But;-

= Spareparts ( services under agent huts is very f**&ing expensive..)

My biggest disappointments as follows;

1. No warning for the failure of 2 clutch pumps!!

2. Poor sound insulation.

3. Turning ratio.

4. Fuel consumption.

I wished the new Ranger had rectified the above.

However, my average 5,000KMS standard oil & filters change never cost more than RM180. Therefore, I'm highly satisfied!

*the back seat is not quite roomy although they said they have improved it.

personally, i like it; both inside and out. the interior is not a breakthtough design like the triton's or anything but it is well presented and every switch works well. impressive in the auto version is a dial for the various drive modes. this differs sharply from the second gear lever found on most other similar level pick-up trucks.

and as this is no x5 competitor, it is not even in the same category. it will be good if the postings have a little thought put in first. don't just type whatever comes to mind first. think first, compose your post and amend where necessary then only put your input.

for that money, theres alot of other choices i can make which are better. but when it comes down to the brand and "reliability" issue, people always choose toyota.

but…the Navara is still the Big Bad Mother Trucker here. No.1 in power, and price……lol.

this car is design by asians for asians.[/quote]

no wonder da design is so suck … actually there are some toyota model is designed by ASEAN DESIGNERS like unser, avanza .. these model really sux

this car is design by asians for asians.

So if you're gonna have a high speed frontal collision, it's safer to be in an Impian/Waja.

but that doesn't mean a need to destroy the overall "truck appearance", right? the sissy mitsu tiga wanton and alien actyon are good examples……

luckily we still have Ranger, Navara, and D-Max…. (just forget about that dumb hilux)[/quote]

not really that dumb if u regularly watch top gear. hilux is a tough vehicle..and a well known model in pick up market compared to navara n dmax.[/quote]

yea true…they burnt it, drown it, banged it, and dropped it from a 40 storey building…and it still worked…top gear even drove the hilux to the north pole where ppl said it would be impossible for a vehicle to get there..

mitlanevo pls think before u say[/quote]

well, how about u try all those silly Jeremy stuff again with other trucks? let's say…. a tougher Ranger, or a bold looking Navara, or even something better, like Dodge Ram and Ford F-150……

dude, think twice before replying someone's comment, don't be as dumb as a hilux….. peace~

tough vehicle? i will recommend Ranger instead of hilux….

as for TRUE pickup market, rides like Chevy, Ford and Dodge are the real dominators…….

im confident that it will rollover like othrs suv and truck….

but its more better than the chinese truck… eewwww

The Hilux is a working man kind of pick-up. It can handle job that others will find difficult. If you look around, most construction and utility companies uses Hilux whereas the other brands are used by and Tom, Dick, Harry and Jane for everyday use. The best way to describe Hilux is, it is average in look, performance and price but as a whole package, it beat all the other brands.

By the way, I heard last year that Toyota was supposed to bring in the Tundra for our local market but due to high price of fuel, they scrapped the plan. maybe now they should reconsider and let Malaysian see the true Mother of All Truck.

then again, people who buy this aren't into the looks department, or are they??

I remembered the Ranger was launched first before the Mazda. But then again, Mazda's under Ford so… yeah.

[quote comment="235020"]Those that think a truck should look like a old truck belongs to their dad's era. The modern truck should be tough & powerful YET STYLISH. Even woman drives 'trucks' nowadays![/quote]

Are u a woman who drives a truck?

I dun see why women want to own trucks unless they're in the construction industry or w/e. Even then, if they have to, just get a… a… God I hate to say this: Nautica. They can get space, they get 4WD to tackle hard terrains n they get better comfort.
