Those wagons are indestructible. I drove one in Med School, I even used it for long travels to Samar on dirt roads. In 2013 typhoon Yolanda drowned it in storm surge and an uprooted mango tree fell on it. We left it alone for two months, but after draining it and replacing some parts, damn i was still able to use the car until I graduated med school. Great memories.
Before my father was the one driving the Tamrraw FX. Now because of his age I his son is the one driving fx. Uphills? Not a problem at all. Easy for Tamarraw FX. Not built for speed but for endurance and versatility of all types of terrains. Its been big part of my life like he's the 2nd me. Like the Tamarraw isnt complete without me or the driver.
We also had a Tamaraw FX in the past but it was eventually retired and scrapped for good and later replaced due to age, corrosion, and poor maintenance. It was a standard wagon diesel version with no aircons except in the front part, vinyl seats, steel wheels, radio/cassete type entertainment system with 2 speakers and no power steering at all. It was riding like an owner type jeep.
That’s part of the charm hahaha! Kidding aside, finding one in good condition and restored now might make it an interesting car in the future despite it being common today
@@KyleLiongCars yes sir, and i noticed na intact pa rin ang conduction stickers ng FX at yung sticker ng Toyota Quezon Ave which is i think, pretty common pa rin sa mga Tamaraw FX nowadays. Mayron akong 2014 Vios ngayon and if i can still fit another car sa garahe namin (which is di ko sure kung kaya pa dahil may Toyota Vios at Kia Stonic kami) i would buy the gas guzzling gasoline variant. Sobrang nostalgia talaga. More power sa channel nyo sir :)
@@KyleLiongCars sa amin po, bali 3rd owner na kami (yung 1st and 2nd owner is mga nakababatang kapatid ng lolo ko), marami na kaming napuntahan na lugar na FX ang gamit namin. I remember one time na gamit namin yun from Mandaluyong City to Catmon, Cebu. Maliliit pa kami nun pero memorable parin. Unfortunately, nagkaron sya ng major problem na kinailangan ibaba yung makina tapos napabayaan nalang kaya ibinenta nalang namin as scrap :(

The All-New Tamaraw FX will be based on the IMV-0/Rangga Concept.
mags are always one of the first upgrades in a tamaraw fx, its like a free 2-3'' lift and the bigger tires help with ride comfort. you should have tried to find the 2c or 3c turbo diesel to review cause you can feel the difference with the turbo (it also helps with the sound problem inside in a way cause the turbo whistle fills the interior and personally i like the sound of a turbo) factorywise i think it outputs 75-80 hp but you can squeeze more horsepower and fun off the block if you plan to invest on it (i have the 2c turbo one and the engine block was bored, i have no idea what its horsepower is now (i forgot hehe as the previous owner was the one who had it bored and i dont think he told me) but its ok enough to keep up with modern suvs in normal driving conditions and overtaking small cars in uphills even while i have to haul sacks of vegetables in the back from time to time) Not to mention after riding the heck out of it youll still have a big smile on your face when fuelling up cause this thing has one of the most friendliest fuel economy for its age :) but in the long run id just take something like the innova in terms of comfort or driving somewhere like to the lowlands or around the expressway, (i find the fx is fun to drive around in baguio/benguet cause its cold here by default, but in the lowlands i find its uncomfortable inside cause its a microwave if you take it to the lowlands even if its just in la union even with the aircon to the max, a good window tint helps block the heat i guess ) nevertheless yes the standard engine is weak but ive never seen one struggle to climb a small hill to the point it has to camp 1st gear like in this video so i was abit surprised, here in benguet there are many c engines that range from standards to kapon (removing the factory turbo for some reason) but they still climb while hauling crops with gutted interiors and toploads hahaha. either you didnt build momentum or didnt rev high enough before shifting or maybe you did but didnt shift it fast enough so the flywheel lost momentum during the gear change... i like the video though, its got a doug demuro vibe to it only its the philippines version, hoping to see more content from this channel :)
Thank you very much for the input!! I'm glad you liked the content :) I'm quite intrigued though as to why anyone would think of removing the turbos???? I get it if it's a supercharger cause it's belt driven, so might eat up fuel economy, but turbos are a big question mark for me haha Also, I totally agree with the AC system lacking so much. This car I reviewed has pretty great new 3M tint, and yet despite that, I still find myself sweating at times, except when cruising at higher speeds.
