So, our Bolehland mentality argument is "most powerful in Malaysia or in its class". For US consumers, this is the "kancil" size of the pick up truck. The most powerful may be 4.7L Toyota Tundra yet price start from USD 16K (rear wheel) and USD 22K (4WD). Just like some out there argue Savvy is most powerful in its class yet the reality is this French engine is old model used in Clio II that ceased production in 2005 but use by P1, sigh!!!!!!!! Look like our standard of argument is based on "lower scale". All these models are classisfied as small/compact pick up truck in USA.

Sure will sell like Hot Cake, haha~ Few years ago, Ranger was the most powerful pickup truck in Malaysia, then came the Storm, Hilux and Frontier, but the Storm and Hilux are quite under power compared to Ranger, moreover the Storm is very poor at built quality, so Frontier claimed to be the most powerful pickup truck in our country based on the torque. Now, here comes the Triton with 138hp and 314nm @ 2000rpm. But soon, the Ranger replacement model is coming, try to gain back its glory, hahahaha~ Agree, auctioncenter2u!!

I think most (not all) buyers of the modern pick up buy it not for its load carrying capability. More for the macho image and to avoid being bullied by bigger vehicles. Also good for our increasingly pot hole ridden roads and regular floods and landslides ;) Also, the fact that it is diesel makes the deal even better due to the expensive petrol prices. 4WDs, Pick-ups, SUVs make sense due to the above factors Small load area? Its oklah, just add a cover like the Ranger Extreme's and it is converted into the largest boot space. 113kw = 151.535hp.

Unfortunately, Edaran Tan Chong offers only the previous-generation Navara (known as Frontier SUT in Malaysia). Any news on whether they will import the new Navara/Frontier?
