So far, hanap po muna ako ng matinong Ford Dealers most likely in between Ford Alabang, Ford Global or Ford Davao whichever has good deals to offer for my Bank PO. Patience is a virtue.
Chief, just a suggestion.... If you're into pickups and want to know which one among the offers is the best this 2014, WAIT for the arrival of the new Isuzu D-max 3.0 iTEQ VGS Turbo in Pinas, and also, that is if you can swing in just a bit more money for, say, a 4x2 manual-tranny model.

It's not a bad pickup despite of its relatively low power & torque numbers in the paper spec (180 metric-hp, 380 Nm torque from 1800-3000 rpm).... In fact, the 4x4 version kinain niya lahat ng toughest 4x4 pickups sa Australia (and in the UK, and the place where the diesel engine originated, Germany) for the best pickup of the year award, beating the vaunted Ford Ranger, the king-of-sales Toyota Hilux, Mazda BT-50, the new Holden Colorado (Chevrolet Colorado) and new Volkswagen Amarok.

The "other" new D-max, which is the Euro-issue D-max with the 2.5-litre twin-turbo 4JK1-TCK, won in Germany for 2013 under the influential Auto Bild Magazine and in the UK ;)

Goodluck.... Cheers!
