So, I'm having some issues finding a place that will rent me exactly what I need. Not "or comparable vehicle." I actually need this specific vehicle. Certainly this seems doable. Is this a case of TiT: This is Thailand?

Perhaps if you mentioned what this vehicle was, someone could help you.

Perhaps. Ford Ranger, preferred. Toyota Vigo Hilux, maybe okay. Not a Mitsubishi Triton.

Nothing to do with TIT, this happens with all rental agencies all over the world.

I would say a small agency, with less to choose from, does not have any alternatives, so there you will get exactly what you want.

I've contacted the two I've found, one has told me "Ask me closer to your date of arrival, might have some pick ups available." Not exactly confidence inspiring. The other hasn't responded at all.

So I'm really looking for names here if anyone knows names.

With a Vigo accepted your chances are very, very good.

I can give you some Phuket names if you like?

Too far away, I guess I should be clearer: bangkok and east coast. And the Vigo is seriously, seriously a last resort. Really want that Ford Ranger.

Vigo has it all over a Ranger from a great height, why the must have ?

Not my choice, it's for a review. Boss wants a Ranger. Will take a Vigo. But wants a Ranger. Mine is not to question why.

Putting "Thailand rent Ford Ranger" into Google brought up this:

Though i notice it is (or was) on red plates which might be a problem.
