This battle is between only two pick-ups.

You'll never go wrong with either Strada or Navara.

1. PAYLOAD & Power: Navara
2. Ride comfort: Strada
3. Exterior: Navara
4. Interior: Strada

On item #:
1- Pick-ups are designed to carry cargo, that's why it has a cargo bed (obvious, haha). But then, it depends on what or WHO are to be loaded on its bed. If you're an engineer/architect, businessman that frequently carry heavy stuff such as construction materials, equipments, furnitures, etcetera, then it should be the Navara. But if you're into motorcades (of pageant beauties) or inagurations of highways and bridges with the "tallest dwarf" and her bantay leading the usual ceremony, then the Strada is the best choice because of item #2 (sedan-like ride).

3- Im a Strada fanatic before but when the new models with the curva-curva design, I changed to Frontier/Navara. Anyway, this would be a "personal preference" (NEEDs or WANTs) of buyers.

4. Since Im not a tall-big-fat guy (BMI = 19.8) and even my family members, cabin space is not an issue. Kahit siguro sub-compact pick-up (kung meron man ganun), comfy pa rin sa kin.

nobody gets wrong when choosing, its really a matter of preference. Congrats on your new ride bro, dont 4get the pics..

Here are some of my observations with Navara and Strada:

Engine to cabin sound - Navara is one of the quietest after the hilux, i can barely hear the turbo kicking in the navara, while the strada (4m41) cabin sounds like a Canter inside (no ofense meant to strada owners just sharing my first-hand experience).

Steering and handling - theres a little road feedback with Navara which is very opposite whith the Strada. Some say that they get used to Strada's handling but me, after driving both vehicles for many kilometers on provincial roads, i will never trade the handling of the Navara.

For city drive, get the A/T, for long drives get the M/T.

sir jpg congraz to your new Navara drive safely

After gettin my navara in the morning i went right away to Banawe to have accessories installed.. Pioneer 2 din DVD with rear reverse camera (night vision), HID 6000K Hi/Low 3500K forlights, Bedliner , EGR windor visor etc .. It rained kaya nadumihan but blessing yun..hehe









Compared my montero, it has stronger brakes & a more quiet engine but the acceleration of the montero is quicker

a would be buyer should conduct a test drive.

not to raise navara's ante but i will state reasons why navara is and should be the top choice eliminating the price factor.

1. engine and torque - highest in the class
2. ride - strada was the best in the class until navara came. why? to smoothen the ride of strada i replace the rear absorbers with OME shocks. but before that its like a horse.
3. ground clearance - hi-lux and strada looks tall? don't be deceived by the looks. go measure the actual ground clearance (stock to stock) and navara is higher by almost 2 inches. hi-lux and strada cabins ride on spacers.
4. dimension and space - should we measure?
5. engine noise - no comment

to strada owner, lets face it (i used to own one to, 4x4 also) the new kid is in the town and it's smoking the other pick-ups in every department. this is why after having my strada for 1 1/2 year was sold out in favor of navara.

until now my navara is still stock. there are no reason for me to replace this and this. again, for those would-be buyers it's still best to have a test drive and don't just believe that this one has the best ride, etc. since most likely those individuals who writes and recommends must be speaking out of what they read on the internet.

+1 on this.
As to the ground clearance. The Navara claims the highest, but if you will consider its 'breakover angle', it may end up same result. I'm not sure if you/others will agree on this.

But still, if I were to choose, I'll go for the Navara.

Binura mo yung NUMBER 8 mong Plate ha.. Bakit takot habulin ng Ombudsman?

[RED XIII]

No brainer... The Nissan Navara takes this one w/o a doubt, thats why its number 1 locally. And Nissan pick ups globally have been known to receive the highest admiration among other Japanese made pick ups (eg. Titan, Navara).

[hpon]

+1 for navara..

[number001]

What if its bet. the "faclifted" 2010 Ranger trekker v.s. Navarra 4x2? Which one is better for hauling cargo in the bed, passenger comfort and for fording the metro's perennial floods?

Looks - I like the facelifted Ranger better, although the brute front appearance of the Navarra is also attractive. Navarra's side and rear views look too slab sided, imho.

Space (cargo and passenger cabin) - The Navarra wins in the interior space. Ranger has a reputation of being cramped.

Engine power - Based on specs fr. brochure, navarra has more but ranger is quite close. But in actual performance, which one has the edge?

P.S. I like how the Ford website included "ranger development" which shows the extent of testing that the Ranger has undergone. It has been tested in many parts of the world, at different temperatures, conditions, trailer towing, etc....

Very practical and for sure, a performer.
