+1 po uli sa isuzu sir ralph totoo po na ang design ng toyota iisa pati loob im currently an owner of toyota innova mdl 08

ok naman ang makina siguro yung choking problem, nung 05 model nila yung introduction pa lang ng d4d nila... on my experience ok naman.. smoke free din so far, pero sa trabaho subok na makina ng isuzu... sa kaha panalo talaga ang isuzu, saka nakita ko nung lagyan ng cab ang toyota parang di maganda, yung isuzu proportion naman...

bukas bisita ako sa casa ng isuzu... salamat po uli sir ralph...

[ralphjoson]

sir wala na po seat cover, since leather seats na po siya. un lang po nakuha nmn na free. chka gas. galing sa insurance.

yung superlock po. kahit daw nasa luob yung tao hindi mabubuksan. so kung manakaw man. sa bintana siya dadaan. kaso di ko alam paganahin..

remind ko lang sir ang dmax hindi po nagaauto lock. tapos walang warning light sa panel if may open na door. un lang nmn po. sa fc ok na ok. wala akong masabi. 3.0 pero kasing tipid ng 2.5

sa insurance naman sir magkano siningil sa inyo saka yung sa chattel?

baka nasa manual yung superlock ser? ok yan ah ngayon lang ako nakadinig ng ganyan pag dating sa auto security... maganda yan if ever...

hindi nag auto lock pag na turn on ang makina? walang speed sensing kagaya ng mga toyota... saka door warning light...

fuel consumption... ito yung isang gusto ko talaga sa isuzu yung makina nya talaga...

sir ralph salamat po sa info at sa time nyo...

[ralphjoson]

black leather seats. sa 20k without ung act of nature. hindi ko na po masyado matandaan kung magkano e.
no problem sir. good luck po.

[Benzmizer]

yung superlock po. kahit daw nasa luob yung tao hindi mabubuksan. so kung manakaw man. sa bintana siya dadaan. kaso di ko alam paganahin.

I doubt if the D-Max offers this feature as a standard. Besides, I personally think it's dangerous specially if the occupants run into an accident and would need to get out of the vehicle....

Yes, the D-Max has a keyless entry/alarm (no siren; only it's standard vehicle horns) but no immobilizer.

[bossing47]

no problem sir. good luck po.

thanks... di na siguro ako kukuha ng act of nature insurance... ganun din eh madami din silang alibi hahahaha... ang taas pa singil nila...

me kapitbahay ako naka act of God insurance nila hanggang ngayon nasa casa pa unit nila...

yung unit namin after a week lang ng ondoy tumatakbo na hehehehe... sa labas ko pinagawa...

sir ano po kaya yung nakalagay sa manual na superlock? have you tried na po ba ung "superlock"?

[Benzmizer]

My mistake, saw it at page 38-39 of the owner's manual. I believe this is to provide double security for the vehicle. When activated, one would not only have to press the transmitter's "unlock" button but would also have to unlock using the key cylinder.... kinda odd really since the purpose of the keyless entry system is to provide CONVENIENCE to the driver/passengers. This would only result to a longer (add) process of entry. Oh well......



This photo shows Heart Evangelista's D-Max pulling her boat. Don't ask me how I know.... ... and it's not because I often read the "YES" magazine..... minsan lang.

Sir benzmizer showbiz na showbiz hehehehehehehehehe

[nels76]

Anak ng teteng. Kung alam ko lang eh di sana hinabol ko at nag pa autograph at baka sakaling nakasakay sya.

That DMAx was a 4WD and I noticed while we were trailing it na may nakalagay pa sa BED nya na mukhang mabigat. Pansinin niyo ung rear ni Dmax at medyo nakababa na. Sa bigat siguro ng dala nya other than the Mammoth.

