Exterior
The all-new Tamaraw has a very macho and rugged look. The front fascia is adorned by black plastic claddings housing the pair of boxy highlights.
The Tamaraw comes in short and long wheelbase forms, and the dimensions vary slightly from one variant to another. The LWB measures around 5,300mm long and 1,800mm wide with a 3,085mm wheelbase, while the SWB is around 4,965mm long, 1,795mm wide, and has a 2,750mm wheelbase.
Available wheel options include 16-inch alloys and 14-inch steelies, while DRLs and LED headlights are exclusive to the top-spec variants. Available body configurations are the Dropside, Utility Van, and Aluminum Van.
Interior
The inside is pretty bare and simple. A bench type seat with plastics all around. In case you were wondering, though, it does come with air-conditioning, and 2DIN head units come as standard.
Opting for the GL Dropside variant will get you two separate seats and an added seven-inch infotainment system.
Engine and specs
As mentioned, two engine options are available. There’s the 2.0-liter 1TR-FE gasoline engine that puts out 137hp at 5,600rpm and 183Nm of torque at 4,000rpm. This only comes with a five-speed manual gearbox.
The other engine is the 2.4-liter 2GD-FTV diesel mill that puts out 148hp at 3,400rpm and 343Nm of torque at 1,400-2,800rpm and is mated to a five-speed manual. A higher-output version of this powertrain is also available, and that one’s capable of 400Nm of torque from 1,600 to 2,000rpm and it also gets a six-speed automatic.
The suspension setup is standard with an independent front suspension with a live axle and leaf springs at the rear. Stopping power is handled by front disc brakes and rear drum brakes.
