Best Pickup Truck

arthas™ · **on:** October 01, 2014, 02:29:48 AM

I'd like to seek for your opinion guys. What do you think is the best pickup truck? After my remaining years of paying for my car's amortization, I'm planning to sell it and buy a pickup instead. I'm not into the capacity to load stuffs but on how comfortable the interior would be. I'm sighting Mitsubishi Strada over Ford Ranger. Anyone who has experience on driving those vehicles? Now the floor is open for sharing. Thanks in advance.

great choices sir... Although my favorite wasn't included in your wish list hehehe... i had the chance to drive the Ranger all the way up to Baguio City and back... Diesel-matic... the cabin space was comfortable both for the pilot and it's occupants... this is were the americans lead the race in terms of design though it's still from Mazda but they have improved the already great ranger trekker or it's predecessor... the diesel engine was so quiet that you can't even notice it inside... i enjoyed pushing that overdrive button whenever i feel like making a pass on the vehicle in front of me at talaga naman walang bitin hehehe.... kahit patay ang buwelo nya say corner going up say close to a 45 degree angle, yakang yaka nya just shift it to D2, oh, i only used that D2 since we came from the Asin Hot Springs and going up for Baguio again was the main thrill there... ingress and egress was so easy.. alighting from that beast makes one feel some exclusivity what with great truck and that super masculine design... you better sign up for this no ordinary beast and the waiting line i think is not getting even shorter... as for the Strada, i haven't driven one but i happen to be a back occupant.. okay naman ang leg room pero simple lang sa loob... when i alighted, parang di kumpleto ang feeling ko it's like it has a feminine touch because of its design... i don't know why... The ranger needs no further after market upgrade but the latter needs one badly in terms of its thin wheels that goes with it... guys have this love for a truck and that owning one should have bases covered and best of it all, it must satisfy that masculine feeling in us... it's a Ranger for me in your given choices.... BTW, my brother is a chief service officer in one of Toyota dealers and has told me that among their diesel lines, except of course the cruisers, it was with great pride that it was their pick-up truck that has the best engine performance ever, talk about the best of the lot.... Hehehe...

Thanks for your words Master Legend

By the way, you've mentioned that your favorite was not in my list. Can you describe your favorite one? My list is just a sample. I may have missed the other models. Feel free to suggest. I'll be taking your words based on what you think or whether you've experienced driving that specific model.

toyota pick-up diesel manual... D4D 4x2.. again a passenger... more leg room and the feeling of comfortability was there and add to it is the security one feels inside... superior handling and trusted by americans in terms of reliability... not to mention the convenient replacement of parts... for me this is the 'truck'...

Great feedback. Thanks Mr. Bond. I'll consider your words for Toyota pickup. Manual transmission is cool.

Go for Ranger or If I may be permitted to go beyond the two choices then go for D-Max... the other choice is really not an option for me in terms of exterior and interior design. For pickups importante ang design kasi malaki ang factor nito sa durability ng chassis at ng kaha ng pickup.

Fuel Efficiency and performance id go for Isuzu Dmax......

Well, ako dito (middle east) ang gamit ko ay FORD explorer, subok na sa ganda at sa tibay... when income sa durability talagang maasahan siya at ganda ng takbo... pati ang safety nya napakaganda. fuel efficient siya... so nag research ako kasi gusto ko rin kumuha ng sasakyan sa pinas (although meron na akong isa), gusto ko kunin ay yung ford ranger XLT. Halos parehas sila ng specs ng gamit ko dito... kung sakaling bibili ako ay Ford na siguro... kung may ibang optiong dun ako sa toyota hilux...

pero nasa sa iyo pa rin yan kung ano ang gusto mo... wag ka lang magpadala sa matamis na dila ng mga sales man o sales woman he he he...

while i haven't tried to drive a mitsubishi strada. we have a ford ranger pickup in our house and i might say it is great... interiors and space is convenient... power and muscle is awesome... and to add to what they have already said... it feels like a car when you are driving it...

Spec wise, I'd go with ranger. Pero kung tibay ang paguusapan, Dmax

after watching this toyota commercial, maaaring may kasagutan na yung tanong ng thread na ito. remember this is not a modified pick up truck nor is this just special effects. totoo po ito.

they were transporting the space shuttle from the airport to the museum after it's last flight nung 2012. malapit lang sa opis namin nangyari ito. it created a lot of traffic kahit sa gabi pero everything was and is real. no special effects.