@@KyleLiongCars i have no idea aswell with the turbo deletes cause theres no reason to do so , my guess is that maybe theres no budget to repair the turbo if it breaks but in the case of cars like the fx with a little tinkering to accommodate the delete it will be weaker but it will run normally as throttle is manually operated, unlike modern cars with ecu that if you delete the turbo the ecu will have problems in terms of detecting boost which can throw off sensors and gearing which is why turbo deletes arent an option with newer cars hehe, its either replace the turbo or get the ecu mapped which can be costly in their case
@@KyleLiongCars indeed, when i drive it i feel like its an extension of my body hehe, step on the clutch and shift a gear and you can feel the entire transmission under your palm and foot work especially if youll accidentaly grind the gears hahaha 😂 step on the gas and you can feel the throttle open or the differential whine and vibrate if the rpm is too low for that gear haha, though eventually when new laws mandate this and that the fx will soon be completely phased out from the road along with others such as the revo or adventure :( so until that time comes i dont think il ever change mines unless i really have to, in the meantimes il just enjoy driving a simple yet amazing machine 😇
The Toyota Tamaraw FX was in 90s to 2000s as the third generation Kijang in Philippines but in 1998 they launch fourth gen Kijang callee Tamaraw FX Revo
Love it so much, i'm here from Indonesia use Toyota kijang as daily driver, i love the Philippines version because it has a diesel engine and we are here doesnt have it
@@KyleLiongCars yes for this kijang version just petrol 1.5 and 1.8 litre , but for the version after this, it has a diesel and petrol engine, i really love it
The first motorized vehicle I was able to move and drive around the village. The hard clutch, heavy steering, the hand crank windows, lack of safety features and the wind noise at highway speeds. Kids have it easy these days.
Yes, compared to the 69 hp, even with 9 adult passengers, you can still overtake without needing to downshift. I do have a problem with the way it rides so stiff when I'm alone😂😂😂
we own one this time and its really a good car. i even think that its not since its an old model but with some compliments here about the car made me feel good about that we have this model
We had 3 Tamaraw FX when I was in HS in the 90s because we supplied a lot of stuff for SM back when local suppliers was still a thing haha, sadly everything is sourced in China nowadays.
In Indonesia………this model trim is the top-of-the-line Grand Extra the equivalent of our GL Deluxe here almost the same as our version inside and out with the exception of Power Windows (which its Indonesian equivalent packs) It could have been good back then……if that option was included or available in our Tamaraw FX back then (specially in this high-end GL 2.0L Diesel Trim) It might be the very 1st AUV to have one
@@KyleLiongCars yahright…………it’s because mostly……….good stuff and loaded options always comes from the main home market first And will just vary to which those specs and features will be available, depending on the export market a particular product and model will be in
@@KyleLiongCars yah right………I have even hoped for it even in the final model version of this particular Tamaraw FX….. The 1997 to 1998 1.8L GL Deluxe gas………the one with a color-keyed body finish and a 6-spoke 14 inch alloy rims (it’s top of the line back then) It has already got a few more goodies back then… -newer steering wheel design (now with a Toyota Logo) -standard power locks -new waterfall horizontal grille design (one like the Jeep brand’s) -front cup holders Almost as complete……….already good enough to get power windows back then (even just for the front occupants) Since back then…….it already got new rivals too…….the Isuzu HiLander and the 1st Mitsubishi Adventure (Both of which already got more advanced goodies like power windows,central locks, power mirrors and yet……rear wiper[at least for the Adventure])
@@KyleLiongCars I could only wish back then…….that this generation of the Tamaraw FX was a bit generously specced that time too….. Now that it already got new rivals too back then………the Isuzu HiLander (specially the SLX trim) and the very first Mitsubishi Adventure (already loaded with power features that time in the form of the top-end GLS)
In Indonesia there is the most luxurious version, but it is made by other car coach, with the name Kijang Jantan Executive, it has more features than the Toyota version. With 4 power windows, plastic molded door trims, dashboards with wood panels, central utility box, reclining adjustments for back seat, rear center armrest with cup holders, rear defogger and rear wiper. The only drawback is that it doesn't have a tachometer, and it's have same price with the upper version from Toyota
interesting. Because in Indonesia, "Kijang (1987-1996 version)" sold in one engine variant only : gasoline. Maybe if Isuzu delayed the "Panther" project, Toyota can be sold in diesel engine variant. FYI, Toyota and Isuzu in Indonesia operated by Astra International
@@KyleLiongCars Astra International is independent automotive group in Indonesia. They owned and operated automotive product, such as Toyota and Isuzu. Formely, Isuzu sold a "Panther" (aka Sportivo in your country) and high market leaders, because Toyota Kijang sold in one engine variant only. In 1997, Toyota New Kijang sold with new generation and new engine (Available in Diesel Engine). Now, Panther discontinued in Indonesia due out of dated model and emission regulation by government, so Kijang back to mid-MPV leader market (Diesel)
@@KyleLiongCars yes. Diesel engine are more efficiency, more torque, heavy duty, and low maintenance. This is reason Kijang in next generation available with diesel engine. Kijang with gasoline engine reported very risk if cross flooded-road, due to air filter and alternator position. And main problem is high consumption of fuel (Gasoline only reach 7-8 km by 1L , meanwhile Diesel can reach 11-14 km by 1L fuel)
We had a 1995 diesel toyota fx but broke down now we have a diesel 1996 toyota fx i miss the 1995 fx. The inside of that fx looks like the 1996 version.
