2004 Dmax or Strada both 4x4 & a/t

[truckman]

please lang hingi ako insight nyo.cant decide which one is better?
kailangan ko diesel na ride eh.

[Supierreman]

mas malakas makina ng Dmax!

[OTEP]

Both of the are ok. The DMax does look way better on paper. But in the real world, I'd personally take the Strada.

But then again, that's just me.

strada kc maintainance wise very easy, ganda luks n engine ng dmax but i still doubt the 3.0 di engine can handle the low quality diesel in the phil, not inless u want a 47,000 bill for ur injectors after 2 years of use on ur d max. thats the reason y i still don't want my dad to buy the 4m41 gen 3 paj.

bilihin mo na parehas pag ayaw mo sa isa bigay mo na lang sa akin:bwahaha: :bwahaha: :bwahaha::jump:

medyo bias ako e. i'd say go for the dmax, i personally own one, though my unit is imported from thailand. i hear that sooner they will have a locally produced units. ok ang performance ng makina, malakas,matipid at same time (relative din sa driving style e). though proven naman ang isuzu pag dating sa diesel, kaya wala kakaba-kaba. sa safety, ok sya, kasi dual airbags, with abs+ebd. saka madali syang i-drive kasi maiksi ang nguso.

sa strada, i have nothing against it. i like the styling, kungdi nga lumabas yung dmax, malamang strada ang gamit ko ngayon.

tama si x-wind bili ka ng dalawa, pag ayaw mo na yung isa pamigay mo na lang. :D

Medyo maselan kasi ang computer ek-ek ng DMAX. Remember when Isuzu tried to run it across Pinatubo area?

I'd vouch for engine simplicity and ease of maintenance which will come in cheaper, Strading! :D

Kung plain and simple lang yung 3.0L Isuzu engine without the computer fuzz, it would've gotten my vote.

[ian_rex]

oo nga. yun lang ang drawback sa dmax. who knows di ba? baka mamaya e pupwede palang ilublob di lang natin alam. hehe :D

[Jeepcruizerph]

there are always rooms for improvement...parang nangyari sa mga XTO namin hehehe ang dami sakit ulo tapos nagawan din ng solutions...

baka ilipat na yung computer box na yan pag local versions na :D

at least head turner parin ang DMAX hehe bago lols

pero brusko din ang Strading :D

[garyq]

DMax ako. Ito na yung next generation na pick ups. Although the Strada would be much simpler to maintain sabi nga nila. Enjoy the problem.

[Jeepcruizerph]

lols natawa naman ako doon

" garyq: Enjoy the problem. " :D

kung di mo naman gagamitin for extreme off-road, mag dmax ka na. at least sigurado ka na matatagalan pa na palitan yung body. and it has nice safety features and a new engine. unlike strada which has been around for quite sometime.

just my 2 cents....

[ian_rex]

yep, mas brusko nga ang strada. lapad pa ng mga gulong kesa sa DMax. Nakakalungkot nga kasi yung sa amin, 4X2 lang di man lang mai-off road. pero it'll do kasi mostly sa city lang naman kami. sa intimidating talaga yung either of the two. agree?

[boknoyxtrm2001]

UNGAS,

kung simpler ang DMAX engine....


i transplant na ang 4Jg2 diyan kapalit nan 4JH1


No no plans to make lipat lipat the ECU

[luckytruck]

is their any cost difference between the two?

i would vote for a strada pero manual kukunin ko. i think the engine is just right kung manual, pero kung matic, medyo mahina na.

[pepengtom]

DMAX! bago makina e

[RedHorse]

ian rex,

gaano mo ba kabilis napatakbo yang dmax? nakaabot na ba at least 140kph man lang?

[Ungas]

luckytruck::: Power to the wheels will almost be the same with A/T and M/T trannys. Matics have torque converters inside the transmission so that power loss when shifting is minimized. Actually, you loose more power to the wheels when driving in manual tranny.

naguguluhan ako sayo sabi mo ayaw mo ng mahaba na open likod tpos ngayon may bago ka thread dito. dun parin ako sa sarado likod na 4x4 wag ka ng mag madali yun na lang kunin mo........kaya lang pag yun nakuha mo malamang pwede ako mag tago sa harap mo.

[luckytruck]

ungas, i guess you are right, i am not too familiar with diesel automatics kasi.

maybe its just the shift points that i am concerned with. when i had a matic na civic kasi, then i drove my friend's manual civic, i found his civic more responsive because i could control the shift points better with the manual.

does that make sense?

maybe the diesel matics will be different.
