Strada, which variant? 2.5L or 3.2L?

[downshifter]

For strada, under powered ba ang 2.5L 4x4? baka this is the same with pajero na 2.5L 4x4....kulang sa power.....thanks

for our club members who own 2.5L 4x4 they are not complaining. It's not comparable to the pajero because iba rin ang turbo component ninya although they share the same engine.

please visit the New Mitsubishi Strada thread to view comments on the vehicle you have in mind.

okay. Im just worried baka 2.5L na 4x2 has more power than 2.5L na 4x4 due to power to weight ratio tapos they have same engine....If 4x4 is not a consideration, is it advisable to get instead the 4x2 2.5L na lng?



more inputs pls....


thanks

*downshifter... hi there. it is still advisable to purchase a Strada 2.5 GLS- only available in Manual Transmission. The Automatic Transmission Variant was deleted to avoid redundancy with the 3.2 GLS Sport Automatic. the 2.5 GLX 4x4 has been discontinued to make way for the 4x2 variants.

Just when i thought the Gen 2 (1999-2006) Strada 2.5 4x4 T/C I/C was good enough, what more for the latest version! I test drove this particular model several times and i'm still impressed with its power delivery since i drove it around for doing errands driving up/down the hills of Baguio City! what i liked about it is the torque rating at 314nm - (it may not be much compared to the 3.0 Hilux- which is aimed at the Strada 3.2) but definitely MORE than the Global D-Max 4x2 or 4x4 at 294nm! Admittingly, the 4x2 Strada with the same engine has a better power/weight ratio and even a better payload rating! But i'm still satisfied with the performance of a 2.5 GLS 4x4 M/T.

in conclusion, the Strada 2.5 GLS 4x4 is still very capable.

hello sir downshifter!!!

strada 2.5L enough... we own one and I don't have any complains regarding to its power... 160kph is no sweat...

strada 2.5 4x2 is good enough if your driving in cities and places that won't require more traction... 2.5 engine is not underpowered vs. its weight...

strada 3.2L is better for some added features and to satisfy you if your not contented with a 2.5L engine...

[mazdamazda]

3.2L... you can never ever have enough power - but that's just me.

Seriously, the new 2.5L engine found in the Strada is enough for it.

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

sir aftermarket fender flares OEM color is only P7K, tires from 265/75/16 P5000 to 265/70/16 P5900 to ATRs P6000. if you want AT tires, maybe P9500 for mikeys.

hope this helps.

[downshifter]

the fender flares is 7K set? or 1pc?

[av8or5]

the fender flares is 7K set? or 1pc?

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.

[downshifter]

sir, may idea kayo kapag OEM flarings din? mas gus2 ko yung from casa talaga e...

if flarings and wheels are affordable, do you recommend na i should get the 2.5GLX na lang and do the modifications? mukang mas cheaper e....kesa 2.5GLS but i dont need the 4x4 feature.....

[mikko_018]

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...

Hello, downshifter, not to let you down. Mukhang matibay naman ang strada for everyday city-driving and highway use. But if driving comfort is a main factor, and the way you plan to use the vehicle is as what you have described above, I think you'll be better off with an SUV, an Everest in your case. Medyo jarry ang manibela ng strada sa lubak. But for passenger comfort, maganda talaga ang ride ng strada, wala akong masabi.

I suggest that you test drive a strada and pass through potholes and see if the jarriness is ok with you. Kung ok at walang problema, then go ahead and acquire one.....you are in for a winner.

The strada has a lot other excellent characteristics that made us love the truck.

[downshifter]

thanks ooba99...everest and strada talaga options ko...the reason i want strada is because i have a 4x4 SUV already. Im thinking of a different vehicle na may ibang function saken in the near future..like pg may ikakarga ko na gmet and at the same time, pro-lubak talaga...medyo ayaw ko na nung preno ng preno lage sa mga lubak e.....but since everest is also good in off-roading and has better seating capacity, medyo confused ako.....nkaka enganyo lang kasi yung strada kasi very affordable yung GLX nila tpos i can upgrade to GLS looks na hindi naman gagastos ng madami....


btw, what is the best tire size for the GLX 4x2? pede ba dito yung 265/70 R16?



thanks

nonetheless, i encourage you with meet up with the Strada Owners- usually every friday night. they can give you further details- to see is to believe- ika nga...

it is still best to go for the 245/70R16- size of the 2.5 GLS because of the width of the stock rim of the GLX - pwede rin yung 265 but the appearance looks odd. IMO

[downshifter]

thanks...im not available to attend pa kasi..kya this forum is really very convenient for me.....ope owners can give me more info here.....

For this reason alone, the pick-up would be better.

[hominid]

Makikisabat po,

Thingking about this vehicle also.

Eh kung GL kaya -> GLS look tutal replace all tires/wheels naman. Mukang lalong mas mura. Close to GLX ang price me Carryboy canopy na cguro. Hindi lang cguro mahahabol un grill. Un side mirror makukuha rin malamang.

All power din ba GL ? Accrdng to motion car yes.

???

Salamat
