Thank you bro ThePatriarch. It was sir Arvin_Cristi who inspired me do river crossing with confidence. The Strada does river crossing with ease and the cabin is water tight that it remains dry after crossing the river. A snorkel would have enabled me go even deeper
.
Here is another video of mustache playing on sand. The other side of the Adonot River has lots of sandy riverbanks. Some of the sandy areas are too soft that I hesitated driving over them and risk moustache getting stucked as there were no other vehicles within reach that can do the recovery once moustache gets bogged down into the soft sand.

I want to share the fuel consumption of my Strada GLS 08 (Manual trans) during my resent trip.
Naga city to San Rafael Bulacan, (443 KM)
FC = 10.9 km per liter. (Using Petron diesel + 250ml fuel boster.)
Wala Patayan ng makina even resting and eating.
Time to time gamit un 4H kasi maulan and sira un Andaya Highway.
Bulacan to Naga City same route.
FC = 10.3 km per liter. (Using PTT Diesel)
Wala Patayan ng makina even resting and eating.
Encounter 3hrs trafic palabas ng manila and using 4x4 4H most of the time kasi grabi un ulan at madulas un kalsada.
Passenger : 3 adults and 2 kids including the driver plus Kargado un bed mga 1 ton.
Maximun speed 180 kph, normal at 100 kph.
matipid na yan bro, kc sa akin (Gls sport manual) 170kms distance from Davao to Tacurong 11.0km/liter naka 2H, walang stop over at speed limit of 80-100kph.
Galing talaga ni GO1 offroader na hehehhehehehe,
Bro boz h/t is not good in sand always the A/T or M/T is better when ever you are in the sand specialy in deep and dessert sand you need to lower your tire pressure para lumapad and traction mo making if flat in some cases we go low as 10 psi. bring a portable air pump is a good thing to have in off road.
