    With Isuzu just recently launched the new Isuzu D-max, I think this would be a very interesting topic to be discussed. Which would you choose in terms of reliabllity, performance, affordablity, maintenance cost and best bang for the buck pick-up that is being offered here in our country? I don't know if you would still include the Mitsubishi Strada and Nissan Navarra on your choices but it's up to you.

    Personally for me, I'd pick the Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2.2 A/T. Why? Because of the 4 pick-ups i think this would be the more reliable in the long run, has good power and torque even if it's a 2.2 engine only. If I have the budget for 3.2 bakit hindi? pero sa akin ok nako dito.

    enjoy tsikoteers!

    Kung sa area na may casa lahat mga yan, Ford ranger 3.2 imho. Pero overall sa Pinas, either Strada or Hilux. Depende na lang sa purpose. If matindi ang kargahan, hilux, if medium lang naman ang karga strada ako. Malaking bagay warranty eh.

    mas ok po sa kargahan ang hilux compared to the other 3? our main purpose on why we're buying a pick-up is to haul more. kakargahan ng bigas from our farm sa bulacan papunta sa dito sa house namin sa manila pero occasionally lang naman. our field master can haul 4 to 5 sacks of rice ng walang problem pero ayaw na namin kargahan palagi kasi ayaw na namin malaspag ang we have no plans of selling it. our first choice is the ranger. pero im also trying to get inputs from you guys. dual purpose ang pag post ko ng topic na ito. haha.

    If may casa nang ford dyan sa inyo, okay din naman ford, kunti lang kinalaki niya sa hilux eh. Mas mura (medyo ha, but not so much) maintenance nang toyota vs ford at mas madali parts outside the casa. Those are some things to consider.

    its up to you bro, but in may own experience I have 2001 lynx and 2006 escape, i sold them both, proved to be headaches in terms of cost of ownership and maintenance due to parts availability.

    Yung saken naman 2005 ford lynx, 2008 ranger wildtrak and 2010 everest. Bang for the buck if you're planning on keeping it for a long time kasi mababa resale value. Kaya lang binenta ko na sa pinsan ko yung lynx kasi nabaha and kinukumusta ko naman, angganda pa daw ng takbo.

    Yes, but a bit irrelevant because the new Ranger is on the top of jegger's list and the test shows the old model.
    More recent comparison tests show that the new Ranger is a close 2nd to the Amarok which supposedly is more premium and refined.
    The Amarok is not available here though and even if VW does decide to bring it in, it being sourced farther away (it's built in Germany and Argentina), the Amarok would probably cost more than the ASEAN Ford Ranger.

    Amarok din sana is a good contender in the pick-up segment here in the Philippines kaya lang mukhang malabo talaga noh.. Kung dumating yan dito at the same price range baka mapabago isip ko. hehe

    Ford Ranger is a good competition for strada, navarra and hilux. But my worry is the dependability of ranger in the long run since it is new one. Is it right to say that engine run on turbo is far under stress than without a turbo given the same size of engine, unless it is ranger 3.2 wildtrak and How about the issue of spare parts supply of ford?

    I believe the old adage "there's no replacement for displacement" is like E=mc squared.

    Just my opinion

    If you are talking about outside the casa, there are many shops in Banawe that bring in Ford parts, some of the popular ones are Mazford, Fordland and Thunder Automotive.

    Looks are good, but if you are talking about substance, Isuzu choosing to put the old Euro 2 engine on a larger heavier Chevy Colorad-sized pickup? Doesn't sound so smart.
    The local spec New D-Max comes with either a 4JJ1-TC 3.0-liter CRDi engine that produces 146 PS and 294 Nm of torque or a 4JK1-TC 2.5-liter CRDi producing 109 PS and 280 Nm of torque.
