03 Hilux vs 03 Strada vs 03 Ranger 4x4

[Dudee]

fuel consumption 9-10km/ltr city driving.

Halos parehas lang pala with the Revo diesel? I thought mas matipid ang revo Diesel.

Di ba mas malaki ang strada engine? bakit mas matipid.

Nakapost sa ibang thread, revo diesel is 8km/ liter lang.

Sir otep, any explanation?

strada ride is not really that harsh. actually matigas talaga pang-ilalim nya and the shock system, (in comparison with the reviews about the Hilux/Fortuner bumpy ride here) is way better. the ride has never been bumpy sa'kin after 6 years city or highway driving.

ngaun nga pagtapos ng bagyo, madalas ko dinadala ito kasi kayang-kaya nya mga potholes na nasira sa daan due to hard rains and floods last week. and I dont feel the bumpiness as compared to my dad's all-time FWD explorer.

my only complaint with it, sobra sikip inside. masikip na nga, I had to endure a longer vehicle pa bec. of the useless cargo area. minsan hirap ako mag-park, at hirap ako mag-u-turn sa mga u-turn slots na 2 lanes per side lang.

overall, very thankful din ako dahil Mitsu ito, I get too enjoy some benefits of Mitsu's ever popular Pajero with less investment and maintenance cost. and it's even more frugal than the Pajero in terms of fuel consumption.


dami nagsasabi dito pinaka-okey daw ang Isuzu pag dating sa diesel vehicles. I disagree. Mitsu talaga ang pinaka-okey pati riding comfort. The Pajero is proof of that na.

cars nowadays kasi have multi-link independent suspensions, so softer ride, compared to like the pajero (2nd and 1st gen anyway) na solid axle suspensions.

the lower center of gravity helps as well for cars.

only lately lang na suvs are also having independent suspensions, like the new expedition, 3rd gen pajero, and so on.

so that's why the best pa rin ang cars if you're just after ride comfort.

Sa fuel, mas matipid ba ang revo 2.4 diesel kaysa strada 2.5?

I also have a Mitsu L300. and to be honest, nag-kukrus ako everytime i-drive ko ito hehehe. imagine lata lang pang-depensa mo kapag na-head-on ka. The Toyota commuter looks nice and spacious. personally, I like it.

Hmmm...sabi sa diyaryo Php670k ang 2003 Strada A/T. I just don't know if the unit is makinis or if it has any problems. I just lifted the price from the ad.

Mas mabigat talaga ang steering niya. Yun talaga ang calibration from the factory. How did you find the power? I got confused with your last post.

Hindi naman kami against sa Strada. But I've witnessed more than one case of 'buyer's remorse' already aftery buying a pick up and not actually needing it.

Hi Sir Otep, I know where you got confused. I meant the strada is bigger in size and length sa revo thats why mahirap mag-overtake sa ibang vehicle, but the power is better than revo.

Ang labas kasi, "I'm GETTING the strada because it's cheap na and not because I need it. "

Before buying a vehicle know your needs first, I got a ranger before for hauling duties kaso lang when my wife gave birth na i sold it kasi hindi na practical because I dont haul anymore and matagtag siya for a family car
