That's why we chose the Dmax.

Diba, pareho lang sila ng underchassis & suspension ng Innova? How about Dmax?

FYI. the hilux 4x4 has the highest HP output on all the diesel pickups :D so if u want raw power get the hilux. :D lahat talaga ng pickup matagtag.

For me TORQUE is more important than the HP output since pick-ups are really meant for hauling.

Yup lahat matagtag but its better to choose the most comfortable. With the strada, dmax (flex ride), and ranger, the hi-lux will be out of my choices. I always look at things at a balance. Power is just an aspect of everything. There's still safety, riding comfort, handling, hauling capacity, etc. etc.

But hey, comfort is always subjective...

J Avoni,
The hilux has leaf springs at the rear (while the fortuner and the innova has coils) and is...a pick-up which means that you have to deal with the ride during times when rear is unladen.

Better if you test drive your choices for you to be able to feel what vehicle is suited for you.

Djerm i agree on you...For me too.. riding comfort, handling , torque and SAFETY is the main aspects of choosing a suitable pick-up ..Like as Djerm was saying..It is better to test drive it first and evaluate if this truck is much suitable for you and your lifestyle.. Anyway you are the only person who can decide which truck is for you..

One thing I don't like about the Ford is the engine..the engine is from mazda..I've been using mazda pick-up last year, mazda engine needs to be maintain regularly..tnx

Thanks for the info.

i had nissan 4x4 frontier...matibay..i used it offroad 5x a week... the disapointing fact lang, mahina ung makina.lack of torque.. bumpy yung ride compare sa fuego 4x4 2.8 engine

redwave,
38k? WOW, baka kasama na 1 month sweldo ng mekaniko na gagawa ng sasakyan mo. Hehe

I had a major suspension repair before at servitek and it just cost me roughly 10k.

Just settle for replacement parts basta orig 555 japan. Go to your suking servitek station. Marcos highway servitek is known to have good services.
