Which pickup should I choose this 2020?

**hdj80** · February 18th, 2020 01:40 PM

My take on this is that all these new pickups are great when they’re new. Bagong bago, so okay talaga.

But down the road, maybe after 4-5 years, you’ll see which ones are really okay. Especially if you plan on keeping it for the long term.

The Hilux is very much known and proven to be reliable as well as adequate to suit most people’s needs. It isn’t as bare bones as the previous gen, with lots of features in the E and G variants. It may not be a stellar performer according to some reviews but its above average in all respects.

Nissan is okay, and the power and suspension are great, but di pa rin ako bilib sa reliability nya. Our new navara had the notorious kabig issue and it was only fixed on the third try by casa when they had the bridgestone service center fix it.

Ranger is the top performer on paper but I’ve had friends complain about its reliability like the transmission and electronics. Nagpalit na din sila sa hilux/fortuner. But hey when it runs, it runs very well. Maselan lang sya sa electricals if you’re planning on upgrading lights and horn. Its ride is also very good considering leaf springs din sya almost on par with Navara in comfort.

Dont rely also on the specs on paper, kasi iba din once you drive it yourself.

Honestly though, if you’re going to sink 1M++ of your hard earned money test drive them all and go for what your gut feels tell you. Mahirap mag rely sa sinasabi ng iba.

"parking issues."
we think of this, when buying car.

Thank you for this insight sir.

And thank you everyone for your inputs. It's now down to Toyota Conquest 4x2 AT vs Nissan Navara 4x4 VL AT. I can go either way, the deciding factor would be the offer of the banks. And the discount from the dealership and freebies. Would the sales agent still get a commission if I go for the Banks' regular scheme instead of the dealerships partnership scheme with the bank?

4x2 lang ang Hikux Conquest? Puro aesthetic pala.
