Isuzu Dmax Owners [ARCHIVED]

[jarhead]

mga friends who are dmax owners, me tanong yung cousin ko, sana matulungan natin siya magdecide. 4x2 LS ang tinitingnan niya sa dealer.

in a nutshell, considering the model age of dmax and the current competition, would you still buy the Dmax if u were to buy a new pickup at this time?

why and why not?

yup i would... tatanda your cousin mo if he keps on waiting anong maganda na ride bilhin kc every year lalabas ng new models or upgrades.... if he is planning to buy a ride.. he should decide now and not wait kung meron ba lalabas na new or mas maganda.... at this time bibili ako sa dmax kc iv known that this units are testes already and had been running sa thailand for qiute sometime already.... kahit hinid pa CRDi ang enigne niya. it peeforms well and can match up sa CRDi engines ng iba...

srbogoy, ganda ng mods mo ah... yup dapat nga naka black ang mesh grill mo and tanggalin ang cover ng headlight and tail light.... and palit ka ng 20" na rims....

^+1 ako. hehe. Besides, wala pang definite release date ang crdi dmax dito sa atin.

The Dmax is a well balanced pickup (safety, ride, driveability, engine power, etc.). A rig having a more powerful engine doesn't mean that it is better. Besides, a non-crdi engine has its pros and cons (remember what happened to the JX1 trooper and the current d4d hi-luxes). I'm better off with a non-crdi engine which is more reliable, than a more powerful one which may die on me anytime.

However, I'm not saying that the Dmax is the ultimate pick-up. Consider the Strada and the Ranger. They have their advantages being new in the segment. But I still won't trade the reliability of Isuzu Engines.

If I were you choose among the three: Dmax, Ranger, Strada. I don't recommend the Hi-Lux being the stiffest of them all (personal experience). We've also had a not so good experience with the previous gen ranger having defective tranny at 5tkms. As for the Strada, medyo maliit ang bed..but if given the chance, I might choose it over my Dmax...

ako. D-Max pa din. ewan ko, given the right attention on any rig, i'd say, whatever you pick basta ina-alagaan, ok sya. hehehe.

Guys question lang.. may nakapagtangal na ba sa inyo ng headunit ng dmax? pano tanggalin ito?

thanks

dun pa rin ako sa old-fashioned, reliable isuzu dmax. no match yang strada na yan. gwapo lang pero no match yan sa under chassis ng DMAX.

my thread ba tayo dito sa tsikot ng BACOLOD FUNRUN? parang ang sarap sumama ah..

me three! dmax rin pipiliin ko hehehe

as my old college professor said, always buy a new PC/software a month or two after its official release.

which makes sense. This to allow time for the manufacturers to sort out bugs that were not seen or did not come out in beta, that will come out during its production. imo, mahirap talaga yun bibili agad ng bago.

atleast by the time you buy the new software, meron ng mga patches to solve those bugs that have come out.

and I think it applies to almost any technological thing we plan to buy ... like the crdi equip'd pickups. I'll probably upgrade to a crdi on the next iteration of the dmax. or kung manalo ako sa lotto, maybe after a year from the initial release of the strada or ranger hehehe

next bili ko siguro ng ISUZU pick up is after totally useless na ung DMAX ko. mas masarap kasi gmitin ung mga lumang sasakyan na very reliable kaysa sa mga bago..
