No, it's not yet the electric version of the Isuzu D-MAX, but it appears the Japanese automaker is gearing up to make an electric-only version of a pick-up truck very soon. While no timelines were revealed, Isuzu wants to enter the electric vehicle (EV) market with a pick-up truck. Isuzu president and COO Shinsuke Minami shared during the 2024 Isuzu D-MAX launch that the automaker is currently making strides for a carbon-neutral society. The company must make an electric pick-up truck tough and

Disclosure: GWM Philippines lent us the GWM Cannon SLux for a week with a full tank of diesel and access to its two RFID cards. Japanese and American offerings dominate the pick-up truck market in the Philippines. It is a challenging segment to crack, especially for budding Chinese carmakers who want a piece of that lucrative pie. Filipinos want a durable, reliable car that can handle harsh conditions, especially with our roads. Enter the GWM Cannon, a new pick-up truck that wants to stake its c

Each has its strengths and weaknesses. And truth be told, both vehicles are highly capable and have become the best-selling models in their respective categories. But why would anyone pick one model over another?

If there is something that keeps on soaring, it is the price of fuel. That is why we keep an eye on daily fuel price updates and consider alternatives, whether going on a public commute or switching to a more fuel-efficient car. The global oil crisis is suffering us this year but we still deserve to have fun sometimes – and adventurous people often feel that whenever they are on an off-road trip. That is why off-road vehicles like high-performance SUVs and pickup trucks have been in-demand these

Lately, car companies are going whack when it comes to upgrading their beloved bestsellers. So, of course, giant companies like Ford aren't gonna back down on this trend. They took their best-selling pickup truck, Ranger Raptor, and… “improved” it! Who knew they could still tweak this already towering behemoth with better specs, better comfort, better carrying capacity, better performance, and better looks. To be honest, the “new” face design kind of reminded us of RoboCop. If you haven’t ridden
