billd766 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I don't care. I want one to replace my 2001 Ford Ranger 4 door 4x4 with the old engine, pre D4D. Unless of course anyone knows where I can find a D4D engine and gearbox for mine? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noahvail Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hello everybody,What do you think about it? I think in 5 years it may be hard to find *any* ford replacement parts for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary A Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hello everybody,What do you think about it? I think in 5 years it may be hard to find *any* ford replacement parts for it. I think you are wrong BUT if that should happen, Mazda parts will work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluestu Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I prefer the one it is replacing, IMO the new one is quite feminine. Here's a pic of the one I bought last year, prefer the square style to the new rounded one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary A Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Actually I prefer a truck that looks like a truck. I appears that Ford has decided that the lumpy bumpy looks of the Vigo will sell better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulfromphuket Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 its just another antique wrapped up in a modern body, crap live rear axles and 3 speed autos. why do people buy this sh1t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingray Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I'm glad that at least Ford have enought balls to build Pick Up Trucks wich looks different than the usual boring Japanese stuff, like Vigo and Company. At least Ford looks american. Ford Wild Track is the only Pick Up Truck here in LOS wich i would consider to buy. Techically it's all the same Ford Toyota Mitsu, Nissan,: A four banger noisy ratteling Diesel engine. To bad there in no V8 built. So Ford is not more or less sh..t than eny other Pick Up Truck and for some peaple who don't know: Ford is Mazda so it is Japanese Techonlgy. For me are Ford Picks No.1, Chevrolet No.2, Nissan Navara No.3. The rest i would never ever consider to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary A Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 its just another antique wrapped up in a modern body, crap live rear axles and 3 speed autos.why do people buy this sh1t I wouldn't buy a truck with an automatic transmission, BUT, the Ford Ranger happens to have a five speed automatic. I judge a diesel engine by how many kilometers it will go on a liter of diesel. The Ranger is second ONLY to Isuzu. Toyota happens to have the worst fuel economy. With a five year or 100,000 kilometer warranty, I don't see any reliability risk for the Ranger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I'm glad that at least Ford have enought balls to build Pick Up Trucks wich looks different than the usual boring Japanese stuff, like Vigo and Company. Hmm, current Ford models look exactly like generic trucks designed ten-fifteen years ago, totally indistiguishable from Mazda/Nissan/Chevrolet/Tata or Isuzu (ok, Isuzu's got unique headlights). Toyota and Mitsu still stand out in that crowd, and the new Ford in the OP is now appears to be finally going in the same direction. When Vigo, and especially Triton, were first unveiled, they were radically different from anything else we see on the roads. When Ford unveils its new trucks - its always same old, same old. Colorado looked great with its two-tiered headlights but now it also went for conventional look. Don't judge locally produced models by truck designs you used to see in the US. Dodge would look truly revolutionary here, for example. "Wildtrack" model at the show is not likely to make it into production. Similarly Mitsu had a real Dacar rally truck to preview for its Triton at a similar show a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teevee Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 The new Ranger looks good to me and I'll probably buy one. The 5 speed auto gearbox is the key factor and I wont buy a Vigo simply because it does not (1) have the 5 speed auto and (2) you can't ordinarily get a white one - both available with Ford. Also to note, the +/- 80,000 baht less for the Ford 4 door / 4 x 4 / 3 ltr / auto vs the same Vigo. Its true that the resale value of the Ranger will be less than the Vigo but I can live with that. Also, my two four year old 3 ltr Ford Escapes have been great vehicles and the Ford service at Ford (Srinakarin Rd) service has also been great.

ignis Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) The other option would be Isuzu, holds there value very well has 4 doors - white - 4x4 - Automatic Edited February 26, 2009 by ignis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKKMMM Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Now that is a lot of brass air fittings there is just about every type of air fitting that you could want. Wholesale prices too. I guess these could be used as small water pipe fitting also. I used some of the parts to make my babington wvo bu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaiChai Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Looks like a Vigo. If you can't beat them, join them... Big American gas guzzling pickups only appeal to Americans with cheap oil and no regard for the environment or the world running out of oil. The thing about a pickup is there is nothing radical under the skin, so thus just face lifting them to keep up sales makes sense. They were using steel leaf springs back in the days of horses and carts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred2007 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I am not impressed from my point of view, had to fit a tow-bar to one of them took me ages because the chassy is shorter then any other pick ups But I am not knocking the car it looks and goes ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big American gas guzzling pickups only appeal to Americans with cheap oil and no regard for the environment or the world running out of oil. No, not only Americans. I'm Swiss and personally like them too and i wouldn't buy a Pick Up truck if he doesn't have a V8. I know it's not economical, but i like the smooth ride and the deep V8 sound much better than a ratteling 4 banger diesel. Some peaple have different taste. The Pick Up Market in Thailand is to narrow. doesn't matter what you buy overhere, technical it's all the same boring thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
