If you're gonna be using the pickup for city driving and personal use, I suggest you go for the Strada GLX since its ride is softer and it's easier to maneuver thanks to its shorter turning radius.
If you're going to be loading heavy stuff on the bed, the Hilux would be better since it has a bigger bed and from experience, it can load heavier loads without sagging too much. The engine even though it's weaker on paper than the Mitsubishi, won't break a sweat.
I'm assuming though that you won't be hauling stuff most of the time so I'd go for the Strada this time. You might also want to consider the D-max LX and the Nissan Navara 2.5 4x2 M/T.

It depend on were you will use the vehicle . For carrying heavy load i choose the Hi Lux Or the D- Max LX.

+1 ^.

*TS, brand new or "pre-owned".? why limit (your choices) only between the two? For payload, get the Navara.

Kung brand new, may matagal ng thread for this,...

Get the strada softer ride at a great price. Pangit ng mags ng hilux e ( pre-facelift fortuner's mags ) nagmukhang surplus.

Value for money...Strada GLS 2.5L 4x4 at 1.2M.

IMHO, mas value for money yung Strada GLX 2.5L 4x2 at 925K. Just spend the remaining savings on fender flares, 17" wheels with thicker tires for that GLS look. Damn why can't they release an A/T version for this?

Nakakakatamad na magdrive ng Manual.
