i have tried the dmax and i can say na di naman masama ang ride nito, with it's engine malakas talaga pala especially in low-mid end, what its lacking is the top end, i guess the damx is not built for speed but pull and power. just my like my isuzu elf, though i own a strada 3.2 na super fast 180kph piece of cake,but when it comes to trucks i never like mitsubishi, iba talaga ang performance ng isuzu. so if you look a pick up that can haul like there's no other, no doubt i'll take the dmax.
