help on choosing pickup

[zildjian]

mga bossing,

ano ba best buy na pickup? type ko sana hilux kaso mahal ang mga 2000 model for my budget. how about fuego mga peeps? oks ba in terms of performance and maintenance? yung a/c nya ayos ba performance and maintenance? hehehe... hindi katulad ng honda city na kailangan may lagariin para mapull-out ang evaporator. let me know na rin baka may kilala kayo nagbebenta.

thanks sa lahat ng makakatulong.

Pare!

Maganda ang Frontier, Ranger, o kaya L200. Kung pang delivery lang naman, AD Resort puwede na!

Tanong mo kay Tonton, baka binebenta si Madmax!

[kimpOy]

i assume pre owned ang hanap mo sir Z

4x2
isuzu fuego/ford ranger trekker, tough agile, soild all around, nothing fancy but gets the job done

4x4
1997 Toyota Hilux, leaf springs on all four so madaling i lift, downside matagtag, upside trail ready pickup, madaming aftermarket gizmos

Strada, Frontier, RangerPogi points, nice ride,

[zildjian]

boss kimpoy, yup pre owned lang ala tayo budget for brandnew. thanks very much for the info, consider ko pointers mo. mukhang gusto ko na rin nga ranger dahil yan ang dinidiin ni green sa akin kaso wala akong makita na for sale na 2nd hand.

pareng green, di yata pwede ad resort dahil plan ko idispose na rin yung rolla ko so kailangan pang pamilya din ang dating. huhhhh huhhh mahal na mahal ko pa naman yung rolla ko na may gotohan swerte makakabili.

[kimpOy]

sir Z,
magkano po ba ang budget?
at ano ang mga critiria? (AT, MT, 4x2, 4x4???)

[tebs]

magkano ba budget mo?
baka pwede ang pick-up namin na fuego for you.
click my sig for the fuego

[zildjian]

mga 400k. mt at 4x2 lang.

[tebs]

sakto description mo sa pick-up namin a!

baka gusto mo makita yung pick-up namin. it's still negotiable naman e. pero look at it muna. just let me know.

[wildthing]

yup fuego would be a good choice...casa lang naman nila ang pangit ang services minsan (as per hearsay)...at 400K maganda na makukuha mo...less than 5 years old na pick-up na ang price range na yan....sa mazda na 2.5 (ung late model nila before the ranger) baka may makuha ka na 4x4 at that budget.

[zildjian]

oppsss, sensya na nalimutan ko sabihin na kailangan 4 years old dapat dahil ipasok ko sa car loan ng company. sayang preng tebs 98 model kulang ng isang year.

oks nga sana yung mazda or ranger kaso wala sa mga ads.

zildjian,

check out the classifieds under used cars. my 2000 4X4 strada is in the market full of aftermarket goodies.

among the locally available diesel pick ups, 2 lang talaga gusto ko.

nissan frontier:

pros: undoubtedly, the smoothest running diesel among pick ups here. also the best in terms of looks. nissan light commercial vehicles are known to be very reliable, ever since the eagle series pick up days. i believe the frontier won't be the country's best selling pick up if it wasn't that good. loads of standard features.

cons: really harsh ride. the suspension was tuned for heavy payloads. it also has the least rear passenger leg room.


isuzu fuego:

pros: also a great diesel engine, although not as quiet as nissan's diesel. parts available almost everywhere. among all pick ups here, the fuego's interior is my favorite. simple yet practical.

cons: steering feels so light (and also unresponsive). interior panels come off quite easily (ours has cracked wood paneling already).

i'd go for the ford ranger, as it has the most powerful engine in its class! i've driven one already and it can almost accelerate like a sedan... with enough oomph to overtake confidently...

[wheelieboi]

para sakin parang the ford ranger is not a very good choice for segunda mano. parang mas ok to kung brandnew pagkakuha.
reliability para sakin ung main issue dito eh.

no offense to ranger owners. opinion ko lang po.

y not get a nissan frontier since ok naman ang pickup na to. tapos mababa resale value ng nissan so mura yung mga 2ndhands.

o isuzu fuego if u want/need tough reliable engines.

pero love your own tlaga. so hilux nalang hehehe =)
my 2 cents.

[4x4fan]

4x2 fuego heavy duty talaga tibay pang harabas

[zildjian]

thanks mga peeps for the inputs, really a great help. mukhang yung frontier and fuego ang nananalo... huhhh walang toyota except for the love your own... di ba wheelieboi?

bossing woodfire, ibibigay mo ng 400k yung strada mo!? heheheh wala ng usapan... from asking price of 550k to 400k I won't ask for more. heheheh baka ibigay mo nga ng 400k pero walang laman engine compartment. joke joke lang po..... email ko po kayo.

mga peeps, i love the inputs... keep them coming.

[kimpOy]

Z,
kung kaya mo ang strada ni woodfire, A-OK yan, wala ka ng hahanapin pa pwede ka sumama sa amin sa high peak this november.

between fuego and frontier, sa fuego ako.

[wheelieboi]

Love your own nga talaga. Sa stance ok talaga porma ng hilux. In stock form ok naman cya. the engine s competent enough pero don't expect zooming past rangers/stradas. Iba talaga pag turbo. sana maglabas toyota ng hilux na 5L turbo hehe...But pag gusto mo marami aftermarket products. Taas ng list of available goodies ng hilux.

Get the strada nalang o fuego. Parang mas maganda ung engines ng dalawang ito compared to the frontier.

not so true with nissan lcv's.. yung mga galing universal motors di mababa ang resale.. only the cars..

yung friend ng erpats ko got a 2000 limited ed. frontier black for 590t na sariwa pa tlaga. the only thing he changed were the sound system. And to think na maarte yun sa kotse nya.

ingit nga ako dahil mga 2 months b4 nmin binili yung hilux ko 98 model for 600k. pero trade in yun sa civic namin
