    For your budget, it is favorable to go with Mitsubishi L200. With its ever reliable 4D56 engine, hindi ka magsisisi. Also, the parts are easy to find and affordable. Marami ding mekaniko ang may alam sa makina nito.

    The problem with flooded diesels is not with the engine, but with the electrics (power locks, power windows, wiring/relays, and horn).
    May I suggest that you look for the Nissan Frontier 4X2 1998-2001, the good thing is they still make it today as the "Nissan Bravado 2.7", same body, and the same engine so parts would be plentiful.

    Your choice for an Isuzu is the best for me. Bullet proof engine reliability (timing GEAR) coupled with great fuel economy is your best bet for a good workhorse.

    Second choice for me would be the immortal Toyota Hi-Lux. Prices for 2nd hand units may be pricey but worth it in the long run.

    Diesel engines like the ones mentioned above wouldn't have much problems when flooded except if water enters the engine via the air intakes but other than that it would be fine.

    my :twocents:

    2003 4x2 Fuego owner here.
    It was also bought 2nd hand few years back with 40,000 in the odometer at P500,000 (already lifted with 265/70/15 tires).

    Pros:
    -easy and relatively cheap maintenance.
    -good fuel economy.
    -very reliable engine (4JA1 with turbo).

    Cons:
    -noisy engine.
    -rattling noise in the cabin.

    Its a good work pick-up.

    You will probably settle for a pre-2000 model at your 250K budget. Not to worry since all Fuegos basically look the same.

    How about MAZDA BT 50 . I seen they use it for drifting with a turbo charged engine.

    if i were you, id go with any nissan Eagle series, i have a nissan eagle BD25.the fuel consumption is good and the engine is strong, no major problems with its engine, the only problem i cant stand is the stiffness of the suspension but it runs very well,

    I suggest you go for a Nissan Frontier...
    Based from personal experience:
    We have a 2000 Nissan Frontier 2.7 4x2 bought brand-new
    Pros:
    Strong engine (4x4s are 3.0)
    Stable
    Strong chassis
    Aircon
    Front seats
    cheap parts
    it's a Nissan

    Cons:
    Suspension is stiff
    Rear seats

    -we have had no problems. for real.

    You know, GMA and ABSCBN both use this for their fleets. Useful for extreme terrain and different environment.
    The condition depends mostly on the user.

    Fellow tsikoteers, I just want to ask kung san meron reliable shop in Bulcan area that modifies manual window to power window, especially for Mazda B2200 pick up. At kung magkano kung sakali ang magagastos? Pati alarm at central lock. Thanks.

    Matibay talaga Isuzu sa mga old school diesels. Many mechanics would tell you that less 4JA1s and 4JB1s overhauled compared to other brands.

    Kaya medyo mahal. 400T for a 2003 Fuego LS is just about fair market price.
