Aren't you glad you drive a SUV/high riding vehicle?

sulit na sulit talaga SUV lalo na ngayon sa NLT. dire-diretso lang ako sa mga lubak or shoulder. definitely shortened my travel time to and from manila :D

teka ah, medyo late na na reply...

anyway,
ewan ko kung sino na nakasubok sa inyo sa mga rides niyo (sa mga may 4x4) pero nakakagapang ang Vitara ko even in 2H 1st gear. nagulat din ako eh, sa traffic sa EDSA sinubukan ko kung kelan mahihirapan ang makina pero nakakagapang... kaya nga niya na 1st gear gumagapang tas yung RPM between 6000 & 8000 (parang idling diba?)...

wala lang, share ko lang... hehehehe! kasi sa corolla ko dati di kaya yun sigurado!

so sa mga flood water crossings, hindi na siguro kelangan magshift to 4L or 4H... make sure lang na kung lulusob ka na hindi ka kelangang tumigil habang nakalubog... make sure clear ang path mo palabas ng baha, parang regular river crossing diba?

magulat din ako e 6000 - 8000 parang vtec yun a :mrgreen:

hahaha honga no?! sorry... 600 - 800 lang pala... nabulol mga daliri ko eh...

crawdaddy: I observed that too. So, bilib ka na sa ride natin? Hehehe... Btw, OEM stock idle is 850 rpm. When you switch on the aircon, it should go to 1k rpm, and when you switch it off, back to 850 rpm. Yun ang sabi ng Suzuki Service Manual ko. Baka gusto mo pa xerox, let me know. I borrowed it from my friend in bacolod kasi.

wiretap_md,
are you kidding?! if that's the same as the Workshop Manual, sobrang tagal nako naghahanap ng ganyan!!! and I think Workshop Manual and Service Manual parehas lang yan!

sige, pa-photocopy ako!

anyway, sakin naman kung naka-on ang aircon nasa 900 yung rpm.

oo no, tagal nako bilib dito sa ride natin! sa Maarat palang with Delta Recon eh, gulat ako nakayanan ng Vitara ang course na pinadaan samin. out of 10 vehicles, 5 ang Vitara! hehehehe! PANIS! haha yabang ba?

anyway ulit, kelan ko pwede pa-photocopy?

Hi diesel peeps! I plan to get a high-riding vehicle and I'm choosing between a Fuego and a Trooper. I need your expert opinion on which is better to use to ford floods, the pickup or the SUV? Thanks! )

isketi::: Depends all on the usage of your vehicle. Do you use it for work? Does it load heavy stuffs? You are comparing both vehicles from different sectors. Without a doubt the SUV will stand taller than the pickup.
