MoonRiverOasis Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Do they have the same Aircon output as the MU7.My friend recons his old single cab is colder than his MU. ?. There's not even a single bolt common between this and a MU-7 2.8 obviously unrealiable or thirsty at 200hp or both, but kept people talking about it, job done Actually, it was retuned to deliver more torque - compared to the initial pre-production numbers HP is down 20 points, but torque is up 40Nm, so now equalling the 3.2L Ford 5cyl (both 470Nm).

That amount of torque is massive for the Thai market, only needed if you are pulling 3 tonne plus. I'm sure there is other reasons behind it but still very good figures, I think it'll come down to fuel consumption in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortuner has front and rear A/C, so must obviously have greater capacity than Vigo. Don't know anything about MU-7. The looks alone do enough damage for me, but that's only my opinion. There's lots on the road, so someone likes them. I don't see the connection between this and the new Colorado though. Am I missing something here?

Am I missing something here? my experience owning 3 vigo 4 door and 3 tuna, vigo cools down much faster. 2 tunas black tho, yea yeah i know I hate black cars to, but they have been with other drivers since delivery, thus their color choise. Havent checked partsnumber for compressor, but assume they have same compressor, but additional rear ac inside unit. Pipes for ac to compressor, like 5 meters long, are not insualted, so lots of cooling lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonRiverOasis Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) That amount of torque is massive for the Thai market, only needed if you are pulling 3 tonne plus. Spoken like a true grandfather J/K, heh I'm sure there is other reasons behind it but still very good figures, I think it'll come down to fuel consumption in the end. Well all of these decsions are deliberate, and Ford have been headlining the 470Nm spec in the Thai media.. But yes, fuel efficiency was highly likely to have been a major factor... On a side note, they've only divulged pricing for a very small amount of models so far (none of the 2.8L and only half of the 2.5L range), so pricing info has to wait until the embargos lift. In the menatime, here's some further details. AT is only available with the 2.8L engine, and will be available in the extracab variant (this is rare). The full line-up contains 20 models, with badging carrying over from the previous range (ie.. LS, LS1, LT, LTZ and LT Z71). The top model LT-Z71 (available in extracab, doublecab and 2wd/4wd) is the only grade that will feature traction control, stability control, "corner braking control" (note: this is NOT torque vectoring - it's just a fancy name for 4-channel ABS IMHO), but in a bizzare twist will only feature dual front airbags.. Most prices have risen by ~40K Baht over the outgoing models. Dimensions (4x4 4-door): 5250mm (L) x 1882mm (W) x 1781mm (H) Wheelbase: 3095mm Tray Dimensions are very sketchy - the only number revealed so far is that the 4-door tray will be 1484mm long - extrpolate the rest from the D-Max specs for now I guess.

I don't need one, but really like the look of it. I've been waiting to see in what form they're all released, but at this stage 3.2 Wildtrak 4WD A/T looks the business to me compared with the Chevy & Isuzu. Surely won't be a Champ. I was kinda hoping the Chevy would hit the spot, but alas, I think GM may have missed the boat (again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was kinda hoping the Chevy would hit the spot, but alas, I think GM may have missed the boat (again). Looks could have swayed me.. i.e. had the top model actually had the integrated sidesteps, alloy rear bumper, funky taillamp cluster, DRL's and rollbar from the show truck, I'd take one.. I'd have probably still replaced the other truck with a Ford though, just to mitigate any form of buyer's remorse Edited October 5, 2011 by MoonRiverOasis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonRiverOasis Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) Some details and pics of the Colorado My link The prices for the 2.5 That covers only 7 of the 21 varants that are launching, and out those 7, only 4 of them are clear on what actual model they align to.. I don't know where they've come from (Chev have been tight lipped on pricing), but "รุ่นมาตรฐาน" (standard version) is not a Colorado model variant, heh. Hopefully someone out there has a good inside contact and these are reliable On a side note, It's highly unusual you'd have a media launch without revealing prices, so I think it's very clear that they're waiting for Ford's pricing to be revealed first Edited October 6, 2011 by MoonRiverOasis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveromagnino Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 sorry Chevvy, The Ford dealer up the road have finally contacted me with a special deal; to be honest the Ford seems so good specification wise it is hard to pass up, however its the looks and level of interior that have it for me over any of the other options, even though I anticipate it will be over 1m baht for the deal to go through. As I am trading in to get the new ranger, would be curious (ok ok this is a GM thread) on any advice to make that portion of the process easier. Always been a cash buyer in the past (including watching my aunt buy a BMW new 3 series...in cash after they looked down on her) so not sure how the whole trade in bit happens.

wandrinstar Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Do they all have those tiny black Alloys,and Paint Roller Stripes, the single cab and the top one look nice IMO. but the 2 outside look shitty in white with red writing and red rings round the door handles and Mini Rims. Is the first gear on the Auto a Crawler gear, like the M.T. I'm surprised they don't alter the 1st gear ratio, for those who use them as a Car. The single cab looks a fair price at 537.

captainkev Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I went and looked at the spacecab 2.8l Colorado at my local dealer the other day and thought it looked great, especially the front end/size and LTZ trim package.
