The spy-photos above should be the much talked-about plus 180 horsepower 2012 Isuzu RT-50

Looks similar to this and it's just so unbelievably beautiful!!!!





C'mon Isuzu Phils. you don't have much any excuses now.... You hafta bring-in here the DMax VGS Turbo now, yes the 2006 model 3.0-litre 4JJ1-TCX. We pretty much have accepted the fact that we Pinoys are always behind what's being offered elsewhere around the globe.... C'mon IPC be a good boy this time!


How pathetic, my DMax 3.0 Ddi-iTEQ with a Racechip Pro doesn't even come close in terms of everything haha!!!!

[metal_rosie1973]

tol wag kana umasa na dalhin sa pinas yan kung dadalhin man yan sa 2012 malamang basura pa rin na non-vgt ikakabit yan o kung vgt man we wount able to get the 180hp VGT kung hindi salpakan na naman yan ng lumang vgt now we know how isuzu phil operates kaya wag na kayong umasa.

[metal_rosie1973]

ang ganda nga ng bagong dmax but the question is dadalhin ba yan di2 sa pinas with an all new vgt engine?? but still there are other options in buying a pick-up in 2012 naman dyan ang all new ford ranger 200hp 470nm and also the chevy colorado 440nm? kayo na bahala mamili.

Hehe, heavy metal axel-rosie, sir naman, matagal na namin alam yang penta-cylinder 2012 Ford Ranger na darating sa Pinas. In fact, i even posted at this very thread an update about it (see post 763).... But no matter how much cerebral reasonings there are in place, my heart still pumps out for Isuzu's.

NO amount of 200 metric-hp, 470 Nm of torque, a must-be very smooth-straight penta that is connected at 72-degree throws to the crank can change my intent in owning this old and excellent 2006 model straight 4-cylinder 4JJ1-TCX 3.0 DMax VGS Turbo once it arrived here in Las Islas Filipinas hehe....

Besides, with my current 3.0 Ddi-iTEQ, having a slight-mod of a Racechip Pro, who would argue against my city-driving fuel-mileage of 13.4 km per litre, aside from the sizeable power gains i got out of it? The DMax LX/LS manual-tranny is the cheapest 3.0-litre CRDi diesel in the local market ---- i got mine in 2008 for only PhP1.015 M compared to the PhP1.40 M Hilux at that time.
....For an average Juan dela Cruz, which i must say, there are a lot of us here if not all, that huge price-difference of almost PhP400k is already more than enough to cover 5 years of casa maintenance.... And then i just spent an extra PhP24,000 for the diesel EFi-tuning kit, Racechip Pro, and i'm getting more than what i've paid for....

You can buy whatever you want since it's your hard-earned money anyway and you deserve what you reckon is the best for you.... In the same manner, i will buy my next Isuzu.... Fair enough mi amigo ;)

Question?
Yan ba sir pinakita ninyo na 2012 dmax ay lalabas din dto sa phils? bali ang looks na ipinakita nyo sa photos ang magkakapareho? kasi i belive na yung 2011 Dmax dto sa phils ngaun ay kamuka din naman ng sa Thailand. check the link...below

Welcome To ISUZU

BUT, with the same OLD engine pa rin(4JJ1 TC).

I think na kung ilalabas sa 2012 sa Thailand ang nasa photos nyo, same din ang looks dto sa ilalabas sa phils but with different engine lang.Possible kaya yun?

[HUMANHORDE]

Kahit etong edition na ito man lang ilabas ng Isuzu Phils!! please!!

[jarhead]

iv seen some pics for the new dmax and holden rodeo... spyshots or concepts
maybe.. but hope it would be the ones to be sold to the public... d

Bakit parang Mazda BT-50 pick-up 'tong all new D-Max na codenamed "Isuzu RT-50"?

Pero maganda siya ha!

Solve na ko dito sa "old body" ng D-Max basta 4JJ1-TCX engine ang nakasalpak. Makina pa lang, ulam na! :2thumbsup:

Ulam talaga bosing Isketi hehe....

The current body like for this DMax VGS 4JJ1-TCX is simple and not slopey. From the inside looking outside the road forward, both frontal and peripheral visions are perfect all-together. Simply plugged in the new 180 ps Isuzu RT-50 engine onto this baby and it's the winner package hehe ---- but this is just me....

[hinDMaxsiado]

Boss Isketi,

;) Heto pa po ulam hehe ;)

Agree-na-agree ako din sir diyan haha!

Replace the current DMax/ Alterra now ASAP by even just (please Isuzu Phils.) bringing here the 4JJ1-TCX engine with the rolling-chassis and nice looking body design of the DMax VGS Turbo like this Thai-version X-series Super Platinum variant....





Make us Pinoys feel winners naman kahit paminsan-minsan lang ....by giving us a taste in a momentous-fashion why Aussies Bruce Garland and Harry Suzuki took the 1st-place amongst all diesel utility pickups during the 2009 Paris-Dakar Rally




Make us feel Isuzu Motors that we Pinoys are not total junkyards of old Isuzu's.... Maraming salamat po!!!!

[trucker111]

siguro hindi pa bumabagsak ang sales nila kaya ayaw dalhin dito yung mga bagong dmax.

[isketi]

Boss Isketi,

;) Heto pa po ulam hehe ;)

Sana pwedeng magpadeliver niyang ulam na yan tapos "If it's late, it's free."