My family had a metallic gray Standard diesel model back in the day, i.e the one with steelies and lacked the fancy trim and dashboard. Dad had the Tamaraw engine swapped to a 2C turbo sourced off a JDM Town Ace or something, and he claims that the 2.0 litre turbo diesel could run just as fast as a 2.7 litre diesel of similar vintage. Good times!
In Indonesia called Toyota Kijang Super & Kijang Grand Extra only gasoline 1500 CC 5K 1986-1995 ( Kijang Super 1986-1992 Toyota Pull Press Body in 1992 Toyota Original Body called Toyota Kijang Grand Extra) and gasoline 1800CC 7K 1995-1996
This is the 'GL' variant top of the line. Do you have information if the 'Deluxe' variant had power steering? Deluxe was introduced sometime in 1995 or 1996. It was slotted between the Wagon (later called 'Standard') and GL; it looked like the 'Standard' with the same dashboard but had fully covered headliners unlike the Standard, and had body stickers and the same inverted 'V' steering wheel of the GL that's why I thought it might had power steering or at least had an option for it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be ergonomic to drive it if it only had basic rack and pinion steering. I have fond childhood memories of this car. Our first car was the Standard bought in 1997 with no power steering. We took it all the way to Baguio and down to Legazpi with no issues. At one point we converted it into an 'FX' taxi and hired a driver and it also served as my service car with the front seat alloted to me (until kids were banned to be seated at the front row for safety reasons) when I was in kindergarten at QC. In the 1990s, almost every family with an FX wanted to earn extra income. It was the 'Uber' that time and was truly revolutionary as it bridged the gap between the taxi and the jeepney. It was actually technically illegal back in the 90's and merely tolerated by the LTFRB; most FX taxis back then didn't follow a standard livery hence they were called 'colorums' as they could be any color. Just slap a cardboard sign of your destination in the windshield and you're good to go. When the LTFRB finally regulated them, they were required to have standardized white livery. They later evolved into the UV Express today. I remember sometime in 1999 our FX was involved in a car accident with the front completely crumpled, but nevertheless it was still running. We had it repaired at Toyota Cubao and I remember seeing the new Revo and Corolla lovelife now in the showroom. At the back is their warehouse, with hundreds of Tamaraw FXs still not sold, and at a distance our FX being repaired. I also remember jumping in joy when our FX was finally delivered to our house good as new. There were actually 3 engine choices for the Tamaraw FX. Initially in 1993 it was available in 2C 2.0 liter diesel and 5K 1.5 liter petrol. In 1996 the 5K engine was phased out and replaced by the 7K 1.8 liter petrol, still using carburator. The GL variant had steel wheels with hub caps, but sometime in 1996 they offered 14" alloy wheels. Toyota also offered an option to add wood panelling for the dashboard but it was merely a sticker. Production of the Tamaraw FX lasted until 2002 due to high demand from taxi operators (the Corolla lovelife also lasted until 2005 and overlapped with the Corolla Altis from 2001, until the Vios J variant was introduced in 2005), so it effectively overlapped with the Revo introduced from 1998. From 2000 to 2002, by then only the Standard and HSPU variants were offered, with the Standard only available in petrol and HSPU in diesel, as Toyota did not want to cannibalize sales of its Revo DLX and GL diesel variants which were also popular as UV Express vehicles. In Indonesia, this was the 3rd generation Kijang, they were the first country to get it in 1986. I recall during a career orientation back in college, a mechanical engineer introduced himself to us as one of the designers of the 3rd gen Kijang/Tamaraw FX. He went back and forth to Jakarta and Tokyo in the early 80's working with the Indonesian and Japanese engineers and designers. They wanted to design a basic utility vehicle in wagon form, cheaper than an SUV but just as tough as the Landcruiser capable of running in bad roads typical in developing countries and with higher seating capacity for extended families. The 1st and 2nd gen Kijang (known here as the Tamaraw in the 70's and 80's) were basically pickups and not family-oriented vehicles. The resulting vehicle perfectly appealed to the Indonesian or Filipino family, and this was the birth of the 'AUV.' So yeah it's birthplace is actually Indonesia. Although I remember in a 1996 television ad where Toyota marketed it as "Dito isinilang, dito naghahari, ipinagmamalaki ng Toyota." But the marketing eventually paid off as the best-selling model solidified Toyota Motor Philippines into the No. 1 car manufacturer in the country. In Indonesia, their top of the line variant introduced in 1992 slotted above our GL variant had power windows and power locks as standard. Before the 4th generation Kijang (Revo) was introduced in 1997, it was even offered in 4-speed AT. This just to show that in the 1990's before the Asian Financial Crisis broke out, Indonesian families already had higher per capita income than us. This is still manifested today as our local-spec Innova has the base J variant while the highest end variant is the V. In Indonesia, their base variant is the G and their highest is the Q.
