Maxus T60: Carrying the loads that matter in the most challenging times

At a time when you need your pickup truck to be as powerful, versatile, and efficient as you need it to be, few pickups can rise to the occasion like the Maxus T60 can.

The Maxus T60 can take charge and be a crucial tool to keep key supply chains moving. For the agricultural, industrial, medical, utilities and construction sectors, the Maxus T60 pickup, in either 4×2 or 4×4 variants, provides the space, power, and adaptability to keep people and goods moving efficiently and continuously. 

The upsized dimensions of the T60 ultimately lead to bigger and heavier capabilities, in terms of payload capacity, towing power, and water wading depth, and in real world applications this means that the T60 can accommodate the varying needs of Filipino pickup owners, be they in the city or in the countryside.

The Maxus T60 is powered by the Euro4-rated 2.8-liter Turbo Diesel engine with Variable Geometry Turbocharger and intercooler mated to a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission, generating maximum power of 150PS@3,400RPM and maximum torque of 360Nm@1,600-2,800RPM–more than enough for Filipino motorists to maximize their hauling potentials. The engine power and efficiency can be further managed by selecting either the Economy or Power Drive Modes.

The Maxus T60’s exterior design is complemented by standard exterior features such as automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, front and rear fog lamps, electric outside rearview mirror and side stepboards, 17-inch alloy wheel, rear bedliner, and LED headlights with automatic levelling function and LED daytime running lights for the 4×4 variant. The interior, meanwhile, is comfortable and convenient, with the Touchscreen monitor with Apple CarPlay and Mirrorlink, Cruise Control, Multifunction steering wheel, Keyless entry, 6-way driver, 4-way passenger seat adjust. The spacious cabin even comes with a separate aircon rear vent for the back passengers. The T60 Elite 4×4 comes with additional interior amenities such as leather seats, power driver seat, push start button, 10-inch touchscreen and 6-speaker infotainment system, and auto airconditioning.

For safety, the Maxus T60 scores the highest 5 stars in the Australian NCAP safety rating. The pickup offers standard safety features, including the European-style laser welding technology, 3-point seatbelts, ISOFIX seats, ABS + EBD, Immobilizer, dual front airbags, and rear camera and sensors, while for the Elite 4×4 there is the added Electronic Stabilisation Program and Tire Pressure Monitoring System. 

All Maxus T60 variants are still offered at introductory prices: T60 Pro 4×2 MT at P948,000,  T60 Pro 4×2 AT at P1,028,000, and T60 Elite 4×4 AT at P1,278,000. These prices are P50,000 off the regular SRPs. All-in low down payment financing options is also available and one can 

get a Maxus T60 pickup for as low as P40,000 down payment for the Pro 4×2 MT, P50,000 for the Pro 4×2 AT and P65,000 for the Elite 4×4 AT.

The Maxus T60’s power, size, and value for money are enhanced even more with Maxus Philippines’ aftersales offers. It is one of the few models in the pick-up segment with a 5 year warranty (or 100,000 kms, whichever comes first). Moreover, the aftersales services are set to the “maximum” with 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. This is more convenient and more cost-efficient compared to the industry-standard 5,000-km PMS interval. Maxus Philippines also offers a 24/7 emergency roadside assistance for customers. 

A product of 124 years of British-bred automotive heritage, and now an example of excellence in global collaborative engineering and design excellence, the Maxus T60 was introduced in the Philippines just last March 5 as the third model launch in Maxus Philippines’ renowned roster of light commercial vehicles where you can max it out.
