2014 Ford Ranger XL M/T 4x2 vs 2014 Mitsubishi Montero GLX M/T 4x2?

[DeathRow]

Here are the pointers:
* Mostly city driving
* Maximum of 4 people (including 1 toddler), but mostly just 1 (office) or 3 (weekends) people
* Low maintenance costs
* Low fuel consumption
* (Interior) Boot space good to have but not life or death
* Higher driving (eye) level better

Other pointers:
* Size of Ranger for parking and maneuvering is fine
* Slight modding would be good - mags, slight lift
* Coming from an A/T, going for an M/T for fuel consumption and cheaper price
* 3 years loan, so minimum of 3 years ownership

Which is better out of the two?

I will choose the montero rather
than the Ranger cause owners say
there is turbo lag on the 2.2l ranger and
and the montero is better
cause you have a babby on board,easy acces to the rear compartment kung kailangan magpalit ng diaper
si baby
BTW what happen to your other thread did you cancel the used explorer??

That's good to hear sir
brandnew will not give you a headache for a
couple of years
Are you considering other tsikots?

I have had a look at the entry-level Fortuner and the Isuzu MU-X but I prefer the Montero. The all new Everest naman is too far away to wait. Not to mention Mitsu have a 1.11m promo this Sept

[crosswind]

that's the Mitsubishi has lots of promos
kaya madami bumibili
I heard not sure may lalabas nabagong montero and starda
btw yung ayaw ko lang sa montero is yung 2nd row
medyo masikip for an SUV
What color are you getting
sulit talaga yang montero w/ 7inch screen sa harap

[joey_ed27]

Two different class SUV & Pickup. I pick the montero its just a better all around vehicle. Flexibilty in terms of usage/ needs.

Montero since di naman gagamitin ang bed ng pickup

[_Qwerty_]

masyadong cramped yung 2nd row nang pickup.. mahihirapan ang uupo don lalo na kung long drive..

[luis19cg]

tingin ko gusto lang ni TS ang porma at tindig ni ranger but his family need an SUV like montero..

[yebo]

montero. di mo naman need ang pick up e. may baby pa na passenger so more comfort for the baby. and mommy syempre.

suggest ko lang na lagyan mo ng wheel spacers on all 4 wheels kahit 1 inch lang, pang-counter sa high center of gravity.

Correct, detective. This thread just confirms my need for a Montero instead of a Ranger :D

Hi sir, were on the exactly the same shoes last year!! hehe

Summary:
My first choice Ranger pero nag hesitate ako nung tumanggi si GF kaya napa-scan ako dito sa tsikot ginamit ko ang search button para makapag research about ranger kaya nag strada nalang ako in the end.

Montero sana kaso natakot ako sa issue nya na sudden acceleration hindi naman 100% confirmed pero ayaw ko mag risk madalas kasi ako gagamit nun sasakyan. saka same engine naman sila at masmataas power to weight ratio ng strada vgt vs montero non vgt
(nasa 1.2m lang kasi target ko eh nasa 1.4m na yun montero vgt)

Fuel consumption = city driving ko with light to heavy traffic 4-5 php per km (8-10 km/L) ako sa strada knowing na A/T ito so mas tipid pa sa M/T
Maintenance = kung oil etc... mura naman basta sa labas ng casa ka bibili or mag papagawa
Parts = masmadaming alternatives sa strada/montero compare sa ranger and much cheaper
durability = madaming issues ang ranger ngayon sir na til now wala paring kasiguraduhan kung kelan maaayos pero kung willing ka mag risk go for it sir basta masaya ka sa ranger ^__^
height = kahit saan sir pwede ka magpa lift either simple lift lang na mura or yun change suspension and spring setup na medyo mahal
pero ako sir mags lang muna and tires na malaki satisfied na ako sa tinaas ng ride ko.

Montero definitely. Don't buy a pickup unless you need the pickup bed, otherwise you'll be living with an extra 1 meter of length that's a pain to park and maneuver in traffic with.

Only plus point of the Ranger (or any pickup) is that it's much cheaper than the equivalent SUV.

If you're on a tight budget and don't need 7 seats and can live with a large bed, you can get the pickup. But for majority of people, an SUV is a better fit.

Montero.

Passenger space & comfort (for family lalo na pag may child).

[jcal68]

I believe you won't be using the pickup bed 95% of the time. You are a family man. Why bother considering it an option vs an SUV?

[glenn manikis]

get what your hearts tell you...

pareho naman practical yan...

suv for additional passengers...

pickup- if you need to load tons of stuffs... pwede din pang hakot ng construction materials madami kang pwedeng ilagay sa bed ng pickup... na hindi mo pwedeng i-load sa suv... Utility naman ang pickup...

pero kung suv ang choice mo.. if i were you... choose between the MUX AND the Trailblazer nalang... newer model na and ang montero kasi masyado ng generic like the fortuner ang dami ng meron nun.. at magpapalit na nga sila ng all new model...

actually naka ranger ako... 4 months na sakin... so far so good..

pero meron kasing turbo issues maybe an isolated one.. pero hangang wala kasi silang clear na solution sa problema mahirap mag recommend ng ranger... kahit sabihin pa natin na 1 is to 100 yan.. meron ka pa din 1% chance na matenga ng matagal sasakyan mo sa casa...

same din siguro sa MONTERO... sudden acceleration naman....

if i were you, check the trailblazer and the colorado... nag log in ako sa FB ng trailblazer club and so far all praises sila, puro positive, power, efficiency, ride, handling, durability, and no issues yung lumabas na trailblazer dito sa pilipinas.... sa saudi daw meron pero minor lang, leaking aircon... pinaka downside lang siguro nito is the resale value...

me kasi pinili ko sa mga SUV IS the Trailblazer... mamaya na nga daw ma release unit ko....

[yebo]

if occasional ka lang maglalagay ng load sa bed ng pick up then i suggest you JUST RENT. sabi nga di ba "if you can rent it then don't buy." so go for the suv, montero ka na kesa ranger. yun lang nga...

#1 downside ng montero: No. 1 carnapped vehicle in the philippines. dami kasi sa daan kaya madaling ibenta, madaling i-chop-chop.

tbz 2.5 4x2 ok din, mataas lang ng 180k ang price compared sa montero glx.

[Ry_Tower]

Actually puwede nga din i-consider ni TS yung mga CUV kasi 4 lang pala karga niya. Mas comfortable at enjoyable pa riding dynamics. But MS din ako between the two.

[frostmourn]

Congrats sir glenn sa new ride. Sudden acceleration is not proven po. Sa duramax 2 po ang fuel efficient. Di ko lang po alam kung equipped na ang mga TB dito sa pinas nun. Sarap magkape. Hehe sayang di nakapunta sa world trade for auto show. Hehe