I'm not quite sure on this, however as per what my father recalls (having worked in Toyota Q Ave as his first job in the past), as long as it had a tachometer, it had power steering as well. I tried researching on the etymology of "colorum," but can't seem to find it. Do you mean that it came from the idea of not having standardized colors? As mentioned in the video, I too have fond memories of our FX that was sadly carnapped years back. It sure was barebones, but growing up in a middle class family at that time, a car was a car, and my passion for cars have started at a very young age. I couldn't quite remember if it was our FX or our Revo GL that I would oftentimes ride on the lap of our driver on the way to school and he would let me "steer" the car. As for the Innova Q, what does it add to our V?
I could be mistaken about my definition of "colorum," as it was only based on my observation. Not really a Latin term, but a slang used by the LTFRB. Their definition is "A private motor vehicle operating as a PUV but without proper authority from the LTFRB," so yeah I thought it could still be of any color operating as a PUV. But the colorum term could be based on the plate number as well, if white/green instead of yellow but operating as a PUV then it's colorum. Yes the Deluxe did not have a tachometer as it had the same boxy dashboard instead of the aerodynamic dashboard of the GL shown here. But it had the same inverted V steering wheel hence I thought it might had power steering as well. In the Revo, even the base DLX had power steering (it was standard across the board) but the DLX didn't have a tachometer either. The Corolla bigbody from 1992 had power steering for the XE and GLi variants, but not for the base XL. But when the Corolla lovelife came out in 1997, power steering was now standard across all variants. The XL did not have a tachometer either. Not sure about the Indonesian Q variant. It could have some aesthetic additions over the V. But in the 1st gen Innova (5th gen Kijang), the Q variant was available with the more powerful 2.7 VVT-i petrol. The current gen in Indonesia now have variants standardized in 2.4 D-4D turbodiesel and 2.0 dual VVT-i.
Dope coverage of cars we don’t have here in California.. specially those model that is specifically interested for sout East Asian market.. have you ever seen a vw powered jeep ? I have it here for to enjoy
Our fx was carnapped too back then 95 top of the line with the anemic 5k, but with the help of the angkan we recovered it, and we are going to keep it since its our lolos favorite car, our plans is to convert it and put a better turbo diesel engine, preferably a newer age toyota engine, aiming for an innova engine tbh plus Better differential ratio, currently its functioning but its a gas guzzler!, Much more higher consumption vs a 1uz lol, planning to get an lc80 due to your review, toyotas for life!.
Glad you got yours back. It's a shame ours never saw the light of day even again :(( I'm curious, have you already researched whether the Innova engines will fit in the engine bay or the FX? That sounds like a great idea hehe Also, yes the LC80 is pretty amazing. I am looking to replace my LC90 with it or maybe an LC100
My cousin did, firewal may move a few mm back, battery delete, but its do-able, theres even a 1uzfe FX before, sad to hear about your fx. Had a toyota crown and a toyota chaser before, but now i really want something with high clearance. I havent seen any iron pig lc here, as well as the 60series.
@@windseer55 The Crown is also another thing I'm looking at. The mid 90s one. As long as it's a Royal Saloon in Automatic. DAMN! A 1UZFE??? How did they even hahaha amazing
Was planning on putting a 1jz-t with 55ktms on the crown before, someone was selling me for 65k php, with free stuff, which is a steal tbh. I regret not buying that motor and auto trans till this day. Was going to make it a vip cruiser. Dogdish, white walls, 1.5" drop. And chromed trims with bronze brown paint scheme. Sadly had to sell it due to emergencies.
@@KyleLiongCars agree. I remember those videos when I was a kid where a VW Beetle had so many people going out. This is the same, a true people mover. Also the bull bar is epic, its like a MadMax feature of the car.
