Stradas-At-Work

[ianmitsulancer]

Hi guys. Most of your stradas are new, mine's 8 years old already, though it's been with me for only 2 years. It's really a working horse since the roads in Basilan are really terrible.... Bago lang akong nakaregister dito, ask ko lang if somebody can help me with its maintainance... tips perhaps. Wala kcng service center sa boung isla...thanks

* nickcmf, hello po sir. i believe that proper engine maintenance can still be observed by at least doing an oil change every 5,000kms. I also believe that you can do your own maintenance by checking on any of the following components during the Light, Moderate and Heavy periodic checkups that the casa is doing. The description of what is done can be found at your service manual. i hope that answers your question sir. Drive Inspired and Ingat po diyan!

*mayana- welcome to the thread, i believe there is actually a picture of arvin_cristi's red strada with a tractor twice the height and the tagline is "David & Goliath". pls feel free to back read as well as back read on the Strada Merged threads- all 315 pages of kulitan... hehehe. Drive Inspired to you.

*arvin - may laman ba ang mga drum? ingat lang po... i do recall seeing a sticker on the bedliner about taking precaution in handling petroleum products on pickup beds ...

nice pic ninong arvin. sulit talaga ang Strada mo.

[Arvin Cristi]

heheheheh thanx mga sir!!!

thats why pickups were made! heheheh
the drums contained 200 liters of oil each, the 6 pails contained around 18 liters each.... the approx load on the bed is 1ton ++


sir alainroyce.... yupyup that was me!!!

actually people keep giving me weird looks when they see how much the bed is carrying!!hehehehe

arvin, i cant view your pics!!! why? --- nakita ko na rin, ayos!

ngayon nila sabihin na walang silbi beds ng strada!

[Drave]

I don't know if Arvin Cristi can confirm this, but the best ride feel of the strada is experienced when fully laden, including the truck bed. No issues like steering vibrations, handling problems, rear wallowing, and leaf spring noise. The ride is really like a big sedan, with a floaty feel. The power, even from a 2.5, is very adequate. The brakes, with ABS and EBD, are superb. Sometimes, I'm tempted to go fast even with the load.

I say that the truck bed space is adequate for my usage. One just needs a good amount of imagination.

It's really a pick-up truck, in disguise.

I like this statement, sir Drave.

[bluemica]

actually ganon naman talaga ang ginagawa ng mga tao para mawala tagtag ng auto nila kahit pa hi lux or frontier. normally 3 sako ng bigas pero mahal na ngayon eh baka lupa na lang hahaha

mga sir, a loaded rear end will alway provide the best ride on any pickup or any vehicle for that matter.... kasi majority of the weight is usually on the front where the engine is, so that leaves the rear end floating which makes it more bouncy... same thing with the steering, because of the unbalnced distribution of front to rear weight the steering tends to shake and rattle more.

sir drave....tama ka sa mga sinabi mo tungkol sa feel ng ride with a loaded bed...as for the space, well i wish it had a bit more room...but we can always find a way to fit it all in!!! hehehe

sir bluemica....nilalagay ko pag long driving dati 60 kilos ng buhangin sa bed! hehehehe

[bluemica]

hehehehe yung iba din nga 3 sako ng bigas so 150 kilos pero hindi strada kasi hindi naman kailangan ng strada ng ganon kabigat para maging stable, navarra siguro hahahahaha
