Spoonman Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) FYI - i put a deposit down on 2.2 WT 2 door start Jan and was told delivery in June / July, got it the other day ( this is Ford Pattaya ). Has anyone put on a set of 20" rims? I saw a nice WT with 285/65/18's on and it look nice, i was just wondering is you could squeeze on a set of 20's with keeping the same profile 65's? Ungabunga, Where did you trade in your stock rims, at Ford? Thanks. A 285x65x20 will be 100 mm more than the OEM rolling diameter and may cause clearance issues on the front, not to mention it will result in your speedo being 13.5% slow. I have 275x45x20's on mine and they are 12.5 mm under OEM rolling diameter, once they need replacing I'll be going to a 285x55x20 which will put me 18.5mm over OEM.

IMHO Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 110,000 more than I will be paying for mine.... You're paying 620K for a T6 XLT hi-rider 2.2L 6AT?!? If yes, you might want to check for blood stains and shoddy repairs.. Nope my new 3.2 at 1,040,000 not the one advertised at 1,149,000..... looks like a few quick bucks to made here if you had the foresight to order a couple at the begining Ahh, you referring to some other ad, not the one posted by mark131v - which seems a very fair price As for the other poster looking for +50,000 for an undelivered car with a promised delivery date we all know has changed 10 times already and is highly likely to blow out again, he can keep on dreaming. I suggest he reposts when his new 3.2L is actually in the dealership, and also hope that happens for him before the new Hilux, Triton and Navara come next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark131v Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Just had a look on baht and sold and the white 3.2 WT has sold already, nice lttle profit of 110,000 baht made for doing nothing other than ordering at the right time, looking good for me and I am now really glad I ordered when I did it seems unlike back in the UK where as soon as you drive out of the garage you lose money it appears in Thailand the trend is reversed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The increase over standard with the 285/55/20 is only marginal and as my rims have a different offset (+30) than OEM means there will be plenty of clearance. A 285/55/20 on a Standard (+50) offset would have clearance issues I would expect. To make sense of that my rims are 20mm further out than standard.

Only ting I spend on extras on mine is parking sensors, which I find necessary on such a large vehicle. Next will most likely be a roller shutter which all in all will be 24K bath at BoyAir Pattaya.

Are you getting the Raiton cover? I have sent a couple emails to Carryboy to ask if and when they will have one and no reply as yet. They are still showing on their website as "coming soon" Would appreciate a picture (on your truck) and your opinion of the Raiton if you go ahead with it.

I am not sure which brand it is, the picture they showed me was just a homemade one (the pix), black alu, looked good. I am still a bit uncertain if just a plastic cover is the best option, the lock looks flimsy on the shutters I seen. But yes if I go for the shutter option I will post some pictures, no prob. It would be nice to hear other poster's opinion about plastic cover versus shutter. I don't want a lid as we sometimes buy large plants for the garden.

Only ting I spend on extras on mine is parking sensors, which I find necessary on such a large vehicle. Next will most likely be a roller shutter which all in all will be 24K bath at BoyAir Pattaya. I put step plates on it and door handle protecters to protect the sills and handle areas. 800 baht for set of 4 for each at Boy Air.Pattaya. 2 daylight lights at front bumber area, 1400 baht fitted. Ranger letters on chrome at front changed to red with stickers,looks good on white car.black stripe,bonnet and roof.2700 baht. Traded 16"inch alloys in for 17 inch alloys off a hi rider,brand new,14.000 baht.Sits it up nicely. Rear load cover,Vynyl 1400 baht fitted.and front Vynyl seat covers 2000 baht. All in all looks well without a fortune spent... Have considered parking sensors,but got used to reversing it quite well. Did you put sensors already??if so how much are they?? Thanks...
