    Let us see.

    Toyota 2.5 G (the 2.7L gas is no longer available) has 102 hp with the dimensions of the 4x4 variant. Price 1.047M.

    Nissan Navarra 2.5L generates 144hp and is lighter with slightly smaller dimensions and rides low than the Hilux. Price 1.045M

    The Mitsu Strada 2.5L GLX is rated at 134 hp and is the smallest in dimension among the bunch. Compared with the 2, it has no ABS. Price 0.918M.

    The pick-up segment is undoubtedly the most competitive in the automotive industry right now.

    What are you after? Form over function? Or it is the other way around?

    The Navarra is fine with nice interior but rides quite low. The Hilux runs on puny (small) wheels.
    The best-buy Strada is actually the 2.5L 4x4 variant.
    Not to include the Dmax, Trekker, and BT-50 which also demand consideration.

    However, among the 3 you mentioned above, I will pick the Navarra.

    generally, if you're after passenger comfort, it's a toss up between the navara, hilux, and the strada, with the mitsu having the slight advantage.

    the ranger and the dmax aquit themselves well as work trucks. the ranger especially on off road duties.

    the ranger/bt-50 is really hampered by its small cabin. dang.

    If I'm going to choose among the Pick ups it would be the Strada GLX since we've done a Test Drive & it's having a Car like comfort plus the looks , for me good enough for the daily drive & price * P898T Strada 2.5 MT /GLX Model

    Sir alphonse, the strada has the roomiest passenger cabin among the three. If you plan to fully utilize the passenger seats and drive the family for long trips, I'm sure they will love you for it.

    Before i got my strada(gls 4x4 m/t) 2.5 years ago, it was a toss up between tha strada and the ranger. Never liked the navara, bt50 just came out. hilux is like riding inside a rattle.

    my friend has a ranger wildtrak, and i must say that performance was impressive, a good work truck...period.

    but i'm still in love with the strada... been abusing it a lot with my work, and it still asks for more. never had a complaint from my passengers regarding rear leg room even if we drive for 10 hours, and the ride is great!!

    but then again it would all boil down to the buyers budget and personal preference.

    if i were to buy another ute, i'd get the wildtrak i think my strada deserves to be pampered after years of abuse!! hehehehe

    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).

    Mazda BT-50 SVP

    3.0L 156hp 380NM of torque 5 speed manual 999k.

    In person the BT-50 looks good IMHO.

    Very practical and for sure, a performer.

    And to add, the passenger seat is very comfortable considering that it has adequate legroom and the back of the rear passenger seat is reclined in contrast to the upright back of seat of the other pick-ups. This is accomplished thanks to the curved coach-shaped rear of the cabin.

    thanks to all the points you gave in my question.. but the ranger has proven to be a wild card in my mind after reading your replies

    can u give some insights to strada 2.5's, 3.0 vs ranger 2.5, 3.0 how about cabin space and power,, and still undecided if M/T or A/T , the main purpose is for work. after it for family use.

    thanks again in advance

    The Ranger has a 4x2 2.5 variant with an Automatic transmission, more powerful than the strada (143hp, 330Nm of torque), even the 3.0 Duratorq of the ranger is more powerful (156hp, 380Nm). The 2.5 Strada has 136hp and 314Nm while the 3.2 has 163hp and 343Nm of torque. It also has the advantage of a 5 speed slushbox in its AT variants.
    Regarding cabin space, I believe the strada has a bigger cabin, it isn't as cramped as the Ranger.
    I'm really a fan of the ranger than the strada, besides it has the bigger bed in the back.

    Go for Nissan Navarra!

    My friend and I went to Subic via SCTEX to test his 6 month old Fortuner (loaded with alcohol injection). We were running around 170-180kmh and easily overtaking everyone...yeah we were fast and we thought that only fast cars can ovetertake us until this Navarra out of nowhere just overtook us as if we were running at 80kph. That was damn fast for a pick up!

battle of the pick ups
