2016 Ranger Wildtrak 4X2 Manual VS. 2016 Hilux G 4X2 Automatic

[miguel20]

Its really hard for me to decide between these two pickup trucks priced at 1,365,000 and 1,283,000 respectively. Im in dire need of professional advices and comments and opinions of the owners of each vehicle.

Main points:

Reliabilty
Maintenance Costs
Overall performance
Fuel Consumption
Replacement parts cost and availability.

PS: Strictly limited to 2016 models.

Get the Toyota Hilux, better reliability, cheaper to maintain, better parts availability ...

Hilux din ako particularly if this will serve as also your daily driver becase of AT convinience.

Based on the criteria, Hilux has an edge on maintenance, reliability and parts. The Ranger may have the edge in ride comfort.

Ali ba mas recommended? AT o MT? Hows the fuel economy of each?

the AT versus MT battle has reached mahabharatha proportions.
there is an entire thread dedicated to this topic alone.
peruse it, sir.
in the end, my conclusion is, "it is always a personal choice".
i have both AT and MT. and even then, the pros and cons do not paint a clear picture choice that covers all driving conditions. i usually pick one over the other, depending on the type of driving i am about to embark on.

fuel efficiency? on paper, MT trumps AT. but there are those who will dis-agree. we each have our own driving styles.

Smooth din ba ang AT ng hilux? If compared sa MT, which would you recommend? Manual driver kasi ako eh but im open to driving matic naman

Same parts availability-imo, with so many buyers of ford nowadays, some shops started carrying parts for the ranger and everest. The new fortuners and hilux are also new. I dont think all shops have parts for the new suvs/pickups. Hoping the shops carry the new parts for these new big sellers from ford and toyota.

Same reliability imo
Same fuel consumption if both mt/at

Only difference will be which transmission you want to get.

Automatic ka na lng for convenience, hirap traffi sa pinas hehehe.

Modern ATs are very good nowadays so I don't think magkakaproblem ka in that respect of smoothness or ever responsiveness. However may issue yun AT ng fortuner which yun unit ng mother ko is affected. It is now addressed naman by toyota to our satisfaction. I guess test drive ka muna ng hilux AT then you can make your decision. AT is nothing short of a godsend lalo na sa manila traffic nowadays.

Talaga bang significantly lesser in the long run ang maintenance o pms cost ng hilux compared to ranger?
