I’m so happy that more older expats found the right women for them. I bet you, you’re much happier than you were originally from. Great family. Loving wife, cute daughter, & great grandma ma.
OMG !!!
Baby girl riding on the suitcase while you pulled it is the cutest.thimg !!
Used to do that with MY daughter as well 👍
I lived/worked in the PI from 1982-89 at one of the small bases (NCSP San Miguel) on Luzon. I have 2 interesting stories of used vehicle transactions I was involved in. I worked 7x12 so time was limited.
1) I took a 1/2 day off to go to Clark AB to buy an older VW squareback. I tried to inspect it completely, but time was short. I transacted the deal and started the 80 mile drive home. About 15 miles into the trip, I lost brakes completely. Turns out the brake manifold had previously cracked and was epoxied back together. Ended up driving the final 65 miles through PI traffic with no brakes depending on downshifting to slow down.
2) I bought a new 1983 Honda XL 600 from Subic, which became my primary transportation. I put about 45K hard miles on it before I blew a hole in the piston. Ended up buying the identical bike from a friend's estate after he was murdered. I used that bike for the final 2 years but kept my original one for parts (the piston and repair would have been about $350-400). At the end of my stay, when I sold the broken bike AS-IS but gave the buyer the info on the parts he needed. Instead, he had the piston brazed/repaired and resold the bike w/o telling the new buyer about the problem. That repair would not have lasted 10 miles for me, the way I rode.
Moral - Buying a used vehicle in the PI is a crap shot. You never know what kind of crafty patchwork has been done until it bites you in the butt.
Geehhh thats 1989 .
Its All Different NOW .
Youll be Surpprised. 😂
wow that's an upscale room that allows you to cook meals and breakfast on them that's awesome! first time viewing your channel I'm liking the content

Awesome! Thank you!
New subscriber here because you live in the Philippines
Welcome aboard.
Bro 😎, I purchased mine same dealer, Pretty good peeps, I just needed a Multicab for Construction, Purchased Second hand, from there, No issues, Great little truck, Belus
Good deal. I am glad to hear that it has been a good truck for you.
I can’t believe that Tom can’t change the door handle, tell uncle to teach Tom how to use a screwdriver…
You guys are perfect couple anyways sorry for sticking my 5c …🤫
The old name of my country is Philippine Islands. The CORRECT name is the Philippines. Other countries that have changed their names are Soviet Union (now Russia), Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and Siam (now Thailand).
Don't forget Burma now Myanmar.
@@LivinginaTropicalParadise And the Ottoman Empire is now Turkey, England is now the United Kingdom, Persia is now Iran, Mesopotamia is now Iraq, and West Pakistan is now Bangladesh. And your OWN country probably had a former name that is now no longer used -- and gets corrected by its residents -- when they hear a visitor using the old name.
Never heard of Maxs!!..Good Food...Chicken and sweet and sour fish..
We live in Batangas and bought one a few months ago. Loads of space for our kids 2, 6 and 11, even with the baby seat in. They love sitting up that high and getting a better view of the scenery. We’ve taken it camping on beaches and up mountains. The 4x4 is fairly capable, even with the standard tyres. We will soon get knobblies and locking diffs would make it awesome. Hope you have as much fun with yours as we are👍🏼
Thank you Mark. I would like to have different tires on my truck as well.
What did your truck cost to buy?
Mine cost 1,160,000
@@LivinginaTropicalParadise Thank you ;)
I like how you daughter rides on the suitcase:)
Ya it is fun. Unfortunately the suitcase didn't like it much. The handle doesn't go down easily anymore. 😊
I’ll be buying a Toyota when I get there…but congratulations on your new beautiful truck….
Thank you!
The engine is have great power euro 4 engine with turbo
Great content enjoy your day out and your new truck fantastic we'll be looking for a truck or car too we're moving to tarlake city province our house is almost done being built beautiful paradise
Thank you and good luck on your house.
Awesome video just found your channel if you don’t mind me asking what is a Kia K 2500 run in the in the Philippines also like to four-wheel-drive nice truck
Hello. The cost of this 4x4 truck was P1,160,000
Subscribing as you stole my hair style and I love Bohol have not been able to return going to scratch around Vietnam until PH opens up. Good choice on Bohol its central location to travel southern PH
Lol thank you. Bohol 8s a nice place to be.
"We're gonna play frogger"? Yup i can relate to this..
lol
Your Daugther was very Cute/Beautiful & Adorable, may be a Future Miss Philippines Somrday,Who Knows Hehehee Stay Safe...
Thank you James. 😊
@@LivinginaTropicalParadise Your Welcome Sir,Stay Safe...
