New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[av8or5]

in my observation, i think its just the characteristic of the strada's steering to behave that way. I think it's different from other pickups and cars. If i remember, it sometimes feel as if i have driven for a long time eventhough i only travelled a short distance. but effect changes depending on the road condition and surface. again my 2 cents worth of feedback.

nanghuhuli ba ang pulis kapag may mga nakasakay sa truck bed? is this considered overloading?
ang alam ko lang kasi bawal sa nlex and slex pero on a normal day/night, may nanghuhuli ba if may mga tao sa likod? haha sorry clueless lang talaga. i plan to have a trip to the beach with the guys and balak ko sila i-tambak sa likod...

Doc boz, when you are in CDO, I suggest that you test drive sir wulf_geo's strada to assess and check his steering and handling concerns. Give us a feedback if sir wulf_geo's concerns are isolated for his strada or his expectations from the new strada as far as the issues he raised, were just not met. Thanks.

Puede. I was thinking about that also. Sana matuloy ang satellite EBs natin.

haha sir editing lang po yan sa pics

naka 1000 plus kms na po yun strada. actually its not mine.

i wish it was mine though. my friend had it checked na. changed oil and oil filter na in some mitsu casa.

anyway, i drove almost 400 kms from manila to subic and back and i never blinked while driving it hehehe. i am soooo inlove with the strada.

*wulf_geo- kudos! beauty has been displayed twice! the Strada and the Couple!

and i'm quite sure that you were confident to render your truck for the occassion because it has a bedliner! i could just imagine the scratches on the bed if it didnt have one!

i don't mind the bedliner, its tough plastic. what i was screaming was decoration on the body itself. huhu. my ride was used thrice on three different parades during our town fiesta.. the driver (me) boasting with pride.

PARADE OF BEAUTIES.

thanks for the 2 cents sir. i tested two stradas yesterday and yes, the steering kinda different. still, mine was more lively. hehe

when my strada was around the 200km mark, the steering alignment was wrong. kumakabig siya magisa to the right. dinala ko sa casa and inadjust nila yung steering wheel para ma-derecho lang and everything was ok. mejo faulty nga ang steering wheel dahil konting roughness na sa kaly mejo pumipitik na ang manibela. i think normal to kasi magaan ang mga caha na natin compared to older cars coz of the materials used and dahil mejo maliit and wheels (height and width) for the height of the vehicle. if you get fatter tires mas stable na ang galaw and ako naman mas nakalabas ang offset ng mags ko kaya stable na rin. normal nga lang ba ang pag pitik ng manibela ko from side to side?

guys guys need your feedback and this is very alarming... sino ba taga davao d2? my bro-in-law told me that 7 different accidents involving the new strada and the officer he talked to has some proofs, pictures, etc...

the cause is hard braking and steering problem.... most of them are killed because of sudden change of lanes.... Ingat lang parati... maybe if i have some time i would ask for some info why it happened.

Or simply its their time.... Ingat lang po

Regardless of what kind of vehicle we are driving....its very important that we drive safely and responsibly....Avoiding accidents should be the responsibility of the driver and not by the vehicle....Never push the limits of your vehicle, as well as your driving skills, in the streets/roads/highways.

Again, drive safely and responsibly

^ +1, The drivers must be responsible enough. These trucks have a lot of power compared to their weights..especially kung walang load.

Its like owning a gun. Responsible Ownership.

I agree with what the others said. imho, it doesn't directly point to "alleged" faults of the strada as the cause of the accidents.

Sudden lane changes + hard braking = crash and burn.

Marami din speedster sa TSCP pero responsible drivers naman so no accidents have happened. Still, it would be good if you got more info about the incidents para we can be more aware of such acts that would lead to accidents.

sirs, everybody wants to drive safe.. i've posted here before of the same steering problems that the vehicle change lane when it hits bump and potholes. im quite sure that the lightness of the butt of the strada is not the culprit. this afternoon, ive driven with a cargo load of not more half a ton and yet the truck swerves/change lanes when it hit potholes. i think it has to do with the steering and suspension. it's not that i want to be the devil's advocate but when safety is in question and the truck's setup/design has something to with it then this should be taken seriously.

i will bring this matter to the attention of our mitsu dealer on monday, as scheduled.
