I believe such is the case nga kasi i've test driven an MUX 2.5 last August though hindi ko hinataw as i am more in the comfort test drive than hataw type. But what surprise me and brought me to ask the question is that when i was at the case last week to inquire on a 2.5, the response i got from the SA is it won't be available in the near future kasi all coming in will be 3.0 and when i ask why, kasi daw ang mga comment ng users & testers is underpower nga. So it seem's there is truth as IPC is even using the same reason. But i still will wait for the 2.5 to be back otherwise i will have to move to a 2.2 everest kung ayaw na talaga nilang ibalik ang 2.5.
^ personally, one of the reasons i bought the mu-x is the engine. Isuzu sya kaya more or less reliable. Durable pa.
De-marketing. Sales yan eh. If you earn more on incentives and bonuses, you wont tell someone to wait it out for a 2.5 when they are being pushed to peddle un 3.0. Being underpowered specific to 2.5 is entirely subjective since di dapat mag depend sa paper specs lng. Medyo madami daming back-read since we dont think our 2.5 is such. Hehe. Maraming feedback and comparison sa ibang same class SUVs sa previous pages and we all leaned towards 2.5 coming from an experience perspective and not from a comment via paper specs.
O.T. anyone saw the news just now at ABSCBN the ranger pick up swarmed by at least 6 policemen in Makati...
We have a TB and an MUX.
Bought the mux because of its fuel efficiency and Isuzu's reputation for diesel engines.
For power I would say TB hands down. Hatak at tapak konti parang nang gugulat siya. Pero mas matigas steering niya. Mas gusto ko handling ng MUX. Bigger ang TB and wider.
Really depends kung para saan mo gagamitin ang vehicle.
I think si Billy Ang yun, yung nanutok din ng baril sa ayala flyover going to edsa dati. Kinaladkad nya yung pulis. Hinarang kasi sya may nabangga syang taxi at tinakbuhan nya.
BTT i think same lang ang TB and MUX sa size. Mas mataas lang ang hood ng TB. Length/Width basically the same shell. Nagkatalo na lang sa size ng gulong.
Base sa dimensions sa manuals nila mas wider and longer kasi TB. Dunno sa interior space. But I've put a cooler sa dulo ng tb and mux. Mas iba reach ko when grabbing it this concludes sa sinabi ko. I'll post pictures when I get some time to do so.
The TB is longer by 5cm, wider by 4cm, and higher by 7mm. Longer and wider because of the bumpers/fenders, higher because of the tire diameter.