Reminds me when I stayed at Alicia Apartment when I stayed there, the Basketball Court was just below our room on the top floor, my only real complaint was the breakfast was often cold! Ayala Mall is a lovely place with the garden courtyard. I am hoping to return to Cebu this year but my Travel Counsellor keeps pointing out the Terriost threat has increased??
I'm new subscriber to your channel
Thank you. 😊
I am new to your channel nice looking truck 🛻 and lots of room
Thank you Dave.
Nice video. They did a nice job converting that chassis cab to a finished product. It seems pretty quiet for a diesel. One thing missing is the price for that nice truck (even a ballpark like "under PXX,XXX" would be helpful for anyone interested). For a 2022 it probably would not be cheap, but it would be nice to know how it compares with Toyota or the Ford Ranger. I would suspect it costs less.
Hello and thank you for the question.
I was going to get a Ford Ranger but like you mentioned they were more money than the K2500 Kia.
The price of the Kia was P1,160,000. The Ranger is about double that price.
@@LivinginaTropicalParadise That's pretty good for an AWD crew cab. Now you just have to get some removable jump seats for the bed ;)
@@LivinginaTropicalParadise at any price Kia a Korean car is a bad pick. A Toyota would be a much better pick, even a used Toyota is better then a new Korean car.
I agree. He’s not a dumb man. He did leave that out. And also the cost to ship it.
@@mike.p.1400 The truck cost P1,160,000 and shipping was about P5000.
❤
More video please
We are working in that 😊
More video more subscribers 🤣🤣
Your video popped up on my phone and I washed it and liked it and I just subscribed.. which island do you live on and how many power outages a week do you have? I will be there in a couple of months and I am looking for a place to live.. very nice truck and with the right tires it will do the trick with four wheel drive.. thanks for the video and all the information..
Hello Richard. Thanks for subscribing. We live in Bohol. As far as power outages we probably have one every two or three weeks. The power company has been working on the power poles though so we have had a few extra outages. When the power is out you can go to the restobars. They typically have generatorz.
New Filipino subscriber here enjoy while you stay here are you live alread in the Philippines ??
from left hand drive to rigth hand drive , , its puzzling.
The hotel good rate but small bed for couple
Yes, you think they start Christmas early in the US. We don't hold a candle to Philippines it's 3 months long there.
Four months actually! 😀
How did you pay for that truck?
MAX's is everywhere in PI
Please don’t forget to put your seatbelt! It’s the law
Great helpful topic!!!
Well intended criticism..... Annoying background noise first 2 1/2 minutes. It's very distracting and difficult the hear dialog..
It 8s common when recording out side. That and go pro cameras do not have good sound. I think my cheap cell phone does better. 🙂
@@LivinginaTropicalParadise I don't know anything about cameras and meant no disrespect. New subscriber.
No worry's, enjoy your day.
What kind of truck does Bob have in about how much did it cost.. I was reading those trucks are really inexpensive and get great gas mileage.. was Bob's truck air conditioned? Thanks
Hello. Bob has a multi cab. It is a Japanese truck.
You had to order it? I want yo buy a fortuner I’m American I’m thinking you are also can you use an American bank to finance you vehicle 🚗??
I’m currently living in California originally from San Remigio Cebu. I’m curious how much is that truck. Planning for my vacation in October and plan to buy a truck
Hello, in USD it is about 20,000.
Nice room you guys see in Cebu right??
How did the truck change to a right hand drive at the ferry port
The camera makes it look like that
Hi guys, happy for you and a new truck, can I get some of the spec's for that truck and price, more or less please, I'm looking for a truck in Thr Phillipines, if you can share some info it will be greatly appreciate, I'm back home in California, just come back last week! Thx's. And Congratulations
Hello Hector and thanks for the question. I am not sure what specs you are asking for but i can tell you this. It is called a double cab, What you and I would call a crew cab or a four door. It is tall, taller than most pickups. I used to own a F250 on 35s and this truck is every bit as tall. The ride is real soft and bouncy like the air suspension in a semi.. The interior is roomy. The rear seating area has more room than my former f250. The front of the cab has less room than the F250. It is a good truck.
@@LivinginaTropicalParadise price ?
P1,160,000.
Thanks for the vid. How tall are you? Would a 6'2" person be able to drive it comfortably?
Hello. I am 5 11. I have a friend who is 6 4 and fits ok.
@@LivinginaTropicalParadise Thanks for the replay, much appreciated.
A few observations...was the vehicle licensed before you drove of the lot?...@ 7:46 that guy blew you a kiss...only in the Philippines....
Yes the plate says registered.
I like to know that too.
Curious. Did you pay cash or finance it? It's very difficult for expats to get a bank loan. I don't have 18 to 20k to spend
if your budget is small & you don't plan on running out on the highway a Japan surplus mulitcab is hard to beat for the price.
