New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[gohan71]

Went to the Mitsubishi Display sa Glorieta Kahapon and ask the salesperson ano fuel consumption ng 4x4 strada nila! I was told 12-15 km/l....parang too good to be true??? Can anyone of the new strada owners confirm this?? Thanks!!!

[brynlops]

ako pag sa NLEX 13.1, pag dito sa manila 9.9 lang..

kaya naman cguro 15km/l pero mahirap talaga....super consevative cguro driving style mo nun...

sakin, pinakamatipid na 12.5 km/l highway cruising (maintained speed of 90kph)

[boosted]

we are getting 14.3 km/l 80 to 100kph highway driving

[traker]

I managed to get 11.2 km/hr highway driving going to Ilocos last holy week despite the heavy traffic starting from NLEX to Pangasinan. I had four adults and two kids plus about a hundred kilos or so load at the bed, so 12-14 i think is very much achievable. City driving - 10 km/hr

My only problem right now is wala pa yung replacement nang clutch kit ko, may tagas dun sa joint just above the clutch pedal). At saka nga pala, has someone tried adjusting their alarm? Ang hina ng pickup, kailangan itutok mo talaga sa may window.

2DMAX - in behalf of strada owners, thanks for the advice (I also browse around your dmax thread for helpful ideas and marami akong nalalaman)

clocked 13.7 kms/l mostly highway (90-110kph), some limited idling time, occasional high revving while passing slower cars and trucks. not bad for the power on tap

[Drave]

Yesterday I did some off-roading when I went to see a farm for sale. It was about 1km of really bad roads traversing coconut plantations, consisting of soft soil with really deep ruts left behind by trucks, jeeps, and carabao carriage. Don't let the good looks of the strada fool you coz underneath is a different animal. I had no problems whatsoever and the power is really more than enough. I brought along my wife and kids with me and they enjoyed it (ride was still great). Too bad I forgot to bring my videocam. I definitely will go back there when the rain comes

hehehe....palagay ko ganun lang talaga ang buhay....
kahit anong ganda ng stock rims, stock pa din siya...

personally, i changed mine kasi hindi ako satisfied sa off-set....
gusto ko talaga, medjo labas sa wheel wells...plus i couldn't pass on the chance to get the rims that i have right now...tagal ko na siya pangarap ever since nakakita ako ng pajero with the same set of rims....

[numbah5]

guys nasubukan niyo na ito? once you turned off the engine, then you start it again but it won't start until you arm and disarm the alarm...

[Drave]

Guys, I need your advice on this one. There's an available ecu upgrade and I'm really tempted to install one on my strada. This is Pbox and it claims to increase hp from 136 to 163 at 3500rpm and torque from 314 to 380nM at 2000rpm (parang 4M41 specs). This will eliminate the turbo lag also help in acceleration at low rpms. Another nice thing about it is it is programmed to go back to the original tuning once the engine is near the maximum rpm therefore not putting strain on the engine at high rpms. I know it will throw the warranty out the window but I trust the 4d56. BTW, there's an on and off switch. Now, should I or should I not?

[drey]

I suggest you should go ask UK forumers first... They had those chips... Find what is the advantage and disadvantage...

Have you tried asking your SA about it? Since available naman ang option na ganyan sa UK why not try asking your dealer first?

[mitsiboy]

wow pnalitan mo din pala ung rims mo..pics naman dyan!
pero totoo pg nkakakita ako strada na customized rims, ung mejo labas na hells sa fenders,hanep sa dating!poging pogi! lalo na pg red

[mitsiboy]

dame na new stradas on the road ah..congrats sa lhat ng owners!!bumabalik na twala ng tao sa mitsu

[Djerms]

Congrats to the STRADA owners. All I can do is envy...hehe.

As for the chips, I think Speedlab sells them. Inquire ka nalang dun. But of course you should also do some research and ask those who've already installed in their rigs.

[Drave]

Thanks guys! I will do some more research, mahirap magsisi. But if I decide to have one installed, I will keep you guys posted.

Madami na nga ditong strada, at nakakasawa na . I have always trusted the LCVs of mitsu.

Doon naman sa mags, maganda talaga yung stock pero parang magkakahawig sila ng fortuner and ranger. Just like anyone who changes his mags, it's more of a personal statement with some consideration to increase performance. Yun sa akin, pinalitan ko kasi sabi ni kumander ang dami naming kapareho dito at nalilito sya. Noong sinabi ko na mahal yung gusto kong mags, sabi niya na okey lang, basta mapalitan lang. Kaya yun, ayooss! Para-paraan lang yan hehehe....

[wally]

hello guys...I'm also a strada owner (silver gls M/T)..bought mine last feb...2mo no problems...recently made a trip from pamp to baguio, sagada, banaue, then back to pampanga via n.vizcaya.... walang problema and delighted to find out na 2.5K lang nagastos ko sa diesel the whole trip....hindi ako masyada napagod kasi ok ang ride and hindi matagtag.....the clutch is light and the shifting is precise...i really enjoyed driving it....

recently changed my rims to a Ralliart replica (webbed design) 16x8.5 with 265/70/16 bridgestone dueler ATs....ganda tignan kasi labas ng fenders...parang lalamunin ung kalsada...hehehe...

Mga boss tsip,

I plan to change my stock tires to 265/70/r16 but I will still to use my stock mags. Ok lang ba even if it is a bit thin and virtually no offset? Btw my rig is the glx variant, mas manipis yata ng konti ung mags than the gls.

Thanks

wait for a long term review maybe 6 mons to 1 year or so, if you can wait that long... and if there is no immediate/business need for it antay na lang muna ... atleast you'd be able to know more about the product. waiting for a long term review of a product allows the initial problems to pop out in the real world that was not seen when it was tested during its development.

gano ba lapad ng stock rims ng glx variant? 16x7 din ba siya? if yes, ok lang ung 265/70/16 tyres dun bro....gaganda nga yan pag pinalitan mo rubber mo...just expect na medjo magbabago handling ng auto mo kasi sa bigat ng tyres....

sir drave,

tama sila, wait ka muna ng feedbacks about the product...hirap talaga magsisi sa huli...pero sana okay naman ung product...imagine the surprise ng isang toyota hilux 3.0D4D driver pag iniwanan mo siya sa isang drag race!

meron na ba price ung product sir? magkano?

[Drave]

Ron,

Sige na nga, makikinig muna ako sa inyo . Sabi sa akin na marami-rami na raw nagpakabit na mga fortuners and patrols and wala pa namang naging problema. May 2 years warranty rin yung product. Sa strada naman eh wala pa, ako lang yata ang nag-iisip nun. Mga 50-55k yung price, mahal din.

Wala naman akong immediate needs kaya lang naiinis ako na mabagal ang acceleration pag di pa nag-kick yung turbo. Pansin ito lalo na sa steep na paakyat. Meron din akong nakasabay na hilux sa isang incline at tino-taunt ako at meron ding ranger dito na ganoon din. Napopogian yata sa ride ko Pareho silang 3.0 kaya alam kong lugi ako. Pero mahirap kasi yung nakakalalake. Oh well....
