funcat Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 The oil change should cause no problem,if done by the professional within the describe time frame (10 min).... There is not to many Wildtak 3.2's on the roads yet,but they're highly noticeable between all the 'grey' Isuzu's and...the other no-fun trucks...get what you like(!),or what your Thai wife tells you to get... Thought the 2.2 and 3.2 looked the same. Are they not ? I can spot the difference....you probably not... What is it. ? The side markings and....wheels ...

IMHO Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 What is it. ? The side markings and....wheels ... And the 2.2 Looks more upmarket with it's chrome trims/grille, vs the black poverty looking ones on the 3.2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Pecker Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 3.2 Also has a rear view cam located by the bed handle lever, but you have to look closely....several other options inside the car as well. I didn't know at first that the 2.2 Wildtrak and the 3.2 Wildtrak were not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmymaimee Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 9,000 kms on my 3.2l Wildtrak so far. No problems whatsoever. Waited 9 months from Pattaya Ford. No lag, fast truck, good mileage. 65 litres for 850 kms on the highway. Very comfortable to drive, good air con, and comes standard with dark tinted windows so no one can see in. Only thing I would change would be to have an option to buy an independent rear suspension and better shocks all around, the same as the Ford Raptor has. Something that gives a bit more confidence off road and less chatter on highway bumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

affen02 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Thx Thailoht and BkkJames. You guys are correct on both accounts. My wife keeps telling me this thing about how only Isuzus and Toyotas have good resale value and how everything else sucks. That can change like the wind in Thailand, just like how I see more Thais buying cars with automatic transmissions these days compared to years. I saw a brand new white Wildtrak this morning...3.2 L. I was like...WOW! I would have paid for it on the spot, but the dealer told me it was already ordered and paid for by a customer. I was told a one month waiting period, OR..get this...20,000 baht to him and he could have one for me by tomorrow or any day of the week via his associate in Bangkok. Not sure what to think about that. My wife seems to be more concerned about appearance than anything else, particularly when it comes to the Isuzu which in her opinion and mine does look nicer inside. That along with the new Superdaylight model and red-orange chilli paint do make it an eye catcher. Although they are both 4x4, the Isuzu still doesn't look that high off the ground. Anyone else get that impression? I mean when you look and any other make of 4x4 they definitely look like a 4x4. I'm still interested in this oil changing thing with the Wildtrak. Anyone out there that can elaborate more on this? Also I was quoted 1,109,000 baht for the Wildtrak which includes everything, tax, insurance, etc.. Thaioloht. Here is a link to Sygic: (hope this is okay to link by admin) http://www.sygic.com/en The oil change should cause no problem,if done by the professional within the describe time frame (10 min)....

affen02 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 As i was when i bought my High Ranger 3 liter in 2007, i also thought i this time i would be alone on the roads in my area, after getting my 2014 Wildtrack 3,2, boy was i wrong. The sale in my area, Surin has exploded, can not drive for a trip to 7-11 without seeing one. Ford has done a killing with this latest models, and it is a long time ago since i was asked by guys nearly on a daily basis, to have a look inside my car, questions about price and so on. Feeling like a rock star lol. As for resale price, i beg to differ, ill give u an answer in about two years when i will be getting the new model 3,2 , hopefully with a lot of new gismos. I also down at Koh Chang had the plesure of trying out the new hill assist system, no pedals, and it works perfect, wanted to take off up into the wilderness right there and then.

Popular Post bkkjames Posted April 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2014 Speaking of the 3.2 WT, on my way home last night I enjoyed some racing with one (chili orange) on the expressway. Traffic was light towards Dao Kanong and he came charging up behind me. At about 90kmh we were level in terms of speed with him behind me. I gunned it, turbo kicked in and must say my lil 2.5 held it's own and he didn't catch me in a km or so and speeds up to 150-160kmh until he turned off to take the Chaing Wattana exit and I kept going towards the bridge. Sometimes you just need to have to have some fun...and blow out the carbon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
