best buy pick up

[blue_gambit]

My advise? with your budget of 1 to 1.2m.....I'll wait for the All new Ford ranger....

Yan ang magandang hintayin... Looks big in every way. Interior, payload, power... hehehe

[sjcbagacay04]

Sir, the 2012 models are worth the wait.... Hang on to your hard-earned money just a bit more.

May announcement naman ang Ford Ranger that this 2012, the 3.2-litre penta-cylinder is coming. This i think will guarantee the smoothest ride of them all, engine-wise (since it's a straight 5-cylinder) and chassis-wise (should come now with better suspension).


At a hindsight, as far as the current models are concerned:

If you're after ride comfort ---- the Navara ang Strada are well-suspended.

If you're after fuel-economy and engine longevity ---- the DMax 3.0 Ddi-iTEQ the most frugal of them all. Also, you know anyway for a fact that Isuzu are timing chain and gear-driven anyway. Our 2003 Crosswind has thus far travelled 320,000 km now and counting (no major engine maintenance nor opening up), and our 2004 DMax 3.0 TD Intercooler, the same no opening up of the engine, 300,000 km now and counting. Now, let's see if our 2008 DMax 3.0 Ddi-iTEQ can outlast the two.

If you're after chassis-longevity ---- both the DMax and the Navara have 8-cross members rolling chassis, the most number in the class.

But if i were you, i would wait for 2012.

Goodluck!

Good PM. You now Engr., now these days d dinadaan sa reliability issues ang pagpili at pagbili ng DREAM CAR ng mga FILIPINOS. Ito'y binabase sa kanya looks,power, comfortable, fuel consumption, parts, maintenance cost,casa service, reliability, car-like driving at for all in one purposes. Dinadaan din ito sa Good Marketing strategy ng ilang motor companies na nabibigay ng good impression at casa service sa society. Sana d ka magfocus ng isang product nangdahil sa achievement na ngawa sa Vehicle mo.. Sana Iangkop mo rin sa needs na gusto ng ka-tsikoteers at sa lahat. Sana maunawaan niyo bilang kapwa Mining Engineer. Salamat po!

Prepare yourself. He's going to drown you with charts & facts.

For thos recommending that I wait for the 2012 models, do you have any timeline as to when they will be available? I'm planning to purchase kasi before the end of this year but if its a reasonable wait naman with my timeline like Jan or Feb next year, then I can supress the urge.

I've been going through the thread for each brand and I would say its getting confusing but revealing at the same time. May kanya-kanyang horror stories ang mga CASA, each model has its own known defects and problems. Ang maganda lang siguro is I get to learn what are the most important features that I should consider and yug strength ng bawat brand.

I have decided to go back to square one, identify the most important features that I want, treat each comment/observation with a grain of salt, and arm myself with lots of questions and a checklist when I start test driving each model.

Keep those recommendations coming.

Yes that's the best you can do. Rank the features you need and want the most tapos pick a top 3-4 pick-ups you are eyeing and then rank them from 1-4 on the basis of the features. But this should be based on personal test drive sana para talagang alam mo yung gusto mo.

[vhronx]

For gunslinger,

I just want to add some comments to Ry_Tower's comment to you. He has made a great recommendation. Sir Ry_Tower if you don't mind.

1. Get a top 3 and based it on what you NEED. The want(additional features) is just optional.
2. The top 3 is based on the available model. If there are coming new models, you compare the new feature(s) to see if you need to wait for that new model and its worth the wait. You weight it to you need today.
3. Get some pointers from your family. Their need(s) may give some weight on your choice.

Yes that's the best you can do. Rank the features you need and want the most tapos pick a top 3-4 pick-ups you are eyeing and then rank them from 1-4 on the basis of the features. But this should be based on personal test drive sana para talagang alam mo yung gusto mo.

Engineer! Naintindihan naman kita eh.... Huwag ka mag-alala engineer, yang mga accomplishments na nasabi mo sa mga nagkataon lang na pickups namin pa-una palang mga yan, madami pang dumadagdag sa odometer reading nila

Kung tingin mo engineer maka-bagong buyer ka na at tumitingin sa tulad ng mga nabanggit mong madaming aspeto sa pickup, at ini-lahat mo na mga Filipino sa estilo mo engineer, may mga matatanda pa rin naman na tulad ko na mahilig sa simpleng pickups, traditionalists na pickup driver lang naman tayo bosing at Filipino din naman tulad mo.... Kung reliability, durability, fuel consumption, at casa maintenance satisfaction ang iilan sa mga tinitignan mo engineer, ganoon din naman tayo sir engineer. Besides, hard-earned pera mo naman gamit mo sa pambili ng pickup maging ano man naisin mo, at gayon din naman tayo sir engineer.... Yang mga katangian na yan na simple lang at dependable din naman, nagkataon lang na nakita ko yan sa DMax.

Kung nais ng thread-starter ang Strada sa mga current models ngaun o kahit ano pa man, puede naman, pinagpagurang pera naman niya gamit niya engineer.... Ngunit, kung nanaisin din ni thread-starter ang bagong 3.2-litre Ford Ranger, di naman din bawal at di masama. In the same manner, pera pa rin naman niya gamit niya engineer, di ba?

Ayos ba engineer o ayos nalang sir engineer?

to the TS...

BTW, im referring to the 2.2 liter variant just to be clear....

because the 3.2 will probably hit the 1.5m mark...

Help please :D what about a good pickup for floods?

Sir, all current locally-available high/tall-stance utility pickups are good-to-wade against floods, to certain levels.

NOTHING really spectacular about it nor worth to rave about, as they should perform REASONABLY-well under such conditions ---- IT IS EXPECTED OUT OF THEM

lugi kana....kasi babaratin ka ng ford.

[truckesh]

the are already reviews/test drive on this 2012 3.2L Ranger, engine seems not quite refined but the interior & ride are better than the Nav.

[spicysquid]

Thanks for the response sir hinDmaxsiado

ranger!!! ranger lang ang sealed ang ECU...

tests and actual use has shown that the ranger has the best fording capability amongst its counterparts... yun nga lang, it is conceded na dito sa pinas, medyo mababa ang resale value... pero kung pang utility talaga at hindi pang-japorms, ranger pa din ang da best.. ;)

In my previous company field service of the engr's are Fuego, Dmax, ranger and Hilux. The least problematic are Toyota, 2nd Isuzu, dead last Ranger. SO for utility and heavy cargo loading, ranger is definitely not the best based on my experience. Siya lang yung best in terms of acceleration and top speed. Good brakes too.

Thanks for the responses :D I appreciate it. You guys are very helpful.

Wow, this threads very informative. Im learning more here than in my English class.

ganun ba? sa ibang thread kasi heaviest daw ang loading capacity at towing capacity ng ranger... tas may youtube vid na naghatakan yung ranger at hilux, talo hilux...

depende ata talaga sa needs at appreciation ng driver... hmmm....

Choosing pick up, I also consider the passengers comfort. During test drive, advice ko to take your kids with you and sit with them at the back. Kapag sobrang TAGTAG, whew, kawawa naman ang sakay mo. I give more love to peoples comfort than car itself. Unless you will drive it alone always, just consider your own comfort
