Ford is as well durable. Remember Ondoy? There were cars that was flooded until the roof and all it needed was complete detailing and few minor fixes, unlike other brands that needed a complete ECU replacement and what not.

As to why is this, ang alam ko Ford ECUs especially with the Ranger & Everest are considered waterproof. Or if not totally waterproof, malaki ang resistance sa tubig. So it's a plus as well.

Disclaimer lang: I don't own a Ford. Although a family friend used to own two. An Expedition and an Explorer Sport Trac, and boy these guys had good times with it 'til the units were sold. And if the Ranger uses the same AC system that's found on the current Everest, it's ice cold. I've been in three Everests, grabe lamig. My new Toyota can't even compare with how cold Ford's AC system is.

On a daily basis, torque lang naman usually kailangan. HP comes important when you're doing high-speed run all the time. Sa pag-akyat rin sa kung saan saan torque pa rin ang kailangan.

I'm not saying that the Strada is bad, in fact it's one good car. All I'm saying is, when you want a specific car -- and it looks like you favor the Ranger more -- get it. Mahirap magsisi.
Ang gusto ko pa sa ranger, bago pa, panalo na rin sa wheels, 17", mas prefer ko rin looks nya, mas malaki, (pero ok narin ako sa strada, kasi ***y). i assume narin na mas matipid ito sa diesel being 2.2 at 6MT.

ang negative para sa akin sa ranger ay yung price nya (29k more) at yung layo ng casa nya.
Nandito kasi ako sa Baguio, at ang nearest Ford is at Dagupan, Baguio has Motorplaza to service the strada if ever.
and performance, pero napaisip narin ako sa sinabi mo sir renzo, mabilis naman na sila dalawa.