[jarhead]

i think its aout time isuzu change the designs of thier vehicles.... i tried driving my cuzns innova and its much better compare to the crosswind... nice interior too... lots of power.. sana isuzu would change the engine to a crdi na.. meron naman 2.5 crdi sa thailand.. why not bring it here.... and the alterra didint replaced the reputation established by the trooper... the dmax needs also a new model... i saw the new hilux and damn it looks so good... with 17" rims and beefier looks complement the stance... dapat and dmax ganun din... hehehe...

[HUMANHORDE]

Mga gurus!!!!

Ang Mitsubishi Strada 2012, i believe will have their 2012 entry with VGT na (like the Monty Sport GTV- correct me if im wrong).
Ang 2012 Ford Ranger, mukang ilalabas na din dito(sana) ang 5 cylinder VGT rin na engine nila.
Ang Toyota 2012 Hilux, Variable Nozzle Turbo na din ang entry nila next year. Correct me mga experts dyan kung ang Variable nozzle turbo ng hilux ay same lang ba ng VGS Turbo ng Isuzu?(4JJ1-TCX) Alam ko kase VNT at VGT same lang yan, terminology lang.


Having these major or top brands of pickups in the phils., ALL of them having their pickup entry for 2012 equipped with Variable Geometry Turbo or VGT/VNT, then logic will dictate that Isuzu WILL be left behind if IPC still insist of putting the same 4JJ1 engine on their 2012 Dmax entry.
While having a cup of coffee yesterday, while looking at my 2008 Isuzu Dmax hehe, it suddenly struck me. Will Isuzu Phils just stand there, getting beat up and fed with dust by their competitors? i think not. Here's what I think. IPC is not selling its VGS Dmax here in the Phils. for the past few years because their competitors are, should I say, just MATCHED with their engines. Even if it is only the 4JJ1, it can still beat them up widely by sales, efficiency and specs pound 4 pound. NOW that 2012 is coming and Mitsubishi, Toyota, Ford etc are raising their engines to another level (VGT-sorry pero matagal na sa Isuzu, THAILAND nga lang,hehe), I am faithfully and religiously believing that IPC will introduce here in the Phils. their 2012 Version of Dmax with at LEAST, the 4JJ1-TCX VGS Engine!!! The TIME is NOW!!! or Else......

Paki correct lang po ako kung may mga nasabi akong mali...hihihi
Tandaan , ang mali ay dapat itama dahil ang kung ano ang nakikita sa matatanda, ay nagiging tama sa mata ng mga bata.bwahahaha

Thanks mga bossing

Good day Sir Humanhorde.

Kindly just follow this thread at the Car Comparison page re "2012 Fortuner 3.0V vs Montero Sport GTV", and see some details about the Hilux 3.0 D4-D VNT's since 2001, and our Philippine-issue Strada/ Montysport that just this 2011, the auto-trannies of these two Mitsu's are now distributed here with VGT's. They are still running the same 2.5-litre 4D56 engine though, but with a VGT this time around. Next year, Mitsu Philippines will start selling VGT-equipped manual-tranny Strada's.

2001 pa ang Isuzu Japan at ang Toyota Motors, particularly, the very 1KD-FTV engine of the 3.0-litre Prado and the Hilux were already VNT-equipped.

Isuzu, on the other hand, and in particular, was even the world's originator of closed-deck cylinder block made of diecast aluminum, common-rail fuel injection system, DOHC and with a variable nozzle turbocharger (VNT or VGT)....
....In fact ang pinaka-unang CRDi diesel na dumating dito sa Pinas ay ang 3.0-litre Isuzu Trooper 4JX1, not the Hyundai diesels. Kulang lang Isuzu sa marketing gimmikry and Isuzu, in particular, far differentiates its models around the world ---- kaya mas malalakas mga engine outputs ng European-based CRDi diesels nila because of VGT's at mahihina naman ang sinu-supply nila sa ating Las Islas Filipinas hehe

Below is what i have said earlier at page 4 of this thread re the VGT that was already all-in-there with the 1KD-FTV. i think the manufacturer Honeywell terms it only as VNT, short for variable nozzle turbocharger.

Boss GTi, the Toyota Prado and the 3.0-litre Hilux and Forty share the same 1KD-FTV powerplant that has always been VGT-equipped since 2001 (YES, since year 2001! ;))

The Prado's 1KD-FTV engine, however, is just a bit tweaked-out compared to the Forty or Hilux that it produces 172 metric-hp and 420 Nm from 1600 rpm to 2800 rpm.

Overall, the 1KD-FTV engine is an excellent 4-cylinder diesel engine that is very responsive as well to slight modifications, even on 1st-stage intake mod, the power and torque gains are very much sizeable. It may not be as powerful as a straight-4 with twin-turbo, or a V6-engine utilising twin-turbochargers just like other 3.0-litre German mades, but it fits very well for what it is. We guys get easily amazed with 550 Nm torque but least we know the trick out there lies only with so much boosting for the most part.

The 1KD-FTV is way better and way versatile throughout its powerband than the 2.5-litre 4D56 of the Mitsubishi na sinalpakan lang ng VGT. I would always go for the bigger 3.0-litre that has a bit of boosting than a smaller engine that relies heavily on boosting and thus is highly-strung. As the saying goes, there's no replacement for displacement.

Useful talga ang mga advices nyo sir!
