skybluestu Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 had a look at the new ranger in sakon nakhon last week red auto and blue manual gear seats, interior looked cheap doors closed with a cheap tin sound think my vigo champ prerunner look and feel better edit: unable to upload picture http://www.facebook....=1&l=336508bb18 That's funny! If you like the beige interior of the Vigo over the modern grey of the Ranger that is your personal taste but the cheap tin sound of the doors is so wrong, they close with a solid and heavy clunk. The 4dr Ranger I am now driving was on show at our local Big C together with a Vigo Chump and new D-Max, guess which one was getting the most attention?

katabeachbum Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Isn't the 4 door hi-rider prerunner over a hundred grand more expensive though? You're not actually buying the "my Hilux is better than a Ranger" line are you? while I loved my 3 x Vigo 3,0 4x4auto 4 doors in G trim, and found them best of the lot at each purchase 2004, 2006 and 2009, I now find them dated compared to Ranger, BT50, Colorado, and even Triton on engine/auto. Each model has its peak time, Vigo is now OTT. I am sure they will be back as Toyota and BMW got engaged a few months back, I wonder if IMV2 will get BMW 3,0 diesel and ZFauto in 2014, or if this is to soon and expensive. Toyotas main reason for wanting BMW was diesel tech, BMW wanted hybridtech and inexpensive manufactoring techs from Toyota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonRiverOasis Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) as Toyota and BMW got engaged a few months back, I wonder if IMV2 will get BMW 3,0 diesel and ZFauto in 2014, or if this is to soon and expensive. Toyotas main reason for wanting BMW was diesel tech, BMW wanted hybridtech and inexpensive manufactoring techs from Toyota Highly unlikley I'm afraid. The deal with BMW is for the supply of lower-capacity (1.4L - 2.0L) diesel engines for some selected EU models only. As you're aware, Toyota have fairly low market share in EU, and they don't have any competitive low capacity diesels, so it's difficult to make a business case... The BMW deal fills a gap. BMW are great at making awesome high capacity diesels, but they're just too expensive for what Toyota needs. Toyota on the other hand, do a great job of making a low-cost higher capacity diesel, and a massive IP investment they can now build upon cheaply. I expect we'll see the 'uprated' 1KD-FTV (i.e. the 190HP/410Nm version) used in the IMV2 Hilux for the first year or two after it's release - then we'll see Toyota's next-gen diesels in a 'major minor change' sometime around 2015-2016. Either that, or Toyota have a secret engine in dev that we'll see sometime in the next 18 months Edited February 4, 2012 by MoonRiverOasis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TehBen Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Spoke to the girls at the dealership near me today concerning accessories. They weren't too sure even what came as standard on the XLT (I think I may have had a better idea than some of them), and when we asked about prices they disappeared for 30 minutes, only to return with a web page printout and a hastily drawn up table of some rough estimates. I wasn't too happy with this service so called up the Silom dealership (I thought Bangkok dealerships were likely to have a better idea of what is going on) and they said that most of the accessories are not available in Thailand right now and won't be for at least another 4 months. Though when I asked about a boot liner, he said they have them in Silom (the chachoengsao branch said they would try and find one for us, lucky me )...

stefan2519 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) From what I've been reading, no "public Wildtraks" have been delivered. I think you'll find that was a press car, that review has been out over a month. I'm translating Thai back to English which doesn't always work. There's issues with QC of certain parts, that's what the gossip is leading us to believe. Edited February 9, 2012 by stefan2519 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stefan2519 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 easy mistake, it was copied from another site. The word is, they will start shipping on some 2.2s after the 12th of this month, although they did say the same thing last month.

NanLaew Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Picture supposedly taken yesterday in Rayong. I'm not sure if they're 3.2s or 2.2s but I hope there's a black 2.2 in there somewhere! The Udon dealer who said the Aurora Blue one I wanted would be delivered in about a month just called and says he has a True Red one available today if I want it.

stefan2519 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Well, assuming the Ranger is using the 3.2 Transit's chip, I would expect that the 2.2 can also use the 2.2 Mondeo chip. Bare in mind that no one has tested it out yet, so keep us updated anyone whom does install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
