I´ll arrive in BKK on the 26th and I´m about to buy a pick-up mainly for my father-in-law. I planned around 300-350k THB for a used Hilux Tiger but a new one would be better for sure.

Does anyone know and recommend some promotion for a new pick-up below 500k for some kind of space cab.

Doesn´t have to be SUAI just a reliable one that should last for the next ten years.

Any advice appreciated...

Don't know of any below 500k. The cheapest would be a Mitsubushi. Does FIL live in BKK? If not better to buy from where family resides.

I purchased a brand new Nissan Frontier limited edition for under 500k about 6 months ago.

That was also the price with financing, Cash will get you further discounts

Shouldnt be too hard to find one under 500k

Thanks for your answers. Talked to my wife about that and it came out that she doesn like Nissan anyway so I will look for a used one.

Ford ranger single cab is also around 500,000.

Second hand Toyota Hilux Tiger, no brainer.

Or you might consider second hand Isuzu D-max instead. Isuzus hold the value somewhat better but Toyota is overall a better truck for you. Call it illogical but it's about the same as with Thai voting preferences - Thais don't necesseraly vote for what is best for them, esp. in the long term.

Isuzu holds its market position mostly due to very strong marketing and brand loyalty.

You won't go wrong with either, mind you.

Cheap new trucks for under 500k are a big compromise that offsets their "newness". And don't fall for "new" Nissan or Ford, or Mazda - they are the same generation as "old", second hand, Toyota, Isuzu, or Mitsubishi.
