All New Isuzu MU-X // Alterra Next Generation

[AceGab]

forum like helped a lot to decide what vehicle would i buy.

i have three options on what to buy: fortuner, mu-x and trailblazer. fortuner was the choice between me and my wife. but later on, based from MY assessment on specs and cost, trailblazer is my choice. but my wife prefers the mu-x. guys could enlighten me more on why i have to choose mu-x or trailblazer.

-----------------

We're in the same situation kaya lang TB sa wife ko and MU-X sa kin.
Comparing the MU-X 4x2 A/T (1358K) against TB 4x2 L A/T (2015) (1398K)
1) Present availability of the unit under Bank PO= MU-X waiting / TB anytime
siguro until april na lang ang waiting ng MU-X.
2) Freebies= MU-X basic only
TB - LTO,CMortage, Insurance + basic + cash discount 79K (Bank PO)
3) Interior Panalo ang MX-U- may LCD camera, sensor etc , back liban sa back compartment di pantay if flattened ang 3rd row but Isuzu is planning to have thin box para mapantay as optional.
4) wheel MU-X 17" / TB 16"
5) 3rd row more leg room - MU-X
6) For me kasi mas maporma ang TB kahit walang roof rack

Now, my questions are -
1) prices of spare parts
2) resale value
3) Sa tingin nyo ba ang MU-X ay mausok din tulad ng ibang isuzu cars pag tumagal na ng 3 years or so kahit may proper maintenance?
Pag di naman malaki ang difference sa tanong ko eh mag TB na lang ako.

Go for the fortuner.
Un MU X at TB magkamukha talaga except for the engine na mas nakakalamang ang TB while un mga toys sa luob lamang si MUX.
Ganda ng spiel ng ahente ng isuzu "sir kuha na kayo nitong mux parang naka Trailblazer kayo!"......hahaha....😆😃😂

Engine panalo TB but interior and other features panalo Mu-x. I wanted the additional comforts than the power of the engine - passive remote, power folding mirrors, power driver seat, 10-inch Rear Monitor, auto climate control, Navigation, audio controls on steering whell, ESC, Traction Control, Rear Camera, Leather seats. Marami walla pa rin sa LTX and LTZ ng TB. Yung engine naman nila parehong Isuzu made. Depende na lang talaga kung alin ang mas gusto mo, yung looks ng TB or Mu-x and the features you get for the price.

[botsog]

actually i prefer mu-x but also i also like tb. kaso walang maibigay na detalye mga isuzu agents kung mabibigyan ako ng variant na preferred ko bago ako umuwi by month-end. so i chose tb lt at 4x2 variant. bale upgraded siya with the following add-ons: DVD/ GPS Package (8" Touch Screen Monitor) with with Reverse Camera, Headrest Monitor, 20" mags, Leather Seatcover, Solargard tint, Carpet Matting, Chevey Keychain, Early Warning Device, Umbrella, Car Cover, Rustproofing plus Comprehensive Insurance with Acts of Nature, Chattel Mortgage, 3 Years LTO Registration for 110k down payment... yan lang eh

Sir, sounds to me like you need to check your tire pressure. 'Cause when I got mine last week, I asked the service advisor if the tire pressures are correct as to the manufacturer recommended door sticker, and he said yes. I drove on highways and city street alike for days, I didn't really notice any stiffness in ride except for cabin rattle sounds coming mostly from the back seats. Just yesterday, I checked the tire pressures myself, and true enough all of them were 40psi! What the heck? So I deflated it down to 29. And all rattle sounds disappeared. You might wanna try it.

Yes! I changed the tire pressure and there was a big difference indeed. THanks for the info guys!

I had the same problem sir, but I decided to buy the MU-X instead.

Although the Fortuner is a solid good overall buy a new overhaul model is coming in Q4, so I suggest you wait for that model instead of buying now. I on the other hand could not wait. The trailblazer is likewise a good brand and is in fact my fiance's preferred SUV, however I was told that the resale-ability of Chevrolet cars isn't as good as Isuzu or Toyota.

What got me to buy the MU-X is that it is a new model that has been tested in Thailand and Australia with good reviews, good resale-ability, and for more or less the same price against the other brands offers more features.

Try mu sir test drive ang mga cars, the most comfortable for me is the Fortuner but with very little difference.

Really parehas sila ng engine ang Mux at TB na gawa ng Isuzu?

resale ability? Talaga yun agad ang iniisip mo. Ibenta ka agad....business mo ba buy and sell?

[2gbuser]

Yes. See below:

The Isuzu and Chevrolet partnership has been around for a while, given that General Motors used to own a stake in Isuzu. As a result, Chevrolet (under GM) and Isuzu share the platforms, parts and components used for the D-Max, Colorado, Trailblazer and the recently revealed MU-X..

Sir, may I know yung breakdown nung 6k+? Yung sakin kasi nung 1500km pms, inabot ng 8k+, sa Isuzu san pablo (Luzon). Parang ang laki naman ng difference natin. Nadaya ata ako ah...
I'll post the breakdown of mine mamaya pag-uwi ko sa bahay.

Also for other LS-A 4x2 owners, magkano inabot yung 5000km pms niyo? TIA.

Saan? haven't read na parehas sila ng engine.
Isuzu is 4jji tc at 3.0 engine displacement. While ang binebenta sa phils ay 2.5 engine displacement with 136hp and 380nm tirque.
TB is 2.8 engine displacement with 200hp and 500nm torque.
Parehas sila ng platform but not the engine. Basa basa pag may time at huwag lang mag aattached.😊

Thanks sir!
Post ko yung breakdown nung 1500km pms ko tomorrow.

Yung sa 5000km pks naman, sa march14 ko pa ipapagawa. I-post ko din agad.

[Wh1stl3r]

gear oil agad? ayus ah.

Stealership talaga. Baka singer oil ang gamit, kaya every 5Tkm palit hehe. Kahit yung brake cleaner isang lata sinisingil. Every 5Tkm din ang brake service?

[LancerA174A]

Sabi ko Isuzu made engine not the specs boy.

Isuzu did not design/made Chevy's smaller Duramax engines. If I'm not mistaken VM Motori gumawa. Plus Isuzu would have done the same thing sa mu-X kung sila gumawa sa Trailblazer, max power sa displacement pero di nila ginawa.

Taga na po yung 6K dahil sa add ons na normally di pa kasama sa 1.5K kms PMS (Gear oil and break cleaner).
Panu pa kaya yung kay Sir makelovenotwar na umabot ng 8K ! ! !

[machine.pistol]

I have a TB and its engine is not Isuzu whether designed or manufactured.