@@KyleLiongCars maybe sketchy wasn't the right word but early toyota diesels engines felt underpowered and were likely to be smoke belchers until they fixed it on later models
@@JoeXLee oh hahah for sure. This FX was belching... not horribly... but belching nonetheless hahaha btw sir, please don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already :D
I think the small 4-cylinder Toyota diesels back then were not as reliable as the gasoline engines from Toyota. I had a gasoline FX before, but I also had experience with the 3L and 2L Hilux. Honestly, those engines were not as well built as Toyota's gas engines and other brands diesel engines like the Mitsubishi 4D56 and especially the bulletproof 4JB1 from Isuzu. The 3L in particular was prone to cracking heads when it overheat wherein the 4JB1 would just need to idle a bit and it would continue trucking along. It was also not as fuel efficient and powerful as the Mitsus and Isuzus, but atleast it was quieter than the extremely clattery Isuzu. That's on top of the other problems I had with the 3L engine (but still better than the even more problematic Mazda WL though). I hope the Toyota 2C isn't as problematic as the 3L. Anyway, if I were to choose between the diesel FX, Hilander, and Adventure, I'd still go for FX even if it would be less reliable than others because I personally found it to be more spacious and comfortable, which is important on a family car.
Personally I don't have too much experience with them, but so far, the owner tells me that it still hasn't had any overheating issues. I think it's not just the engine that Toyota's reliability comes from. Probably the sum of all its parts that are just all reliable :)
@@KyleLiongCars need ko po ba sir na i-drain muna ung gas tank, kasi premium ung laman nun tapos po magre-regular na ko or ok lng po ba sya na mahaluan ng regular. Thanks sir in advance
No problem maghalo. Wala namang masama maglagay ng premium sa FX. Sayang nga lang sa pera kasi wala namang dagdag na power. Pero safe naman siya gamitin 100%
Hi, sana mapansin mo po.. ask ko lang saan kayo Ok na magpa repair? or mekaniko? hanga ako sayo, hindi ako bata pero babae ako pamana ng namatay ko papa sa akin, Im trying to maintain this
That’s sad to hear knowing your fx was stolen back in the day. My old pops had a 1.8 diesel before and thats where I learned how to drive. One time I was applying for college and the window mechanism got stuck in the parking lot, never got up. So i just went ahead and left the fx thinking no one will try to steal it even if I leave the window and door open 😅 Glad to see it back in one piece in the parking 😂 This video is so nostalgic man! 🤜

@@KyleLiongCars indeed, when i drive it i feel like its an extension of my body hehe, step on the clutch and shift a gear and you can feel the entire transmission under your palm and foot work especially if youll accidentaly grind the gears hahaha 😂 step on the gas and you can feel the throttle open or the differential whine and vibrate if the rpm is too low for that gear haha,
though eventually when new laws mandate this and that the fx will soon be completely phased out from the road along with others such as the revo or adventure :( so until that time comes i dont think il ever change mines unless i really have to, in the meantimes il just enjoy driving a simple yet amazing machine 😇
The Toyota Tamaraw FX was in 90s to 2000s as the third generation Kijang in Philippines but in 1998 they launch fourth gen Kijang callee Tamaraw FX Revo
Love it so much, i'm here from Indonesia use Toyota kijang as daily driver, i love the Philippines version because it has a diesel engine and we are here doesnt have it
What?? No diesels at all?
@@KyleLiongCars yes for this kijang version just petrol 1.5 and 1.8 litre , but for the version after this, it has a diesel and petrol engine, i really love it
The first motorized vehicle I was able to move and drive around the village. The hard clutch, heavy steering, the hand crank windows, lack of safety features and the wind noise at highway speeds. Kids have it easy these days.
Truly
My grandpa have an FX i used to ride it till it is no longer in use (we still have it) when you show us the inteiroir i had flashbacks
What’s its condition now?
@@KyleLiongCars well its not being in use since it did not had any new parts for a long time hope we can restore it and still use it
You can still easily get parts for it! Hope you get to restore it soon :)
I love my Tamaraw Fx.Its old but I love it.
Reliable choice
President BBM and Toyota Motor Corporation are in talks of the return of the comeback of this Toyota Tamaraw FX.
Yes
@@KyleLiongCars And also the return of the Toyota Mini Cruiser to be used as Military Vehicle in the Philippines.
My grandfather actually has the 2.0 turbo which produces 85hp or 63 KW
Does it feel decently powerful?
Yes, compared to the 69 hp, even with 9 adult passengers, you can still overtake without needing to downshift. I do have a problem with the way it rides so stiff when I'm alone😂😂😂
That’s tough suspension right there hahaha
Even after so many years, the AC still blows cold. That's Toyota for you...
My friend just had his whole system replaced on this car haha
we own one this time and its really a good car. i even think that its not since its an old model but with some compliments here about the car made me feel good about that we have this model
It’s indestructible :D
I miss the tamaraw fx, we used to have the same car back in 1995-2000
We had 3 Tamaraw FX when I was in HS in the 90s because we supplied a lot of stuff for SM back when local suppliers was still a thing haha, sadly everything is sourced in China nowadays.
