strada AT or ranger AT?

Spend sometime reading the Ford Ranger thread here. Dami nagrereklamo with various complaints like very high PMS, expensive parts and harder to find spare parts outside CASA, transmission problems, etc... Also one of the common complaints is the 2.2 version is just not cutting it. My guess is it's too underpowered for the much bigger and heavier chassis than the 3.2 version is more fuel efficient becuase it has a better power-to-weight ratio. Same thing happened in the new Vios. Since the new Vios is bigger and heavier than the previous gen. the 1.5 version is more fuel efficient than the 1.3.

Also, if you are not in a hurry. Wait for the new Strada that will come out either in the 4th qtr or 1st half of next year. Baka biglang ka mag-sisi pag di mo hinintay.

BT50 is an alternative, if you want the ranger. Looks are a toss-up and is always subjective.

Strada GLS V owner here, for me, ang katapat nya ay ang 3.2 Ranger Wildtrak, mas maganda talaga ang wildtrak at mas maraming features ( deal breaker nga lang for me ang wala syang 7inches touchscreen at rear window that opens). but hearing all the hassles and horror stories in acquiring the wildtrak 3.2 and the much higher costs involved, DI and all, i am glad i bought the strada GLS V. bihira ko namang gamitin ang bed, so kahit maliit sya compared sa iba ay ayos pa rin, as long as the cabin space is really spacious dahil yun naman ang mas mahalaga eh, comfortable din ang ride. and of course, you MUST change its tires to a much bigger one para di sya awkward tingnan. 15 months old already and NO major/minor problem sa engine. my fuel consumption is between 9km/l to 12.5km/liter, more than 10k kms na itinakbo nya.

pero kung between the GLX V strada and Ranger XLT matic, super lamang ang XLT sa maraming aspects. sa tires and rims pa lang, mas maganda at malaki ang ranger.
