[mit94]

Hello to all expert tsikoteers,
Ask ko lang po alin mas maganda? interms sa performance cost of maintanance between Ford ranger 4x2 2.5L Trekker MT and Hi-lux G 2.5L MT? Between price hindi po nag kakalayo pati? Nalilito kasi ako sa dalawa alin ang pipiliin ko. Actually na check ko na ang ford ranger so far ok naman ang tindig & interms sa specs ok din. Kaya lang di ko pa to na test drive kasi walang available & same din sa Hi-lux. Bali ang Hi-lux po hindi ko pa ito na check in personalit kasi walang stock sa show room Bali sa broucher lang me nag base? Thanks po in advance sa mga magbibigay ng idea to choose pick-up truck.

If your not in a hurry, wait for a unit available to test drive for yourself.

correct, and you must also consider Strada and Navara.

although between the two of your choices, it's the Ford (reliable engine). It's a hit-or-miss affair with the Toyota diesels of late.

You post only Ford and toyota pick-up trucks, considering na madami pang pag pipilian na brand like isuzu dmax, Mazda b50,Nissan navarra and so on.

Why simple Lang it's same reliable as mighty Toyota but ford truck got a better look.

Hmmm wow thanks for the info sir...anyway naka pag test drive na ako ng D-max...ok din kya lang ayaw ng mrs. ko sobrang ingay daw. Navarra ok din and agree ako dahil 6 speed and full specs din kya lang hindi sya mukhang pick-up Mababa ang ground clearance. 1st choice kasi namin yong Hi-lux & 2nd is ford ranger. Mga sir thank sa mga inputs & advice.

The new Ranger will be released by the end of the year.

The new Hilux will also be released this year.

If you're not in a hurry to buy, you might want to wait.

Mitsubishi will also introduce upgraded engines in the Strada this year.

These are all official announcements as published in the inquirer.

To answer your question regarding performance, the Ranger has the better engine & transmission. Very torquey.

[Chuckomenda]

I'd want a Trekker too hands down, porma at proven na. May blue color ba? That would be nicer!
May choking issues pa ba and Toyota Diesel till now?
Yun Ford lang umbrella hand brake.

Few months back I had a similar problem, what pick-up to get to replace my 9 year old Ford Ranger. Given I had 9 trouble free years with my Ford Ranger, the new Ford Ranger was the first on the list, but was also open to other brands. I also had a budget, which was around 1M +/- 10%. (Budget includes insurance, Chattel and etc.) The Ford Ranger Trekker m/t with all the discount was P. 950,000.00 plus free LTO, Matting, TINT and Bedliner.

Why I ended up with my 2011 Ford Ranger Trekker:

Other contenders:

Nissan Navarra 4x2 MT - Over budget, and not much freebies. I also don't like the lower stance of the 4x2, it lacks the MACHO look.

Toyota Hi-Lux 4x2 E (G version is over budget) - Besides the basic power options, the unit is pretty much bare. Wheels are the skinny type steel type, no fender flares, and discount was very minimal. By the time I spend on the upgrades, it will cost much more and will be over budget.

Isuzu D-Max 4x2 - Within budget, has all the features I want, sadly the dealer in our area had really bad service. Went in to look at the unit, there was only 1 SA, the showroom lights and aircon was not even turned on (mid afternoon), the SA had no idea what he was talking about, and couldn't even give a price breakdown, freebies or discount.

Mitsubishi Strada 4x2 - Didn't bother, with multiple bad experience with 3 previous Mitsubishi diesel powered vehicles, I am not willing to take any risk on getting another diesel powered Mitsubishi.

By the way all those promos with many freebies are only applicable if you go in-house fiancing which has rediculously high interest rates. In fact the interest is so high that if you have other banks finance your vehicle, the money saved is more than all the freebies (Comprehensive insurance, TPL and Chattel mortgage). In my case, BPI even had a promo for a free GPS unit. If you find the cash out to heavy for things like comprehensive insurance, you can have insurance premium from BPI in 12 months installment, and even so the total monthly (loan + insurance) is still lower than the monthly you have to pay for in-house financing from the car dealership.

Go with the Ford Ranger. it's all what you need and performance wise, it's the best.
Even the old WLT Turbo engine of the Ranger would eat the Hilux 2.5 alive.
