Madalas EGR or SCV ang culprit..

Cabin Noise Vs. Hilux

Hello,

Is there any owner of the DMAX who also has experience driving the Toyota Hilux for a period of time? Is the cabin noise better on the Hilux?

My wife test drove the new DMAX and she said it is quite noisy. I have to test it myself in a couple of weeks time.

Reason for the question is we are looking between the 2 models:

Hilux = reputation for reliability, spare parts availability
DMAX = Superior fuel consumption, Diesel engine heritage

Really torn between the two. If anyone has experienced driving both, I'd very much appreciate any input.

Thanks!

Tahimik ang Hilux compared sa Dmax but I prefer the power distribution of Dmax compared to Hilux..

ChoyJo- Are you comparing both the 3.0? Or the 2.5 for the Hilux?

Really interested kasi in buying the new Hilux, if it will be released early next year Jan-Mar. But also looking at the new Dmax. Its a 50/50 love affair. Hahahah

Good day every one. Had my 2014 dmax ls at 4x2 for a week now. Initial observation is that engine is quite nosier compared to other diesel engines. Also outside noise is more louder compared to a monty. Suspension ride is nice, it just drive to rough roads and no roads at all. I was able to drive it in Aklan province covering all the towns in that area.
Heading back to Iloilo, after clocking 1k kms in the odo, I encountered another bnew ranger not sure if it 3.2 or 2.2, but the hell he is surely very fast. Iam doing a 120kph to 130kph in straight roads and 70 to 90kph in curved roads but he was still tailing me. So to release the preasure from me i let him pass then i tried to tail him. Boy he is really one hell of a speedy driver. Mas matulin talaga Ranger. Pero kung sa akyatan sa ibajay or nabas area kami mag kasama baka ma iwan ko sya. Was able to have a topspeed pf 150kph pero hindi ko pa rin masyado sinasagad kasi kaka 1kms pa lng si max.
I will surely replace my stock to tires to 265 width, nag skid ang 245 sa curves e.

Both 4x4 Sir.. 3.0 Dmax and 3.0 Hilux.. Yung Comparison po pala sa Loob ng Cabin ha.. Though pagdating sa Labas pareho lang silang maingay.. Pero mas tahimik pa din ng ilang porsiyento ang Hilux..

Thanks. How about the power distribution? You said you like the Dmax's power distribution compared sa Hilux.

*tisoy555: Good to know that you are enjoying your truck.

Engine on the Dmax is really noisier due to the timing gear. It even vibrates more. That's the trade off when you don't use timing belt.

Of course the Ranger will be faster on straight roads coz its specs are higher regardless if it's 2.2L or 3.2L. But when the road starts to climb and become winding, that's where you will feel the power distribution within the gears and the torque coz it's not about top speed anymore. The max torque on the Dmax starts at 1400 rpm and it will be same until 3200 rpm. Anlawak ng torque range niya that's why you can tail him too on uphill roads and hindi ka niya maiiwanan not unless the driver is so reckless.
