All New D-max has arrived!

[Benzmizer]

Today is the day when the "Dmax Conquers the Terrain". Thou weather condition seemed erratic, it would be nice if we (guys on board with family and friends included) can drop by and see the All New Dmax up close and personal.

I'll try to go later.

buti na lang at tinigilan ko na noon pa ang pag hihintay sa VGT DMAX.

Seryoso ba to? Pareho parin talaga ang makina na gagamitin, and not some stupid marketing error? The original 4JJ1 isn't even offered anymore in any vehicle in Isuzu Thailand's lineup! After looking at their specs, all I see are the 4JK1-TC and TCX and the 4JJ1-TCX. Big disappointment talaga kung ganun.

[slapz]

So facelift lang? ehehe!

Nope. It is indeed a new D-Max but probably not to be called an "All New" since the engine of the LS Models are still using the 4JJ1-TC --- but rather, "The All New D-Max 4x2 LT"!

yup the engine that produces 108hp and 280Nm of torque. tsk.. ;) hindi ba ito magiging underpowered since the new body is bigger or heavier than the previous one?

[Gerbo]

Can somebody post the specs of the new dmax?

I suppose not. At least not too much. If the Hilux and Fortuner 2.5 non-VNT were adequate enough for the daily grind, this should be as well. Would've been nice if they brought in the 2.5L VGS Turbo though. Maybe they are reserving those for a later date?

but with this specs, can the new dmax compete with the ranger, colorado and even the VNT hilux?

It's in page 2 sir.

Nope. Considering its predecessor (4x2 LT with a 2.5L 4JA1) only having 81hp (?), the shift to a 109hp 4JK1-TC engine would be (more than) adequate.

Heck, I don't think Isuzu is even trying to be competitive at all! They have this excellent product that is supposedly selling so strong in other markets that they were not able to meet demand here. And when they are finally able to, they make it so mediocre that it ends up at the bottom. Not to mention that it's twin from an ended relationship turned out to be an excellent product...

Tanong ko lang. Kasali ba ang Electronic Stability Control (ESC) sa bagong DMAX?

[jraf_zams2]

based sa bagong specification nila.. ABS with EBD.. at sa 4x4 naman LSD pa rin..

[noygelo]

nakalusot si DMax 2012 ko...will try to keep it for good. Balak ko sana pag lumabas ang bagong Dmax na may Variable Geometry Turbo ay i-trade in ko kahit 1 year pa lang...di bale na...same engine lang naman...baka mas matipid pa sa krudo ang lumang Dmax since smaller and lighter sya....epic failure for IPC. But who knows, after 3 years, ilabas nila dito sa "Pinas ang pikamimithi ng die hard Isuzu costumers..

ok na din ako sa lumang dmax atleast may gps at backing camera na hindi mo makikita sa all new..hindi na rin nman gano talo..pero mas gusto ko sana kung mas mataas like ng allnew..pag labas kung sakali after 3 yrs may mas bago na rin yung mga ibang pick up.he he huli pa rin.

Wondering why no comment from the DMax fanboy ...

di po pwede ang backing camera and gps sa "all new dmax" kasi ung audio system nito ay hindi multi media system - walang touch enabled screen... based dun sa pics na pinakita ng isuzu website, ung audio system ng new dmax ay parang ordinayong car stereo lang... cd player lang po... unlike dun sa outgoing model na dmax - dvd player, sd card reader, touch enabled screen, etc... i still go with the old dmax... especially ung latest (2012, 2013)

yon lang yon disappointment natin mga isuzu dmax fan. we did not expect that same old engine will be put in higher models. unlike sa 4x2 LT model na newer engine na. plus the basic accessories unlike the previous LS models. But still old dmax is worth keeping for. let's wait and see for the same model with new engine in how many years time.

Di kaya mangyari tulad ng current facelift na Fortuner? Nung unang labas 102hp 2.5D4D, tapus after a few months tsaka lumabas ang VNT equipped 2.5D4D.
