wiretap: nice pix! 3.0 ung engine nito ha! 4JX1? Ilan daw hp? Ganda!

Actually the engine is a 4JH1TC good for 130ps * 3800rpm.

Very powerful. I got a chance to test drive it this morning in an offroad scenario. I was very impressed with this pick-up! And to think, i'm not a pickup guy! The killer looks are a plus!

ganda, ganda... probably the top pick in the local compact pick-up market, imo

yeapp mukhang top pick nga sya ang ganda eh...pero sya rin ata ang pinakamahal sa pickup. panu mo malalaman sa labas kung 4x4 or 4x2?

compare to a frontier? malayo ba agwat sa power?

Skywalker: At the back of the grill just like the Ranger.

Price:
D-MAX: P 1,255,000 (MT)
Ranger: P 1,050,000 (1-tone), P 1,060,000 (2-tone), P 1,135,000 (limited)

Torque:
D-MAX: 279Nm*2000rpm (M/T)
Ranger: 280Nm*2000rpm (M/T)

I think if it were value for money, the Ranger wins. You can get the 4x4XLT model at P200k lower than the D-MAX.

What do you guys prefer? Push-button transfer case like the D-MAX or part-time manual transfer case like the Ranger's? I prefer the manual.
