Thanks sir, that gave me some confidence kasi di pa ako nakakapag-drive ng diesel paakyat ng Baguio. And alam ko nga din basta diesel di ka ibibitin sa akyatan, wag lang siguro overloaded!

Kasi ayoko na dalhin yung corrola ko medyo binitin ako dati nung last visit namin doon and medyo malakas sa gas. Yun lang rin ang hanga ko sa crosswind sobrang tipid sa diesel, ang pinaka-highest ko na nakuha is 17 km/l!

5 sir, kami ni misis,2 bata and yaya. And of course yung mga gamit. Kaya yan sa akyatan kaso tingin ko iba ang diskarte kesa sa sedan kaya medyo iba ang experience ko. Actually nung nasa hotel na kami may nakausap ako crosswind ang dala tuwang tuwa ganda daw ng hatak nung unit niya.

Check that the hinges are still in shape, like Syuryuken says... Open the door and see if it sags in the open position.

Sa Crosswind namin, medyo bumababa na ng kaunti (110,000 kms, 3 years)... sa Hilander, walang wala na sa alignment (140,000 kms, 8 years).

Medyo nainis ako sa crosswind ko nun pero ang maganda sobrang tipid naman ng konsumo ng krudo

Yung fulltank ata back and forth kami madami pang tira..And btw at 95K mileage hanggang ngayon very very reliable parin.

Ganyan po talaga ang diesel ride.

Assuming not much traffic going up, the xto,xt, xti, xl (dunno about the xuv's though w/ its larger tires) can go up Baguio at 50-60kph at 3rd gear consistently. Medyo maingay lang talga since you'll be revving the engine to 3000rpm. If you're slowed down by trucks travelling at 20-25kph, the technique is to down shift to 2nd gear, rev past 3000 rpm (around 3500-4000 rpm) to accelerate quickly up to 40-45 kph to pass those trucks. At kung mabibitin ka, the trick is to "pump" the gas pedal - let go of the pedal momentarily then press it again, and you'll get an extra boost going up. The only vehicles that could beat me when I going up baguio were sedans who had one or two passengers and the 3.0L diesel engined Toyota hilux, and the 2.9L intercooler turbo carnival and starex.

agree ako kay rsnald.

**XTO** · June 4th, 2007 05:07 PM

yep, 2nd gear at past 3000 rpm during uphill overtaking before going to 3rd. meron pa after.

**Syuryuken** · June 4th, 2007 06:02 PM

Diskarte lang talaga yan. First time na nasubukan kong mabitin yung 2nd gear*2000 rpm tapos change gear sa 3rd may tatlong kaban na bigas ang dala ko tapos tatlong pasahero so ginawa ko balik sa 2nd gear pinalagpas ko muna ng 3000 rpm then 3rd gear ayos nahabol ko pa yung mga nauna sa aking apat na sasakyan pero iniwan ako ng field master
