on the two choices you made, strada. it is the best riding pick-up in its class, classy interior, nice looks and is powerful also. the only plus of the ranger is its powerful engine. why not consider the D-Max. or you can wait for the upcoming Hi-lux.

We have both the strada and the ranger, bought on the same day. So far the strada has 165k kms on it and rides better than the ranger and with more amenities. The ranger on the other hand has only 50k kms on it at ayon nasa shop ngayon dahil biyak ang cylinder head. Go for the Strada. It looks better too!

For the ride, go for Strada.
For the pulling power, go for Ranger.
I think (think lang di ko pa kasi nada-drive), both of them are capable sa offroad, although the Ranger has better review of offroading sa [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] but owners of Strada here can attest that this ride is also very capable sa offorad.

Ranger has larger truck bed, very basic sa interior, not like the Strada it is more pleasing inside.

OT. I have two of my friends having problem on the transmission of their Strada, na fix naman, pero sirain nga ba ang transmission ng Strada?

if you have the dough, go for a d-max. but as for the two, it really depends on your taste. personally, i like both. but if you'll consider styling over performance, then get a strada perhaps. but if you want more muscle, go for a ranger instead-though it lacks the styling.

palerider47::: What's the primary duty of your pickup? Do you plan to haul stuffs in it, do 4wheeling in the near future? The models you have compared have its own ups and downs.
