Which Pick-up please help...

[romshi]

Nakapag-lipat bahay ako, APV lang gamit ko. How often will you be carrying around furniture?

Kung hindi naman madalas, you might want to ask yourself if it's worth the tradeoff of less comfort, hefty size, and compromised passenger space. Marami kasi bumibili ng kotse planning those once-in-a-blue-moon activities pero 99.9% of the time pang daily commute lang.

Hindi naman madalas Sir kakargahan, so parang pang ready lang in case meron kelangan ulit ng kargahan.

You can fold down the seats of a Montero or Innova you know, for the occasional kargahan.

But if you're hell bent on getting a pickup, it's really a choice between a full-on truck (Ranger), or a carlike truck (Strada).

Thanks Sir.

Another noob question Sir, ok lang po ba sa city driving/high way ang 5speed lang compare sa 6speed? Matakaw po ba sa gas ang 5speed lang?

[GTi]

Depende parin sa driving habits mo bro. Even a 4 speed matic can be thrifty if you drive it right. Besides, you most likely won't be able to use 6th gear most of the time. Though that one's good to have in the highway.

Napakaluma na ng 4speed transmission. dapat i-phase out na yan at wala na dapat bumili nyan mapa AT or MT. At least 5 speed na kunin mo.

consumption depends on the rpm sir. pg mostly city driving ka mas maganda ang matic dahil hindi ka nag over rev sa stop and go na traffic. but pag sa provincial area w/c has a long stretch of road and no traffic mas ok ang manual. but it still depends on your right foot. if m/t try changing gear at low rpm to increase fuel efficiency.

Kung out of the blue na kargahan lang i-pa deliver monalang kung appliances at mag hire ka ng L300 Van kung mga furnitures, mas makakamura kapa. Then use the money to buy the car you really like. But if you really want a pick-up for everyday use, then either get a strada or a dmax, if you want something na latest then get a ranger.

you may want to include in your selection list the chevrolet colorado. pasok sa budget mo yung 2.5L 4x2 MT * 1.148M

Strada ang best choice mo.

[imperialv]

How often do you that? IMHO, you really want to buy a pickup and trying to justify it ..

Tama yung sinabi ni *jut703, 1% lang yan sa activity na ginagawa mo, pero 99% hindi naman nangyayari..

Like karamihan, sinasabi, gusto ng mataas na ground clearance, kasi binabaha ang Metro Manila, pero kung titignan mo ang daily route nya, hindi naman siya nababaha.. Siguro mataas na yung gutter deep flood.

Sir sometimes kasi meron akong kelangan ilipat na lamesa, chairs, etc... Or pag bumibili ng small appliances di naman Sir naikakarga sa mga Innova yun eh.

[imperialv]

It does not matter kung 5 speed or 6 speed, nasa driving habit mo pa din yan.. And kung city driving ka lang at laging traffic, you won't appreciate the additional gear..

Thanks Sir.

Ako mas gusto ko pa rin pickup kahit I know I can live with a sedan. Mas matibay kas and makesme less oc in driving on pholippine roads. Kahit sa banketa pwede mo sampa sampa. Mas maporma siya for me vs suvs hehehe. Kaya kanyang trip. Form over functionality for me hehe. RANGER!

Hindi mo naman siguro gagamiting pang karera ang pick-up truck lalo pag may kargada kang furniture. Gaya ng comment ni GTi, kahit 4 speed pa yan, walang problema.

naalala ko tuloy yung HANGOVER III. Yung may karga siyang giraffe..

Mga Sir good morning, salamat sa mga nagrereply I really appreciate it. But unfortunately undecided pa din ako which pick-up will I go. Pasensya na po. Halos lahat po kasi magaganda, especially pag nakakasalubong ko sila sa daan, Ranger, Colorado, Navara, DMAX at Strada, nangyayari kasi pag nakasalubong ko si Colorado napapagusto ko tapos pag si Ranger nakasalubong ko din napapagusto rin ako.

Ganito na lang mga Sir hingi na lang ako ng advise dito sa mga pinaka-gusto ko mga pickup. Pasensya na po kung paulit-ulit ako.

1. Navara - eto po sana pinaka gusto ko, kasi machong macho ako dito pag nakakasalubong ko, yun issue ko sa ground clearance siguro pwede ko na palampasin kasi yun baha naman dito sa area ko pag tag-ulan above the knee lang naman eh, kaya lang ang isa pang di ko gusto dito eh yun interior, medyo luma po ata style na, paki enlighten naman po ako sa interior ng Navara and yun mga features nito.

2. Strada - second choice ko sana, kasi ayos ang interior at features, kaya lang nakukulangan po ako sa machoness ika nga. Plan ko sana palitan agad ng gulong in case eto kunin ko.

3. Ranger - actually naka-reserve pa din ako dito hanggang ngayon for almost 1month na. May DP ako na 10K pero wala pa din linaw kung kelan magkaka-unit. Pero sa pag-iisip ko parang naaalangan po ako kung gagamitin ko sya araw-araw as my service, kasi medyo malaki ho to para sa akin, tapos no decent parking pa dun sa office ko, tapos baka di ko nga masyado magamit yun purpose ng truck na to.

4. Colorado - parehas lang sya sa tingin ko sa laki ng Ranger, pero medyo mas mahal sya kumpara sa iba tapos wala pa mga bed liner na kasama, pero head turner to pag dala dala mo, issue is same sa Ranger as everyday car.