Sir how come in the begining you were driving a left hand drive truck and at the end of the video you are driving on the Right hand drive🙂
That was the camera making it look like it was right hand drive.
Hi I'm looking to buy a car from the Philippines. What's the cost of exporting it?
Not like USA, where you get a full tank of fuel.
I prefer a stick but do they make those in automatic ?? I think that would be much easier for my girlfriend to learn to drive.
Hello, No they are only made in a stick shift.
Ate where's the video update
What video update miss? 😁
I was trying to ketch the name of the place what’s the name? My fiancé. She’s from Cebu one of these days we’ll go there I love to fret on that place it’s pretty nice 👍
What is the cost of this truck? Did I miss that?
How much did your new rig cost after all the upgrades? Shout out from Seattle
Hello! It P1,160,000 or about $20,000.
I love to drive my SUV ‘cause you can see everything better than a car the downside is my fuel have to be premium 😢I wonder if your fuel for you guys vehicle is cheaper!
My truck is diesel so not very cheap.
@@LivinginaTropicalParadise We are on the same boat 😁dang expensive gas for my LandRover
When you bought a new truck the dealer should fill up before you take home. Did you ask them?
I didnt ask but i barely got to the gas station lol.
Another question, is a 4 x 4 truck?
Hello, yes it is a 4x4
whats that creaking sound
I am not sure.
nice kia, how much was the price?
About 1.3 million
The main reason why watching videos is for prices you did not say no price of anything no boat ride vehicle motel nothing. The main reason I watches for prices
1.3 mm
Did you catch what she said? You said strip mall and she said oh no strip mall.. hehe.. in America we know what strip malls are but I do not think she does.. she probably thinks it is some American place full of strippers..hehe.. how many American dollars did it cost to fill your truck up? Did you reset your trip mileage to zero so you can check your gas mileage? I am a gun and car guy and I had to sell everything I had because I will be there in a couple of months and I know I cannot have guns but I can have little cars and little trucks and maybe big cars and big trucks because I really like your truck so far and I really like your channel. Thank you
Lol you are right. When I say strip mall she thinks it means strip club. I have told her the difference though.
It looks like it is getting 11.2 liters per kilometer or about 26 mpg. I am pleasantly surprised. I will check it again another time. Have a good night
@@LivinginaTropicalParadise thank you sir.. I really like that truck especially the way you sit up high in the cab like an American 3/4 or 1 ton... You can all just about anything on that truck.. what do you plan on hauling? Are you going into some kind of business? I will be watching.. thanks👍👍
Wow only one reverse light….
Yes! He says it is based off of the European standard.
Are vehicles cheaper, or same price in Philippines? I mean cheaper than the United States
Hello Dan. They are more expensive here than the US or other countries. For instance I looked at a convertible mustang a few years ago. It was about $80,000. The same car in the states was closer to 50 or maybe 55
How much did you pay for it 🤔
How much was the truck ?
Hello, it was 1,160,000
Nice truck how much do those run? That’s what I want to buy when I get there. What model is it?
It cost P1,160,000 and the model is a K2500
@@LivinginaTropicalParadise 20k usd is a great price. Thanks!
@@LivinginaTropicalParadise is yours a 4x4?
@@LivinginaTropicalParadise does it come with an automatic?
@@aicsusa Yes it is.
Why not to call Amigo or friend you call kuya if he’s older than you
Because a lot of men appreciate it when I call them Kuya. If I can make them happy then I have done my job for that day. 🙂
Whats Vin Diesel doing in the Philippines? Glad you didnt order the "Old Chinese sausage"" for lunch LOL
Ha ha, I have heard that before. 😊 . I am going fast and furious of course.
what's this guy talking about? unless the truck is out of stock (just like here in the US), you can buy a truck off the lot
Cost of truck?
1,160,000
@@LivinginaTropicalParadise Not bad!
I’m sorry brother, you can’t leave the door open just like that. Some one will jump inside the cab and steal your truck. Or someone not looking and hit your truck and rip your door. Just be aware of that brother man enjoy your KIA. Wish they have that model in North America!
Kia is not a korean made car. It's a German car. FYI
Omg buy a car then go home to usa then come back your car is trash, nope no way
Old chinese sausage.. 🤣😂
😂
Dammm how many bloggers are there in the Philippines 🇵🇭 smh 🤦♂️
Too many
think there's a thousand, lol .....
How many great bloggers, with hot wives or girlfriends? Maybe 2.
marunong kapa lang nag tagalog pa english kapa ate,
Sir marunong po akung mag tagalog pero hindi po fluent kasi yung dialect ko is bisaya. Since yung husband ko foreigner kailangan ko po mag English para maintindihan nya po kung anong pinagsasabi ko. Hindi din po fluent yung english pero ok lang.
Tama po ate para iwas sa issue
