Isuzu Dmax vs. Mitsubishi Strada

[Drave]

Para sa akin, pareho silang maganda. Gusto ko rin yung bagong mukha ng dmax at yung new engine niya. Pero kung ang pagpipilian ay 4x4 against 4x2, alam na natin kung anong mas may advantage, no question.

plano palang namin bumili ng pick up, we have decided to get the 3.2 gls strada..sana di kami ma disappoint sa power nito, masyado kasing mayabang kapitbahay namin na may dmax. lagi niyang sinasabi sa amin wala yang strada sa dmax pare. sige masubukan nga pag andito na yon. i will let you know sa balita soon...

well..well..never drove 3.2 gls strada yet..but i guarantee you convincing ang engine power ng pick up na to.,even the 2.5 gls strada i hit 170 kph very very quick,super smooth and stable at that speed.can't manage to push more speed ....masama na tingin ni kumander.. he! he!

note: don't get a powerful trucks if your purpose is to race your neighbors DMAX! joke,he he.

[drey]

Kung may pera... I will buy the 2.5L because the power is enough... Baka matakaw ang 3.2L eh and higher maintenance costs. Bili nalang ako ng LSD... hehehe... Magkano kaya yung LSD?

I seriously considered getting a Dmax, among others. But I finally decided that I will get the Strada. I'm a city dweller and my main use for the vehicle is to transport me back and forth from my home to my workplace (Quezon City to Manila) with occassional trips out of town and to our province (Nueva Ecija) where the large cargo bed will be handy.

I would have decided for the Dmax if I am in the province and will need the hauling power more often. Probably in the future I will consider again the Dmax when I retire (malayo pa ito, 10 - 15 years) to till our land in the province.

Just sharing my thoughts.

what's the meaning of a PICK-UP?

once upon a time, pick up was built to seriously haul serious stuffs. pero now a days, it can be called pick-up car.

sa speed and comfort, lamang ang strada..

sa hauling capacity and reliability, lamang ang dmax..

agree ba tayong lahat?

[drey]

And do you not agree that 4D56 are reliable too?

Time to look around bro, L300 FB's!!! Sa cargo capacity, lamang ang DMAX.
The Strada is no compromise of anything, except the bed (they forgot about that)

[washburn]

medyo mismatch 4x4 vs 4x2
pero strada ako sa pormahan
Dmax ako sa kargahan (subok na to!)

[BlueBimmer]

reliability is equal imo

this thread discussion will stop once the NEW FRONTIER NAVARA steps in.. hehe 174 horses and 400 N.m of torque.. hehe OT..

Navarra? with its vintage interior, im not sure if even the 400nm engine will save it..90s interior and switches..dami disappointed sa interior ng navarra sa PIMS :bwahaha:

yes i agree.. dissapointed din talaga ako sa interior ng navara.. when i saw this in ausi last year, mas maganda with black and silver accents. pero nung nakita ko sa PIMS, nagulat ako bakit ganun. pati yung friend ko na hyped na hyped na bumili nito since early this year dissapointed din. Nainis nga kasi ang tagal niya inaantay tapos ganun lang. d ko rin gusto space sa likod, i guess mga nissan pickups talagang ganun. Pero sa engine, hands down the most powerful overall. but for me, habang tumatagal kasi mas naaappreciate ko kung ok ang feel sa loob.. I feel better driving pag maganda ang mga nakikita ko, of course given na decent din ang performance ng engine, reliable at hindi bagul.

Sa mga hindi afford o nanghihinayang sa SUV incl. maintenance cost, awts!

[2Dmax]

loucha,

since you own both dmax and strada, who has the better fuel consumption in terms of km/L? dmax or strada?

[vjfajardo0728]

plano palang namin bumili ng pick up, we have decided to get the 3.2 gls strada..sana di kami ma disappoint sa power nito, masyado kasing mayabang kapitbahay namin na may dmax. lagi niyang sinasabi sa amin wala yang strada sa dmax pare. sige masubukan nga pag andito na yon. i will let you know sa balita soon...

Well share lang po.. Meron po kaming Strada GLS Sport 3.2L 4X4 A/T. Nung tinignan ko po kung bakit konti lang ang difference ng power sa 2.5L at 3.2L na Strada. Kaya pala e dahil ang 3.2L ay may maliit na turbo, which in turn very minimal turbo lag! 1 second? Pede na un! Automatic is responsive and reliable dahil oldschool style ang nakakabit.. 180Km/h is a breeze but makes the policeman make a slow down sign! Hehe.. Power? Hmm dinala namin sa Baguio at mejo madami ang dala namin sa likod.. No problem sa akyatan, really decent 60Km/h dahil mejo madaming truck na gumagapang..
It's a family pick-up truck that can carry heavy but not-so-big load bec. of the small bed. Kung nasa business ka at gusto mo ng pick-up para sa driver mo, kunin mo ung D-Max at bili ka ng Strada para sau!! Don't wori reliable din ang Mitsu peo konting alaga lang.. Peace out!!

imho

FC i think goes to the dmax
looks,ride and comfort,power - strada

hehe xD

[chur-ay]

Sa akin better ang strada kasi 4x4 as compared to 4x2 dmax.Dapat kung pick up, 4x4. Kaso, sa porma mas elegante tignan dmax, machong macho at gwapo talaga. Etong bagong strada kasi effeminate look, parang bakla (no offense pls...). Mabilis pa at mas matipid sa fuel tong bagong dmax. Ergo, pinakamaganda talaga etong dmax 4x4 na bago, lalo na pag manual transmission kc matipid sa fuel, aside from having improved and reliable engine, mabilis pa.
