dagling Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Consider buying a new Ford Ranger Wildtrak 3.2 and wonder if anyone knows if there is a new model / upgrade in the near future? Maybe silly to buy now and something new comes in near future;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaseTheBass Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The latest version is only about 6 months old, so maybe in 18 months to 2 years. It looks like a new range of diesel engines will be the major upgrade along with (possibly ) Sync3 infotainment system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSJ Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 There's a new model coming called "Crazytraks" for people who are crazy enough to risk their money on a Flord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMHO Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The Ford Ranger underwent a significant minor change in July 2015, with new front end styling, all new interior, revised suspension, better noise control and revised engines. The top-spec 3.2L 6AT 4x4 Wildtrak underwent a further update in late December 2015, adding several new active safety features - the rest of the range remains unchanged though. The next significant update is expected in 2018 (most probably H2), with the major difference being the introduction of Ford's new Panther series of engines.

canthai55 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Adaptive cruise control Lane Keeping assist Forward collision mitigation Driver alert system Bit off topic - but all those extras - if they malfunction will the system just stop working or does the system go into limp mode until the offender is repaired ? Most seem to be designed for drivers who do not pay close enough attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMHO Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Adaptive cruise control Lane Keeping assist Forward collision mitigation Driver alert system Bit off topic - but all those extras - if they malfunction will the system just stop working or does the system go into limp mode until the offender is repaired ? Most seem to be designed for drivers who do not pay close enough attention. Adaptive cruise control only works when you turn it on. Lean Keeping Assist is defeatable (thankfully), and automatically shuts off when there's no data. Not my favorite feature though... it doesn't understand that sometimes you need to veer into another lane to avoid a motorbike... Forward collision mitigation can be set to warning only, or brake pre-charge only modes (i.e. no active braking) if desired. Driver alert system is only a warning chime and popup on the right display - so no too intrusive if it gets it wrong - it's primarily looking for normal corrective steering and accelerator inputs - so not prone to false alarms. In all cases, if there's not enough data (fouled radar, sensors or camera) it will warn you that the feature is unavailable, but everything else is business as usual.

IMHO Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Let's knock this on the head before the Toyota fans get too excited 2.2L Rangers cost a fixed price of 28,570 Baht (inc VAT) to service up to (and including) 105,000KM in the SSP program. 3.2L models cost 30,620 Baht Most other brands are going to cost you around 2,700 - 3,000 Baht every 10,000KM if using synthetic oil, with the 40/80,000 services costing between 5-7K Baht when brake/transmission/coolant/fuel and air filters are also changed.

JoeW Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 FYI: first service cost for a Ford Ranger should be 3,410 THB (WT 3.2 4x4) with the biggest junk being synthetic oil at 2,200 THB. Everest (3.2L 4x4) should be 3,655 THB. Therefore, he probably agreed to change something apart from the regular service. Also Ford actually changes the AC filter in the car. Mitsubishi doesn't. if you buy the AC filter for your a triton or PJS you pay an additional 750 THB. So if we really want to compare cost of service then we should compare. Ford Engine Oil: 2,200 THB + 570 THB - Synthetic Oil (Engine + Filter + Pan) Ford Oil Filter: 245 THB Oil Washer Plug: 35 THB Odour Filter: 300 THB Balancing Weight for your tires: 60 THB (They won't charge if they don't change). Mitsubishi Engine Oil: 1,700 THB + 300 THB - Synthetic Oil (Engine + filter + Pan) Mitsubishi Oil Filter: 220 THB Oil Washer Plug: 17 THB Odour Filter: 750 THB (Cost from Mitsubishi Distribution Website) Additional service. Balancing Weight: ? Ford has a much more comprehensive periodic service than Mitsubishi does. That's why there is such a difference in cost. If you don't tell Mitsubishi to change your odour filter, then they won't. Same goes for Ford, tell them you don't want to change your odour filter and they won't. It's that simple. If your happy to drive with semi-synthetic oil than that's ok. All I can say is that the profit they make from semi-synthetic or synthetic stays at 30%. Ford just prefers to use synthetic because of their 15,000 KM intervals or 9 Months (shorter if heavy usage). I am a Ford fanboy? Not really never owned one, will own one soon. Previous cars are PJS, Fortuner, Freelander, etc in Thailand. We just need to compare apples with apples and that's it. Does anyone force you to do your service with a dealer? No. Are you worried in keeping your warranty? Maybe, but warranty in Thailand generally doesn't mean so much. Is Ford quality worse than Mitsubishi? Check your local Mitsubishi dealer and ask why they are panicking about deliveries now with the new PJS. (recall, JATCO, steering column). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first service on 2.2L models costs 3,125 Baht inc VAT, 3.2L models cost 3,410 inc VAT. 25% cheaper if you take advantage of the SSP promotion right now.

IMHO Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 The first service on my Triton was 1200 baht. The first service on your Triton was at 1,000KM though, and was only an oil change, tightening bolts, and removing the slag from the oil pan plug... next service at 10,000KM. The first service for Ford's is at 15,000KM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
