2013 Hilux 2.5 E 4x2 Dsl M/T vs 2013 Strada 2.5 GLX 4x2 MT

[_Cathy_]

2013 Hilux 2.5 E 4x2 Dsl M/T = P977k
2013 Strada 2.5 GLX 4x2 MT = P985k

- Which is a better? In terms of the following:

1. Reliability
2. Maintenance - Ease and Cost
3. Fuel Efficiency
4. Ride Comfort
5. Overall performance

- What are the common problems for the Hilux or Strada, if any?

- What are the advantages and disadvantages of driving a pick up?

I am choosing between the 2014 full model change Altis or a pick up. Because of the worsening flood situation in Metro Manila, maybe it would be more practical to drive a taller vehicle?

I am also thinking of adding a campershell. I know, I know

Also, does anyone have any idea of the cost of TVSS? The Hilux does not include it kasi.

I have no idea sa mga pick up but since your a loyalist sa Toyota, take the hilux.

Tapos if your after a monsoon vehicle, get the 4x4 version kasi it has more height and grip (4x4) if needed.

strada for me. sa ride comfort pa lang panalo na.

pwede rin jimny kasi for flood. 4x4 pa :D

[curiosus]

Same situation here. Looking to get a Vios, already reserved but after the recent flood, bago isip bigla.
Kelangan talaga mejo mataas na dahil ang tagulan saten ay kalahati ng taon.
BTW according to my research, max flood height:

Hilux 700mm
Strada 500mm
Wildtrak 800mm
Jimny 650mm

[c_cube]

tingin ko dito adv lang ng strada is the ride comfort

everything else hilux na

pero i believe the strada can do what the hilux can

so strada for me because of ride comfort

Mas mataas pala sa hilux.

I cannot go beyond P1M so 4x4 is not an option If there were no budget constraint I would get a Montero talaga.

70k ata yun. Yung sportlid 50k petot minus 5% disc (for tscp members) ang pinalagay ko dun sa strada ko. Angpangit ng itsura mung campershell. Haha.

Ha ha ha! Nope yung lowest variant nasa 1.2M na. 800k lang talaga budget ko. I can stretch to P1M but definitely cannot go beyond that. Hassle nga kc I was planning on getting s matic for my next purchase. Mukhang manual na namam bagsak ko.

^ maganda manual ng strada, hindi pa ako namatayan ng makina. Sa ranger ko namamatayan ako minsan.

10k pms of my strada costs about 9k. Basta di lalagpas ng 10k.

Why not matic? Sarap ng matic sa traffic, kahit naman sa baha choose low gear lang then sugod na.

If I were the one buying, ill take a field master in a heartbeat. Change all parts that needs replacing then snorkel. If possible, add height and 13's ar mags plus mickey Thompson tires. Kahit waist deep kaya.

[renzo_d10]

Cath hinde mo naman ata kelangan ng pickup eh. Pwede na siguro Jimny sayo, at least yun baka afford mo pa mag-AT. Tapos modify mo nalang like snorkel etc etc.

Baka mahirapan ka lang magdrive ng pickup.

Or a fairly new 2nd hand Monty. Mga Year 2011-2012

The AT is way beyond my budget. I definitely cannot go beyond P1M. Hindi rin option ang 2nd hand sakin esp with the recent 2 habagat episodes.

Jimny sobrang liit and ayoko talaga sa maliliit na vehicles. The bigger the better :naughty2: Walang kaso sakin ang large vehicles. I used to drive a Gen 1 Pajero going home to Laguna and I find it easier to drive than a sedan.

Napanood ko pa mga SUVs wading through flood waters, tapos mga sedan nakatigil na I saw the value of driving a tall and large vehicle esp with our situation now in Metro Manila. At least kung abutan ako ng baha na di malalim makakatawid ako.

I see.

Ayaw mo Ranger? Hehe. 800mm is 800mm..

100k malaki sakin. Yung 200k nga di ko pa alam pano ko isource e 800k lang talaga budget ko. Max 1M.

Ayoko naman mag loan. May insurance and lto pa yan price e.

Cath, baka naman merong discount. Tanong ka. Pero most likely with insurance and all mag-over pa rin 1M. Haha.

Anyway going back, Strada & Hilux, both good pickups yan. Probably both outgoing models na rin. Tagal na eh. Kelan pa ba yung Hilux na ganyan ang body at yung Strada na ganyan body. Nakailan facelift na nga ba sila.

Pero besides that, trusted na yan dalawa. With Hilux being the less faulty of both. Yun Strada if I'm not mistaken nagkaron ng issue with SCV yata yun. Pero I think it's fixed already. Sinasabi ko lang naman.

Hilux, definitely a workhorse. MATAGTAG in short. Starex_Gold has one. And nakakatakot daw patakbuhin at very high speed, parang umaangat likod. Pero pogi. Matagtag nga lang.

Strada, more of both (workhorse and cruiser) and I guess this one suits you well. Yun Hilux kasi aside from matagtag, masyadong macho. Hehe.

Kaya naman niyang Strada lumampas ng baha. Ayaw mo mag-Strada GL? Para pagtapos mo lumabas ng CASA diretso mods na ng anti-baha. New rims, new tires, snorkel, arb bumper, a good lift, upgrade lights.... overfenders

After ng mods for sure mas maganda ka pa sa stock Strada GLX hehe. Btw di mo na kelangan nung lid. Yun niroroll lang pwede na
