No word yet from Isuzu Philippines as to when's the exact date the new D-max RT-50 arrives in Philippines, however, it's DEFINITELY heading to the 2013 Dakar Rally January next year ;)
Isuzu to join Dakar with the all-new D-Max - Racing News by AutoIndustriya.com
As the article reads - "The Isuzu Motorsports International Off-Road Race Team, based in Australia, enjoyed success at the 2009 Dakar event with a previous-generation D-Max, finishing as the first diesel-powered pick-up in the field."
Rally-prepped D-max 3.0 iTEQ VGS Turbo rated at 260 hp with 630 Nm of torque starting at 2000 rpm.
Cheers!
sana yung d max na twin turbo ilabas din dito...

DAMN! That's more horses than a modern 3.0V6 gasoline engine and more torque than a modern 3.0V6 diesel engine!Is the stock D-Max in the video the one with the 180hp/380Nm 4JJ1-TCX engine? That's still very good performance considering that everything is stock and it was thrown around and jumping up and down in a rally track.
Now I wonder... stock 180hp engine + chip + K&N intake + big front mount intercooler upgrade + exhaust upgrade = ???![]()
as Isuzu Philippines said on earlier reports regarding the release of new model, manufacturing/assembling LHD units in Thailand plant would depend on demand... but based from this picture, it's an LHD unit... if this particular unit came from Thailand plant, then we will be seeing the all-new model coming sooner than what we are expecting, like a year later or more... but not crossing my fingers, baka mangalay ka kakahintay... hahaha
O.T.: we are hoping for the new Alterra to come out since the new Chevy Trailblazer is out... my parents are hunting for a new diesel SUV...
2013 Alterra is already out. Text me for details. 0917-9726443. As for the new Dmax There is still no advice from the plant when it will come out. Fingers crossed, hopefully this year.
not really digging the whole front. Hindi cohesive and its out of character sa nakasanayan kong image ng Isuzu sa pinas.
but this will sell very well, iba ang tatak Isuzu sa mga pinoy.
about the photos above , mejo bagay yung lowered look, may pagka-kotse kasi ang itsura nito.
I just saw the advertisement of isuzu on motoring today. It says that they will be having an event at MOA this coming november 8. There is a new dmax called special edition. Somehow similar to the picture in this thread.
parang hindi sir. 2012 Auto Focus motorshow happening this weekend - Auto News
The update prolly is it won't be offered in Philippines and that there's no way it will make it there. Isuzu Phils is the laziest company I have ever seen.... Sorry for such remark, but it's true. The new Alterra is released yet again but it's still the same banana.
I've seen the RT-50 Dmax, now on sale here in Australia, heaps and heaps. But honestly, I still prefer the looks and simplicity of the previous one, the one with the bonnet scoop.
sana magbenta ng d max na bago dito pinas. watching that video surely its a nice pick up
Wag ng umasa dahil di na kelangan magdala ng mga bagong modelo ang isuzu phil dito andiyan naman ang crosswind na ipinagmamalaki nila.![]()
