The Covid-19 pandemic has undoubtedly limited our options for hitting the road. Nowadays, driving out only means going on essential trips, such as buying food, groceries, medicines, or household items.
There are some types of vehicles, however, that somehow allow this mind-numbing routine to be broken. These vehicles offer the design, toughness, power, and functionality to let the driver diverge from the usual roads onto paths less taken. The pick-up is one such vehicle type. Its design allows for a variety of uses, and the power beneath the hood is up to almost every task at hand.
This largely explains the reason for the growing popularity of pick-ups in the Philippines. Yes, SUVs are “maporma” (have striking looks), but pickups look bad-ass, and they walk the talk, and in the end, Pinoys love their all-around rock performers.
One of the more striking pick-ups that come to mind is Maxus Philippines’ T60, which, being longer and wider than others in its class, literally offers more of the pick-up experience for its owners.
Take Nino Sinco, a retired university lecturer who’s also a businessman and archery coach. He bought his T60 in October 2020, and has since gotten to enjoy the pick-up’s versatility, toughness, and ease of driving regardless of the road conditions.
Given Nino’s varied pursuits, his T60 has taken on its fair share of various cargo, from items related to his business to archery targets and stands. The T60’s upsized dimensions certainly provide Nino better comfort and capabilities to carry cargo in varying sizes and quantities whenever and wherever he needs.
Double dose
Pardon the metaphor, but just like the double dose of the vaccine, Nino wants not just one T60, but two.
Yes, he’s that impressed with the T60 that he’s considering buying another one, this time, he says, “for my daughter’s pet shop business.” Nino and his daughter realize that owning an all-around light commercial vehicle that can cater to both their home and business requirements just makes a lot of sense, and the T60 presents itself as the most reliable, dependable and cost-efficient vehicle option.
Isn’t he being too hasty in his decision? There still are a lot of pick-up options out there. Nope, Nino’s mind is set on another T60, especially after learning that, despite Maxus Philippines being a relative newcomer in the local automotive scene, the Maxus heritage has been running for 126 years, with origins tracing back to Britain and then gathering automotive expertise from around the world in the course of its history.
With a track record that goes back to the early years of the automobile, and now a multinational company managed in the Philippines by AC Motors, the automotive distribution and retail group of Ayala subsidiary AC Industrials, the Maxus brand comes with the level of experience that has given Nino the assurance that he and his daughter are, indeed, in good hands.
This confidence was reinforced when Nino needed his T60’s battery to be serviced. His dealership promptly sent technicians to his home to fix the problem. The T60 pick up, like all other Maxus models, is topped off with the optimal quality, efficiency and convenience of its aftersales products, services, and worry-free ownership highlighted by a 5-year warranty (or 100,000 kms whichever comes first) and a periodic maintenance service (PMS) interval schedule of the first 5,000 kms and every succeeding 15,000 kms (or once a year, whichever comes first). Furthermore, Maxus Philippines also offers a 24/7 Emergency Roadside Assistance (ERA).
And that’s what makes the T60 so ideal for Nino and his daughter. Even as they load whatever on the T60’s back, Maxus Philippines, in turn, has their back.
