Am looking for a workhorse. Cheap & simple to maintain, matipid sa diesel, abundant parts, under 150K. My choices: L200, B2200, Nissan. Comments appreciated especially from previous owners of these rigs.

L200 is great :D pero i doubt na makakuha ka sir ng under 150k kc ang selling ng 1994 na l200 na good condition is at least 180 up eh
L200 seems to be the one that will fit that budget range (although dagdag pa yan)... Kung less than 150K then you'll be looking at old Nissan/Datsun pick-ups... or an L300 FB

I think you cant go wrong with the L200....
plenty of parts and the very reliable mitsu 4d56 engine...
b2200 is good enough, 160 lng ang model 94 pababa, matibay and reliable just like the one that ive got pinalitan ko nga lng ang engine ng RFZ turbo for only 25k pero lakas nman humatak pagdating sa biritan di ka mapapahiya...malupit bro

I have a mitsu L200 2000 model only used on sundays main purpose is for taking me from point a to point be..it aint used to haul heavy cargo always unladen most of the time im the only one in it no other passengers sometimes it just sits in our garage. for a car that is 6 years old it has only clocked 30,000 plus on the odometer. change oil every 4,000kms or six months whichever comes first with mobil 1 fully synthetic or mitsu turbo xp. it is very well maintained for every change oil i replace the oil/fuel filter with a brand new oem,also with the aircleaner i dont buy replacement parts.
even with the tender loving care that i gave my rig marami pa rin nasisira na hindi naman dapat if i would sum it all up it might be enough to get me a modest pre-owned sedan as a 2nd car...
imagine the most recent part i replaced last week was the idler arm assembly, ang dami ko nang napalitan torsion bars, brake master assembly, yung sa cluctch, yung small radiator thingy sa loob which is responsible for the heater, load sensing valve, ang dami pang ibang parts na hindi naman wear and tear pero nasisira hindi ko na isasama ang mga balljoints which i already replaced 2x or 3x oh not to mention some electrical problems which encountered when it was still new.
i would have sold it years ago and just cough up the excess money that would be incurred on its repairs to buy me a new rig if it wasnt for its sentimental value...
ang masasabi ko lang mitsubishi should change its name to MITSUBISHIT![]()
yea yun din nga ang naisip ko
pero di ko nabili ito gift lang sa akin

sabi na nga ba eh! Well God bless ur dadeto ngayon best bet ko, maybe a 91-up na b2200. Marami akong experiment na gagawin sa otong ito.
what plans mo sa pickup bro? sali ka grupo namin www.soundtrucks.multiply.com
mas maganda ang L200 but choose the model 1994 and up... mataas yung upuan sa likod tas 2.5 na makina... then maraming parts available ksi sa L200. although sa b2200 naman dalawa yung oil filter and madali lang rin ang maintenance.
maganda ang b2200/2500. tibay nga. we had one before at kahit nawala na ang radiator cap e never naman sya natuyuan o nag overheat. wala ring major prob pati pang ilalim kahit kinargahan ng construction materials pataas-baba ng bundok (laging primera ang gamit). mataas ang ground clearance kahit yung 4x2 and malaki rin ang cargo bed. yung rear seat lang di masyadong comfy at medyo lacking sa creature comforts (pagkakaalam ko power steering lang meron).
yung L200 wala akong masyadong experience kaya wala akong macomment. though kung 4x4 lang, ito na siguro mas ok.
