This would put a 3.0 V6 TD in a Wildtrak at ~1.5M. Surely that is a great value proposition for the Thai market? You can't get that sort of engine /drive-train (full-time 4WD / V6 TD) in anything here for less than double? that it seems. Anyway, as there must be a reason, could you enlighten us Mr.DavisH? I would like to completely quash my hopes for a V6 Diesel Ranger here if that is in fact the reality! I can only think that it would cost more than the current petrol raptor if it has the same spec. It's a shame, as the diesel is being produced here for overseas markets. Maybe wait a year or 2 when the current owners offload their 4km/l raptors for a good price:) Definitiely a v6 diesel in a wildtrak at about 1.4-1.5m makes a lot of sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon wait to buy until the facelift vehicle hits the market, Ford may see the error in their way and offer the Wildtrak with diesel V6.

That's what I am thinking I would be very tempted with the wildtrak v6. Also if Toyota release a V6 then I would be even happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyF Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I'm pretty close to putting down a deposit on one of these. Just one issue is bothering me, these issues with the 10 speed transmission. A colleague had a Ford Everest (2020?) that left him stranded on the Chalong Rat highway due to a gearbox issue that the Thai technicians told him was apparently a known fault, and when I googled it there seems to be a lot of issues with that gearbox. So does anyone know if this transmission issue has been resolved for the new Raptor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilly07 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Ford have a nasty habit of ducking responsibility and the maintenance of older models to try to get you to upgrade just like iPhone. Also Ford have far to many recalls for faults. Stick with your Toyota! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussieroaming Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I have had plenty of drive comparisons between Ford and Toyota Twin Cab 4 x 4's, albeit Ford couriers, not the ranger. The ford's always had issues with windows and doors jamming up after a while on 4 x 4 dirt roads, as well as <deleted> suspension. But the raptor might be better I guess. I would never own a Ford again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they sell "Raptor" in Thailand ?!!! anyway I will probably buy a "wildtrak" next year. What interests me about it is rear disc brakes and becomes that leather seats. ฿1,050,000.

Yes they sell a 3.0 v6 here If budget and fuel consumption is of no concern, it's a good choice. Otherwise the wildtrak will do just fine in most situations.

kwak250 Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 I am so tempted but it's a shame they do not do the V6 diesel . If they did I would possibly take the risk of once again owning the blue oval. I have had so many years of taking for granted how the trusty Toyota''s have just done what they are meant to and never broke down that I am willing to give the Ford a go again.

Talking with sales and marketing people I know that work at both Thailand facilities, V6 diesel in Thailand has never been planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that's what I am hoping and looking at the reviews it seems like the perfect model.

I see they have a wildtrak and a raptor for test drives at our local Ford but I tend to avoid test drives as I find myself sat in the chair signing for purchase far to easy.

Thailand Ranger misses out on a lot more stuff than the V6 compared to what is delivered to Aus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't looked closely into the spec differences.. Do you refer to bling as in certain safety features?
