Buying a used pickup suggestions?

[trann123]

So I've finally decided to sell my sedan and go for a pickup since mas applicable sya sa needs ko. I live in Baguio and I travel a lot specially for surfing.

My budget is at 400-600k
So Im looking at pickups in the 2008-2010 range right?
Ano ba yung mga pickups na reliable in these years?

Here are my top criterias:

• hindi sirain
• fuel efficient
• comfortable ride
• Matic

Thanks for the suggestions Tsikot fam!

Comfortable ride? Strada lang siguro ang pasok neto.

Strada ata papasok sa 2008-2010. Or kung SUV, montero na 2011 vgt.

The fortuner and montero are within budget i think, eespecially the gas 2.4L fortuner.

Ride comfort, well, id cross out the fortuner immediately for their suspension and brake setup if this is really a big consideration for you.

But if you find it acceptable, the fortuner should be a good and spare/replacement parts should be plenty for this.

Additional wildcard could be a G trim innova gas or e trim diesel.

Good luck in your purchase.

Note: just wanted to say that if before 2010, the vehicle was released, then you'd have to be wary of ondoy flooded units since it happened september 2009.

Ahhh true, taking note of that. A 2011 vehicle maybe? But what though?

for a 2010 or 2011 model, I think your options are still the same for SUVs, the Fortuner (gas or diesel) or Montero.

for pickups, I'd say Hilux, Strada and if you are okay with the Euro 2 Dmax.

for AUV/MPV, the Innova would be the most versatile option here, gas or diesel. If you are mostly using this in the city, I'd actually prefer using gas manual for the Innova. You'd get the benefit of "cheaper" PMS costs compared to the diesel, a quieter engine and similar km/l figures (if city only). If you frequently go with highways, then better to go with diesel as you will be able to reap more of the efficiency benefits there. The Gas Innova from Manila to Baguio when we used it for a family trip (7 pax with luggage) was left with a quarter tank when we reached Baguio. A diesel should more or less still give you above half a tank of diesel when you get there. For reference, our companion then had a 2.0 diesel Carens AT, same distance traveled, only consumed about 1/3 his tank. Never filled up in Baguio and got home to Manila without topping up in the middle of the trip back. Gas Innova we filled up twice.

Thanks so much for the insight! Nag no si girlfriend sa innova and I agree with her... Mukha daw ako tatay pag dadalhin ko yun haha, so I think ill look at the fortuner/montero/hilux... Between these 3, ano kaya pinaka okay when it comes to my criterias

Sir, pwede mo sana sabihin sa kanya “ tama, kasi naghahanda na ako, sooner or later magiging tatay din naman ako sa anak natin” for sure mag iiba perception nun kasi more of family na yung focus sa pagbili, like more in ”us” than “me” na decision... hehee... goodluck sir! Your money, your rule...

The newest SUV you can get for your money would probably be the Santa Fe or the Everest.

Haha! Well, college ako dala ko Revo then naging Innova... pero mukha naman daw ako matanda for my age even back then. So, wala lang ako masyado concern on "perception" I guess, mainly function lang muna. hehe!

If gusto mo least sakit ng ulo among the three, I would personally say the Fortuner 2.7Gas model is a good option (assuming city driving is the main location where you will use the vehicle).

Hilux, kahit anung gawin mo, matalbog yan kapag walang load. Sumakay na din ako as passenger niyan, 20 mins trip pa lang, hilo na ako. So, for me, I wouldn't recommend.

Between Monty and Fort that are diesels, I pick the Montero to be honest kung performance lang criteria, but problema mo lang if natapat ka sa ASBU sa daan na bigla ka natempt humarurot or tumapak. Baka biglang bumuga ang Montero ng itim or dark grey na usok. Naiwasan ko lang ito sa Montero namin nung nag Unioil ako, pero sa Unioil lang. Sa Big 3, meron at meron pa din pag hinataw.

Yung D4D din ng Toyota, sa akin lang, medyo maingay. Sabihin mo na tahimik sa loob kahit papaano, pero outside, maingay talaga compared to other diesels for whatever reason. Lola ko ayaw na idling yun sa enclosed parking kasi naririnig ng ibang tao (drop off area, bahay ng kaibigan etc). So gusto niyo either park ako sa labas (open area) or patayin ko agad. hehe!

So dahil sa ingay and/or issue ng ASBU, kaya ko nasabi consider Fortuner 2.7 Gas G or V Trim. 1) malamang sa hindi malaki binagsak na ng price nito dahil gas siya hindi diesel at ang SRP nuon vs diesel units were already lower, trim vs trim ng Fortuner.
2) mas mura ang maintenance nito
3) di ka matatakot sa ASBU or LTO registration =)
4) tahimik inside and out so yung sound system mo, kahit hindi upgraded ang speakers, rinig mo. Panget ang stock speakers ng Montero (Fyi) and yung AVT unit ng Montero, prone to failure. Yung amin napawarranty ko na dati nung 2 years old, after 3 years, sira na touchscreen ulit. So hindi tatagal ang Montero head unit in my experience. Pag nagpalit ka ng Head Unit, malamang sa hindi, damay speakers mo. =)
5) Since depreciated na siya na around 8 years, wala na siya masyado magiging "loss" sa depreciation. Ika-nga, pako na presyo siya kahit papaano or mas mabagal na ang down slide ng pricing.

Hope that helps. This is entirely my opinion

Thanks so much for this insight! Nasaan kaya ang fc ng fortuner 2.7 G/V?

[Lakwatsero]

Thanks so much for this insight! Nasaan kaya ang fc ng fortuner 2.7 G/V?

Expect 5-6km/l city, 9-10 highway.

I suggest you look specifically for the Montero GLX model, iirc that was priced at 1.3M, 1.1M after discounts brand new a few years ago before the 3rd gen was released. Baka may machambahan ka 2013 or newer model with your budget.

Nakasakay na ba GF mo sa Fortuner or Hilux? Hilong talilong siya sa dalawang yan. Sa (old) Fortuner nga, ako na driver pero nahihilo pa din ako. Hilux and Fort wont beat Innova sa comfort (and even in space).

But kung porma is more important than function, go for Montero because of comfort.
