Hi sir, just go for the car (in this case, a pickup) where your heart belongs to more than anything else....

This is what i always do in buying things, more than the cerebral reasoning - go for what you really like then improve or modify the things where you want your car to enhance at according to your likeness.... It is much easier when you do it with your heart ;)

I concur a million times sir.hehehe..mahirap ung nabili mo na tapos hindi naman pala un ang gusto mo. Magsisisi ka lng. Just a tip, read a lot of forums, reviews and comments regarding ur chosen pickup and decide from there. Also dont rely on spec sheets that boasts amazing numbers,hehe also put on ur checklist the availability of parts, cost of maintenance, etc. Sometimes when owning a vehicle, just looking everywhere for that part of ur pickup and ends up to nothing, will surely give u a lot of headaches and will tell urself, sana un na lng ung binili kong pickup.hehe ang daming piyesa. Hehe

Pila pa din ba sir sa ranger 3.2 L sa ford? Parang wala pko nakikita sa mga daan natin ng model na un.

2 pa dito sa cebu. Promise nila pang 3 akin... Hahah they said by january pa daw ma available ung 3.2. Super talaga walang production ung ford.. Hehe

Well, what i would really want to get if not the pickup would be the fj or the subaru forester turbo. Test driven the forester lastweek, id prefer droving the forester on a daily basis rather than my moms lc200.. Super tulin din forester ah for a 2.0.

The Isuzu D-max 2.5 TD Intercooler (single VGS Turbo, rated at 136 hp with 320 Nm from 1400-2400 rpm) is the 2013 Borneo Safari Pickup of the Year.... In summary, Borneo straddles the east of Malaysia, Brunei, and parts of Indonesia's Kalimantan region.

See how amongst other vehicles that participated in this grueling several days of hardcore off-roading, only the two (2) bone-stock engine yet raised-up D-max were the only ones that came out unscathed and worry-free ;)

Isuzu to start domestic assembly of new D-Max | The Manila Times Online

ISUZU Phils. Corp. (IPC) last week announced it would start manufacturing the latest D-Max in its plant at the Laguna Technopark in Biñan, where the previous D-Max model was also built.
Joseph Bautista, IPC assistant division head for sales, said that the company has started the multi-line system for vehicle assembly since December 4 in preparation for the new D-Max. According to him, the multi-line system is a P100-million investment for IPC and will not only cater to the new pickup model but also for the assembly of other vehicles.
Bautista said that with the recent upgrade, IPC would be able to produce 4,000 units to 5,000 units of the new D-Max annually, depending on market demand. The IPC executive noted that the decade-old version of the previous D-Max was also a completely knock-down unit like the Isuzu Crosswind and Alterra.
All three models are built at Isuzu’s local plant.
Bautista added that IPC is optimistic it can secure 20 percent to 25 percent of the local pickup segment in 2014, the first full year that the D-Max will be sold.
“We started late this year as we launched the new D-Max during the last quarter. There was also a slowdown in sales, which can be related to Typhoon Yolanda,” Bautista said.

Mga Ka-Dmax kaya pala limpak-limpak panalo ng all-new D-max(Australia-, Europe-, UK-, Thai- and other some more countries) sa mga offraod pickup shootouts sa kabila ng heto pinaka mababa ang power ratings, bukod sa Hilux 3.0 D-4D.

Heto explanation ng isang taga-Australia bakit mababa ang published power and torque ng Isuzu compared sa iba ;)

Bryan
"The torque quoted for this engine may look a little sad compared to the competion, Although isuzu dyno these engines the same way as there truck range. This means the engine is put on the dyno with all auxillery drive belts and accessories being driven under load. So to quote a 130kw 380nm figure this is what is left at the fly wheel unlike other manufactures who quote unloaded figures."

Cheers!

I actually think that is how Isuzu does it. Other manufacturers except maybe Toyota also dyno the engine alone. But Isuzu, and again maybe Toyota, dyno the finished truck.
