    Just want to share my thoughts because I am deciding which one to choose, please add or correct me if I am wrong thanks,

    Looking for 4x4

    Nissan NP300 4x4 VL AT 7
    + Ride comfort
    + Looks
    + Price
    - Rearset Space

    Hilux
    + Resale Value
    + Third Party Accessories
    - Price
    - Interior Space
    - Riding Comfort

    Colorado
    + Interior Space
    + Engine
    + Euro 4
    + Features
    - Price
    - Resale Value

    Mazda BT-50
    + Price
    + Free PMS
    + Interior
    - lack features

    Ford Ranger
    + Features
    - after sales
    -reliability

    Strada
    + Price
    - Engine

    DMAX
    + reliability
    + price
    + features
    + resale value
    - no discounts
    - wife dont like the looks
    - euro 2



    My first choice was DMAX but my wife doesnt like the look of it, also ISUZU doesnt offer discount plus may addon pang dinadagdag sa DP while on others they give discount upto 100k
    Second Choice is Colorado, really like it, was in love with it infact but the price is a bit stiff its around 1.7M for their 4x4 TOFL
    Third Choice is Mazda BT-50, just worried if BT-50 uses the same engine as FORD since it has turbo issue
    Fourth Choice is NP300, its cramp in the rear seat
    Fifth Choice Hilux, it feels cramp in the front seat
    Strada - for some reason I don't like it at all buy someone might convince me
    Ford Ranger - Turbo issues

    Could be easier if you could list down your priorities.

    Safest bets are the Strada, Hilux and DMax. I'd wager on the Nissan too. The Limited edition Strada looks awesome loaded with accesories. Forgot what they call it, chanced upon the image on a local automobile news site.

    Also surprised that you're considering the Colorado but not the Ranger, even mentioning that after sales is a deciding factor.

    Nissan is offering 100k discount on their VL variant, very tempting di daw kasi mabenta while their VL Sport Edition is 20k lang discount.

    your thoughts?

    Final Consideration

    Strada GT 2017 4X4 AT
    Nissan NP300 VL7AT

    Between the 3, I'd vote for the NP300. Problem with Chevy is their after-sales support and PMS cost. tuwing nagpapapms ako ng Spin namin, nalulula ako sa gasto ng Colorado. For Strada, ok naman ang after-sales support pero mahal ang PMS cost. NP300 PMS cost is definitely much cheaper than the rest of Pick-up (maliban sa BT50). Bought the EL AT variant after checking (drive test) its competitors third week of March at ngayon ay nasa 5000Kms na ang Odometer. Brought it to Bolinao, Batangas, Baler, Nueva Ecija at last week, Ilocos Region. Only gripe is dapat nag-VL variant na kami para masubukan siya sa Sand Dunes sa Paoay Ilocos.

    Sir, since July 2015, NP300 Navara EL MT is my daily drive (about 25-30 km one way to work) , wala naman akong problema for everyday use since maganda talaga ride kahit i-compare pa sa previous gen Fort. Malakas talaga power at comfortable din with long drive since naibiyahe ko na both to Quezon and Cagayan province. With the heavy traffic, average consumption is about 9 km/l. Nagkaroon lang ng problema (may abnormal sound) sa steering column assy pero under warranty naman. Casa acknowledged the issue and is just waiting for the replacement part to arrive. Although mine is not the high end, VL 4x4, I hope this still helps.

    mazda bt50 has the same engine, transmission, chasis, suspension and many other parts as the ford ranger. they are basically twins, naiba lang ang skin sa harap.

    as for the turbo issues of the bt50/ranger this has already been resolved with a new turbo and software.

    the only problem you will have with the bt50 is if you will replace the front bumper with a steel bull bar. i don't think there is any available locally.

    i used to have a 2015 bt50 but i sold it due to the turbo problem. but as i said naayos na nila yan, bago na ang turbo ng 2016 and later bt50, ranger and everest. otherwise di ako bibili ng 2016 everest which i enjoy driving so much for the last 16 months already.

    if you do choose the ranger or bt50 make sure naka sync3 na. pag sync2 pa old stock nila yun.
