My question was in two parts. First the lack of convenient chargers. Second who can service them if the electrics go wrong??? Reason for the second was, I asked in my local Big Toyota garage last week if they had any people who can service same. Reply NO. They send them to BKK. They did add that they Might be getting service people sometime in the future. Sorry but I still can't see any reason to buy one here. In and around BKK I'll give you that. Also, maybe they are ok for local trips, but for long trips I'll stick to my Deisel. EG last week I did a 1000km return trip. Filled up with Fuel took around 5 min: Then went on to complete the journey without a stop. Next question. How many times would you have to stop to do the same sort of journey also how long would it add to the time???

Help required. Can someone inform me why Anyone would buy an EV in Thailand??? Reason for asking. I haven't seen any charging points. Also, who can fix one when they go wrong. I can see the point of cleaner air. But and it's a big BUT you can't travel any distance. They are a big problem in places like the USA also the UK. I can only think they would be less than useless in Thailand.

Lump of cast iron or not. The Tuna dose handle well rain or shine. It's not a sports car it's an MPV. My family were here for a holiday some time ago and I had to cart around 10 of us. Ok it was a bit of a push room wise, but it got us to where we wanted to go without any problems. So, they will do the job they were designed for. Oh, just one small point my lump is now 6 years old, and I have never had a problem other than changing the battery and general service.

I was similar to you had a Vigo when we got the house, Changed it for a Tuna once I didn't require it for carting things anymore.

Suggest you look up the difference in the two. The Revo is longer with leaf springs the Tuna has coil springs. Different shocks. + a lot of other changes. About the only thing that's the same is they both have chassis. Oh, have owned both they drive like totally different cars. The Tuna sticks to the road like glue, the Revo like all pickups will bounce all over the place at speed.

The 2.8lt is more economical than the 2.4lt. As the 2.8lt is geared down, different rear axle. Friend of mine has a 2.4lt Tuna, we have gone on several runs together. He can never get the same economy as I do from my 2.8lt. EG on runs, I get Ave: 6.1lt = 100km his is nearer to 7.2. We assumed that his comp: in the Tuna was not saying the same as mine so we tested it out both started off with a full tank, did a 1k KM return run I could have made it back with some fuel spare. He had to stop for fuel cos his fuel light came on when we had around 100km to go. So never assume that a small engine will get better Milage.
