Here are more details about the PH-spec next-gen Tamaraw

Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) has started the reservation period for the next-generation Tamaraw.

The utility vehicle standard options for the Philippine market are the dropside (low and high options), utility van (in short and long wheelbase formats), and  aluminum van — with conversion accessories that turn the model into a patrol van, ambulance, refrigerated van, camping vehicle, food truck, fire truck, and mobile service vehicle.

It measures 5,305 millimeters (mm) long and 1,795 mm wide — with a 3,085 mm wheelbase. However, the height varies from 1,711-2,011 mm and can carry  up to 1,125 kilograms (depending on the chosen design).

The model’s five standard options were displayed at the recently-concluded Toyota Road Trek 17.

Its engine options are the 2.4-liter 2GD-FTV diesel that has peak churn of 148 horsepower (hp) and 400 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque and the 2.0-liter 1TR-FE gasoline that can max output of 137 hp and 183 Nm.

The diesel-powered mill can be had in six-speed automatic or a five-speed manual gearbox while the gasoline-propelled version only comes in five-speed manual transmission.

Amenities inside the vehicle’s cab are the urethane steering wheel, a seven-inch display (double din audio system) paired with two speakers, and two cup holders.

In addition, the next-generation Toyota Tamaraw is equipped with airbags, as well as disc and drum brakes for the front and rear wheels with anti-lock braking system and electronic brakeforce distribution.

The said vehicle is being offered via 10-percent low down payment or extended loan term up to 84 months under Toyota Financial Services’ “Kabuhayan on Wheels Financing” term.

Lastly, the next-generation Toyota Tamaraw is packaged with the following warranty coverages:

• Bumper-to-bumper warranty: 100,000 kilometers or 36 months
• Rear body conversion: 20,000-100,000 kilometers or 12-36 months

To note, the next-generation Toyota Tamaraw was first unveiled locally in August 2023 during the company’s 35th-anniversary celebration. It was formally presented by no less than Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) Chairman Akio Toyoda. On the said event, the nameplate was seen in modern public utility vehicle and drift truck configurations.
