I'm planning to get a 2003-2004 Fieldmaster. What do you like and do not like about this SUV?
I currently have a pick up Dmax and I'm planning of getting a Fieldmaster since di ko nagagamit ang bed nya.
I heard "kalampag" daw ang problem ng mga FM. How true is this? But it's actually my first choice, next would be the Fortuner.
Any inputs would be much appreciated.
I agree with oliver1013. That "kalampag" may be a sign of how the previous owner maintained the SUV.
I consider the FM design to be "lasting"... may not be enough to be considered "timeless" but sure is a favorite to many... me included. Much better than the 1995-1999 body of the Pajero.
As to be compared with the Fortuner, the Fortuner is also a nice PICK-BASED SUV. Not that the Fortuner (as we all know) is of the same platform of the Hilux... while the FM is a REAL SUV -- even with a suspension setting.
So if asked, I'd still stick to an FM... you just need to be keen on its maintenance record.
looks, functionality, ride quality, image... patok lahat. the only really negative things about it are its age and "takaw nakaw" (but has since been replaced by the fortuner hehe)
