4x4 mid-spec brawl: Isuzu D-Max LT vs Toyota Hilux 2.4 E vs Ford Ranger XLS Sport

[Verbl Kint]

All priced nearly to each other; all pick-ups, all with 4x4.

Which is the best for hauling stuff and doing it in bad terrain? Which one would last more than a decade?

I'm going Toyota with this. primarily because better steering. the suspension is really built to haul heavy items. You will have plenty of 3party options after 10years. The 2.4Liter engine is built to have maximum reliability. Toyota did not downsize too much. They didn't push too much boost with their turbo. You also get a differential lock in case you're really in slippery offroad situations.


Isuzu philippines has really removed alot of features on the Dmax LT. And its too expensive. No airbags? No ABS? 16inch wheels? lol

Isuzu even had the audacity to put the 5 speed manual transimission!!! You can't even download the specs from IsuzuPH's website.

Hauling stuff and bad roads matic ako Hilux. Bias ako kasi i use 1.

Once loaded 13-15 sacks of rice sa bed ng hilux low-rider hindi nagreklamo aside sa dumapa lang yung likod. Kailangan lang sobra bagal takbo kasi hirap habulin yung brakes. Hehe

Too bare yung isuzu but for hauling stuff i know it gets the job done.

Ranger complete package sana but may kulang para saakin na hindi ko ma-pinpoint..

[minicarph]

kulang sa paligo? Pero hinde eh pinaka pogi Ranger sa lahat

TS wanted to know which would last a decade?

I currently own a raptor but I came from a hilux revo, I personally think the hilux will last for years more so than its competitors.

With regards to looks, kanya kanya na yan.

I am in the same dilemma. In narrowing my choices, I have ruled out the ranger because of the percieved high cost of maintenance and more importantly the lack of rear differential lock or at least some kind of limited slip rear differential. I seriously considered the navarra el 4x4 mt. However, the dealer informed me that this variant is currently not available in most dealerships nationwide. The VL navarra is already too expensive. It seems I might have to go with the hilux. The only thing holding me back is the stiff ride.

There are aftermarket shock absorbers available for the hilux. I would go for the 10way ridemax or 9way toughdog.

pinakamahal pala Ranger to maintain, isama na din natin old strada and navarra entry level mas mura ba mag maintain nito?

personally, i like the ranger then navarra, gaano ba katipid sa FC itong mga pickup with these 2.0L - 2.5L engines, in 60 kph average?

sorry po sa TS kung me Qs na 4x2
