    We are currently scouting for a new vehicle. It will be used in our RTW business which would carry maximum of 4 sacks (same size as rice). Pang city driving lang naman. We could also be putting roller up for added safety from "magnanakaws" Which of the 2 would be most practical (fuel consumption,maintenance,driveability--feel of the clutch and resale value)??

    both trucks are a good buy, but may problem pa kase sa D4d engine ng Toyota. so ill go with the Strada

    pwede din Navarra, which is incredibly fast and torquey.

    Hilux vs Strada vs Navarra

    FC - Hilux, Strada, Navarra i think?
    Torque - Navarra
    Speed - Navarra
    Comfort - Strada
    Suspension(for harassment) - Navarra and hilux, medyo nalalambutan kase ako sa Starda but maitbay pa din


    anyways, wait for more post

    edit: pwede din idagdag ang Ford Ranger

    its your choice

    Don't worry about the D4D engine of the Hilux. It doesn't have the woes that the Innova D4D and Fortuner D4D has. So, you're safe.

    With a maximum of 4 sacks of rice, that's pretty light for a pick-up to carry so any will do.

    The Navara wouldn't be as practical as the others because of it's 1M+ price range.

    Your best bet here would be the Strada IMO. Not only it has a good suspension ( hence, not bouncy inside unlike the Hilux ) but also it has a pretty good price range.

    But since you're just going to use this for business purposes only, the Strada GL would suffice. Cheaper, yet it has the same " strength " and " purpose " as what other Strada variants has.

    However, you could also opt for the Hilux FX. I really am not sure how much is this compared to the Strada's but atleast, you get a cabin wherein you could not only place your sacks of rice on but also can accommodate more people. ;)

    Navara and Trekker even their 4x2 is beyond our budget. Value for money is what we are really after; and also safety and you just cant ignore the hilux E and strada glx with its 900k+ prices.

    Syempre biased ako sa strada. But im satisfied naman sa performance nya & kahit maraming ngsasabi na maliit yung bed pero you'll be surprised kung ano ang makakarga mo. Best bang for the buck IMO.

    wag naman yung hilux fx.hehe the strada gl would be too bare. we are willing to add a few thousand bucks for added features such as power windows,abs, etc.


    btw, does the hilux E have abs?

    The Strada GLX will give you the best of both worlds. it is a more suitable daily driver because the suspension is much more refined as well as its stock aesthetics and features that doesn't scream "BARE" in addition to that, the passenger cabin has been maximized for comfort. This may have been done at the expense of cargo bed. but its not that much though as it is still very usable and it comes with a protective bedliner too- so pushing those boxes of RTWs in the pickup bed will never give you that guilty feeling of paint scratches. In fact, it was never a big issue in CLUB discussions about the truck. Im positive it will help you both in your livelihood and an active lifestyle ahead of you.

    'hope that helps.

    Ride comfort = navarra
    Strada= best back seat + best for parking, small streets
    Hilux= reliable but not comfy
    Dmax= if you sell mineral water, piglets. Oldest engine of all.

    Ako din mga sir, searching for our first car.

    Pangprovince sya, so baka gamitin pang-akyat sa bukid (pero not everytime, baka once a year lng), at dapat mataas para panglaban sa baha, at paminsan-minsan baka gamitin magdala ng ilang sack of rice or corn.

    So, dahil jan, pick-up napili namin na first car.

    But, we have a very tight budget. So, hingi ako advice ano maganda.
    Also, maintenance, FC, PMS.

    Ito na rin siguro gamitin ko para matuto magdrive, kaya ano maganda edrive na pickup.hehe

    Salamat mga boss.

    Sir, evaluate nyo mabuti needs nyo, back when I was still in high school my dad bought a pick up, it was a 90's era Mazda B2200, it was bought primarily to haul stuff saka pang hatid sundo sa akin that time, yun nga lang di rin na utilize masyado, what happened was mas madalas namin kailangan magsakay ng tao kesa kargahan. My dad sold that pick up after only 2 years and replaced it with an L300 van na naging mas may silbi sa amin since it can carry up to 12 people tapos pag natupi yung backseat malaki pa rin ang kargahan.

    What I'm trying to say is that pick ups are useful vehicles, but its not for everyone.

    Tnx sa advice sir, ang main reason ko kasi bakit pick-up, kasi medyo mataas sya, so maganda panglaban sa baha. Bahain kasi sa amin, kunting ulan, umaapaw ang ilog sa amin.
    Actually, kino-consider ko pa rin na malamang madalas tao kesa karga ang pagkakagamitan. Kaso, yung papasok kasi sa budget namin ay adventure or avanza(kung hauling ng tao ang purpose), kaso subrang baba naman para makalusong sa baha. Kung Montero/Fortuner naman, subra nang mahal, at parang yung fuel efficiency ay angat parin ang pick-up.

    Pero, inisip rin namin kasi ang tao sa amin, pede din sumakay sa pick-up bed, mas enjoy pa nga sila.haha. wag lang umulan.

    Nevertheless, salamat sa payo sir.
    icoconsider ko po lahat ng sasabihin ninyo.
    Anyway baka mga 2nd half pa naman ako makakabili ng car.

    Need to carry both people and cargo? FB type nalang siguro? I wonder if the new Hilux and Strada have FB type variants already though the D-Max has it. You get the high ground clearance and ruggedness of a pickup and the capacity of a passenger van.

    Tnx mga boss.
    FB type is the best for utility purposes talaga.
    Although nawala yung prestige/porma bilang saksayan.hehe

    For family use at paminsan-minsan personal use sana yung sasakyan, kaya yung meju may konting porma sana. Kahit yung porma lang ng adventure. Naisip ko nga dati yung crosswind, kahit yung XT lang kasi mura, kasu mas maganda ang mga features ng Adventures, kaya meju leaning ako sa adventure, kung di lang sa mababaw na land clearance.

    Anyway, salamat po inyong mga advice.
    These points will be considered lahat po.

    Ang alam ko yung lumang Hilux at Strada meron. Never seen the all new models with FB type variants yet though.

    I've seen the FB version of the new D-Max though and it's quite nice, and already with lots of them on the road. It also seems to be the only one in its class with standard power amenities.

    Pero hindi ko alam kung sino mas mbigat sa kanila. Tingin ko malaking factor ang bigat ang auto sa hilahan e..
