Hi Guys,

I'm planning to buy a new pick-up next year. Do you highly recommend the new ISUZU Global DMAX rather than the STRada? I prefer buying 4x2.

Hoping for your feedback............

[wildthing]

depende sa use or need mo sir. para kasing apple and orange yung dalawa

both are "fruits" (pick-ups) but their features are almost very different.

I would highly recommend na ilista mo muna ang needs mo sa pick-up na gusto mo. From there it would be easier to choose.

IMO, hindi ako napopogian sa strada na bago. but then again it is very subjective kasi yun ay sa paningin ko lang naman.

I am very happy with my service DMax...mainly because it is free (it's my company service). Pero if I were to buy a pick-up on my own for my use...I will not limit myself to one option.

And so far, I am also impressed with the new Hilux 4x4 (service of my boss, na minsan minsan ay nahihiram ko). All my needs for a pick-up are satisfied by my DMax...pero the Hilux gives an edge because of the roomier cabin and the extra bottle holder near the A/C (can make my water maintain cold). Pasensya na ang cheap ko - nadaan ako sa bottle holder...hehehe

kung papapiliin ako, strada or hi-lux, wala ako pipiliin dun. Ang pipiliin ko nissan frontier navara. 3rd generation commonrail diesel engine, I think the most powerful in the market. Pero it still doesnt give me the reason to sell my current dmax kasi Im very happy with it.

Mmm..as of now, I have no reason to try new, untested , radical designs like the Strada. Two years ago, I have chosen the Dmax because of its track record of reliability and emphasis on safety compared to the Hilux(toyota) which never even bothered to think about EBD and second airbags( not even a fifth 3-point-seatbelt)! Two years after, I have absolutely no regrets - it really is living up to its reputation!
Besides, depende talaga sa gamit mo. As I use my pickup more for cargo hauling, I would rather choose the more "trucky" of the two which is obviously the Dmax.

[AKA]

I agree with Jubilum it all depends kung san mo gagamitin yung ride mo. for me so far no regrets sa max ko, gamit ko sa byahe ( tipid sa diesel ) and for hauling too kahit na kargado sarap patakbuhin kahit na akyatan di ka mabibitin

Salamat sa mga feedback mga bosing....

I just found out na yung 4x2 na Global DMax is around 1 Million, but the strada 4x4 GLS 2.5 is around 1M also. what do you think is the better?

If dependability is an issue, I'd still pick the D-max...the non CRDi. But if youre really for power, I'd choose the hi-lux or the navara.

so would i bro, (im not a big fan of nissan), we own a strada and we have no reason to complain whatsoever with it. the new dmax is really cutting edge now..pero pag nakakita ako ng hi lux o makasabayan sa parking lot lalo na yong black and with really wicked chrome wheels and big tires),i cant help to stare to it, grabe ang ganda talaga. nagmukhang kawawa ang strada namin.

[silverend]

the 2008 hi lux, hmmm..ang lupit talaga.

[2Dmax]

mura kasi talaga ang strada and 4x4 pa. un ang edge nya compared to dmax. but dmax has is more robust than the strada, bigger chasis and timing gear is used instead of timing belt..

hintayin mo na lang muna ung all new frontier, then after test-driving it, you should have a pick...

sir, is that really a stock or factory standard or dressed up na?? mejo marmai ata accesories eh... i dont think ganyan ka rami ilagay nila.. mamahalin pa... hehehe... ....


sir ec4u2c,kung sa dalawa lang.. i still would pick the dmax... 3.0 crdi engine compare sa 2.5 lang.. eventhough halos pareho lang ng HP but the displacement would vary... kaya mas powerful po ang dmax.. and mataas narin ang dmax ngaun.. sarap lagyan ng malaking rims and tires... test drive mo lang ang dalawa sir...

[jubilum]

The future Global DMAX with the hood scoop and a 2.5 crdi with VGT, producing 164 HP --Ito ang HIHINTAYIN ko!

dressed up na yan, promo pic lang for the 2008 model which is basically same with the current ones i think.

with the dmax, i definitely go with the 3.0, but for just everyday passenger use then 2.5 is perfect, but based sa uk reviews it is a little underpowered, i dont know yon lang nabasa ko minsan, pero chip lang katapat niyan siguro.

Hindi na yata lalabas sa pinas yang ganyang style, meron na silang linabas na design ng global DMAX. Its better if they copied that kind of design....

Pero halos pareho na din yung design dun sa bagong global DMAX except yung butas sa hood, signal light sa side mirror at yung Horsepower....

ec4u2c,

bakit parang kinausap mo ata ung sarili mo sa previous post before my post?

identity crisis. hehe joke
