inputs please, what would be your choice? And why?

**taraki17** · July 14th, 2012 09:59 PM

Hi!
Hoping you guys can help me choose between the two. priority is performance, then operational expenses (fuel, maint, etc.)

STRADA GLX-V / RANGER XLT M/T 4x2
Price -1.05M / 1.079M (syempre mas mura, mas ok - strada)
max power - 178PS / 150PS (mas mabilis ang strada?)
max torque - 350N-m / 375N-m (mas malakas/torqy ang ranger?)
tranny - 4 Auto / 6 Manual (mas prefer ko manual - ranger)
FC - 4at * 2.5 / 6mt * 2.2 (siguro mas matipid ang ranger)
PMS - strada (nearer casa / available parts)

IMO, Ford Ranger. Although mukhang pahirapan ata makakuha ng units ngayon.

And mas preferred mo pala manual, eh di Ranger na. :lol:

i personally prefer strada. mura na, sulit pa sa features. madali dn maintain and mitsu is very durable. parang toyota rin yan e. ang ford durable naman, pero ang mahal ng parts. if you prefer MT, why not get MT strada? pero kung madalas mo to kakargahan ng mga mabibigat, ranger is better. bago pa. e kung city lang dn naman, and you dont mind na mas luma ang strada, strada na.

Ford is also cheap to maintain as long as you know where to get your parts from aside CASA. One example is MazFord in Banawe. I'm pretty sure FCP can also give you a helping hand if ever you need to source out not-so common parts for the vehicle.

Ford is as well durable. Remember Ondoy? There were cars that was flooded until the roof and all it needed was complete detailing and few minor fixes, unlike other brands that needed a complete ECU replacement and what not.

As to why is this, ang alam ko Ford ECUs especially with the Ranger & Everest are considered waterproof. Or if not totally waterproof, malaki ang resistance sa tubig. So it's a plus as well.

Disclaimer lang: I don't own a Ford. Although a family friend used to own two. An Expedition and an Explorer Sport Trac, and boy these guys had good times with it 'til the units were sold. And if the Ranger uses the same AC system that's found on the current Everest, it's ice cold. I've been in three Everests, grabe lamig. My new Toyota can't even compare with how cold Ford's AC system is.

On a daily basis, torque lang naman usually kailangan. HP comes important when you're doing high-speed run all the time. Sa pag-akyat rin sa kung saan saan torque pa rin ang kailangan.

I'm not saying that the Strada is bad, in fact it's one good car. All I'm saying is, when you want a specific car -- and it looks like you favor the Ranger more -- get it. Mahirap magsisi.

Ang gusto ko pa sa ranger, bago pa, panalo na rin sa wheels, 17", mas prefer ko rin looks nya, mas malaki, (pero ok narin ako sa strada, kasi ***y). i assume narin na mas matipid ito sa diesel being 2.2 at 6MT.

ang negative para sa akin sa ranger ay yung price nya (29k more) at yung layo ng casa nya.
Nandito kasi ako sa Baguio, at ang nearest Ford is at Dagupan, Baguio has Motorplaza to service the strada if ever.
and performance, pero napaisip narin ako sa sinabi mo sir renzo, mabilis naman na sila dalawa.

Ano ano ba Features ang sulit sa Strada GLX-V compared sa All-New Ranger XLT?

**ratchet23** · July 14th, 2012 11:17 PM

Ranger ako dito. all-new, impressive in and out. i'm inclined getting the ranger over our other choice, the montero. nakakaturn-off yung mga nakikita ko na mauusok na montero.

yung iba as in black na black talaga labas even yung mga VGT ganun din yung iba. I guess ganun na talaga since it uses the old 4d56 though macacalibrate or program naman siguro ng CASA. the advantage of having the 4d56 is of course, the parts can be sourced from many auto supplies, cheaper too.

big problem ang test drive, wala yata TD units, wala ako kilala na naka glx-v strada, lalo na ranger, wala napapadpad dito sa norte.

ang na try ko lang i-drive is a 2007 (not sure sa year) 3.0 hilux 4x4. how does the hilux ride comfort compare to the ranger (assume) and strada? alam ko generally matagtag ang ride ng pick up, pero huwag lang parang tamaraw fx, ok na ako.

the 2012 glx-V has abs/ebd na daw.

for the ranger, at the moment, di ka talaga bibigyan ng unit not unless mag in-house financing ka or maraming kikitain yung dealer sa iyo. parang sa amin. nawala yung purpose ng reservation kasi ayaw ibigay yung unit. gusto nila kunin ko yung all-in nila which has ridiculously high interest and long term payment.

let the hype subside before buying. regular naman ata shipment ng ranger.

based from reviews, comfortable na din daw yung ranger. maybe same as strada. mas maige ata mag-strada ka nalang over the ranger sir
