Yesterday, i took the pickup to mabini, batangas via nlex and star tollways and it performed admirably. I was pleasantly surprised with the fuel consumption: 11.66 kms per liter at varying speeds (max 140kms/hr). Parehas lang sa mits adventure although the strada has twice as much horsepower under its hood. I hope mag improve pa ang FC after the break in period.

I'm thinking of replacing the mags and tires similar to those installed in the gls models. Or papalitan ko na lang kaya ng bigger tires using the stock 16 rims?

Maganda yung unit na nakuha ko at walang problema so far. Hope it stays that way.

congrats! how much for the top lid sa MB? panu mo pala na-compute ung 11.66k/liter? thanks!
Lets enjoy our rides! Hoowah!

deka 22, thanks.

35K and top-up lid sa MB all-in. I understand this is way cheaper than carry boy.

I computed the fuel consumption as follows: first i filled-up the tank full and then set the trip-meter to zero; after the trip. nag pa full tank ulit ako - 27.71 liters ang nakarga tapos 316.1kms and reading sa trip meter. I divided the kms travelled by the liters of diesel consumed and i arrived at 11.66 kms/liter. Di ko linya ang math but i hope i got the formula right. Yes lets enjoy our ride!

naghahanap ako bro nung mags and wheels ng gls pero ok na rin sa akin yung 245 r16 kaya lang sobrang baba ang trade in ng stock tires na 205 kaya nanghihinayang ako. how about you deka22 nakapag palit ka na ng mags or tires? post ko later yung pics ng top up lid bro.

wala rin akong balak pa mag palagay ng flares. parang mas gusto kong ilagay eh side stickers/decals. parang mas unique dating. saan kaya makakahanap nun? hanggang plano plano na lang muna ako bro, wala budet, haha.

Hello, ask lng po. Just bought 2012 4x4 strada automatic from peak motors edsa. Kaya po gusto ko malaman if yun free ba na floor mat at built in matting ay pareho lng? Yun free na floor mat yan ba yun built in matting? Para kasi Hindi free kasi kasama na sa loob ng strada. Naniniguro lang kasi peak motors eh at babae yun sales agent mahirap na. Nakalagay kasi sa freebies floormat Pero sabi yan daw yun built in matting. May free din po bang backup camera? Nakita ko po kasi sa sulit may backup camera aside from the gps navigation. Thanks po.

Do make sure the free floor mats have fastening holes sa driver side for safety purposes. If you have the option of choosing which kind of camera, pili-in nyo yung usual angled compact camera with infra-red. Para ma-mount sya in-between the rear license plate lamps at semi-hidden (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y20...g?t=1285419048). Mainit kase sa mata ng magnanakaw ang license plate cameras. You may also choose to have the camera tapped to the license plate lamps so that you can reset the camera when reception becomes dim due to sunlight or headlights (just turn off and on the park lights). Eto kase ang problema sa infra-red; slow ang auto contrast.

Mag-improve pa yan, sir. I also average 11.5km/l (computed 9km/l for pure city driving with moderate traffic and with rpm around 1,500 tapos 14km/l for pure highway driving with rpm around 2,000). Ride is a 2010 GLX with 31x10.5r15 all-terrain (40 lbs each) wrapped on 15x9 alloy wheels (25 lbs each); over-all diameter and weight is same as the stock wheels and tires of a montero sport. The stock 205/80r16 tires on 16x6 wheels should yield more efficiency since it's lighter and has lesser roller resistance.

Thank you po sa info sir, sana ibigay sa akin yun free na floormat. Hinihingi ko kasi yun floormat bago ko iuwi yun unit sabi ng sales agent yan daw yun built in matting. Hehe

Sir, optional po ba yun backup camera or free na sa unit?
