    we just bought a bnew Isuzu Dmax, 1st time ko drive ng diesel/pickup, naninibago ako sa pagdrive, bigat pala. mga sir, tanong lang po:
    - pansin ko pede ako magtake-off using 2nd gear agad, is this ok for the engine? do you guys start sa 1st gear kung normal road lang, or ok na 2nd gear?
    - may vibration ang mismong kambyo, pero sa dashboard at other parts hindi naman, yung mismong kambyo lang, is this normal.
    - mas mahina po ba talaga braking power nya kesa sa mga sedan?

    Yes you take off at second gear because of the higher torque of diesel engines. While others may disagree, I have done so with my nissan frontier for the past six years. No problems whatsoever with the transmission.

    Don't know about the vibration sa shift stick. Sa akin kasi, hindi masyado yung frontier ko. I think its because yung buong transmission kasi naka link directly with the engine while the chassis or body is isolated from the engine with rubber vibration dampers.

    Congrats sa bagong ride! Happy driving!

    congrats on your new ride. pwede yun sa 2nd gear agad as innoko mentioned pero i usually start on 1st gear. normal lang yun sa isuzu na nag vivibrate stick shift basta hindi nag vivibrate buong body. sarap nyan, matipid. ako nga i never used my gas powered car for so many weeks na because of gas prices. mas mura na diesel, mas fuel efficient pa. i cannot imagine myself driving a non-diesel car nowadays.

    Congrats on your new ride. Masanay ka na sa vibration at ugong ng diesel. yung break nyan pa -adjust mo na lang kung kinukulang.

    isa pa mapapansin mo sa diesel pick-up, mas mabilis ka lang ng konti sa mga jeepneys.

    eto lang napapansin ko, parati game mga jeepneys makipag-karera sa kin (karera ng pagon) hehehe

    IMO depende na sa driver yan tsaka pag nakabwelo naman ang diesel mabilis eh. sa arangkada mabilis talaga ang gasolina.

    Not with the newer ones (D-Max, Hilux). You can even give some 1.6 sedans out there a run for their money.