:(
Some say: "It's like an old Kalashnikov rifle". Reliable.🤙
Hahaha yes

We still have the 1.5 GL tamaraw but now it's modified with big carb and Heathers , not that fast but believe me or not it sounds like a race car.
I’ve been telling the owner to put in a 5VZ-FE in this then supercharge it 😂😂

Remember ko po tuloy toyota liteace namin 1996 model tapos meron bull bar sa harap same na same ang design yon na sa tamaraw
Miss ko na rin meron rin kami LiteAce dati
I want to buy toyota tamaraw fx if how much?
@@victorpalking7162 You can buy one for around 100-150K now :)
Mazda Boy......yung LiteAce nyo ay yung GXL?
ung may power windows and power locks?
The Toyota Tamaraw FX was launched in 1990 as a high side pickup and in 1993 as a wagon. THE Tamaraw fX never had airbags
In Indonesia………this model trim is the top-of-the-line Grand Extra
the equivalent of our GL Deluxe here
almost the same as our version inside and out
with the exception of Power Windows (which its Indonesian equivalent packs)
It could have been good back then……if that option was included or available in our Tamaraw FX back then (specially in this high-end GL 2.0L Diesel Trim)
It might be the very 1st AUV to have one
It's really quite interesting how every single country gets different trims and features. Kinda sad this one didn't get power windows
@@KyleLiongCars yahright…………it’s because mostly……….good stuff and loaded options always comes from the main home market first
And will just vary to which those specs and features will be available, depending on the export market a particular product and model will be in
Depends also on the buying capacity of the target market I guess
@@KyleLiongCars yah right………I have even hoped for it even in the final model version of this particular Tamaraw FX…..
The 1997 to 1998 1.8L GL Deluxe gas………the one with a color-keyed body finish and a 6-spoke 14 inch alloy rims (it’s top of the line back then)
It has already got a few more goodies back then…
-newer steering wheel design (now with a Toyota Logo)
-standard power locks
-new waterfall horizontal grille design (one like the Jeep brand’s)
-front cup holders
Almost as complete……….already good enough to get power windows back then (even just for the front occupants)
Since back then…….it already got new rivals too…….the Isuzu HiLander and the 1st Mitsubishi Adventure
(Both of which already got more advanced goodies like power windows,central locks, power mirrors and yet……rear wiper[at least for the Adventure])
@@KyleLiongCars I could only wish back then…….that this generation of the Tamaraw FX was a bit generously specced that time too…..
Now that it already got new rivals too back then………the Isuzu HiLander (specially the SLX trim) and the very first Mitsubishi Adventure (already loaded with power features that time in the form of the top-end GLS)
In Indonesia there is the most luxurious version, but it is made by other car coach, with the name Kijang Jantan Executive, it has more features than the Toyota version. With 4 power windows, plastic molded door trims, dashboards with wood panels, central utility box, reclining adjustments for back seat, rear center armrest with cup holders, rear defogger and rear wiper. The only drawback is that it doesn't have a tachometer, and it's have same price with the upper version from Toyota
Whoa amazing
interesting. Because in Indonesia, "Kijang (1987-1996 version)" sold in one engine variant only : gasoline. Maybe if Isuzu delayed the "Panther" project, Toyota can be sold in diesel engine variant. FYI, Toyota and Isuzu in Indonesia operated by Astra International
So I’ve heard. The PH just seems to sell cars easier if they come in diesels. What’s Astra International?
@@KyleLiongCars Astra International is independent automotive group in Indonesia. They owned and operated automotive product, such as Toyota and Isuzu. Formely, Isuzu sold a "Panther" (aka Sportivo in your country) and high market leaders, because Toyota Kijang sold in one engine variant only. In 1997, Toyota New Kijang sold with new generation and new engine (Available in Diesel Engine). Now, Panther discontinued in Indonesia due out of dated model and emission regulation by government, so Kijang back to mid-MPV leader market (Diesel)
So overall diesels are performing better too in general?
@@KyleLiongCars yes. Diesel engine are more efficiency, more torque, heavy duty, and low maintenance. This is reason Kijang in next generation available with diesel engine. Kijang with gasoline engine reported very risk if cross flooded-road, due to air filter and alternator position. And main problem is high consumption of fuel (Gasoline only reach 7-8 km by 1L , meanwhile Diesel can reach 11-14 km by 1L fuel)
@@KaliandraKali I see. Thanks for providing that info
We had a 1995 diesel toyota fx but broke down now we have a diesel 1996 toyota fx i miss the 1995 fx. The inside of that fx looks like the 1996 version.
