THE BEST VAN

[10-01]

Hey guys I am seriously interested in the latest bt-50, can I have some reviews on its reliability and cost to service?

for the fully loaded price of 250k for the 2.2L it is hard not to be interested.

good price but SS csr service is d worst ...

[spirit]

I'm beating my 2016 bt50 since December off-roading and daily. No issues whatsoever works and performs great

Just tell them you dont have the time.
Make yourself a bit scarce.
Also, you can give them a contact number for an actual transport person and tell them "he is the rell man for the wuk"

Toyota Hilux - premium, reliable, good resale. Will survive the apocalypse.
Nissan Np300 Frontier - reliable, good resale, nice features, fast
Mitsubishi L200 Sportero - cheaper alternative to the big 2 above
Mazda BT-50 - big, powerful, undesirable dealer
Isuzu D-Max - all you want is a van, talk done!
Chevrolet Colorado - most powerful, techy, good dealer, lower end of resale
Ford Ranger - like Mazda but a better dealer
Volkswagen Amarok - save yourself the headache
Ssang Yong Actyon Sports - disposable
Great Wall Wingle - disposable
Go Now Troy - disposable
Mahindra Scorpio PikUp - disposable
JAC T6 - disposable
Tata Telcoline - rotting in a land fill
Peugeot 504 - rotting in a land fill

Sounds about right guys?

[ADONI]

^^Yup

[RedVEVO]

local review of the Chevy Colorado here
http://www.ttautoguide.com/the-new-and- ... -colorado/

The fully loaded LTZ comes with leather interior, lane departure assist, hill ascent and descent assist.

The fully loaded LTZ comes in fabric. Lifestyle will provide a local vendor to wrap it in leather for 15k.....

It's cheaper to do outside of Life ..

Toyota will not survive the Apocalypse, its riddled with probs, much more than the rest except for Mazda/ford which beat everything for its engine and now steering system. Its the only vehicle still failing the divergence test cause it tipping over.

are you the owner of a Toyota?
i am doing 200,000km in 6.5 years. no issues
i do try my best to have proper maintenance with genuine parts. i still get over 700km per fill up...
in fact for most vehicles once well maintained you get good service.

Would like to hear some views....

The moose test that you are probably referring to in reference to the Toyota has been sorted. Would like to know of the other problems it is riddled with... Besides the local dealership.

The Ford has constantly been updated and left the Mazda behind.

Almost all the major brands have some sort of DPF problem.

A best van for what exactly... Cause they all have shortcomings.

Dunno what worse, Toyota or grammar. . Still tryna wrap my head around what engine and steering system beating who and what...

I am doing close to 300k on my hilux and its a TCF bought from Toyota, no costly maintenance needed for these vans.
Also you cant compare the other pick up to the Toyotas at the end of the day you can still see a Toyota TAP model on the road, can you see that with the other pick ups?

$15k for a rear camera ?

Maybe it was his rear and a camera for $15 K ..

[Ted_v2]

New dmax or sportero for me. Sportero rell decent.

Dmax super rugged. Saw some in Australia 4x4 online. Madness with the traction control in the autos. Going behind some big rigs effortless.

[nick639v2]

I worry about the sportero because i see some smoking heavily with fairly recent plates

That may be the CNG/Diesel ones...they smoke extra because of both fuels at the same time..

[gastly369]

Toyota good...just don't compare it to the new model wouldn't believe the headache ..but carry on ttl only took action when dey heard sue with paperwork backing it.

[kamakazi]

Any details on the problem... Everyone is saying headache with this and problems with that, but no one giving any details.

My stereo failed after 3.5 years and it took out the front speakers with it. The original tyres that came with the van (Bridgestone 840) have abysmal grip. Everything else is working
