toyota hiace grandia or ford e150?

[blee]

hello tsikoteers, naghhanap kasi kami ng delivery car. npagisipan namin bili nlng ng van para magamit naman kung walang delivery. kasi kng may delivery, pwde lang matanggal seats sa likod and kung may ppuntahan na maramihan, pwde lang maibalik ang seats. pinagppilian namin ang 2. ano kaya sa inyo? grandia ba or e150? pros and cons? tia

IMO, while the vehicles you mentioned (esp. Grandia) was designed to move around people, tis not suitable for transporting goods. Well, its just me.

L200 na lang.

computer business kasi. pag pick up, maliit lang makakargahan...

Pick-up with campershell?

The Grandia will be more efficient although the problem with it is the rear seats are not easily movable/removable.

The E150 is really a people carrier and has loads of space (and the seats can easily be removed) but there's a fuel consumption penalty and resale isnt as good as the Hiace.

Hyundai also launched a commercial version of the Starex with a 2.6L na diesel engine... comes in delivery van versions and in shuttle versions.

Parang mas ok ang Urvan compared sa pinagpipilian nyo.

pag sinabi niyong 'maramihan', mga ilan yun? i'd go with the starex CRDi. it's an 8-9 seater with all seats down, and it will carry 5-6 people with cargo at the same time. mejo mahirap kasi yung folding option nung E-150 at Grandia. not much space freed up.

the e150's 3rd and 4th row bench seats features a quick release mechanism.... pero mabigat ang seats....

sa gas consumption lang ng e-150 luging lugi na so i think its better to get a diesel van or auv instead..the innova comes to my mind..kasi yung seats easily stowable..di tulad ng sa mga bread box vans

may pick up na kasi ako., pero prob if may delivery mga 5-10sets ng computer, di na kasya. esp if may kasamang computer table. plan ko una l300 fb. kaya lang, medyo pang delivery lang talaga. di masyado magagamit pag mga out of town trips with friends. may hiace gl kami pero sa dad ko ito. kaya ang isang computer table ng patayo.

eto: not e150, but try to find 1996 E350 w/ powerstroke diesel! yan pwedeng pwede!<--rare nga lang, at sad to say, di yan matipid, V10 kasi, pero hatak nyan, sarap!

pero kung ako sayo, kung gusto mo pandeliver at personal use, hanap ka ng double cab na canter/elf..or ung van-type na elf/canter...meron nyan...<--eto pinagiipunan ko kaysa sa car/van....

ang advantage ng elf,pwede up to 2 tons!, wag ka lang lalampas ng 6'11" kung di class 2 ka na sa NLEX..dont know kung 2tons is enough for the powerstroke e350, alam ko 5000lbs towing capacity nun...

The old Grandia had folding rear seats. The new (IMV-based) Grandia D4d doesn't have folding rear seats (only the commuter variant is available in this configuration). A Hiace commercial version can also be ordered. However it does not have rear seats, rear windows, and no rear a/c too.

E150 rear seats do not fold also but can be removed as a unit (it is a bench seat).

How far would your deliveries be? Baka talo ka sa fuel with the E150.

Test ride an E150 first. Medyo matagtag siya even when compared to an MB100.

The Starex is a good option. The last row folds up to the sides and you can rotate the 2nd row so that the backrest is against the front row. Quite a large floor space gets freed up. Cheaper to maintain that the E150 or the Hiace since replacement parts are already abundant (it has been in the market for more than 10 years).

The Urvan (Escapade or Grand Estate) also seems like a good option.

for delivery purposes, why not get a pick-up? or an L-300 FB?

[alwayz_yummy]

pwede MB100 na bubble top/ kung kulang parin, MB140D w/ bubble top!

but, the seats are bolted and baklas is a big chore!

forgot to mention pala, 2nd hand lang pinagpilian ko. mga around '97 e150 and 2000-01 grandia

ill go with the Ford!

maganda E150, sulit as a transport vehicle for 8 pax... di pa magbabanggan mga siko nila he he.... sulit naman, sa 4 years sa amin, mas mahal pa nga parts ng trooper (am talking of filters only).

140 liters ang tank capacity nito, kaya lang never had thd chance to measure its mileage pauwi 800kms one way , kasi natutulog din naman ako sa gas station about 1-2 hours, + sa ferry terminal while waiting sa ferry schedule with engine running para may A/C.

meron din naman akong nakita na e150 unit na nilaspag talaga, nueva ecija to batangas ang byahe, sako-sakong bigas ang karga, almost every other day kwento ng driver, so sa isang taon, palit ang may-ari ng spacers.

Issue rin dito ang turning radius, hirap mag park sa school, 1 of the reasons we traded the unit. Up north, hanggang pagudpod, down south lagpas pa ng tacloban. I miss the unit.

Bus driver mentality when driving one he he.

our's was a 4x2 beige interior, 4.6 V8 2001 model, 4 captain's seat, 2 benches, traded at 700k last year.

if 1997, baka 4x4 pa ito at diesel engine, gray interior 2 captain's seat, 3 benches

kaya kung may chance ako, hahanap ako ng e350 na may powerstroke diesel.. mas mataas at bigger capacity then the e150....and diesel, pwede sugod sa "ilogs" around UST, etc....wag lang sa lagusnilad, ha!

may 4wd e350? alam rwd lang karamiha, unless pa-custom made mo, like those gamit ng ch.2 at 7!
