Popular Post guzzi850m2 Posted September 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2018 Well actually 2 next to each other. Green plates so for carrying paying passengers. Spoke to one of the drivers, 1.6mill baht, 3.0l diesel engine (old Vigo/Fortuner engine?), lots of space inside, have 2 benches in the cargo compartment facing each other. Not interested myself but wonder if anybody knows something about them, there was a Thai logo on the back on both, so perhaps Thai developed? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halfaboy Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I have also seen one of these. I think these are used by a travel agency to show tourists the 'countryside'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naboo Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 As rixalex said, made by Thai Rung. Its based on a Toyota Vigo chassis and engine, so handles like a truck. Loads of extra plastic and bling. I had a good look at one on display in a shopping mall near me I guess some people will love them, but for me not worth 1.6 million. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Thairung Transformer ll, so, yes, Thai developed using mainly Toyota parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AhFarangJa Posted September 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2018 I think this one has finer lines, more subtle style, and best of all is a lot cheaper.................. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the windscreen back it looks a lot like a Land Rover 110 station wagon. I would like to have a good look at one but not at that price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enoon Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 That's it folks. That's the nearest thing there is to a "Thai" car industry. Everything else is the contemporary equivalent of indentured labour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacessit Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Looks almost like one of the old Land Rovers or Land Cruisers. Just when you think you've seen the butt-ugliest SUV, along comes another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The newer one are no longer toyota engine. They might as well just copy the hummer and sell more, this look like something a elementary school kid drew up.
