culicine Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Good morning XLT! Is it just me, or does the ranger look good in virtually all colours? This gold looks nice - common on other cars, but not seen it often on the ranger. The gun metal blue seems popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Good morning XLT! Is it just me, or does the ranger look good in virtually all colours? This gold looks nice - common on other cars, but not seen it often on the ranger. The gun metal blue seems popular. Yeah I'm really happy with the colour. At first not to sure what to expect but it turned out really nice. Under the carport it's rather grey / brown ish and in the sun it's more sparkly. Don't really like the gold on other models e.g. vigo and dmax but I think it makes the ranger looks tough (if doesn't look tough enough already). I'm the third person in the province with this colour on the Ranger but the Ford Sales rep. said that many people changed their order to sparkling gold the last months.

CDNinKS Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I have to agree, that gold color is very nice. In the one shot it appears almost silver/grey....all depending on the light hitting it I guess. I ordered white as besides being cooler it does not tend to show the dust as bad a darker colors, but if a gold one shows up I would change for that I think. Good choice Gideon.

JaiLai Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Can someone pls tell me the difference between 'Open cab 2.2L Hi-Rider XLT' and 'Open cab 2.2L Hi-Rider Wildtrack'. As far as i can make out from the website the only difference is the additional options, chasis / engine / dimensions the same. ( oh and of course the price difference ). I'd ask in the showroom but i'd imagine there's a pretty good chance the sales people will know pretty much nothing! Better info on here. Thanks.

Spoonman Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Correct, the difference is non mechanical options (seats/steering wheel/Grille/No rear Bumper/Headlights/Taillights/Cruise Control/Bluetooth/USB/2 extra speakers etc etc) everything else (Chassis/engine/driveline) is the same. Note the 2.2 Wildtrak does not get many of the 3.2 wildtrak features. Edited January 1, 2013 by Spoonman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The website says it does but the picture brings up a double cab?? Any idea what the waiting time is on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) yes 2.2 open cab wildtrak is suicide door, as for waiting time I have no idea. I really would like Ford to do the Open Cab Wildtrak in 3.2/ manual with all the fruit, I'll trade mine tomorrow.

Looking at the gallery pictures on the Ford site as well as googled Wildtrak images all show a black bumper......

Just went back thru this thread and post #55 shows a white WT ( what I have on order) with a black bumper. At least I think it shows that as the pic is not very good quality.

Pikey Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Thanks J-L. I ordered March 20th and received it November 30th. 2.2 litre 6AT. I'm in Chiang Mai and ordered it from the main dealer here. Cheers, Pikey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDNinKS Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Ok, so 8 months.......I ordered in June and they are saying I should see it by mid Jan so that would be 7 months. Let's see if that happens. Enjoy your ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Pikey. Thanks for the info, don't suppose the guy mentioned whether a MT would be a shorter OR longer lead time? I will go into showroom tomorrow once they're open again and ask and also make sure prices reflect what are currently on website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikey Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 No idea about the MT but FYI, I paid 869,000 for mine but I think there's been a price increase since then. I know Ford made a "price promise" to fulfill delayed orders at the original price but don't know when the cut off for that was. If it's of any interest to anyone, I put 330k down from selling my D-Max and got the rest at 2.65% finance over 4 years which works out at 13k/month - bargain! ;-) Cheers, Pikey.

Went into Ford showroom ( Pattaya ) this morning and put a 5K deposit down for a 2.2L open cab wildtrack. Price is 809K, lead time 6-7 months. They don't offer many freebies with it and could not really be bothered hunting about at other branches to compare the difference, if any? Staff know almost nothing about the vehicle and basically just want to sit about on their phones rather than make some commission......No vehicle available to test drive but this also does not surprise me, driven one already so it does not really matter. There were about 10 Rangers out the back waiting to be collected, various models and colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for the sake of discussion, did you do the full maths? Over the whole duration of the finance, your cost of credit amounts to 57.134 THB. That is more like 10 % of the original amount financed (don't forget the interest are computed on the original amount and then paid during the whole duration of the credit). In total, given the elements you provide, your full cost for the Ranger should be around 624.000 THB (on top of the 330.000 already paid as down payment). Total cost of acquisition: 954.000 THB For a car worth originally 869.000 THB. I guess that sometimes we do not really have a choice, when financing a car. I remember my own dealer trying to get me to finance over 3 yrs instead of 2... LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naboo Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I work out Pikey's finance to be 3.94% over 4 years at a cost of 85,000B on a 539,000B loan. At 2.65% he should be paying 12,419 a month. Unless he's bought 30,000B of upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
