    Pickuptruck.com is predicting the Toyota Tacoma to become the bestselling compact/midsize truck in the US in 2005. The Ford Ranger, the bearer of the crown for eons of years now, has imploded since Ford started ignoring it.The only real competition is from the GM twin, Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon , which i heard is based on the Isuzu D-Max there,loosely or otherwise. Oh wait, maybe even the Dodge Dakota....
    so who's leading there in the Philippines, D-max, Hilux or Frontier. I read somewhere that the Hilux and Tacoma are different,is that true?

    AFAIK... from 2001-2003 Frontier ang best selling. can't find the CAMPI data for pick-ups for 2004 (though am betting it is the D-Max).

    though for Jan 2005, the Hi-Lux is now leading.

    tinanggal muna ng toyota ang abs para mabawasan ang cost, kaya mas mura ang hi-lux sa dmax. ;)

    walang abs and airbags ata yun hilux... the 4x4's for both isuzu and toyo is sooo costly at 1.3M. I saw in C! yun price ng dodge dakota is 1.3M(?)

    iilan yun nakikita ko na 4x4 models, pero dami ko nakikita na 4x2 d-max tas naka bling bling setup :D I think only Gold and Black are the colors for 4x4 D-max. Whereas the hilux 4x4 is totally taller than the 4x2.

    The Frontier has been the best selling for quite sometime now. Malakas kasi ang sales both to private owners and fleet operations (TV stations, utilities, etc.).
