if used at fruitfarm, and fruitfarm only, consider getting hilux single cab. ranger and navara tends to be abit lemak when it comes to heavy duty job. u can use it for heavy duty, yes, but u must never skip ur maintenance. hilux not so.

based on my personal experience+ppl who use 4x4 to angkat kelapa sawit

dmax ladder frame is weak..

coz dmax is made in thai? idk...

i use single cab hilux sr to carry ffb to collection centre. almost 20 years, all dinged up, but ladder frame is still straight, engine still strong altho got emit black smoke during heavy load.

hilux can carry 1 tonne easily. even even close to 2 tonne if u know how to stack the ffb

dmax after 5 years carrying 1-1.5 tonne, the ladder frame become warped, as told by ppl who use it as workhorse, be it private use or as company truck.

n ur source : "dude trust me"

oh the irony.

u want to believe or not is up to u. u belip or not, i didnt lose or gain anything. i merely retelling whats been told by my friends and families.

n btw...im a sabahan

u know why dmax is the best platform for modding? coz the engine is detuned to maximize fuel economy.

btw with same level of tuning, navara can achieve more power than dmax. then again... tuning a car is all about how much money ure willing to throw at the engine.

btw stock dmax 1st gen is notorious for its midrange power dip. get urself 1st gen dmax go drive kundasang hill, ull know what im talking about.