Hmmm freebies?..... yun sa akin bago ko kuhanin yun unit...ipinaulit ko yun undercoat at sinigurado ko na makapal at 3M yun inilagay nila w/c is very important. Binigyan din nila ko ng 3 diff. types of California Scents air freshener, sabi ko kc allergic at nahihilo ko sa amoy ng bagong unit. Request ka na rin ka na rin ng chamois at microfiber cloth.....

my 2003 4X2 LS is getting old. am thinking of getting the new 4x4. I am very happy with my unit. But what gets me is that isuzu does not send us the latest units/features. In the age of internet, it is easy to see what their offerings are in Thailand (they stopped having an english version on their website) or in Australia (fortunately 'australian' is almost 100% english, mates). The power and torque figures are up (160+, 300+), they have a model where their is a hoodscoop, the key and remote lock is one unified unit, thai models even have a back-up camera. (These features have in offer for more than 6 months, I think) So, in as much as I want to get a new unit, I want to wait. I still think the D-MAX has the best balance of function+space+power+economy,etc.etc. But i think by the time we get those features, the other markets will have newer and better features again.
Come on, Isuzu! Don't they know the internet exists, and we have access to all the information?

sir, curious lang po ako....

dun sa 4x2 na 3.0 I-teq...may manual ba na ganto?

and another is...same height ba sila nung 4x4? or its a non high rise body?

TIA

[Benzmizer]

sir, curious lang po ako....

dun sa 4x2 na 3.0 I-teq...may manual ba na ganto? Yes. The Global D-Max comes in two (2) 3.0L variants: The LX (non airbag and abs) and the LS. Both variants has M/T.

and another is...same height ba sila nung 4x4? or its a non high rise body? Yes, both the 4x2 LX/LS variants are of the same height of the 4x4 LS variant. The 4x4 MT Boondock is the variant that is slightly higher in ground height and wider tires (265/70R16)


Hope this helps.

it's time to sell our revo(10 years na ito samin) para sa pang karga namin ng mga paninda sa tiange, pasado ang sukat ng hilux na palalagyan ng cab(bubong sa likod) malaki, mataas mabaha samin kaya kailangan mataas ground clearance...

kaya naman consider ko rin itong isuzu dahil me family friend kaming owner ng machine shop ito daw isuzu ang pinakamatibay na diesel engine sa lahat ng nabuksan nya...

plus 3.0 liter na yung engine nya sa 4x2 na matic pa
kumpara sa 2.5liter ng hilux na manual lang ang available sa ngayon

pero mas maingay ang diesel ng isuzu kumpara sa toyota..
mas maliit ang gulong which is eventually plus sa gamit ko dahil di naman ako nag off road dahil mas mura ang aftermarket size nya hehehehe
di nga lang makisig...

tanong ko lang yung makina ng isuzu 4x2, eh di turbo intercooler na sya?
bakit parang alang hood scoop? napansin ko lang?

itong dalawang brand na ito talaga ang mahigpit maglaban sa isip ko hehehehe...

hay ang hirap... i'll keep on reading both threads para makapili at makapag desisyon ng tama...

thank you po sa inyo mga sir... and more power to this thread!!

When we were in the market for a new pickup more than a year ago, we were really eyeing on the Hilux 4x4. The stance is just very beautiful. However, we are in the market for the 4x2 category only. To cut the long story short, the Dmax caught our hearts. It's already a full package. Just look at its posture and you will fall in love with it already. 4x2 that already looks like a 4x4

A lot of our friends and mechanics said that Isuzu is known to be the king of diesel, but for me, that wasn't the factor of buying it. It is yet to see if it could really withstand time.

Pertaining to the engine noise, you can never be more right, it is really noisy. Especially when I arrive during the wee hours, I could really hear the clunking of the engine and at times it makes me think that there is a problem with it.

Mine has logged more than 27k kms already and it's still problem free. I really don't check my FC but the last time I gassed up, it has around 600 kms in one full tank. In terms of speed, though it doesn't have the most powerful engine in the market, it's already sufficient for me. I have my fair share of racing with other pickups, from 4x2 to 4x4 and other SUVs, I couldn't outrun them but they couldn't outrun me either, just don't race with those luxury vehicles, you don't stand a chance.hehe

I just hope that they would release the Dmax that has that 160hp engine, for sure it's gonna be a powerful one.
