    thanks guys. Since I dont need the 4x4 feature and I wont be traveling to very rough roads (mostly sa mga lubak lubak lng sa expressway or sa manila), Im planning to get the 2.5 GLX na lang. IN this case i think, power to weight ratio will be a great help to me since city traveling lang or kung may province man, not into really tough road conditions.....but my prob is it dont have fenders and wheel diameter size is very thin...do you recommend changing wheels to 265/70 R16 without any power degredation or problems? Im planning also to install fenders...will cost be okay? 2.5GLX is P888 plus additional cost for fenders and changing tires...while 2.5GLS is 1.1M all in...except still has 245/70 tires.....medyo akward kasi manipis masyado....


    thanks

    set na po yun. if you want body colored, mga P8500 set din.

    yung tires i posted are of course per piece. if you have time, we have mini-eb tonight at chops bbq at ortigas home depot 8pm. you can talk with strada owners and learn more about the truck you want.

    yun good..mas makakamura pala talga kung glx then upgrade the looks to be like gls...i dont need 4x4 kasi i have another car na 4x4 already...i just need pang harabas sa daan. I mean yung car na madalas ko gamitin na can go anywhere watever type of road na dadaanan.....ayoko lang ng ibang SUV. They might be not asa tough as pick ups when it comes to road conditions dito sa manila or south area...another option ko is everest...kya lng mas prefer ko yung sasakyan na hindi ako matatakot iderederecho sa mga lubak sa expressway or sa edsa...yung tipong bale wala talga yung lubak.....i cant attend EBs pa right now e...maybe pgka bili ko....i need your inputs talga...

    many thanks....if you have more suggestions and recommendations, pls post it...big help mga bro.......


    god bless!!!

    after market flairings of GLX looks like the flairings of the GLS... looks can be deceiving...it will take several assessment to see the differences... if you don't need 4x4, why buy? but of course, it depends on you sir...


    GLS (4x4) has:

    4x4
    multi info display
    tpms
    auto aorcon
    armrest
    retractable rear window
    fender flaire, belt

    I suggest that you should attend the Strada mini eb for your other queries... the members are friendly...

Strada, which variant? 2.5L or 3.2L?
