By the time you get your fortuner, it would no longer be rainy season.

My good friend was also looking for a used SUV or Fortuner last year. She ended up buying a brand new vios. It seems like owners are too happy to let go of their SUVs? Nakaka kaba bumili sa OLX ng used SUV, baka flooded o laspag.

I don't like the Montero anymore.

Used monteros and fortuners will flood the market next year as existing owners have already decided to get the new ones, and i guess the promos will be even more attractive by next year

Kaya ngs yun new Mitsubishi Montero ngsun with 200k discount, i doubt that's even the minimum for that car.

Knowing Mitsu and how they offered the Previous non-vgt montero at sub 1M. Im sure they'll release a lower variant stripped off of sensors

So just tske this westher as it is, dont take impulsive decsions

How about instead of buying a new/used car, invest some lifting kits nalang for your gen 10 + larger tire for that case pang rainy season lang. 2-3 inch lift siguro pwede na.

[yebo]

It will look odd. You don't lift a sedan, you lower it.

Cath how about a 2008 explorer? There's a black eddie bauer advertised in olx for 488k

Depends on the Ford.

There are some models and aspects that are unreliable (automatics for the big US variants come to mind... but the V8 engines are incredibly tough)... but there are others that are good.

If you want a floodworthy vehicle, an older Ranger is not a bad bet.

A friend has had his CRDi Ranger flooded two or three times, and it still runs... on the original computer box.

The Hilux's computer is not water sealed. If flood water enters the cabin... goodbye 40-50k pesos.

Yup. Co-developed. It's only this current generation wherein Ford took over the majority of development.

What year of Ranger?

This is RAV5 from these very forums. His is an 07, I believe.

Actually saw him driving it around on our way back from a photoshoot last month.

Buy a second hand pickup and lift it for flood use.

old ford explorer are cheap to maintain as you keep it in stock mode. meaning don't oversize the tires, don't change anything as it was designed.

my 99 crv and my 05 explorer are the cheapest to maintain cars in my collection. you can never go wrong with gasoline, hindi dirty fuel eh and no TURBO!

You could get a 2007 forester. But I would only risk the flood up to the ride height (7-8 in). My sister has one and its a fun car

How about a Ford Escape 2.3L? You can get them fairly cheap nowadays. I have seen some 2009 models being sold for around 300k. Even 2011 models with mileage below 50k can be had for less than 400k.

In spite of the height, the Escapes were notorious for getting hydrolocked back in the day if memory serves me right. I think it's due to the intake design or location.

And it's prone to aircon problems, if I remember clearly.

It seems like Ford is always plagues with issues

Sayang naman yung Forester
