New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[locoroco777]

some pickups and suvs have a shift on the fly feature for their 4h but only on unpaved roads. so please bear this in mind and verify with your 4x4s if you can shift on pave or unpaved roads because damaging your 4wd system can be a really costly mistake.

the one thing that makes the mitsubishi 4h special is it has an open center differential which makes it able to drive 4h on pavement, as for the 120kph on 4h, it is no problem, the main advantage of the easy select to 4h is shifting from 2h to 4h to a maximum of 100kph only, otherwise you will risk damaging the transfer lever, but once you've shifted to 4h, you can go upto the maximum 200kph with no problems, that is the super select 4wd system of mitsubishi that i know, use, and very familiar with base from my previous experience with the gen2 pajero, gen 3 pajero and the current montero sport. it is nice to see that they have adapted this to the strada which was unavailable in the previous generation strada.

thanks for the headsup sir! I'll keep that in mind...=D

sir locoroco777,

thanks for the reassurance backed up by statistics, i didn't mean to bash the strada if i sounded that way, it's just that it is my first time to own a pickup, but i have other 4m41 mitsubishi vehicles, and ive had good experiences with it.

naku sir...not at all....hehehe....I just wanted to ease your worries on your truck thats all...(no matter how cheesy it may sound )because as a fellow strada owner I wanted to assure you that you've made the right decision on going for the strada....

good luck with whatever vehicle you decide to purchase

sir arvs...meron na syang strada... all he needs now is an application and a sticker....

hope to meet you soon sir KCboy! ^_^

Hello po mga peeps. Finally got my Strada GLS Sport today. I just want to know how to join the club. I want to meet fellow Strada aficionados and get tips on anything about the strada. Kaya lang baka sa January ko na masubmit mga requirements dahil alis ako next week. Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry, bro, but I have to disagree with this. The Strada has a part time 4x4 system and not a full time 4x4 so shifting to 4H on a grippy road like a dry pavement is a no-no. You'll destroy your transfer case and differentials this way. You cannot even shift it on a wet pavement as long as there's good grip on all 4 tires, unless, maybe, you're running on straight lines always. Shift-on-the-fly only means that you don't have to stop or even go down the vehicle to lock the hubs in order for you to use the 4x4. Try turning your truck on a dry pavement while on a 4x4 mode and you'll notice in your steering and even hear some binding.

Easy Select is different from Super Select of the Pajero and the new Montero Sport wherein there's the 4HLc, meaning it's functioning like a fulltime 4x4. There's no 4HLc in the Strada, only 4H, 4L, and 2H. I think even the 2010 Strada doesn't have the Super Select.

Pls. correct me if I'm wrong.

i think you maybe right, i tried shifting to 4h on dry pavement and there was some resistance while i was steering.that is the reason why i posted and ask the difference of easy and super slect. i hope the strada club memebers here can finally settle this, but from your post, i might have to agree with you on this.

Pre, I used to have the Strada too and I've tried it's 4x4 system and that's how it really works. One thing I like though is the transfer case being lever type as opposed to some which has a push button or a knob. The lever type is more reliable than the electronic type. The front propeller shaft is also thick and looks strong and the pumpkins are relatively big.

so i guess it's settled then, the strada is easy select 4h can only be engaged on unpaved roads but can shift upto 100kph( but i doubt if you can go at this speed on rough unpaved roads).

gen2 pajero, gen3 pajero, new montero sport has the 4h than can be used for paved and normal roads.

I see then sir,

so what would you suggest if it rained really hard and I want to engage 4H? and that does mean that the same goes with the 4L? or should I be applying another style on engaging it?

Sorry for this questions, I know that it all can be found in the manual but I get totally bored when reading it and it would turn out that the intructions/ideas thats written there won't seem to stick into my head

TIA

we don't have the 4HL of the pajero and montero sport so if it rains really hard, you better slow down and drive carefully, the 4H of our stradas are for unpaved slippery surfaces only, as for 4L, that is the time when severe engine power is needed like going up mountains, steep inclines where the turning of the wheels are not even, if you need severe engine power on paved roads, you won't be able to turn the wheels properly. wish i can explain this more in details but am not that technical, i am just stating these facts base on my previous experiences of offroading.

[dadz]

im doing it and using my 4H every time na umuulan lalo na sa high way so far wala naman sira hehehehehehehehe technical or not im using mine according to what i feel that i need hehehehehehehehehehe

Bro, to be honest, when it's raining really really hard and I'm on an open highway (driving mainly on straight lines), I sometimes shift to 4H, then I go back to 2H when there are more cars coz I might need to change lanes and it's difficult to do so when on 4H. This way, you can also "exercise" your transfer case and front differential.

Actually I have an idea about the 4L in fact I was able to baptized it when we crossed the sandy river in pinatubo.....its just that Im kinda worried when you here that sound of na parang kinakambyo na hindi naka todo apak sa clutch...hehe

Mga sir and guru's of the bosb, can you please help enlighten me with my dilema regarding purchasing either a 2009my strada or 2010my.
I have talked with certain sales agents in giving me a good deal so that i may get one of the last remaining units of the 2009my strada ... being that aside from giving a bigger discount plus added freebies i'd get the 2009my directly but if i could not, logic would dictate that the better option would be to go ahead and get the 2010my strada.
How much of an added discount would be logical in this case from their 20k discount posted aside from the door visor and a utility box that they added as a come on to a would be buyer like me for the few remaining units of the 2009my strada? Or should i opt to go directly for the 2010 model and forget about the come on because 2010 is a newer model with a higher resale value? your views would be highly appreciated.

If you have the choice, go with the newest model, because the resale value will be higher than the older model, although asthetic changes and very minor. If you do go with 2009, then get other freebies like lto, full windshield tint, free insurance and other things if your good at haggling.

[elemental]

Thanks sir I'll try to haggle some more so as to get more freebies. So far, they added 6k on top of the 20k discount plus the utility box and door visor. subukan ko pa ng free lto or full windshield tint or both

Potek na magnanakaw yan... nadale yung spare tire ko.. sa tapat pa mismo ng apartment namin nadale... BADTRIP!!!!!!! Gob bless him. Sana this New Year di sila masunugan ng bahay... KAASAR!!!!

Dapat kasi bibili na ko ng spare tire lock today kaso pag tingin ko kanina sa ilalim ng Strada ko.. wala na yung spare tire na ikakandado ko.. KAASAR!!!

Mga sir, saan ba ko puede bumili ng spare tire and mga magkano kaya iyon?

Yung spare tire na ninakaw di naman yun naka - mags diba?

Naisip ko baka isunod nya side mirrors ko. Saan ba pued magpa etch ng plate number ng side mirror? Ano pa ba puede protection puede ko gawin para sa side mirrors?

Salamat ng marami.
