Strada because of the power, large bed and cheap parts that are readily available (10% - 20% or so cheaper than nissan from a reputable auto supply dealer). Timing belt. TDIC. Smokey though.

Frontier is ok. Had one. Too bumpy for me though. Maybe the 4x4 rides different. The 3.2 is a guzzler.

Fuego has good fuel consumption but slow and noisy due to timing gears. Parts aren't as cheap as mitsubishi. Have 2 friends who own it and just max in the vicinity of 100kph. Smokey engine.

D-max is the best if you can get one below P500K these things go up to 170kph i heard.

Hilux. L type engines overheat. Weak cylinder head that warps over time.

Ranger is the tourquiest. Heard that they aren't fuel efficient though. Not sure if the parts are readily available in auto supplies too.

The looks are subjective.

Matakaw sa diesel ang ranger, heard it's worse for the turbodiesel.

I guess a pre-owned 2.7 liter frontier would be the best bet. There's also the frontier bravado knocking on the 700k range.

best option for any diesel vehicle in terms of efficiency and reliability in all aspects would be the isuzu's :thumbup:

1999 to 2004 model ford ranger ay wlt engine from mazda. 9.5 to 10km/ltr ang fuel cons. highway at 6 to 8km/ltr city driving. i have mine before a 1999 model 4x2 ok naman sya , la pa na repair sa engine . under chasis lang maintenance namin dahil palagi offroad 3x a wk. mura lang orig. parts sa ford casa , wag mo lang doon pakabit at mahal labor. naka 225tkm ang ranger ko before selling it at 350t . pero 380t lang bili ko noon sa q.c yr 2003, 4 yrs old na sya ng makuha ko at 4 yrs ko rin ginamit bago ko benenta last july 2007 . ranger parin pinalit ko dahil very happy ako sa performance.

This is not true. Diesel efficiency, reliability, and engine smoothness goes to TD27 frontier 4x2 among the choices na na mention.

If you want to feel like driving an old ELF truck or pampasaherong Jeep with 4ba1 engine, get the Isuzu Fuego and TFR pick ups.
