Fasten your seatbelt! Or else...Driven To Thrill!
Sayo tolerable renzo kasi isa lang fonts mo tsaka di chopsuey na bold,italics...
tsaka your light green is easy on the eyes. Pero yung isa pag laging ganun na chopsuey it really is an eyesore...
Technical bable is really worthless when the medium of presentation distracts the reader from the substance of the material ( Oha! ) :vader:
Back to topic, Strada vgt ba? hehehe![]()
Why not run both of them on a dyno to end all speculation re:performance? I agree with sir LR, we shouldn't rely on published figures, specially when the source is the same entity that stands to profit from them.
Another thing, choosing a car isn't just a matter of choosing between which engine+tranny is best. It's better to get the one that's the best fit for you.
choosing a car... in this case, a pickup... is not always about pulling power... lakas nga ng oto mo pero bagok naman ulo mo sa katagtag (pwera lang kung yun ang gusto mo)...
yoko ng feeling na pagbaba ng pasahero mo eh lahat nasusuka...
kahit ang torque niyan spread out from 0 to 9500 rpm kung it doesnt suit your need, aanhin mo yung "feature" na yun...
mas gusto ko ng pickup na kahit di gaanong malakas sa kung ano mang rpm basta comfortable ako (may laman man ang oto o magisa ko)... kesa, kalakas-lakas kinalog naman lahat ng utak ng mga nakasakay...
Good technical read. Too bad the thread was inundated by comments from keyboard warriors...
being a member of a pickup club, i havent seen anyone of the clubmates who are ALWAYS pulling and carrying heavy loads, in fact, most of their pickups are empty...
even my friend's truck's bed (a civil engr) is almost always empty... and he has several projects throughout luzon... and he bought it supposedly for "pulling and carrying" and yet he uses it as a daily driver and he has other cars to use... because he enjoys driving it more than the rest of his cars...
if you want a pickup, it not always for its utility... some people, for future use (yung bang "baka sakaling magamit in the future")... some people, because of the looks, some people, they just plain like/love one... LIKE ME and ala akong paki kung magamit ko man yung bed o hindi (pero nagamit ko rin kasi bumili kami ng kung ano anong mga malalaking bagay na kung suv/sedan ang dala ko, di ko naisakay)
but to put things into perspective, we do have a CUV, an SUV, a sedan but i find myself using the truck everyday (with or without load in the bed)... and men, i am very comfortable inside it... it drives like a sedan and even better than some SUVs...
if i will follow your argument, we should tell small families to buy a subcompact since subcompacts are meant for small families... kung single ka, dapat motor lang sa iyo, magisa ka naman eh, at ang motor was made for one/two persons only... kung pito kayo sa pamilya, dapat 7-seater na suv (first world santa fehehe joke lang) kahit ang gusto mo ay VAN...
in short, it all depends on the buyer's preference and needs... and not solely for the intended use of the product/car...
fyi, i use a comb to scratch my back... it is not its intended purpose but it gets the job done anyway... btw, i am bald
finally, matagtag ang hilux, nakakahilo... baka kasi mahiluhin ako... (ala lang, gusto ko lang sabihin hehe)
sir SHADOW... TSCP pa rin FTW!!!!! hehe...
mas matagtag nga fortuner, i've experience it already as a passenger, both sa strada and fortuner....
mag-TSCP na kasi sir para kung magalit man sila... kami mamahalin ka namin.. hehehehehehehe...
kung TSCP na sir... yahoooooo... you(r kids) are telling the truth!!!!!
