2013 Hilux 2.5 E 4x2 Dsl M/T vs 2013 Strada 2.5 GLX 4x2 MT

2013 Hilux 2.5 E 4x2 Dsl M/T = P977k
2013 Strada 2.5 GLX 4x2 MT = P985k

- Which is a better? In terms of the following:

1. Reliability
2. Maintenance - Ease and Cost
3. Fuel Efficiency
4. Ride Comfort
5. Overall performance

- What are the common problems for the Hilux or Strada, if any?

- What are the advantages and disadvantages of driving a pick up?

I am choosing between the 2014 full model change Altis or a pick up. Because of the worsening flood situation in Metro Manila, maybe it would be more practical to drive a taller vehicle?

I am also thinking of adding a campershell. I know, I know :grin:

Also, does anyone have any idea of the cost of TVSS? The Hilux does not include it kasi.
