can someone help me out (looking for info on STRADA)

**pj_727** · March 24th, 2011 04:27 PM

My brother is asking me to research about the new Strada. Since he's not here and probably wont be back until november 2011 , he's assigned the task to me. He's been asking me to check out forums and etc about it. Tungkol sa reliability daw ng new strada, whats new, design, engine power and etc.
i dont even know if its already available in the Philippine market yet, i heard sometime this march.
(Strada 2.5 GLS Sport-V 4x4 ,eto yata yun)

... maybe you guys can share your opinion. especially comparing it to the previous models

Thanks

I strongly suggest that you back read na lang the thread of 2011 Strada. meron na yan dito sa tsikot para hindi ka mahirapan.

Short comment, yes there will be a new strada with 4d56 engine but with VGT turbo along with 5 speed automatic tranny for the 4x4 GLS-V. Yung reliability niyan ay top notch as long as you follow the manual in terms of proper servicing. May ilang problems at dun mo makikita sa thread nila.

IMO kung hindi naman pang-business or work related na laging marami at mabigat dala mo plus 1-2 person lang naman halos lagi sasakay, the best na yung Strada VGT. Best ride comfort pa and cabin space. Kung pang-work or hauling duties, IMHO, Hilux 3.0 naman or Dmax. Ok din sana Ford kaso depende yan kung available ba parts sa area niyo. Visit some autoshop and ask around talyers na rin. Ayaw ko navarra kasi mababa, kelangan mo pa ng aftermarket lifts at bigger tires para medyo maganda clearance. If prefer mo speed, Navarra ka.

Therefore, depende sa needs ng brother mo yan.

Plus dapat test drive niya sana or ikaw na mag-test drive after considering everything; FC, reliability, parts availability, presence of casa in your area since brandnew, resale value, ride comfort, hauling needs etc.

he's only here 6months a year... since he's a merchant marine. we checked out the 2010 model when he was still herea. He liked it, especially the cab space, he's almost 6'2, my dad is flat 6' so good comfy space matters to us, especially sa mga sasakay sa likod (me and mom

), dont wanna feel squashed. My brother would totally agree with you about the navarra. he's checked out the hilux, he likes it but not super obsessed with it. I'll definitely keep ur suggestions and opinions in mind

thanks
