D-max? ito ba yung ipapalit sa fuego? meron na ba nito sa pinas?

How about Nissan Frontier, maganda ba yung bagong model nila?

Regarding the Strada, medyo malaki nga raw cabin space nya as said by my friend who has one, compare to the old frontier...kaya lang parang luma na ang dating sa akin eh...last year halos ganun na rin ang hitsura nya, although looks are not a priority for me....kaya lang natutuwa ako sa hitsura nang mga pick-up ngayon dyan sa atin...

Nang umuwi kasi ako last week eh puro Nissan pick-ups ang nakikita ko sa kalsada...ganda nung 2003 frontier, titanium edition yata yon...(correct me if Im wrong pero me sticker kasing ganun eh..)

me mga ford ranger rin akong nakita, 2003 model raw yon sabi nung kasama ko... sayang nga lang at hindi ko nagawang makapunta sa mga dealership, ilang araw lang kasi ako dyan....

anyway, tnx kimpoy for your input....

any more input from anyone??

[5Speed]

hehehe...nakita ko na yung D-max don sa isang thread...ganda nga... astig... biglang napasama sa listahan nang pagpipilian...hehehe

kaya lang ang pangit nang aftersale service nang isusu, yung construction co. nang pinsan ko dati, ginawa daw nilang service vehicle noon ang isusu, after a while binenta raw nila lahat yung unit at kumuha na lang nang L200 dahil napakawalang kwenta raw ang casa nang isusu, just imagine under warranty pa raw yung mga sasakyan eh ganun na ang treatment sa kanila...hehehe pati yata yung mga truck eh lumipat sa Canter nang mitsu....

mukhang hanggang ngayon eh ganun pa rin sila eh based on the crosswind thread dito sa tsikot... sayang ang isusu maganda ang mga vehicles nila in terms of engine/performance...kaya lang nasisira ang pangalan nila dahil sa aftersales services nila...a lot of companies/individuals are shying away from them not because of their vehicles but of their service.... hindi naman lahat, kaso most of their casa yata eh.....

I want to give out reviews like sir niky... I hope I get it right.

Mitsubishi Strada
Interior - The plastics of the Strada is not so bad, however, when it comes to the side upholstery, its very plasticky. Not much of a pain if you intend to be in the mud all the time since its easy to clean plastics compared to fabric upholtery. The seating comfort of the Strada is a plus, it has good support and its comfortable for long drives. Even mothers would testify that it has a good ride.

Exterior - The exterior seems wierd for starters. But if you have watched the previous Dakar Rally, you will see 4 Pajero Evo's fighting for the win. The Strada's face resembles to the Pajero Evo MPR13. The spaceship look is unique to all pick-ups who wanted to stay conservative. The only minus of the Strada is that, it doesnt bring you the best bed liner space compared to its competitors. The 4x2 Strada is now ready for reservations, it will be similar to the 4x4's height and its around your 800K range.

Performance - The 2.5L is very enough. Suffers a little lag but still goes zooming on the expressway. The 3.2L version is already in our shores for just 1.230M which is almost in the same price tag of the 2.5L. Highway on the Strada 2.5L will give you around 15km/l. On the city, it will consume at about 9-12 km/l depending on the traffic.

Safety - The new Strada suffers little body roll than the former Strada. All Strada variants have the ABS, EBD, and Dual Airbags as standard. Something that you will never find in you Hilux and Ranger in the same price range.

Actually, the D-Max is now the most powerful , edging out the Ranger by 3 horses (120 vs. 117 hp).

[notEworthy27]

Strada pa ren! hehe :D wala akong pake sa mga specs na yan! nasa drayber pa rin! hehe

[Olive Drab]

hi-lux for me.

[kimpOy]

hilux na bago?

o

hilux na 1997 with all leaf spring suspension

[5Speed]

Olive/kimpoy,

ganda nga nang porma at reliability nang toyota hi-lux, kaya lang naka-drive na ako long time ago, around 1997, masyadong matagtag at maliit ang interior space compare to strada/fuego, well family man na ako kaya kasama na sa consideration ko ang ample space and ride comfortability everytime na mag-aacquire ako ng sasakyan whether its a sedan or truck. anyway leaf spring pa yung na-drive ko non, ewan ko lang kung malaki ang pinagbago nang hilux ngayon...