What's the difference of the 1995 with the 1996?
My family had a metallic gray Standard diesel model back in the day, i.e the one with steelies and lacked the fancy trim and dashboard. Dad had the Tamaraw engine swapped to a 2C turbo sourced off a JDM Town Ace or something, and he claims that the 2.0 litre turbo diesel could run just as fast as a 2.7 litre diesel of similar vintage. Good times!
Sir my bagong model ba ngaun ng tamaraw FX? My ngbebenta p b ng tamaraw fx ngaun o 2nd hand na lng?

Thanks for the added info on the Kijang :)
Fun Fact: The headlight design of the face lifted Tamaraw FX/Kijang are borrowed from Toyota Crown's (S120) headlights!
interesting. Are they interchangeable?
This is the 'GL' variant top of the line. Do you have information if the 'Deluxe' variant had power steering? Deluxe was introduced sometime in 1995 or 1996. It was slotted between the Wagon (later called 'Standard') and GL; it looked like the 'Standard' with the same dashboard but had fully covered headliners unlike the Standard, and had body stickers and the same inverted 'V' steering wheel of the GL that's why I thought it might had power steering or at least had an option for it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be ergonomic to drive it if it only had basic rack and pinion steering.
I have fond childhood memories of this car. Our first car was the Standard bought in 1997 with no power steering. We took it all the way to Baguio and down to Legazpi with no issues. At one point we converted it into an 'FX' taxi and hired a driver and it also served as my service car with the front seat alloted to me (until kids were banned to be seated at the front row for safety reasons) when I was in kindergarten at QC. In the 1990s, almost every family with an FX wanted to earn extra income. It was the 'Uber' that time and was truly revolutionary as it bridged the gap between the taxi and the jeepney. It was actually technically illegal back in the 90's and merely tolerated by the LTFRB; most FX taxis back then didn't follow a standard livery hence they were called 'colorums' as they could be any color. Just slap a cardboard sign of your destination in the windshield and you're good to go. When the LTFRB finally regulated them, they were required to have standardized white livery. They later evolved into the UV Express today. I remember sometime in 1999 our FX was involved in a car accident with the front completely crumpled, but nevertheless it was still running. We had it repaired at Toyota Cubao and I remember seeing the new Revo and Corolla lovelife now in the showroom. At the back is their warehouse, with hundreds of Tamaraw FXs still not sold, and at a distance our FX being repaired. I also remember jumping in joy when our FX was finally delivered to our house good as new.
There were actually 3 engine choices for the Tamaraw FX. Initially in 1993 it was available in 2C 2.0 liter diesel and 5K 1.5 liter petrol. In 1996 the 5K engine was phased out and replaced by the 7K 1.8 liter petrol, still using carburator. The GL variant had steel wheels with hub caps, but sometime in 1996 they offered 14" alloy wheels. Toyota also offered an option to add wood panelling for the dashboard but it was merely a sticker. Production of the Tamaraw FX lasted until 2002 due to high demand from taxi operators (the Corolla lovelife also lasted until 2005 and overlapped with the Corolla Altis from 2001, until the Vios J variant was introduced in 2005), so it effectively overlapped with the Revo introduced from 1998. From 2000 to 2002, by then only the Standard and HSPU variants were offered, with the Standard only available in petrol and HSPU in diesel, as Toyota did not want to cannibalize sales of its Revo DLX and GL diesel variants which were also popular as UV Express vehicles.
In Indonesia, this was the 3rd generation Kijang, they were the first country to get it in 1986. I recall during a career orientation back in college, a mechanical engineer introduced himself to us as one of the designers of the 3rd gen Kijang/Tamaraw FX. He went back and forth to Jakarta and Tokyo in the early 80's working with the Indonesian and Japanese engineers and designers. They wanted to design a basic utility vehicle in wagon form, cheaper than an SUV but just as tough as the Landcruiser capable of running in bad roads typical in developing countries and with higher seating capacity for extended families. The 1st and 2nd gen Kijang (known here as the Tamaraw in the 70's and 80's) were basically pickups and not family-oriented vehicles. The resulting vehicle perfectly appealed to the Indonesian or Filipino family, and this was the birth of the 'AUV.' So yeah it's birthplace is actually Indonesia. Although I remember in a 1996 television ad where Toyota marketed it as "Dito isinilang, dito naghahari, ipinagmamalaki ng Toyota." But the marketing eventually paid off as the best-selling model solidified Toyota Motor Philippines into the No. 1 car manufacturer in the country.