5. DMAX - wala ako macocomment dito kasi hindi ko sya nasakyan although yun mga naririnig kong comment eh maingay daw makina at mausok kaya siguro di ako nagkaka-interes.

6. HiLux - for me masyado syang truck kaya di rin ako masyado nagka interes dito.

So mga Sir wag po sana kayong magagalit ha kung paulit-ulit lang ako, gusto ko lang po talaga ng tulong makapag decide kung alin.

Kung kayo po ang pipili para sa'kin alin po kaya yun fit sa'kin, everyday Car na slight utility lang.


Maraming salamat po uli sa inyong lahat.

[rna800]

Thanks Sir sa reply ha, and pasensya ka na kung masyado ata akong choosy. Ayaw ko lang talaga magkamali sa pagbili ko, although I know naman wala talagang perfect na Car.

Navisit ko na rin pala ang Chevy Colorado pero medyo malaki rin sya eh tulad ng sa Ranger, and isa pa medyo mahal na tapos wala pa bed liner, yun ibang car di ko sinali sa list kasi wala pa sa area ko yun mga office nila eh ang hirap sa maintenance kung sa malayo ko pa dadalhin.

Sir kung hindi mo naman ikagagalit, kung ikaw pipili based dun sa gusto ko na medium size lang, ayos ang interior at exterior looks and for city driving mostly, alin Sir pipiliin nyo?

Thanks.

I own a Dmax, sir, so I am biased towards it. So if you will ask me, Dmax ang pipiliin ko. For me kasi gusto ko ang exterior looks niya. Wala na akong kailangan pang i-modify para mapaganda pa. Interior, hmm, ok lang, nothing to really brag about or make you wow. Model 08 ung akin so walang mga accessories as compared to the '13 model.

Engine, it's not a sprinter pero never ka naman niya ipapalya sa akyatan and kahit sa highway. Mabilis din naman siya, mine can run up to 175 kph then the speed limiter will interfere.

But don't really expect much comfort especially if you sit at the back, matagtag kasi. It does about 10+ kms/liter, city driving. Full tank ko is around 1800 pesos and it does about 600 kms.

Maintenance if it's expensive, it depends on the parts that need to be replaced. Just check the Dmax thread if you wanna see kung ano ano na ung na-replaced sa Dmax ko. Pero mahal din ang parts niya especially the SCV, EGR, brake pads, such and such.

Yun nga lang matagal na siya sa market and rumor has it that the all new is coming soon... Kung totoo man un.

But if you will put the Ranger in the picture, doon talaga ako. Mas bago, mas macho, mas gwapo.

Good luck in choosing!

Hehe, ayos!

For me, I want a pick-up because it is a truck. Being a truck, kelangan hauler sya. Hindi pang porma at lakong hindi pang karera. Kargador dapat at matipid sa krudo.

Kung inaala mo ang space (size ng truck) at parking space. I think kung papasok ang nguso ng Strada, papasok din ang nguso ni Radikal at ni Wildtrak. Kung gusto mong makipaghabulan sa Skyway, siguro naman, aabutan mo rin sila sa toll gate.

Absent nga yata sir ha. Baka nagpalit ng sim cards.

* TS, my advise is.. Test drive and choose what your heart tells you. You won't regret it no matter what defects and shortcomings it will make if you really like it. I'd been in your shoes on 2008 (same with Sir rna800). Been for a market for my all-arounder car that can haul and yet get the speed (i usually do long drives). That time Strada and Navara were the newest truck. Now, dami mo na pagpipilian na bago dami ka din aalamin na mga defects. LoL

Since this is an alternate car, don't complain with the size kaya nga you're choosing pickup because you have already the idea of its size and how big it maneuvers.. Hindi naman nagkakalayo size nyan, wheelbase at ground clearance lang pero yung haba halos parehas.

As for the flood, as a general rule kung hindi mo na makita ang gutter dont drive thru it lalo na hindi kabisado.. Kung hub-height ang tubig kaya din ng kahit ano pickup. Kung buong gulong ang lubog kaya pa rin pero don't dare do it at madami sisirain na bearings at pang ilalim yan - tulad ng transfer case at axle na pwede pasukin ng tubig.

Re 6 speed based from my own ride(Navara), useful sa twisty roads where you need to attack the corners without downshifting. Also useful during steep climbs and hauling. Yung 5th gear kasi ng 6-speen parang additional lang ng ordinary 5 gears, nilagay lang in between 4 and 5 so you get more medium to highspeed gearband.

Fuel economy will depend on how addicted you are to torque. CRDI engine almost same consumption.

Speed? Depends on the driver, but i find Nav dynamics more comfortable on high speed. Strada, Hilux, Dmax, and Ranger nababagalan ako sa acceleration, hirap sa habulan, but they can still keep up. Again driver factor pa rin ito.

Ride quality.. What quality? they're leaf sprung pickups trucks. Seriosuly, Strada has edge on this but it compromised the load capacity, put larger wheels and ur getting dribbled by unsprung weight. With the 4x2 Nav, leaf springs are thicker for higher load capacity, so there you go.. matagtag. 4x4 Nav gets the softer ride thou same(if not better) with the Strada. All these pickups just like any leaf sprungs, rides softens when laden.

Reliability will depend on maintenance. The life of vehicle greatly depend on the engine, no engine and your truck is good as dead. For CRDI, the fuel is what you need to watch out. CRDI works on very tight clearances that small impurities could destroy the costly fuel system. I find the 2 fuel filters of Navara very ideal for our dirty fuel.
