HANDLING ISSUE

I tried some off-roading yesterday. it's not actually off-road but a long stretch of gravelled road with plenty of potholes. i noticed that when the front tires hit potholes or bumps the truck drifts, slides, sways - i cant describe it well but to say the least, handling is compromised. this also happened on asphalted roads where some section has pronounced corrugation/ small waves (perhaps the enigeer is a marine engineer) and the truck drifts espcecially on road bends. this could be noticed at speeds ranging from 50-70 kph. of course going faster would be dangerous. my tire pressure 30psi.

this phenomenom was primarily the reason i disposed by 2001 strada when even the casa cant give a good explanation.

Have anyone noticed/observed this?
Many Thanks

Same experience sir wulf_geo.... but im running 100kph and im overtaking when the truck slides and sways but i dont know the drift..Better solution is, be familiarized with the road... just keep it safe on uneven roads...

[nicruzjr]

sirs kenpogi and nicruzjr, we invite you to join the next EB of the Strada Club! Maski di nyo pa nakukuha yung strada nyo sir. Or maski nagcacanvass pa kayo on what truck to get. Im sure mageenjoy kayo and maraming kayo matututunan. This april, the club plans to meet at the Manila Auto Show. Check the club's threads nalang mga sir dito: http://tsikot.yehey.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=119

Hope to see you very soon!

Drive inspired!

Salamat sa invite n'yo on the coming EB. I will not be able to go as I have to attend to some school matters of my kid. Maybe next time when I have my unit already.

hi guys and gurus of this thread! im a new member of tsikot.com and would like to ask some questions. we're planning to buy a pick-up and thinking about getting a Strada, Hilux, or Dmax. what are the pro's and con's of each? planning to get the 2.5 variation m/t and actually leaning towards Strada mainly because of looks and also read some reviews and maganda naman reviews ng Strada

[wakeboarder]

sir wakeboarder, sorry it took me this long to get back to you regarding the d-hooks. carryboy said they were selling it at P1,500 set of 4. just let me know when you would like to meet. thanks!!!

Its fast and furious , can run up to 200kph (try it), try to compare the interior and u will notice why strada is best. I love the ABS-EBD hehehehehe, coz there's no hard braking and add it up for 2 airbags . There's no need to add accessories coz its already handsome... agree? try to change tires and it will be yummy... compare also the price of 3.2 and other 4x4 and i guess its much cheaper.

4x4 on the FLY..... I guess the most smoothest ride among the pickups introduced now. Legroom's not the problem and lastly, you feel like driving an aircraft on land.... weeeeeeee

The only thing i hate bout the strada is
5-10 mins cooldown before shutting down (common with turbo engine)
Nothing more or less i guess hehehehe, at least not being biased hehehehehe....

I wont convince you to buy strada but be sure not to end up saying "How i wish i bought that spaceship" hehehhehe

[sTrAdA_08]

guys, necessary ba yung cooldown period for the engine? kasi pinapatay ko agad yung engine eh..

[LeoMarley]

And also one reason why im leaning towards the Strada is mas mura sya compared sa ibang 4x2 2.5L engine na pick-up. canvassed a hilux the other day and 100k ang difference nya sa strada with same variation. sayang din ung 100k pang bili na rin ng accessories yun

That would either be the Strada with a G500 canopy OR the current Mitsubishi Grandis. hehehehe

Whether 2.5 or 3.2 L, GO get the Strada! No regrets, bro.

For those interested in upgrading their AV system, eto yung upgrades ko...

HU: stock Kenwood
Front speakers: DLS MS6A seps (SuperNaturalSound)
Rear speakers: stock (no budget)
Amp: RF P400-4 ("You've got the PUNCH")
Sub: Premier 8" shallow-mount subwoofer (sealed box under my seat)... the sub is the most challenging component for GLS/GLS sport owners due to lack of space
Installer: Mickey's Autosound

What are yours?

you need to cool down your engine if you came from a long drive or from a hataw manner of driving... but if you were stuck in traffic before arriving to your destination, no need to cool down. for me, i always try to ease up on the gas pedal at least a kilometer from my destination, yun na ang cool down period ko

doc boz, how much inabot?

[DonT]

Thats interesting...can we have more specs and prices?

[DonT]

^ just wanna add..you should also consider idling it for a few minutes if youve done some Climbing, Hauling Heavy Loads and pulling Speedboats. All these activities puts the engine into High Revs..at low speeds.

This is where the turbo timer comes in handy.

if i am not mistaken, it would be the thb200a...mejo hindi ko na rin maalaala...susubukan ko na rin yung alpine na kamukha nya and yung avt na kamukha rin nito...
basta sir, kung para sa inyo, lata ang tunog niyan, mas lata pa ang xplod...
lahat kami ng mga kaibigan ko ayaw sa xplod because of either easy damaging or pangit tunog...blaupunkt is the "not top of the line but good enough dahil estudyante" gear...hehehe

diba may isang strada dito na nagpa 8inch na xplod and box sa likod? sir kamusta naman? hindi kasi kasya sakin ang ganun dahil may rear window..

d naman 2nog lata dapat naka design sa box yun explod, i use explod 12" sa strada and it produce better and softer bass than JL audio sa specs ng enclosure ko. maliit yun enclosure ko para sa jL. kaya yun JL ko tinabi ko muna.
