    Hi guys. I need help kasi malapit na matapos yung year na ito and that's also the reason why I'm buying a new car, hindi na ako papaabot sa increase ng tax next year. Nag-research naman ako sa different pick-ups like HiLux, Ranger, Strada, Colorado. I have only tested the Colorado and Ranger, and from there mas feel ko ang Ranger.. Nagpunta rin ako sa Toyota and Mitsubishi to check the prices of their pick-up variants. I'm not looking for the high-end but also not the base variants. My budget ranges from 1.1 to 1.25. I'll consider yung maintenance charge. I may consider the price of 1.3m if the maintenance cost low. Like the HiLux G costs 1.3m+ which is more expensive than the Ranger XLT (1.2m) but the maintenance of Toyota is less expensive than Ford. Other than the price, is the use. I have little knowledge about the specs of cars. although I tried to research, I'm still having a hard time in choosing one. I may use it in the future for heavy carries. Hindi naman din ako mag ooff road masyado. Yung suspension din is a main factor. And importantly, yung water wading depth since nasa may mababahaing area yung everyday work ko. That's all lang naman, great suspension, good for heavy load, and good for battling floods. Add ko lang na mas better if Electronic Powered na yung steering.

    Your handle suggests rhe rnger already heheh.

    A friend of mine is happy with his strada. His deciding factor was ease of parking in one of eastwood's tight parking lots since his lady frequents the area for work and leisure heheh.

    Yup, the Ranger is on my list Sa tingin ko mahihirapan ako at first sa parking since most of the pick-ups in my budget doesn't have a reverse camera as a guide in my parking. Maninibago pa ako since pick-up na hehe

    Normally madali lang magpalagay ng camera... Depends on the vehicle though.

    I will surely install a reverse camera if ever the pick-up that I chose doesn't have one, I'll talk about this later nalang kapag meron na

    I'm fine with any size/length as long as it contains the attributes that I need, any recommendations sir?

    Although this post should make me think on other brands that's not in my mind, the pro and cons, so that I can choose wisely before I buy one

    Yeah, the Strada looks fitting for a pickup!

    Although I'm not sure about its wading capacity

    the ranger fits your needs. hi lux also is a good choice. test drive if you can can stand the engine roar inside the cabin. matagtag a bit. but certainly ranger is the best bet.

    I haven't tried the HiLux yet but I think it's a good one since majority of pickups that I see is a HiLux
