Let say, what if Isuzu Malaysia bring in this new D'MAX 2021 in market, would you wait for this newest version of ultimate Dmax model?

QUOTE(Asquith @ Jun 25 2020, 04:09 AM) In the context of this market, it will depend ultimately if the driver is yourself or your workers, if it is yourself then how important is it to have an automatic gearbox as all of them are manual. If you are carrying load then it depends on if it is a bulky but light or smaller but heavier, many of the single cab variants tend to be lacking in specification and power output. QUOTE(chiangth @ Jun 25 2020, 11:17 PM) er...I think you have answered your own question. if you need more load rating go Single cab. If the load you carry doesnt need the additional space and will not be exceeding around 900kg then you can maybe go double-cab. mostly will be for off road either 1 or 2 person. rarely will have more than 2 person. cause it will be used to go into orchard.. so might need to carry fruit harvest & equipment.. really depends on your usage 1. maybe if you can elaborate what load you will be carrying. that would help to clarify a little more. Are there any 4x4 that is lower than 2.0 cc? |

Isuzu has a single cab 4x4 and 1.9l but only available new. Are there any 4x4 that is lower than 2.0 cc? Also are you for certain you need a 4x4 what kind of terrain is your orchard? |

QUOTE(zeonczk @ Jun 24 2020, 02:16 PM) is choosing Single cab better than Double Cab? most of the time will only have 2 person in the car and bringing load. i have both single cab (dmax) & double cab (hilux) unless you consistently carry long/huge cargo, single cab will be quite overkill for most applications - really bouncy and harsh ride as the rear springs are tuned for carrying heavy loads - cramped passenger cell, leaving very little space for items like bags/toolboxes - manual only with very short gear ratios, not ideal for long distance trips - bare-bone interior - worse NVH due to reduction in sound-proofing within panels - compromised safety features compared to the double cab peers |

My family owns a ninety acre fruit orchard and forest tree plantation that is a terraced hill slope. We tendered for a lot of ex PDRM Land Rover Defenders, 18 units in various state of disrepair. 4x4 will definitely help but only if you have good tyres. Now we are on the lookout for a 5 year old Ford Ranger with the 3.2l engine and manual gearbox. |

Are there any 4x4 that is lower than 2.0 cc? If it's only for use in orchard then I do not think ride quality is of high concern, so I think you can focus on other 2 factors - reliability and load bearing. For reliability, I believe most of the mainstream trucks in the market are very reliable. As for load bearing, if you want to carry more than 1 tonne of load then definitely go for the single cab. But please go take a look at the real model first because the space is HUGE. Are there any 4x4 that is lower than 2.0 cc? Only Isuzu new model have 4x4 in 1.9cc. but its 1.9cc is actually more powerful than its outgoing 2.5L. And in terms of reliability, I believe D-Max is one of the best if you intend for rough use. If you intend to get 2nd hand then none. the lowest i think is still 2.2 Ranger. |

QUOTE(chiangth @ Jun 26 2020, 01:18 AM) only afraid that in the future there would be limited spare parts due to small quantity the commons parts sure no issue.... it is those exterior and interior styling parts that would be a problem if not common with other mazda vehiclesIf the BT-50 uses everything Isuzu then that would be a problem. Isuzu parts are in abundance here lol. |

If the owner would be a frequent driver or passenger of the pickup and if it would be driven far then best to get one with a bit more creature comforts than a strip down variant. Personally when it comes to pickups the better ones to drive on your own are the Ford Ranger and Mitsubishi Triton.Do you still have any Land Rover to let go? i am quite interested.. have been on a look out for LRD for quite some time now.. thanks! i guess it will be a few more years before the 1.9 d-max actually have 2nd hand.. saw the 1.9 d-max going for about 92k in mudah.. I do not have any Land Rovers for sale, of the 18 we bought all had to be cannibalised and we built 5 that we now use, the remaining we sold off as parts or donor vehicles. |

QUOTE(new in IT @ Aug 16 2020, 03:35 PM) I stay in Pandan area, KL. Just bought a 2nd hand Nissan Navara. Since you ask this I assume you do not have a preferred or a workshop which you know very well? Unless you know very well the way the previous owner take care of the car, if not I would suggest go back to Nissan SC to make sure they do a major service to check whether everything is ok. Only they have the complete checklist what are the things which needs to check and to grease (alot of 3rd party SC do not do bearing, suspensions, hub greasing etc). Use Nissan genuine parts as much as possible. (except brake pads. OEMs brake pads are crap, lol).Where can I go for pickup truck service? Any sifu here can recommend? My D-Max is already 8 years old and I still go back to Isuzu SC. To ensure all is really well-maintained. May I know whether yours is the older VL or newer NP? |

Hi. Can anyone give recommendation on reliable workshops that can help inspect, service 4x4 (or specifically for Ford Ranger) around Klang Valley?
Been going to official dealer to service past few years, and now since my warranty is over, am looking for more affordable ones; but most importantly a trustworthy reliable mechanic. Having issues now with my Ranger, and was told by official service that I need to replace certain parts, and this problem just happen to appear after doing a service with them. Need a second opinion, and they even recommend maybe to go other shops outside which will be cheaper. Thanks in advance! |

Looking for a pickup that's comfortable (I know ) and capable in offroad/sandy terrain.
COVID time not keen to test drive everything but currently have the new Hilux 2.4 Double Cab (RM133k) in mind just because its predecessors were reliable. Is it worth topping up to the Hilux 2.8 Rouge (RM143k) or just spend the difference on suspension mods instead ? |

Is it worth topping up to the Hilux 2.8 Rouge (RM143k) or just spend the difference on suspension mods instead ? Dmax in the old days (2008 model) was very comfy but handling wise very boat feeling. BT50/ Ranger chassis (2008) then was not as comfy but handles way better in corners. I find that keeping about 100-200kg load (emergency water supply bottles) in the bed has improved the ride quality a lot for my BT50. This post has been edited by ceo684: Nov 9 2020, 01:28 AM |