In Indonesia, their top of the line variant introduced in 1992 slotted above our GL variant had power windows and power locks as standard. Before the 4th generation Kijang (Revo) was introduced in 1997, it was even offered in 4-speed AT. This just to show that in the 1990's before the Asian Financial Crisis broke out, Indonesian families already had higher per capita income than us. This is still manifested today as our local-spec Innova has the base J variant while the highest end variant is the V. In Indonesia, their base variant is the G and their highest is the Q.
I'm not quite sure on this, however as per what my father recalls (having worked in Toyota Q Ave as his first job in the past), as long as it had a tachometer, it had power steering as well.
I tried researching on the etymology of "colorum," but can't seem to find it. Do you mean that it came from the idea of not having standardized colors?
As mentioned in the video, I too have fond memories of our FX that was sadly carnapped years back. It sure was barebones, but growing up in a middle class family at that time, a car was a car, and my passion for cars have started at a very young age. I couldn't quite remember if it was our FX or our Revo GL that I would oftentimes ride on the lap of our driver on the way to school and he would let me "steer" the car.
As for the Innova Q, what does it add to our V?
I could be mistaken about my definition of "colorum," as it was only based on my observation. Not really a Latin term, but a slang used by the LTFRB. Their definition is "A private motor vehicle operating as a PUV but without proper authority from the LTFRB," so yeah I thought it could still be of any color operating as a PUV. But the colorum term could be based on the plate number as well, if white/green instead of yellow but operating as a PUV then it's colorum.
Yes the Deluxe did not have a tachometer as it had the same boxy dashboard instead of the aerodynamic dashboard of the GL shown here. But it had the same inverted V steering wheel hence I thought it might had power steering as well. In the Revo, even the base DLX had power steering (it was standard across the board) but the DLX didn't have a tachometer either. The Corolla bigbody from 1992 had power steering for the XE and GLi variants, but not for the base XL. But when the Corolla lovelife came out in 1997, power steering was now standard across all variants. The XL did not have a tachometer either.
Not sure about the Indonesian Q variant. It could have some aesthetic additions over the V. But in the 1st gen Innova (5th gen Kijang), the Q variant was available with the more powerful 2.7 VVT-i petrol. The current gen in Indonesia now have variants standardized in 2.4 D-4D turbodiesel and 2.0 dual VVT-i.
It looks like a 90s hilux and landcruser combined, looks awesome
Similar design language from the time haha

Our fx was carnapped too back then 95 top of the line with the anemic 5k, but with the help of the angkan we recovered it, and we are going to keep it since its our lolos favorite car, our plans is to convert it and put a better turbo diesel engine, preferably a newer age toyota engine, aiming for an innova engine tbh plus Better differential ratio, currently its functioning but its a gas guzzler!, Much more higher consumption vs a 1uz lol, planning to get an lc80 due to your review, toyotas for life!.
Glad you got yours back. It's a shame ours never saw the light of day even again :(( I'm curious, have you already researched whether the Innova engines will fit in the engine bay or the FX? That sounds like a great idea hehe
Also, yes the LC80 is pretty amazing. I am looking to replace my LC90 with it or maybe an LC100
My cousin did, firewal may move a few mm back, battery delete, but its do-able, theres even a 1uzfe FX before, sad to hear about your fx.

The old toyota diesels are kinda sketchy. We still own one with a 1.8l gasoline engine and it runs great and the clutch is still smooth
Why sketchy? Did they have a lot of problems?
@@KyleLiongCars maybe sketchy wasn't the right word but early toyota diesels engines felt underpowered and were likely to be smoke belchers until they fixed it on later models
@@JoeXLee oh hahah for sure. This FX was belching... not horribly... but belching nonetheless hahaha
btw sir, please don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already :D
I think the small 4-cylinder Toyota diesels back then were not as reliable as the gasoline engines from Toyota. I had a gasoline FX before, but I also had experience with the 3L and 2L Hilux. Honestly, those engines were not as well built as Toyota's gas engines and other brands diesel engines like the Mitsubishi 4D56 and especially the bulletproof 4JB1 from Isuzu. The 3L in particular was prone to cracking heads when it overheat wherein the 4JB1 would just need to idle a bit and it would continue trucking along. It was also not as fuel efficient and powerful as the Mitsus and Isuzus, but atleast it was quieter than the extremely clattery Isuzu. That's on top of the other problems I had with the 3L engine (but still better than the even more problematic Mazda WL though).
I hope the Toyota 2C isn't as problematic as the 3L. Anyway, if I were to choose between the diesel FX, Hilander, and Adventure, I'd still go for FX even if it would be less reliable than others because I personally found it to be more spacious and comfortable, which is important on a family car.
Personally I don't have too much experience with them, but so far, the owner tells me that it still hasn't had any overheating issues.
I think it's not just the engine that Toyota's reliability comes from. Probably the sum of all its parts that are just all reliable :)
