvs

Top of the line ng Santa Fe & Sorento has a little edged (0.1)over, but Im happy that the rating is high for TrailB. Tomorrow I'm planning for the Antipolo,Teresa, Pililla run (God permitting).

IMHO, no comparison between Santa Fe and Sorento simply because these two aren't ruggedly built. The suspension of these SUVs are okay, but will you use them off-road? I doubt. Will these two SUVs able to tackle the Pinatubo trek? Baka these 2 will be rated 1/10 kapag off-road na.

Sasayad ang Sta Fe and Sorento when used off-road. Their centers of gravity are much lower than T, M and F. That is why these 2 aren't videod off-road. Hehehe

[RTS]

We are talking of C! ratings, you may have some merits in your comment but people of the C! has their own criteria in rating so let be it.

[numbah5]

Can't really compare the Trailblazer with the Santa Fe and the Sorento. The 2 Korean SUVs are soft roaders while the Trailblazer is a genuine off-roader like the Fortuner, Everest, Alterra, and Montero Sport as they are classified as PPVs

[numbah5]

Sir EQ, did you already get your TBZ? Or when daw?

Back read on the previous pages please. The answer is there. Basta he has no problems with the dealer anymore.
