This month’s Big Test is literally big: Not only does it feature three titans in the form of the 2023 Isuzu D-Max 4x4 LS-E, the Nissan Navara Pro-4X, and the Toyota Hilux Conquest, it’s also quite comprehensive that we’ve split it into two parts. Welcome to part one of our Big Pickup Test.br br Of course, we have to test 4x4 midsize pickup trucks off-road, so we’re back at Driftwoods Action Park in Indang, Cavite, to play in the dirt. This week’s installment covers the first four sub-tests. First up are our staples: 0-60kph off-road acceleration, and 60-0kph full braking. But it's not just about raw power and performance—we also delve into the realm of ride comfort and handling.br br Pickup fans already know by now that each of these trucks have their own strengths. The Toyota Hilux makes no compromises to maintain its rep for reliability and robustness, the Nissan Navara puts a premium on comfort with its coil-sprung suspension, and the Isuzu D-Max now prides itself on balancing utility and lifestyle use. Watch the full video above to see which of the three takes the lead in these initial challenges, and stay tuned for part two, coming out next week.br br Chaptersbr 0:00 Introbr 1:30 Test 1 – 0-60kph off-road accelerationbr 3:40 Test 2 – Braking testbr 5:30 Tests 3 and 4 – Ride and handling, Toyota Hilux Conquestbr 5:30 Tests 3 and 4 – Ride and handling, Isuzu D-Max LS-Ebr 9:20 Tests 3 and 4 – Ride and handling, Toyota Hilux Conquestbr 12:45 Tests 3 and 4 – Ride and handling, Nissan Navara Pro-4Xbr br Presenters: Anton Andres, Beeboy Bargas, Leandre Greciabr Editor: Charles Banaagbr Videographer: Charles Banaag, Teddy Garcia Jr.
