Isketi,
Ilan ba sa Dmax at sa Hilux.

Actually in defense of the Strada, mukhang hindi naman talaga siya meant to carry heavy stuff. Yung mismong agent na ang nagsabi na more on the recreational side siya.

Kaya nga it really depends on the customers needs.

How much ba ang typical payload capacity ng pick up? Around 750kg diba?

Uhhmmm..not sure eh..hindi naman ako nagkakarga ng mabibigat to the point of overloading.

Can someone enlighten us?

ang tagal ko ring inakala na may diff ang SOA sa under...anyway after testing the new strada, I believe. hehe. hmmm...so without changing to stiffer leafs, would it be safe to change mine to SOA?

hehehe. problema ko nalang ay yung IFS sa harap...mukhang di maabot ng TB adjustment...

D-Max 4x4 A/T: Curb weight: 2750 kg, Gross weight: 1930 kg = 820 kg payload
Hilux 4x4 A/T: Curb weight: 2790 kg, Gross weight: 1880 kg = 910 kg payload

Oo nga, below 1 ton silang lahat. Naloko tayo!

dapat magpapasring over axle ako dati kaya lang problema lang is yun tbar adjustment din. I opted for the hanger adjustment. Mas mataas pa din ang pwetan ng pickup ko kesa sa harapan kaya mukhang nakasubsob ng konti

Isketi,
I guess the lower the payload, the better the ride talaga..hehe.

the old strada which among the pick-ups has the best ride has spring under the diff. it is not the configuration as other said it is the leafspring tuning. that is why there are two stage leaf packs, look at the gen2 strada when you tail them the 2 last leafs are not in contact with the 3 main leaf making it a 3+2, unlike most of the other pick-ups.

the 2wd frontier is not that hard sa rear, its the shocks, instead of 1 bounce per lubak it is 3 bounces because of the fluid rear shocks it cannot dampen the movement. you try to observe when following these vehicles.
