Clicking on the link gave me .... Ute comparison review: Toyota Hilux v Ford Ranger v Mazda BT-50 v Mitsubishi Triton .................. another Ford winner

What they say about the Triton, so don't crow too loudly.

"In fact, it's also the highest tech with an aluminium block for reduced weight (The Triton is the only one of these four to weigh in under two tonnes) and it blitzes the field for fuel economy with an official figure of 7.6 litres per 100km, anything from 0.9 to 1.6 litres per 100km better than the rest."

Love one of the replies in the link.....

' In short the private buyer is fast waking up to the fact Toyota offer outdated under done and over priced ugly vehicles '

yep, the one who drives around in his boyfriends convertible. SMH.

Lets be honest ... it's good that it's fuel efficent ...pity about the other bits though.

[phutoie2]

why did they not include the Navara in that test, not a recent model?. Fine truck IMHO.

Really? This is as bad as the criticism gets, and you're looking at $55,000 for the Ford compared to $47,000 for the Triton, a difference of $8000 or over 200,000 baht.

"Our complaints include a lack of flair in the interior and the smallest tray of the lot. The ride can also feel a little pattery on some surfaces, but that's splitting hairs because in isolation, the Triton is about as comfortable as these vehicles get".

Because no tradie in Aus would buy one as the coil sprung rear is rubbish for a work truck.

These are all show ponies not work trucks.

why is that ?

[IMHO]

As for the Mitsubishi Triton - they are, like always, competing on price. It's very good value for money, and a competent all-rounder, but you don't win comparison tests with a brief like that.

[Lampang2]

OP: none.

[IMHO]

So, I'm putting my money where my mouth is, again

Just booked a Wildtrak to replace my almost 7yo D-Max, that I rarely see, and almost never drive. Maybe that will change now

Just got a Ford Ranger XLT Hi-Rider. Really happy with it.

I love new rides...That smell is a wow.......But, when the smell has gone and perhaps stuff happens, that smell has long been forgotten...

It was 2nd hand, actually. But still smells OK. haha

Ah come one. Toyota isn't the only reliable brand on the market.

To me the most important thing in LOS, I say again, IN LOS, is dealership backup if you get a problem...Toyota and Isuzu has that sewn up. I have been reading here for years and important stuff sticks.

Ha ha . What?

Where dealership ? Auuuu Toyita dealershop who can fixed priblem where are you hide from me?

Please show me WHERE???

I have bean in 3!!!! Dealer.. even not have near normal service. Cant fixed easy problem.

You just talk but reality Toyta in LOS its worse service.

I ve in more when 10 country , have many different brand car. But what i get from Toyota in Thailand even i do not know how to say about this is.

So no need say shirt.

Show me servuce from Toyota??

I can bet about this is.

[chiang mai]

Poster Ardon's or whatever experience doesn't match any of mine in the many years I've been driving Toyota's from Supra's to Vigo's, they've always been brilliant, perhaps it's a personality thing or similar, Ardons I mean, dunno,

[SydneyGuy]

You still enjoying the Ranger?

I just ordered a new Double Cab 4X2 Hi Rider XLT 2.2/Auto with a few extras thrown in at our local Ford dealer.

[ardokano]

USA Ford or GM to me were the masters of the street for ordinary folk, BUT, the Japs have made a big dent in that, I wonder why...?

If you're expecting the answer is reliability, you won't be right. The actual answer is complex, but it's a mix of product packaging, pricing, marketing, and strategy

There are books on the subject if you really want to understand the history of the industry.

The Japs got it right, what ever the reason, and still are.....Yes/No........?

Please.

Toyota its not all Japan.

Even Thailand dealer i cant say its real toyota.

Can You tell me Mitsu its go right when gambling in stock marcket and do bot do car?
