Partner, try to register at 4x4ph.com The guys there would better know if there is a local distributor of Maxxis here in the Philippines.

Oh no, you'd be surprised. They're serious 4x4 fanatics but would surely share info if one needs.

Normal ba sa trucks natin with a loaded bed and incline road to move without gassing on 2nd gear? I tried it a couple of times last week in the province. Or baka my mali sa truck ko? BTW, it's a 2010 LS 4x2.

As I have read in an article of a 4x4 mag, a 4x4 test drive conducted by ISUZU Philippines in cooperation with Landcraft Philippines, yes, it can (and would) move at 1st and 2nd gear without stepping on the gas pedal. Ganyan katindi ang torque ng ISUZU D-Max!

..... I doubt if other brands could do that.

Thanks benzmizer for your reply. I was thinking my idling needs adjustment. Thanks again.

Even if it's the least powerful among the its category based on paper specs.

Correct! What most people miss understanding is TRUCKS and PICK-UPS are workhorses. You don't gauge it's "power" thru HP/PS alone. It's the TORQUE that matters.... or at the least, a good balance of HP and torque.

Example, mas preferred mo ba ang isang truck or pick-up na matulin pero sa akyatan, tukod?

[nels76]

Yon nga eh.
Doon sa ibang thread dito na nababasa ko, they recommend a pick up kasi it can do 180 (and faster) pa daw on NLEX / SCTEX.

DMAx has wide power band. Power is delivered even at lower RPMs.
Pero yong isang Pick Up diyan. The most powerful pero the power is delivered above 2k RPM. Kaya nilalampaso lang ng DMAx sa offroad eh.
