I just saw the advertisement of isuzu on motoring today. It says that they will be having an event at MOA this coming november 8. There is a new dmax called special edition. Somehow similar to the picture in this thread.
Tingin ko lang mga sirs and fella Isuzu guys, uubusin ng mga Pinoy D-max'ers and some converts itong RT-50 pagdating nito sa 3rd Quarter 2013
Sa dating palang sir, ulam na, lalo na itong white-colour
Just learned about the 3rd quarter next year thing from a forumer here, or was it at TopGear PH(?), that he chanced upon reading in a national daily newspaper's business section what seems to be an official announcement by Isuzu Philippines about the slated arrival of this new D-max to our shores....
i will have those step-boards removed myself hehe to make it simply more good-looking. Front-grille needs a different look as well, but that's just me though hehe ;)
Cheers!
ganda ng RT-50i just don't really like what they did with the grille. d_ma is right, it needs to be reworked or modded.
Sakit nito magsalitamukha bang FL lang? Haha!
IMO okay naman yun looks, di nga lang masyado aggressive yun looks tulad nung present D-Max. Wala akong hilig sa pick up pero itong RT-50 D-Max, Colorado at 2012 Ranger trip ko. Haha.
At bagay yung 20" na VR CE28 ah. :clap:
The 2013 Dmax almost looks like the chevy colorado...I'm just curious, what exactly does Dmax stand for and is the colorado's engine which is technically called "Duramax" related to it or was it patterned after the Dmax?
what are the specs of the engines that will be offered in the Philippines?
Just a quick note chief - Duramax was formed when General Motors and Isuzu Japan JV'd in United States. Duramax abbreviation is actually D-max.
All new diesel engines during the period of the JV were all designed by Isuzu including the 6.6-litre V8 used for the Hummer and some GM-Chevrolet vehicle in the US. As for the midsize pickups, up until the end of 2011, every Chevrolet diesels were co-shared with the same engine that goes with the Isuzu D-max. Name them, from the Chevrolet Colorado, to the Holden Colorado in Australia, and Chevrolet D-max in South America.
However, some of the engines that Isuzu designed that time are now under the rights of GM, even the industry-setting year 2001 Isuzu 6DE1 engine - it being the world's first closed-deck cylinder block made of die-cast aluminium. It is 3.0-litre V6 diesel commonrail direct fuel injection engine, 4-valve DOHC and equipped with VGT. This Euro 3-compliant engine, even at that time, was exported only to Europe, which was mainly used by Saab of Sweden, Renault of France and Opel of Germany.
While GM-Chevrolet kept the Duramax label even when the JV with Isuzu is already over, it however is now using the VM Motori Italia engines on its diesel midsize pickup and SUV line-ups.
Cheers!
