If you do not intend to go off the beaten path, stick with the Troopie. May moonroof ka pa. The engines are very powerful and the suspension is more car-like than in the more off-road oriented Patrol.

the patrol provides you with a modern look and in terms of power i don't see that you'll be in a position where u will feel that it's underpowered. With 155hp i think it's more than enough. though the trooper is the most POWERFUL it's dated design is becoming unappealing to some people but it still has that following as with the pajero.
Now if isuzu will introduce the new Ascender then i guess i have to reevaluate my stance.
ako my choice na..
pareho ko tinest drive ang dalawa...kasi i need to buy SUV due to excise tax implementation on March 31...
TROOPER...car like...ok sa traffic...good suspension... more power...may looks naman yung satin silver - elegance...ABS...('though walang airbag, yung CRV nga in IceColdBeer di nag-activate ang airbag).
Trooper! Kakukuha ko lang last saturday. Bad trip nga di ako nakauwi so bayaw ko na lang naglabas sa kasa. Next week ko pa makikita bago kong baby he he :mrgreen:
benny010, ikaw nakapili ka na ba? Malapit na yung excise tax
kung trooper ok may skyroof pa pero isipin mo rin na parang inuupgrade lang nila same body rin.
yung safari dream car ko yun iba ang dating maangas yung safari ata may choice ka pa kung gsto mong pa 4wd
Thx. Same here, dream car ko din Patrol even when I was in college pa. Medyo malaki lang idadagdag ko which is unreasonable for me kasi twice a month lang ako nasa Manila. Before CRV dala ko kaya lang natotal wreck ako tsaka gusto ni esmi van, so nagmeet na lang kami in between, yung pwedeng sumakay ng marami at hindi van since ayaw ko nun kasi nga madalas mag-isa lang ako sa Manila, baka mag-echo sa loob ng van he he.
Anyway, di ko lang alam sa Patrol kasi marami akong naririnig na problema sa ibang threads. And besides, I ask the rep kung pwede upgrade trooper into 4x4 and they said yes, dunno if it's true :roll:
go for patrol! mas intimidating compare sa trooper!. in fact nga parang mas malaki pa nga ang patrol compare to expedition kun titignan mo...:mrgreen:go for patrol! mas intimidating compare sa trooper!. in fact nga parang mas malaki pa nga ang patrol compare to expedition kun titignan mo...:mrgreen:
although the patrol's suspension is more on the harsh side (front axles with coil springs compared to IFS of other SUVs here), durability would never be a problem here.
and i've tried driving diesel SUVs here. the patrol has the smoothest running diesel by far.
Patrol for me, but for city use only, you'll probably be happier with the Trooper. note that you won't have the option of converting to 4x4 in the future with the trooper though
Trooper Skyroof or New Patrol?
