Strada GLX vs. Ranger TREKKER ???

[tomasvill]

Hi to all. New to this tread and to pickup trucks too. I also had this dilema about 2 weeks ago, but decide to get the trekker. Why? I wanted an automatic. It seems that the trekker was the cheapest in the automatic 4X2 category. There was no strada 4X2 automatic. As to discounts, I got 50t pesos off, diamond glossing, lto,tint, seatcover, mats, 3yr era, 1t km,5tkm check up, and a full tank. I simply haggled with 3 dealers, thus the results. This was also my second car with them. Hope this helps with those bargain hunters, and have fun hunting. I did!

I went to ford global, they went to as low as 40t, and offered the other same free items, then leaked it to ford san pablo, they matched it. Not satisfied with the deal, I went to ford batanggas and they topped it with 50t in discounts. As to when they can hold those discounts, I don't know. Last week of Jan ito na kuha ko. I think they offered these discounts also with the manual, when I asked.

[SIZE=2]hi there, im not here to be ang inyong konsensya like in the safeguard ads... but i want to share the fun i had when i had the chance to have the Mitsubishi Strada for a day...[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]i fell in love with it as far as the appearance is concerned. when pickups used to be so boxy, im glad that strada crosses genres of sedan owners eventually getting one for their own! the style is there- without compromising utility and function. the body is a perfect balance between the interior cabin and the cargo bed. yes, the bed may not be biggest since it actually shrank, but the passenger cabin- the part of the truck that matters the most since i carry more people with their luggage is a big factor. its like saying "i am willing to give up a few inches of the pickup bed for a roomier cabin." in the end, it will matter with everyone smiling inside the cabin with the bags at the back with a little more room to spare (since my test unit had a hard bed cover). so in my opinion, getting a strada is 2 birds with 1 stone![/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]power and torque from a 2.5 liter diesel engine is by far, the strongest that i have felt. the surge of torque to go up the mountains of baguio can be done quickly. i am very much aware that the engine performance of the competition is at par with the rest, but i believe that this is one truck that i can use to maximize the payload to the hilt (just like what i did with the a 1994 Strada)! the unit that i had was the 2.5 GLS 4x4 A/T- and what more when you will actually get the 2.5 GLX 4x2- less the 4x4 component means lesser weight, therefore, quicker acceleration! fuel consumption is excellent as well. the discrepancies with its rivals is very negligible. but the bottomline is, the way how you drive matters the most. looking at the brochures, the strada GLX may not have ABS+EBD- its not like you are going to die without it, but brake force is linear and accurate! above all, everything in the truck is just about- complete![/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]at the price that is lower than the ranger, you can alot for accessories that you have in mind. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]what i also liked is that mitsubishi retailers are just about everywhere for you. the 4D56 engine may have the current common rail injection, but other components are what mechanics have memorized! and not only that, the strada club of the philippines is a group of owners that aims to help co-owners with questions, complaints and discover things they never knew existed! i came across with these guys since november and the overall impression i am getting from them is outstanding despite minor issues (see the strada thread and leave your mark by posting a quick hello), the truck makes a difference from their previous cars. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]join us? you are most welcome...[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]and i do hope that this is enough to convince you to get the strada GLX. thank you for your time. [/SIZE]

im into this before...
i've even created a poll on what to choose
it was hilux and strada then

for sure, my first choice was hilux, I'm excited to get one
when i decided to visit mitsu KarAsia dvo.
Strada has everything, just try to compare
Best value, futuristic interior
try changing into big tires and you'll have ur jaws dropped
The legroom is great and so comfortable
the most quite engine.. hear it for yourself..

In fairness to ranger, it looks so tough like a macho man (dancer)
with the strada (gay) on its side...
Hoping rangers spare parts are available locally

piece of advice... go on wid what you want
try not ending up disappointed with your truck
most people from mindanao loves isuzu
they even asked me why i've bought that spaceship hehehehehe
see! we do have lots of point of view
we're not kids anymore
we know what we want... hehehehehe

God Bless

Well, as the old line goes: depende kung saan gagamitin.

If you plan on doing a lot of hauling, go with the Trekker's torque and larger cargo bed.

If a recreational pickup is all you need, with striking good looks overall and a dependable engine, Strada na.

Strada GLX vs. Ranger TREKKER. Selling Price is almost the same after discounts.

Which of the two do u think is the better choice for me to buy???

Thanks to all of you, posting your comment on this thread: ian_rex, av8or5, MemphisRaines, mikko 018, mazingerZ, The Patriarch, Izuzoom, jondy, glycerine, tomasvill, zaza.altis, av8or5, incubus007, nismo26 and bogeyman.

I now have a better criteria in choosing which pick-up to buy, the Trekker or the Strada GLX! I will have to decide by next week. I am waiting for strada's test drive unit, anytime from now. I tested drive the Trekker yesterday and i am relly impressed with its performance. The agent, who was with me was so afraid the way i drove it, me trying to feel the acceleration and engine response. I am just doubtful about the comfort at the rear seats! In front, i felt to some extent the bumpiness. Other than that, it is a perfect pick-up for me.

As to the price, looking at the best offers among the different dealers, the difference is about 20T pesos, in favor of Strada GLX (means cheaper)

Will keep you posted on the result of my test drive of strada, and on my final decision on which of the two I will buy!!!

Again TY for posting your messages. Hope you continue doing so!

Happy pick-up hunting and goodluck
