February 18th, 2020 09:35 AM #32Not being biased, since i have no Hilux. I dream of owning a pick up someday though.hehehe
But, some of my friends do have the hilux. some are already packing up miles with no problems at all. Around 150,000 kilometers still no problem.
One also have a Toyota Conquest with 40,000 kilometers and it is a 1 year old car.
The hilux can withstand daily used as well as abused. One of your consideration is that you would keep it for at least 10 years and the parts should be reliable and available. Then the answer is the Hilux.
No comment ako sa Navara since, i have a friend who owns one pero bago pa.hehehe so yun.
It is bulletproof. same sa innova, since the innova has the same IMV platform with the Hilux.
Upgrade2 nalang if budget permits para ma address yung tagtag issues. just my two cents though. hehehe

February 18th, 2020 12:50 PM #35I tested all except the VL 4x4and i found the Ranger the best in this segment when it comes to ride quality and features. Second is the strada. Third is a toss between the navarra and dmax. But at the end of the day, I opted for the Strada GT, had it lifted. 2 inch suspension lift and 2 inch body lift coupled it with cooper discoverer stt pro 295/70/r17 tires.

I would scratch out the Ranger and the NIssans in your list. My Family had owned several vehicles thru the years with one uncle maintaining an autoshop. The other brands are ok until parts breakdown and that you will come to understand who is king in reliability. The Fords and the Nissans are a headache when it comes to repairing their mechanical and non-mechanical issues esp with parts availability (ie parts mounting are different for different model era unlike Toyota). with Aftermarket support, Toyota is number one on the list, just look at the Australian aftermarket brands (ARB, OME, Ironman, TJM, Toughdog, Dobinson's, etc). This plethora of products from down under have all their parts avail even with the old model toyotas. I cant say this with other car brands. The only problem I see with Toyota (any toyota model) is their ubiquity probably because of their time-tested reliability...
But still at the end of the day, it is your hard-earned money's worth so it is clear u know who is who, so listen to what your heart wants and go for it...

February 18th, 2020 01:14 PM #37Reliability is not the only metric, otherwise why not settle for a dump truck which is arguably more reliable than a pickup truck. In the pickup segment, especially in the lower variants, Toyota scrimps on many things. Most 4x2s of the brands you mentioned (except Toyota) already have the bells and whistles of their 4x4 counterparts.

February 18th, 2020 01:18 PM #38I'll choose either Hilux Conquest or Strada.
IMO Toyota's D4D era of Hilux, Innova, Fortuner and Hiace are bulletproof. Kahit matakbo basta regular maintenance you'll have no problem

February 18th, 2020 01:35 PM #39Why not consider getting the Hilux G 4x2 a/t? The non-conquest Hilux G.
I'll choose the G over the conquest

alas, much as we might want to rely on our noses, we may not use our noses to do emissions...
