snoop1130 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Ford’s Ranger pickup hits record sales By The Nation The Ford Ranger pickup truck has achieved record sales in the first half of 2017, underscoring its popularity in the highly competitive mid-size pickup truck segment across Asia Pacific. Retail sales of the Ranger during the first six months rose more than 21 per cent year on year to a record 63,525 vehicles, Ford Motor Company revealed on Wednesday. Australia leads Ranger sales volumes in Asia Pacific, with sales for the first half of the year rising almost 19 per cent to a record 21,638 vehicles, maintaining Ford’s leadership position in the 4x4 truck segment. In New Zealand, Ranger continues to be the number one best-selling vehicle overall, pulling further away from the pack with sales in the first half of 2017 growing 24 per cent to the highest retail sales volume of 4,980 vehicles. Thailand saw the fastest sales growth for the Ranger with a 51-per-cent jump over the previous year with 20,230 vehicles sold in the first half of 2017, giving it a market share of 11.7 per cent. Growth has been driven in large part by demand across all Ranger variants.

Kiwiken Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I think the Ranger is slightly better improvement on the BT50 but they are both good Trucks. I am just not a fan of Diesels though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inThailand Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) The Ford Ranger is the best looking in and out truck on the market, thats why sales are booming, and the new Revo is a disaster, few can be seen on the road.

It took Toyota Hilux about 20 years to out sell Isuzu DMax by pricing it lower. Now almost 15 years later after resting on their lorals the Ford Ranger is making an impact on their market share.

Reliability regarding a work horse I would say out weighs looks... But saying that, I think Toyota has moved away from what a truck should look like where as Ford has stayed with a Tonka Toy look....Suppose it's what's an individual wants...

And then there's those simply gagging to place a deposit to make sure they have the first Mercedes Benz pickup in the moobahn and ended up being wait-listed for a Navara lookalike.

inThailand Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Here in Phuket the white Wildtrak is quite popular with Thais and Farangs. I do not know one farang who has bought a Revo, but many who bought the Ranger normally the WT. Among farangs it seems the Ranger is the preferred choice over Revo or the D-Max. Personally, I like the Vigo over the Revo. Even in Isaan the locals are buying the Ranger. Years ago they would have never considered one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, we only hear a snip-it of info of Ford probs here and not from Thai folk. If it transpires there are faults showing up nationwide with the locals then for sure they will head back to the trusted reliability that they know about, Toyota and Isuzu...

cornishcarlos Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 We also don't hear Thai folks problems with Isuzu and Toyota here... Don't tell me that they don't have problems :) Thais don't buy for reliability, they buy whatever everyone else is buying. Hence they are now buying Fords... Its just trends... It will be another one in 5 yrs time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be another one in 5 yrs time I don't agree with that..Being here quite a while and knowing many folk over the years l have kept my ears open to stuff. One thing I know for certain is the locals do not like spending unnecessary cash, that's why they stuck to Isuzu and Toyota for a rides longevity with little hassle. Just wait till the Ranger gets older and a back street guy spends to long time changing the oil, or puts mineral oil in it....Fun and games ahead....

cornishcarlos Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Locals where you are maybe... From what I have seen, they will put themselves in big debt just to be seen in the newest "ride"... The newest cool "ride" being the Ranger :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our lads bird has a 2.2 Ranger, he drove it to our place, first thing he said was..."It's a 2.2 ".. I reckon Ford will stock up on 3.2 badges to save a lot of faces....
