Even it lose to Nissan Navara but it losses a mere 2 point the slimiest of margin. The real advantage of Triton is the 4M41 engine with its wide powerband.

Advise ko lang. I-check mo lang yung ride height left and right. Meron kasing napuna yung isang strada owner na hindi pantay yung ride height niya. Parang mas mababa yung left kesa right. May mga pinalitan sa suspension niya. The acceptable difference shouldn't be more than 1 cm.

Kuha ka lang ng tape measure at sukatin mo from the ground to the apex of the fender, comparing between the left front and the right front and between the left rear and the right rear. Make sure that the ground is level.

Yung sa akin may difference na 0.5-0.7 which is acceptable.

Sir Drave, galing ba sa mitsubishi yung less than 1 cm variance sa ride height? Yung rear ko kasi is aroung 0.8...pero yung front..1.5cm lower ang left. I wonder if pwede kong ipa correct yun sa mitsubishi on my 1,000 kms check up.
How about the other owners out there. Have you checked yours?

[ianmitsulancer]

Maybe not..but could anybody really truly feel the +8HP difference? that's around 4.8%.

how about the torque- which is the essence of pulling power! frontier's 403nm vs strada's 343nm- do we think that the strada will still outrun the frontier???

i think so... how about the others?

[drey]

I wouldn't recommend it still... The interior just feels so cheap. You will feel like a utilitarian yourself. :lol:

The Strada is still the best lifestyle pick-up!

I just bought my strada 3.2, this is the reason why Nissan is not my choice.

http://www.whatcar.co.uk/car-review-readers.aspx?RT=745

and there are ton's of problem with its engine/trany (surf the web). it took me more than 1 month reviewing (Thanks also sa Tsikot regarding info sa Strada) and i have decided not to wait this Dec. for the navara.

My next ride would be Santa Fe (5 Star NCAP Crash Test).

[Drave]

DonT,

I got this info from one owner in mymitsu forum. He had to bring it back to the casa and they were able to correct it. From what I know, there should be < 1 cm difference between left and right.

LANPARTY,

Great choice! I would've gotten the 3.2 too, had it been released earlier. But I'm still very happy with my 2.5. More than enough power and superb fuel efficiency. According to one chief mechanic here, he likes the 4D56 better than 4M41. Mas madali daw "masahihin" pag may nasira hehe...Baka kasi kabisadong-kabisado na nila yung 4D56

question: hindi ba tlga power folding ang mga mirrors ng strada? or is it just my version that doesnt have power folding side mirrors. mine is glx.

another question, does your floor mats slides at times when driving..slides towards the front? i saw some hooks sa floor, but the mats doesnt have holes to place it there. i'm thinking of putting two holes so naka fit sya sa hook and wont slide forward anymore.

Dati ko pa rin napapansin ito.. according to my service adviser, yung sa rear daw talaga may variance on most, if not all stradas. why i do not know. medyo tagilid siya tingnan from the rear. as for my front, my right is lower by 1.0 cm than the left. gusto ko na nga rin pacheck kung pwede macorrect ito. simple adjustment lang kaya?

Yup you are correct. Di power side mirrors natin.

Yup. the hook is for the floor mats. para di mag slide. Di ko pa rin maisip kung anu maganda gawin. pero if you have heavy type floor mats..di siya gaano magslide like 3M Nomad.

I agree.. the interior of the navara feels so cheap and outdated. that is kung same ng nasa CAMPI ang irerelease nila dito. coz the one in australia mas maganda ang interior with black and silver finish. and the leg room, especially at the back, exactly like old nissan pickups and the current patrol. ang sikip!

I guess grabe na kapag visually ay napapansin na tagilid nga yung strada. What I am just after is kung meron standard ang Mitsubishi regarding sa allowable variance sa levelness ng strada para madala natin kung nag exceed na siya sa standards.

thanks for the feedback DonT.

actually..i dont like the matting they gave me..it looks like it wasnt for the strada. anyhow, what i did, i have bought plastic floormats and placed it on top of the free matting, cut holes on the plastic floormats and it is fixed. no more movements.

it rained today and i saw water inside the bed. weird..theres no drain hole sa front portion of the bed of the strada.

just for curiosity's sake.. what's the diff between the strada gls sport and strada gls other than the engine and the rims? is the strada gls the same as the luxury variant which came out when this pick-up was first introduced? as i remember, the price before of the gls was around 1.2M.. what features were removed making it only around 1.1M today?

thanks!

[LANPARTY]

Magkano pala charge nang oil filter "4m41" sa casa. Sa akin P2,240 for the oil filter alone...parang mahal ata dito.

I was also looking for the drain hole before, but did not find it. Maybe I was'nt just looking hard for it.

If I remember correctly sa mga earlier threads...the price difference between the GLS and GLS Sport was only 50,000 pesos. Currently the GLS Sport is priced at 1.260M after discount. No Idea about the current price for the GLS. It could have been lowered due to the Forex, but I am really guessing here.

Anyway, physical differences where the Engine 2.5->3.2L, Wider Tires - 245->265 and the Limited Slip Differential. Hope I did not forget anything more. In anycase, thats good value for 50,000 difference. Maybe that's the reason they had to reduce the price of the GLS.

I've finally owned a 3.2 black strada.....

i've got it from casa davao and drove it back to cotabato...

Whats exciting bout 3.2 strada is....

The engine really growls, whew!
The acceleration is the best, you can feel the pull even though ur limiting your speed to 80-100kph coz i have to recheck it after 1000KM.

The aircon is very very cold....
I like the gauges and it makes me smile, coz i think theres no plastic cover on the the gauges and it temps me to touch it... bwehehehehe
It is very very good for nite travel, coz nothing escapes its light...
The 3.2 tires are big but i dont like the mags
The smoothness of the ride... whew! feels so great
The speakers works great, its kinda loud to my content..

What i hate bout my strada is the steering
Its not that smooth just like my nissan eagle
with just 1 finger i can turn the wheel not unlike the strada
But im quite satisfied with it...

Happy to own 1...

Posible kaya I can get that kind of deal here in cebu for the GLX model? Wala kasing kompetisyon ang mga dealer dito. 868K net!
