The ranger we get from ANSA Mc AL comes from south africa. Maska and M Rampersad get their rangers from thailand.

Many parts are similar including the interior but the engine is different. The top spec isuzu is a 3.0 engine but the top spec colarado is a 2.8 which has a higher output than the isuzu. I am surprised the sales guy says the engine is the same.

True. The bt 50 has more features across the 2.2 and 3.2 range and cost less than the ranger. The only question is can you look at this smiley face pick up truck everyday. To each his own.

The mazda bt 50 is on sale for 2 reasons: 1) worldwide sales of the bt 50 is very low as compared to its ford twin. Just take a look at the # rangers in comparison to the bt 50 on our road 2) the current bt 50 is receiving a facelift this year. They are trying to fix that smiley face in the front an...

I looked at the 3.0 dmax last year and was told that service is every 50000kms. In this day of technology its hard to believe that we still service a new vehicle every 5000kms. Keep in mind I drive south to north and back everyday. This means that servicing is every 2 months. Other than that the dma...

I think the firm (Ford) sells the original Motocraft battery with a 3 yrs warranty. Not too sure of the price.

I had my 2nd service today (13,500kms) this van is 5 months old and loving every day with it. Basic service was done and no complaints thus far. driving from south to POS and back every day I consistently get 8L/100kms I would love to get my hands on a 3.2 wildtrak seeing that ANSA is bringing these...

So I have had my 2.2 ranger for 3 months now and I have clocked (8200kms). Daily driven from San Fdo to POS and back. At my 1st service (5000kms) amsoil engine oil was used and a software upgrade was done. this made a world of difference. The ranger feels a lot more powerful and fuel economy initial...

price range from $275-$350

thanks sweeks. I went on sat at Laughlin and got the same one you recommended. the battery says mtce free but they recommend I let them check it every 3 months. cranking amps - 720 price- $805 brand - rocket the original battery is also a Rocket and this gave me 23 months service and is still going ...

kriticalkase

sweeks, how much you paid for the rocket?

kriticalkase

yes heavy T is needed for the 2.2 and 3.2

Guys, I had my sportage service today. Mileage is 57000kms. Service was routine with oil/filters. I thought the disc pads would have been changed since the original set was replaced at 30000kms. The disc pads have approx. 40% left. I guess they might be replaced at my next service. So far I have zer...

Guys, I was looking for a new diesel pickup and had narrowed it down to either the 2014 Isuzu d max or the 2014 T6 ranger. I drove both vehicles and decided on the ranger. I got my 1st Ford range about 2 weeks ago. Its the 2.2 6speed auto. I have used this as a daily driven vehicle from san fdo to P...

Guys,

Anyone ever changed out the stock/factory cd/radio unit from the new (2012/13/14) ranger and installed an aftermarket unit with Bluetooth and USB?

kriticalkase

Thanks for the feedback Havoc.

I read that in the UK there is a new 2.5 twin turbo engine which delivers more power than the 3.0.

too bad we are not getting this as yet. I really wish this dmax was a bit more powerful.

the 4x2 auto is $240 & the 4x4 is $280

kriticalkase

sweeks, apart from what you listed there are no other differences except a 4x4 sticker on the rear fenders.

Hope to hear some more reviews soon.

kriticalkase

sweeks, apart from what you listed there are no differences.

the 4x4 has a 4x4 sticker on the rear fender other than that all the features are the same.

kriticalkase

ek4ever, you should be a salesman for the dmax.

I wish if the sales rep knew all that.

the engines are as bulletproof as u can get.

Guys, I did a test drive on the 3.0 auto 4x2 today. I took her from the savannah to over the lady young. The first thing I noticed was reduction in power from a stand still take off as compared to a nav or a 3.2 sportero. I know these dmax are work horses but I just expected a lil more pep in the en...

guys, is the engine in the present 2014 3.0 dmax the same as the older model (the one which sounded like a tractor)

14lover, do you have the original air filter set up or a cone filter in the car? I once had a b15 with a cone filter and fuel consumption similar to your situation. Guys, my y11 reach 80,500kms and I changed the air flow sensor (5 pin) just as a preventative measure. Performance is the same as I got...

QG, I do not have a CVT. I have a biglight Y11 (regular 4 speed tranny) I would suggest that you ensure your injectors are properly cleaned not by using a $30 product u throw into the tank. My injectors were taken out one by one and you would be amazed to see how dirty they can be. btw, my car is do...

I recently purchased an e-throttle wingroad (big light). I did a full tune up (injectors, plugs, belts, all fluids). With a combination of hway (south to POS) and city driving I am getting approx. 360kms on 1/2 tank of super. I consistently get this week after week. I think the key to this is not go...

Guys, I need your opinion. I am getting a wagon and the options are: 1) Y11 (F/used biglight model) Mileage: 120,000kms Engine: QG15 e throttle 2) Y12 (local from Neal & Massey - NOT CVT) Mileage: 80000kms Engine: HR15 I have previous experience with the QG engine and know what to expect. I need...

I have car search installed in 3 vehicles and the service is quite good. One of the vehicles was stolen and car search did recover, the car was being driven on the road at the time of the recovery. The car search recovery team do not hesitate to use force in recovering the car. I think GPS is good b...

I agree that 15-17kms is a bit disappointing. I changed my disc pads on the sportage at 30k (front) & 35k(rear) and that includes hway driving. My 2012 cerato had 35k when I sold it and I never changed disc pads. I think the OEM pads are now are made from a more softer material. I changed pads a...
