    This got me intrigued though.

    "Just as impressive was the transmission. It's a pretty smart unit that seems to have the ability to detect steep descends. The automatic in the D-Max actually downshifts for you, mostly negating the need to put it into manual mode and shift to a lower gear. That also means there's no excuse for drivers to ride the brakes going downhill. "

    I think they use the term Grade Logic Control.

    How is the feel of the RZ4E engine compared to its older sibling the 4JJ1?

    In terms of acceleration, comfyness etc.

    Though I don't normally drive it, my dad does and uses it almost daily to and fro QC Divisoria QC.

    We bought the single cab and chassis with the FB Type rear body with fan (not sure how much weight it added but the engine doesn't seem labored with the rear).

    I'm guess-timating the average speed is about 15 kph and will not definitely exceed 20kph. He is already at 2000 kilometers mileage and done with the 1500kms PMS. Recent full tank method yielded about 8.2 km per liter while the digital readout displayed 8.7 km per liter. Normally has 2 pax with a bit of cargo (never even reaching an additional 200kgs cargo weight) about 25% of the time only.

    No Complaints about the car really. Still haven't been able to bring it out for an expressway run to get a highway mileage on the car. =)

    Haha! Not planning to "burn" per se. I personally don't mind driving it. Just want to compare performance with how I drive it vs the other Diesels we have in the family (Brothers and parents) for my own understanding (based on how I drive).

    If I am going out of Manila, might as well bring that instead if my dad's not using it. Hehe! But for now, have no schedule yet so never tried it. Aircon is cool enough and the suspension isn't as bouncy/harsh as I was expecting it to be. Definitely bearable I think. =) The noise from the rear does get a bit "loud" but that's to be expected since the fabricator didn't really do anything to insulate noise from the rear. It was made by a company called Truck Master if I heard it right, not the usual Almazora or Centro. But even if it were the other two, I doubt they'd put in the sound deadening material.

    Uncle also had a Hilander and Crosswind in the past that I also managed to drive out of town. I know they should "theoretically" be more fuel efficient (but more "dirty", noisy and slower) but just want to find out for myself

    And for the PMS, yes. Isuzu adviced us 1500kms as the first PMS, not first 1000kms. =)

    Thanks for this.

    For city driving, looks like im a ways off. Hehe. But understandable given the driving conditions (ave speed) that we are getting with it.

    Peaks my interest to try at least once for highway to see how close (or far) i am from those numbers. Ü

    Had the chance to make birit the rz4e Dmax A/T sa highway. Power was adequate but lacks the extra grunt of 3L.

    Dang! there's not much news and spyshot circulating on the web tho? The spy shot from the 1stQ of 2019 looks similar sa existing model hmm..

    Baka they won't be releasing the 2.4 pa? EU is using the higher output 1.9 pa eh ahhaha. Hope they would make a new 3L engine

    I am thinking they will release this hopefully late this year or, the latest, next year, in line with Mitsubishi's refresh of the Montero and the "most probable" price drop offering of the Terra next year (since it is unlikely they will release any refresh for the Terra this year or next).

    It makes sense as well given they really seem keen on disposing all of their 3.0 units with the various promos I've seen through the course of this year/

    But who really knows. That 2.4L engine based on the new design of the Rz4e technology/experience may be the better step up for for the MUX to still be fuel efficient even if fully laden, rather than the 1.9L.

    Anyway, looking forward to it and hoping it does come to our shores, even if a bit delayed.
