Hindi talaga pwede sa misis mo yung BT-50, although maganda ang field of view niya at sakto ang seat height sa height ng misis mo.
Sumakit yung braso at likod ni misis ng first time niyang na drive, Tucson daily ride niya kaya nanibago.

Maganda suspension ng Strada, hindi matagtag at maliit ang turning radius madaling i-maneuver.
Kinonsider ko din yan, sa una yang 2.4 na bago at yung 2.5 (4d56) fieldmaster , offroad ready na strada.
Kung ang purpose ko ay pang daily ride, yan kukunin ko, kaso kakargahan ko lang ng feeds ang likod, kaya Im looking for the best value na 4x4.
Kaya yung BT-50 kinuha ko, unang una yung Yojin, then yung price, pinaka murang 4x4 na 200HP. Mabigat na kasi ang PMS cost ngayon sa casa lalo na kung nasa warranty pa.

meron kasi lola ko na ford 2000+ model and ayaw ko maexperience ulit, parang super mario na nag 100x up pagna kasakay ka hehe
ganun ba yung BT -50 or hindi naman?

bt50 at ford ranger parehas lang ng ride. pero hindi naman matagtag saka pwede mo naman upgrade ang suspension lagyan mo ng comfort shackles sa likod.

yun lang mabigat ang steering. kahit ako nuon sumasakit chest muscles ko pag lagi ko gamit yung bt50. e sanay ako sa sorento at starex na magaan ang steering.

ang ranger naka eps na yata steering? di pa ba nag eps ang 2017 mazda bt50?

walang issue ang everest.

I have a 2014 Ford Ranger... now at 97k kms.
If im going to replaced it, Ford Ranger pa din bibilhin ko... a proven workhorse... no issues encountered.. pero Ford replaced the hose with a durable one...

Matag tag? Pickup are made like that if unladen.. pero pag loaded, nawawala na tag tag... pero safe pa din when cornering or at high speeds..

If i have the funds benta ko old ranger ko... palitan ko ng TOTL na Ranger 3.2...

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

Colorado 2017 LTZ 4X4 AT
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.

magkano pms ng spin mo boss, yung ertiga ko kasi dati nsa 3k then nag miss ako ng medium PMS, chinarge na sakin yung heavy pms which is 9k

i think the PMS cost of chevy is not higher to mitsubishi
since diesel engine sya bawi naman siguro yung pms cost sa fuel cost?

kamusta rearseat ng np300 okay lang pang long drive?may armrest ba np300 sa likod
