For me, any sales agent who gives you an open ended answer like "might" or "maybe" in relation to the product he is trying to sell you is irresponsible. Especially in this case that your inquiry is in regard to warranty, an important after sales matter.

It means that he is not well versed with the product and the policies of the company that he represents.

wala naman kasing pakialam ang mga sales agent with regards sa warranty. ang importante sa kanila is makabenta ng car (commission hehehe

). pagnabentahan ka na, talu-talo na kayo..

^^ I agree. Will have to check out the other dealer here then. Maybe the salesman there is more responsible. hehe.

Just saw another new dmax yesterday. I dont know if its the 3.0 or 2.5 version but it seems a bit low ah.

This is my DIY reverse light. The lamp is HELLA COMET 550 using H3 bulb. The lamp automatically lights up during reversing but only during when the parking light is switched ON. other words, hindi i-ilaw while reversing when the parking light is switched OFF.

I used 2 relays to do this. also naka-ready ang wiring ko so puede manual switching mode so puede ko pailawin kahit hindi ako umaatras. ang problem lang is nanghihinayang akong butasan ung sa engine bay to route the wire papuntang dashboard..

I like your wiring system, smart. Yung wiring na papuntang dashboard, di ba meron naman tayong default na wiring hole going to the engine bay with rubber seal beside the steering column?

I think nakita ko yung gusto ni x_jason_x kagabi sa isang movie; the setting was in Europe and an SUV (Land Rover ata yun) was backing up then yung back-up lamp nya na sobrang lakas was inside the taillight housing, parang projector type. Ganda nga tignan.

mas malaki pala ang chassis ng dmax kaysa sa hilux. meaning more robust ang design ng dmax.

top speed lang kasi ang basihan ng discussions sa ibang thread. not knowing that pick ups are not meant for racing or top speed but for its reliability and robustness on which other pick ups are lacking..

yup tama ka 2dmax.. kung makita mo ang cross member ng dmax.. malaki and makapal din dats why its been used by the colorado dito sa US... kung makita noy lang ang colorado d2,, ang laki.. mas malaki pa sa dmax natin and heavier pa....

meron nga ako nabasa sa isang preview about the chassis ng hilux kc its also been used sa fortuner... and the prob was that the chassis twisted kc the fortuner was used for off road talaga... dontknow lang kung wer but it was used literally for off road, maybe construction or wat ang gamit....

sa isuzu manila dealership, yun 80k pms ko cost 6500 w/o air filter change.

with all the crdi units i wonder how much mga PMS nila.

back in 2004 when we were comparing pickups may talk na about hilux crdi, but we went ahead with the dmax. we believe its a good balance of old reliable engine (at user servicable instructions ay nasa manual pa) with a bit of new tech sa ECU and complete safety devices.

true enough the toyota 2.5 crdi had issues in the beginning. and the cost of a dmax 4x2 LS is equal to a low riding 2.5 hilux w/o ABS and intercooler.

Keeper talaga 2004 dmax, pang 5 yrs pa.

though may makita na usok pag idling, hindi ko maalis.
