Hard Time To Choose what truck...

[dcorexyz]

Mga tsikoteers please help naman oh,,, were planning to buy a pick up and we have the choices, Dmax LS 4X4, Strada GLS Sport, Navara LE 4x4. And A/T po yung kukunin namin, saan po ba yung best bet dito? Yung lasap na Lasap mo yung pera mo ba... wala naman kme e kakarga doon, just a ride sa probinsya lang... and yung fuel effcient pa po pala, please help po...

bakit walang hilux? sabi mo di naman magkakarga ng mabibigat talaga pero kailangan ba talaga 4x4?

d-max 4x4 (push button di sya dikambyo yung 4x4 selection..) manual: pag nakatigil tapos arangkada ok na ok.. parang ang gaan gaan mo.. pero hanggang 80-100 lang.. paglumalagpas doon nakakaawa yung makina e.. atsaka ang ingay.. pinaka-maingay ata sa tatlo.. kaso 100 lang takbo

strada 4x4 gls manual: mas parang mas mabigat 0-60 kesa sa d-max.. pero naka-130kmh kami at kaya pa! nag 140 din pero bumabalik kami 120-130kmh

navarra automatic: 4x2 kinuha ng tito ko e, pero automatic.. sabi nya kasi mas mura ng mga 200k-300k yung 4x2 kesa sa gls sport (pero 4x4 ang gls, wala daw atang 4x2 na automatic ang strada).. automatic e so parang uniform lang naka 150 ito! pero nibbreak-in kasi non pero wala yung feeling na nakakatakot tulad ng 100-110 ng dmax (na nakapatay na aircon)


yung strada na lang at navarra siguro pagpilian mo ;)

Does it really have to be a 4x4 or is the reason why you want a 4x4 is because of it's 4x4 looks? Assuming it's the 4x4 looks, you can just get a D-Max LS 4x2 AT.

A D-Max 4x2 alreayd has the looks of a 4x4. And not only that you substantially reduce the cost of acquisition (diff of 4x4 to 4x2 may be around 100-150k) plus, a 4x2 drivetrain would make the truck much lighter.... ergo, better fuel consumption.

My 2¢. Good luck!

Wait for the Strada 2.5L 175hp. It should arrive within the year.

ask yourself muna what u want in a truck. then test drive mo lahat para no regrets.. its like choosing a woman.. each has her own talent n turn offs. si ida o c lorna o c fe?

hmmm...

Hilux - too bad of a truck...
DMax - too old, slow engine
Strada - Nice interior,
Frontier - Biggest, fastest among three

with this three choices they are all nice pick-up trucks they got each cons and pros the best is test drive each then you decide for me Strada kasi i own one its not so matagtag, of course if your alone yes because its a truck base not sedan,my 2 cents

[CARLOver17]

if i were you.. i'll pick Frontier Navara... it's Nissan so you won't really have problems with service and reliability. and it has cold a/c, that's for sure. it's only the international truck among all it's same-level competitors. and it really drives like an SUV thus the term SUT. i havent heard any horrible stories about it yet..

with strada, it's the cheapest since it has cheap stuff in it.. i think

I have had a 08 Navara M/T and i must say i was impressed with the truck. It got speed, torque and power (i used to transport 8-10 cavans of rice with ease and speed taking SCTEC from Makro, Dau in Pamp. all the way up to Kennon Road & Baguio where I am based) a very comfortable ride and cabin space or leg room at the back ( as compared thru test drives of the competitions ) The only set back i had was when its clutch worn out at less than 10K kms. The replacement was costly at around 35K as it included the pressure plates and all. Luckily when the matter was brought to the attention of Universal Motors thru email i was refunded the full cost of parts and labor as it was still covered by warranty. But last Sept. 2009 I had had an accident at Clark Pamp rendering the unit a "total loss" Now i am equally undecided if I should get a new Navara with an A/T this time-because of that unpleasant experience with the clutch of the M/T. But on all the 12 months i had my black Navara I was impressed in it...except for the CLUTCH of course. Any feedback to help me on this fellow members? Before my insurance will pay off and for me to get another pick up.
