Which pickup should I choose this 2020?

[dplgngr]

You can upgrade the hilux suspensions.. the nissans steering cant be upgraded.. that's the only issue I see with nissan. Hilux din ako..and 2nd would be the new dmax..

Ah, kung andiyan yung new DMAX, yes. I agree. Sa Hilux, ang only contention ko talaga is the higher price vs competition. Kaya kung maganda lang discount then Hilux ang #1 pick again, wala na second thoughts. =)

If they release the DMAX 2020 here in PH before I have the funds ready then I should easily pick DMAX as well. Better interior than the current one (which is plain), better infotainment, better dashboard, etc. I've heard issues on Ranger and Navara but never for Hilux except the usual matagtag complaints (which you can upgrade the suspension as you mentioned), but yeah the initial price tag haha. If I go with the hilux I might use it stock for a year or two to save funds and spend some money for 'hilot' as my body might need some adjustments coming from Zero-Gravity seat feature of Nissan.

I had a 2012 XLT and sold it November of 2019. I did not experienced any major problem aside from the rear power window and hazard button, but I have it fixed before selling it.

During the 1st 3yrs it's CASA maintained w/c probably averages around 16k every PMS. After the warranty, since my ranger is low mileage 35k km when I sold it, I just have it serviced at SHELL which costs me around 7K pesos for every change oil (FULLY SYNTHETIC) and that's just once a year. I'm quite satisfied with its performance even with a 2.2 displacement, that's also the reason why I replaced it with a Ranger as well but with a 3.2 displacement. Now, my 3.2 is more than 2 years already and I'm still is very much satisfied and I don't have any regrets of buying another ranger as a replacement.

Interior and Exterior looks and quality plus creature comforts was also the main reason I prefer the ranger over the other brands.

I haven't driven the rest on your list, so Goodluck on your choice!

I'm really easy on my car and a defensive driver. I rarely push the car to its limits so that's why I was considering Ranger as well. I have friends with a Ford Ranger and Everest and they have no complaints so far except for the high maintenance cost, but as you have said, pickups don't have to be regularly maintained (at most twice a year, or once a year for my driving habit).

If i will buy a pick-up hilux will be my #1 choice.. classic design and that T badge! Kahit yung review sa australia ng mga pick up toyota has the highest resale value... kasi matibay talaga.. pero mitsubishi triton yata ang choice nila based on points.. engine and transmission durability.. ang problema nila sa strada yung position ng axle relative to the truck bed.. wala sa gitna kaya prone daw mag break yung chassis kung palaging heavy load.. pero kung daily and slight truck duty panalo ang strada

I've watched several comparo videos on youtube including the one you mentioned. It was discussed there what upgrades are needed as well. Although I won't be abusing the car on that level and terrain it is good to know the technical aspects.

I've watched this video several times already haha. I've been waiting for AutoDeal's review on the Nissan and Dmax.
