Hi Tsikoteers,

I hope you can help me decide. I know this group would be biased towards Hilux but I would still appreciate your honest opinion.

I also know you can't get all favorable features sa isang choice pero I would consider a good compromise.

Eto po yung paggagamitan at considerations ko in purchasing pickup.
  • This will be my daily driver, replacing my current sedan Nissan Sylphy which has 11km/liter consumption on a 15km/h average speed. First time to purchase pickup so I'm interested kung ano yung consumption niya.
  • 80% of the time nasa cemented or paved road ang tatakbuhan but would definitely consider peace of mind na alam ko kakayanin mga akyatan and would stand a rough road.
  • I'm starting out a family (no kids yet) and will be moving out soon once na naturn-over na yung bahay namin. So hauling and cargo is important on the early stages.
  • I would want to keep it for at least 10 years sana so reliability and parts availability is also vital.
  • Medyo mahal yung uutangin so maintenance cost will also be an important consideration.
  • Plus factor pag naka leather seats na siya pero I would consider fabric seats if you can recommend a shop na nag reretrofit ng leather seats. Ang init kasi ng faux leather seat covers.


Also, please suggest ano ang necessary aftermarket upgrades at yung papogi para masabihan agad si misis hahaha!
Salamat po.

P.S. May Navara VL po ako nilagay kasi at same price range lang din sila ni Hilux at Ranger na AT 4x2. Kung may ibang suggestion kayo paki lagay nalang at ng reason. Ayoko na po sa Manual, masakit na sa tuhod. Although hanep yung manual transmission ng Hilux, ganda ng short throws.

Toyota Hilux Conquest 4x2 AT
Ranger 2.0L Wildtrak 4x2 AT
Mitsubishi Strada GLS 4x2 AT
Isuzu D-Max 3.0L LS-A 4x2 AT
Nissan Navara El Calibre 4x2 AT
Nissan Navara VL 4x4 AT
