October 15th, 2010 07:12 PM #2Hmm... how much is your budget? I'd suggest the Ranger which is known to be the one with the best offroading capabilities in its class, along with very good flood wading capabilities (waterproof computer box, anyone?) Just look at the videos of the Ranger going off road in Youtube. And if you get the models from 2006 and above, you get a very powerful 3.0 liter engine which attains high hp and torque figures at very low rpm levels. Perfect for offroading, don't you think? Great for barreling down the expressway too!

October 16th, 2010 09:15 PM #3i see, so even the newer models have sealed computer boxes. and them being crdi doesnt have a an effect on its flood capabilities? budget is around 750k. I assumed kc na yung new models less capable dahil sa mga additional electronics nila

October 21st, 2010 10:18 PM #7IMO ang Hilux may mataas na resale value dahil sa brand prestige ng Toyota. Ang Strada mahal kasi sarap sakyan, maraming features, malakas at maganda tingnan, although mas maliit ang bed niya in favor of rear passenger space at mas inferior siya off road kapag ikumpara sa iba. Ang Frontier (yung luma ba?)? Mura talaga kasi BULOK. Ang Ranger naman, hindi mataas ang resale value dahil sa brand. Lahat ng Ford bulok ang resale value dahil sa mentality na malakas sila sa gas (which is true with the gas models pero nadamay rin ang mga diesel), at mahal ang piyesa (not sure with those made in Thailand though.)
