[rsnald]

[rsnald]

The Thai Rung Union Car Company is credited as the actual creator and assembler of the Adventure Master.

This beast reminds me of the Suzuki XL-7. Nothing special, IMO, since it's just a D-Max without the external cargo bed. Big in size, almost US-sized dimensions; a step backward in design and engineering, but that's just me. Pero okay na kaya ang handling nito? Noise suppression, suspension and parts availability? I've heard horror stories about Isuzu engines not being repaired due to high prices and scarcity of parts locally (kinukuha pa daw sa Japan kaya hassle).

Will Isuzu be retaining the Adventure Master name for this model once it is distributed in the Philippines? If so, this may present a possible legal issue, with Mitsubishi already owning the rights to the Adventure name.

if it's cheaper than the everest it will be a good buy. hmmmmnnn I seldom encounter people using Isuzu vehicles who had engine problems and needed engine repairs (karamihan suspension at exhaust problems). anyway it looks great! i hope the interior looks good too! :-)

[av8or5]

hmmm...not bad....maybe time to trade in the trooper..hehehhe

[111prez]

7 seater ba ito?

at least, with the body works done, it does not look like a d-max pickup with a carryboy cover

definitely worth looking

sana ibebenta yan dito :D

[GlennSter]

hmmm...not my type...pasra siyang....caterpillar.herhehrerh...parang pinahabang ewan..pilit.

that's just me.

DMAX parin.

[RedHorse]

parang papalitan na ni rsnald ang crosswind ng master adventure!

[boybi]

parang trailblazer sa sideview.

[OTEP]

Trend talaga sa Thailand yan, the Frontier and Strada have similar evolutions.

117bhp is already at par with the Everest (and light years away from my Pajero).

But the Nissan Xciter (derived from the Frontier) should blow the Isuzu's doors away as it uses the engine of the Nissan Patrol GU.

[niky]

Will Universal Motors import it, though?

I wonder about the Adventure Master, though... is it filling a gap in the Isuzu range that does not exist? I'd like to see how they will market it between the Crosswind XUVi and the base 4x2 Trooper.

I personally would have put my money into developing a new flagship Trooper off the D-Max chassis, and creating a wider range of trim levels for people to choose from.

[OTEP]

The Crosswind was developed from the previous generation Isuzu trucks. I don't think there will be a new Crosswind.

The Adventure Master will be its replacement as it is derived from the newer DMAX platform.

Then there's the Wizard/Mu/Amigo/Rodeo series that they sell in Japan and North America.

that's a problem that am thinking of...

since this isn't being assembled by Isuzu itself, how good would be the workmanship of the said "Thai Rung Union Car Company"?

looks awkward to me. unlike the Everest which was decently executed, the body of the adventure master is just too long and forced fit. seems that almost no chassis modification was done to the d-max (to cut cost maybe?).

[OTEP]

Mukhang may natatagong pakulo si boknoy, ha.

Crosswind on DMAX platform? :D

[boknoyxtrm2001]

OTEP,

Wala ako alam diyan.... I invoked my right to self incrimination hehehehehe

[boknoyxtrm2001]

Wala,

Wala ako alam diyan.... nananahimik ako....

again "On the counsel of my attorney I decline to answer your question" hehehehe

[ssaloon]

coil spring na daw yung rear suspension ng 2wd imbis na leaf spring? so can we expect a better ride?
