Isuzu Truck Crewcab inquiry

**sid** · June 7th, 2009 08:54 PM

I'm wondering if this type of model is available locally. Any inputs in regards to "drivability" (power steering, etc.), suspension, and other good stuff?

Many thanks!

Thanks for the info chief. And sorry for the late reply.

Follow up question, is there a local version with the same body style available?

Thanks.

usually dropside at pick-up body mga doublecab elf/canter pero pwede mo naman pagawan ng aluminum/box/fb sa mga bodybuilders... halos lahat naka power steering na, yun 4wheeler meron naka torsion suspension, 6 wheeler usually naka rigid axel. disc break narin mga bago units...

* sid: Please clarify what you meant "locally available".... do you mean:

1) Locally available for purchase? -- Yes but Japan surplus as cuecraftsman pointed out
or
2) Locally available as assembled by ISUZU Philippines? -- Nope. Only Cab/Chassis available. No double cabs. Rear body application are of the end user's discretion.

I see a lot of these in Subic. Suspension is the same as most NKR models. If you want a comfortable ride, stick to radial truck tires. To me it makes sense to get a full FB body if you don't need the extra cargo space.

bestto have it checked by a trusted diesel mechanic. Black smoke is a usual but white smoke may be cuased by an unexpected "mixture".... earlier that you could have it checked, the better.

Isuzu Philippines never sold those models locally. AFAIK, only Kia makes a crew cab available in that class (K2700 series).

There are lots of (converted) imports. Some even have independent front suspension for greater comfort. There are also fully loaded units with a/c, power features, etc.

One thing I don't like is crew cabs are no longer tilt-cabs, making engine work a bit of a chore and the interior gets dirty in the process.
