i tested the truck's abs. The left tires were on a rough road and the right tires were on asphalt. Ran the vehicle to 80 kph and slammed on the brakes. the truck stopped following a straight line. This wouldnt have happened if there was no abs and ebd.

straight line stopping? it is the EBD that primarily worked, not the ABS.

to test your ABS, run through the same terrain, slam on the brakes while steering your vehicle.

i think the ABS also did its job because without it the tires on the rough road would have locked due to the fact that they were on low traction surface than the tires on the asphalt.

kurt, ok naman. hindi p ako nakasakay sa fuego while cruising e. pero im sure mas tahimik ang dmax. di hamak na mas malakas ang makina e. on the outside hindi ko rin sure kasi, ako yung nagda-drive e. peoro pag nasa loob, at asphalt tahimik siya, maingay pa nga yung honda civic 96.ma-ugong b. =)

seems that the 4x4 d-max is trying to woo would be hi-lux buyers with additional accessories.

Isuzu Launches 2005 D-MAX
by Jason K. Ang

The Pickup Wars are just beginning. A day after Toyota launched its all-new Hilux, Isuzu Philippines Corporation launched the 2005 version of its D-MAX pickup.

A best-seller in its category, with a record-breaking 100,000 unit sales in its first year, the D-MAX soldiers on with its formidable 3.0 liter direct injection turbodiesel engine with intercooler. Power is still at 130 hp and torque at 280 Nm (manual transmission) / 294 Nm (automatic).

New features for 2005 are upgrades to the audio system and instrument panel trim. The 4x4 now comes with a bed-mounted rollbar and drop-in bedliner. The 2005 D-MAX 4.2 is priced at PHP960,000 (MT) and PHP1,015,000 (AT). The 4x4 MT goes for PHP1,330,000 and the AT is at PHP1,390,000.

apparently, it was time that toyota have to revamp the aging model which was nearly 10 years already. also it was good that they introduced a powerful engine to rival the isuzu's engine. good thing though, they have the 2nd gen common rail fuel injection.

Sir,

Do you accept trade-ins? My dad is very interested to replace our old 96 Isuzu Pick-up.

Gusto ko ng 4x4 AT. Kaso ang mahal naman ngayon.. 80k din ang dinagdag. Badtrip naman.
