Isuzu Truck Crewcab inquiry

[OTEP]

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.

yes. hindi na sya na titilt. mabigat na kasi. if you dont need the open cargo space sa likod you can choose an FB body instead para mas madaming tao masasakay.

but if you need extra seating for 3 persons plus a cargo space at the back, the double cab is ideal for you!

I almost forgot this thread, my apologies to all.

I was told by a friend (who happens to be a mechanic) that Isuzu trucks aren't that tough as compared to the Canter trucks. In addition, spare parts are kinda expensive compared to its counterparts. Is there any truth on this or applicable only to the old models?


*cuecraftsman: Thanks for the info.

*Benzmizer: I was hoping for locally assembled by Isuzu Philippines or other local assemblers we have in the metropolis. I'm not sure if I want to consider Japan surplus though since I'm not that expert in checking out how successful the "surplus truck" was converted.

*xxxbox360: Thanks for the link.

*OTEP: Thanks for the info regarding the "tilt-cab" issue.


Cheers!

mejo conflict po ata ang sinabi ng mechanic nyo sir. sa tagal ko na po sa truck selling 1 out of 10 mechanics prefer ISUZU over Canter.

Nagbebenta din po kami ng Canter pero konti lang po ang pinaparating namin na canter from japan kasi di sya kasing saleable gaya ng isuzu. mas konti po ang bumibili kaya as what our boss says.."tulog ang pera sa canter"

mas mura po ang canter kumpara sa presyo ng isuzu, konting price difference lang. kaya yung konti ang buget they settle for canter. pero kahit mura po ang canter, mahal naman ang maintenance nya kasi puro original ang parts available, konti lang ang replacement parts. unlike isuzu, madami ka choices, may original at replacement, depende sa buget mo at time na masiraan ka. kagandahan pa sa isuzu, madami ka mabibili na pyesa kahit sa mga probinsya, so kahit sa probinsya ka masiraan sigurado may mabibili na pyesa.

try asking other mechanics sir kung ano comment nila.

regarding conversion: ang pinaka important po na hanapin nyo sir is yung "original, brand new, at solid" ang knuckle arm at drag link. i have pictures of that sa website namin http://www.truckista.webs.com/

yung ibang conversion na ginagawa ng ibang japan surplus dealers is "cut and weld" or "twisted" which is pinagbabawal na po ng DTI sa ngayun. ayun kasi ang sanhi ng accident.

pag original ang knuckle arm at drag link actually hindi na po conversion ang tawag dun kasi original na po yun na pang left hand drive. kung cut and weld or twisted ayun po ang matuturing na conversion.
