mabuti pa yung local government dito sa munisipyo namin, may taste pumili ng gagawin patrol vehicle, we have here units of Isuzu D-Max as tourist patrol vehicle, wayback 2006 they got a fleet of Hi-Lux patrol vehicles dito kaso mukhang di ata nagustuhan ayun pagpasok ng 2010 D-max na pinagkukuha nila. though tumatakbo pa naman yung mga Hi-Lux yun nga lang puro gasgas na at faded na ang paint.

ayan yung posted price nila. no wonder nanalo sa bidding ang Foton. ang layo kasi ng price difference.

Nakalimutan ata i-factor ung maintenace at durability, pero kung magbibigay ang Foton ng 10 year warranty on parts and labor panalo na din.

Same feedback I get from elsewhere. The engines aren't a big problem, but the body integrity is. (At least for the Blizzard).

At least they're Blizzards. Simple trucks, easy to fix, easy to understand.

With the PCSO, we get stuck with the Foton View Ambulance, which has a lot of interior trim that degrades and discolors over time.

I guess the only guys who also seem to buy their products are the government as well. Hardly see any private Foton pickups. Yung trucks maybe but once private companies have not-so-good experience, they'll switch back to the usual Mitsu-Isuzu trucks.

Mas naaasar ako sa mga luxury cars na red plate. Saw an alphard with red plate. Ano meron sa alphard na wala sa hiace.Ottoman seats? Meron din mga v6 camry. WTF.

yup they know selling China vehicles to the private sector would be tough so they went to the govt

alam naman natin mahirap ka-deal ang gobyerno but those guys went ahead and became very successful

sigurado katakot-takot na lobbying yan

Pag-bidding kasi out na agad ang bias. As long as kumpleto ang requirements and lowest bid panalo. I'm still hoping na kasama sa budget ang parts and maintenance even for a few years para masulit naman.
