Toyota Hilux vs Mitsubishi Stada vs Isuzu D Max

[OliverEX]

Guys, I'm planning to buy a pickup truck na base model lang. My options are Toyota Hilux E 4X2 2.5 D4D , Mitsubishi Starda GL 2.5 CRDi, or Isuzu D-Max 3.0 4x2. Please help naman. Parang gusto ko na kasi yung Hilux kaso parang di bagay ang height nya sa bulk ng sasakyan. Gwapo sana ang 4x4 kaso wala na sa budget. Okay din yung Starda kaso parang madaming complain ang Mitsubishi. D-max naman, pinakamahina sa lahat. Please advise me naman about thier riding comfort, power, strong resale value and yung quality. Thanks.

bat dimo subukan ang ranger trekker 2.5tdci . pinaka powerful sa lahat ng pinag pipilian mo ? 143hp/330nm torque . simple lang porma pero truck talaga.

Correction lang po.
Ang pinaka mahinang output ay ang Hilux 2.5CRDi, 102hp; Dmax 3.0, 128hp; at ang Ranger 2.5CRDi, 143ps.

Sa tatlo mas pipiliin ko pa ring ang Dmax LS (ABS, aibags at EBD).
salamat po. :wave:

  OO nga pala. Mas powerful nga ang D-max 3.0 kaysa sa Hilux na 2.5 D4D. Kaso masyado na mahal ang LS 4x4. Eh LX lang kaya ko. Pero good choice nga din ang D-max. CRDi na ba ang DMax? Okay rin sana ang Ranger Trekker 2.5 TDCi kaso face lift lang to lumang Ranger. At maliit ang interior space nya. Kaya wala siya sa listahan ko. Baka kasi biglang magbago ng modelo, naluma agad ang sasakyan. Please correct me nalang kung mali ako. thanks.

kung base model pickups, choices mo ang mga ito:

Toyota Hilux 2.5D-4D  J
Isuzu D-Max LS 2.5 (using the 81PS 4JA1 2.5 turbo non-intercooled)
Mitsubishi Strada 2.5 4x2 (Di-D ata to.)
Ford Ranger 2.5  (using the previous 117hp turbo-intercooled 2.5 diesel)

HIndi na ba available ang dmax LS 3.0 4x2??? yun ang binabanggit ko... kung crdi sya eh di mas maganda. :wave:

the 3.0 4x2 LS is still available. but the base model of the D-Max lineup is now the 2.5 4x2 LT with the 81PS 4JA1 2.5 turbo non-intercooled diesel engine. it's pretty expensive for a base model pickup at P805,000.    I'd rather have the Hilux 4x2 2.5 J for less.

Guys, bat parang di pa ata namementon ang Strada 2.5 CRDi 4X2 GL dito? Ito kasi pianakabase model ng Strada, yung bago na, liban sa L200 GLX 4X4 na may brand new parin kahit base Endeavor model pa. Kasi itong Strada GL, power windows, central locking, at power steering na. Thanks.

Sir, oliverEX. i own a 2007 strada GL. Very strong engine, more powerful than 2.5 diesel DMAx and 2.5 diesel Hilux. Don't know about  the Ford 2.5 diesel thou. I am very satisfied, for my choice it was the better choice as compared to the toyota hilu and Isuzu Dmax because mainly by the stance/height plus better engine, good looks, good suspension, Great price, good interior plus right now Mitsubishi is having a 20K cash discount for its strada. Value for money it is the winner. The ford 2.5 diesel ranger is ok sana but i never had any good experience with any Ford cars we previously owned. Ford cars, SUV, pickups are good sana but tend to break down easily, parts are sooo expensive and resale value is very low.
So the Strada GL at a little over 800K is the best priced pick-up in the market. You can also try checking out the Strada 4x2 GLX. its only 70K more than the GL model but it has airbags na, better stereo, bumper, mags, bedliner, foglights, etc. If you plan to use it for family use then the GLX may be a better option and its still almost the same price as the base model of the DMAX and HiLux.
Mitsubishi is tested na for offroad and rough use, ok naman yung strada plus resale value is very high too.

  Thanks Ale828. I'm thinking of the Strada GL talaga. kaso I'm waiting for feedbacks, baka mas maganda ang isa sa isa. Pero parang maganda kasi ang Strada GL talaga kasi mataas na, at all powered pa, unlike sa HiLux and D-Max. maganda ibayhe bakasyon sa Bicol na madaming sira ang kalye, sa Quirino at Sipukot. Kagagaling ko lang Carworld, and white lang ata ang kulay ng Starda GL. Pero happy na ako dun, blessing din ng Diyos to. Pero di namention sakin na 20K discount. Pati ba GLX kasama? Nagbago na din kaya ang Mitsubishi sa reliability nila? I mean 4 to 5 years from now. Thanks.

kung ako siguro pipili, hilux

[deltatune]

if hilux 4x2 medyo mhina mkina pero madali lng palakasin eto,intake,exhaust and chips..if yuo want to have 4x4 looks..madali lng din un gwin sa hilux..khit lagyan mo pa ng malaki gulong madali pa rin e2 ma compensate by regear..yuo can even have an LSD installed on yuor 4x2 hilux...

[rkp]

baka magiging break out year ng mitsubishi ang 2007 or 2008. ang raming bagong magandang models na lalabas in terms of looks and reliability. great performance too! maganda talaga ang mitsu dati un nga lang nagka problema sila during 2002-2006. pero ngayon nagiging ok na ulit sila. ang raming review galing japan, US and europe na ok na ok na ulit ang mitsu!

[OliverEX]

Nakafix na mind namin ni misis sa Mitsubishi Strada. Though Toyota loyalist ako, may isa naman kaming 99 Space gear GLX (local)na very satisfied kami. Now another Mitsubishi is comming sa garage namin, very excited na ako sa blessing na ito. Sa Tuesday na namin kukunin, kung may stock na.  :cheer:  Pero Starda GL lang kukunin namin. Thanks guys sa help nyo ha?  :thumbsup:
