Jitar Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Trans, Might take more than that to get you off Ralf's blocked list. Your link is referencing the next gen Ranger and Amarok, not the current models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So once again I ask, what components are shared between it and the Amorok. Don't nail me on this, I just did some casual reading. Current and new Ford Ranger have a chassis with internal naming T6. It's designed to fit interior parts from Volkswagen, making the Amarok. I think the AT 10 speed gear will also be used in the next generation Amarok. Any more details, please Google and read by yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your previous post you called out the 2.2 Ranger which is current model, the 2.2 will not make it into the next gen Ranger (coming end 1st quarter this year). Current T6 platform that is available on the marketplace today is code name P375 and predates the Ford/VW collaboration so has zero VW content. Next Gen Ranger code named P703 carries over the same basic T6 chassis but with significant changes to suspension pickup points, it will share very few components with VW (as sold as a Ranger). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seedy Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 There is a VERY good reason why Toyota is recognized as a class leader world wide. That being said, Izusu (Mazda) are equally good. Parts cheap, servicing cheap, why would you look anywhere else ? Don't like the seats ? Stereo ? Want 360 camera ? All available in the aftermarket, and electronics much better - both design wise and application wise - than the factory stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And both brands slammed by recent tests and reviews from automobile journalists. Never seen a Toyota or Isuzu in the winner rankings. But anyone to it's own liking. If you like a car with 20 year old technology and interior, go buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, and virtually every pickup offered here is tried and tested and will likely perform flawlessly. You can't even determine what the best value is, without knowing what is important to the buyer. For example, most everyone knows a "sport" package is typically mostly just an appearance package, yet some buy it and some don't. When someone buys the "sport" package, it does not mean they think they are getting a "sport" truck, it just means that they like the way it looks, and they are willing to pay the upcharge. Some that doe not like the look, or does not care about the look is not willing to pay the extra. To one it's a good value, to the other it is not. I say buy something you like the look and feel of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seedy Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Look in Africa, the Middle East, most of Asia, especially away from urban centers. See a lot of Fords ? NO - what you see are Toyotas. Why ? And these 'journalists' - where are they ? In the west, where pickups are an urban vehicle. When the going gets tough, the tough get Toyotas. Not some fashion accessory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grin Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 My step daughter and her husband had an Isuzu D-Max diesel that has now passed to my stepson. I've been quite surprised at its handling and comfort. I've driven it a bit and it seems like a nice vehicle. I have ridden as a front seat passenger on trips from Chiang Mai to Bangkok and back and it was comfortable as well. However I've not ridden in the back seat so I can't comment on that. It's never really used for hauling except for luggage and the occasional motorcycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not some fashion accessory. Actually Ford is the second biggest seller in Africa right behind (wait for it) VW. But yeah, if you're watching a TV show or movie about Africa you will likely see all Toyotas. To be clear, I currently own my forth Toyota, but the idea that they build significantly better or more technologically advance products that any other major manufacturer is silly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
