As far as service, I have experience at Ford, Toyota, Isuzu and Nissan dealers. Nissan is the cheapest in my experience. A tent dealer also told me the Nissan parts are cheaper than the others.

Annual cost of a Ford Ranger Open Cab

 

Oil/Fluids Service - 1500B *2 = 3000B

Major Service 8000B/2 years = 4000B (only on cars over 4 years old)

Insurance 2+ (inc compulsory) = 7000B/year

Tax = 1000B/year

Tyres (replace with Firestone every 4 years) @ 10000B/4years = 2500B/year

 

Ongoing costs excluding fuel total - 17500B/year or 1500B/month

 

Fuel (personal usage) = 2000B/month

Depreciation (620,000B new price, expected sale price of 170,000B @ 12 years) = 450,000B

 

Total cost over 12 years including fuel and depreciation = 450,000+(2000*144)+(17500*12) = 948,000B

 

Annual cost all in = 79,000B

Monthly cost all in = 6600B

No need. I have dual zone climate control (as in actual climate control, not the mislabled Toyota version that some members apparently have).

cheap insurance, for the first few years covered by warranty, you would have to have the service carried out by Ford, surely 1,500 baht is a low figure, you are thinking that nothing will go wrong not even a battery, set of wipers, brake pads/shoes etc let alone something big.

Wipers are free, just go to a parking lot and exchange your old ones with the car next to you.

You get new wipers free when you buy new tyres. Just ask.

Insurance is 2+ from AXA, includes breakdown. Excellent package with cover up to 350,000B. Got the first year free on 1st class, 2nd year paid 12,000B for 1st class with AXA, 2+ since.

 

Battery, brake pads etc covered under major service. A well maintained truck won't have anything major go wrong inside 12 years.

 

Initial services I had done at Ford. I had vouchers for free servicing, had to pay for consumables. Usually 1700B, once 3500B. Later oil changes with Castrol Magnatec have been 1300B including filter. Buy 4 get 1 free as well, so over 12 years, averaging 1500B/6 months for minor services is about right.

Hey Naboo

 

great work up on lifetime costs, like that.

 

Indeed if maintained you can be ok, depending on the type of miles you put on. Where do you go for service now post warranty? I paid a hefty premium I believe at the dealer and going forward will look for a price pont more song the lines of what you are quoting.

 

cheers

For oil changes, I use a centre in a Shell station nearby. An oil change is an oil change, just choose a good oil.

 

For major services, I use Pro Auto in Chiang Mai (independent service centre, forum sponsor). Has a great reputation, the owner worked in repairs in the USA. Finding a good independent mechanic is the key, dealerships are pricey and usually staffed by unsupervised, inexperienced mechanics. Your national chains like b-quick are cheaper, but offer limited services and again, staffed by inexperienced mechanics. An independent lives on his reputation.

12 years?   Wow, I can only dream... 

My next truck is a Toyota here in LOS's. They would have to drug me, beat me, threaten my family. Then I would think about it for a while before  I would buy another Ford.  LOL

 

The Ford's salesman in LOS does exactly that, or he'll tell his brother to get the job done. Be careful.
