mileage eh, roughly 500-600kms for 1 full tank @ 8km/litre of diesel. i dont know if this is good or bad.. i just putter along 60-80kmh. still adjusting to the car height n feels. just barely a month my dad bought it. stayed at the middle or left lane in mrr2.

the catch 22 situation eh. spend money on fixing or car monthly payment. guess your working and if time is a luxury, just maintain the ranger as long it only give you minor problems. if its too much, a newer car with less problems will lessen the headache hehe

it's only a 62 litre tank, so 8km/litre only will get you 496 km's. I don't think there's a low-fuel warning light so don't wait for it before you refuel. I usually refill when it's 1/4 tank and that only brings me about 350~400km. Mileage is about 7~8km/litre which really sucks.

I prefer the new hilux but it's such a pain to parallel park especially when the car is as big as the parking lot~ I wish they would increase the power a bit..

dang, i google'd online and the result told me the ranger has a tank capacity of 70litres... and from the trip meter it indicated 500++ km.. guess i drove till using the reserve fuel capacity.. thanx mate for telling that the ranger has no fuel warning indicator. will heed your advice to fill the tank once it reaches 1/4 tank indicator.

7-8km/litre is bad is it for the ranger? i thought it was great as the family wira only gave 40-50km for RM10 worth of petrol by considering the wira is 1500cc and the ranger is 2500cc. nearly the same amount of km/litres..

just now saw the new hilux at mrr2 in pandan indah. white colour, full black tint n big ass rims. this is the first time i saw a white hilux n it is sweet bro.. btw does the hilux sold in m'sia come in white? that the only white hilux i ever saw in KL.

my dad does not like hilux as it is too high. bis ass car? haha pun intended bro..

wat new LUX? vigo??? dunno tat they r in here already also...
maybe normal LUX modified....

yup, the newest hilux@vigo.. seriously its white in colour n heavily tinted..

can get really good mileage if you drive 70~80kmh all the way. Probably 10km/litre also can. But I can't drive that slow on the highway. Sleepy My dad's hilux averages about 11km/litre but they say the hilux injectors are very expensive to replace if spoilt.

Hilux seems to have more colours these days. I saw a dark blue hilux. Looks really I am waiting to see if they will have an updated model.

went to klia last weekend. my mileage is 5.76km/litre @ rm50 bux of diesel gone for the 180km journey. i know why u say so sleepy, i thunder down the roads to klia at 130-150kmh. 8okmh the highway is not a pretty sight. grey grey until my eyes also grey wana sleep.

nice to speed up if the road a well paved. guess this is contributed by the silverstone tyres. i guess the rubber compound for the tyres are hard.

love the hilux after i saw the white one. damn cun. cant do much about it. i only will be graduating end of nex year. maybe after then can buy my own transport.

5.76km/litre is very very bad. Something must be wrong somewhere. However, if you do 130-150, lagi minum diesel. Keep an eye on the temperature, I knew of someone who drove his Ranger at 150km all the way, and the engine blew up. 4x4's are not designed to be driven fast.

I'm on Bridgestone AT tyres. I used to have Silverstone HT tyres but the grip wasn't as good especially when the road was wet.

hmm bad FC, really bad...

Everyone's saying Triton looks nice but after 3 problematic mitsu's..I've completely given up on the brand of cars. I'm now shopping around for a new Hilux but no power =(

about tyres :
I find Bridgestones AT's a good all-rounder and have been using them since. If you don't do offroad and can afford it, Michelin's are good. MT tyres will be really noisy on-road and will wear out pretty fast. The only HT tyres I've had were the original Sime tyres that came with the car and the Silverstone HT (775 i think..) which are okay except when it rained. Any water on the road and the car would go into a skidding frenzy. (my ranger no ABS)

yeah, do agree too... but later in march i'll try out silverstone's as the bought a triton from me n will fit it with their tyre for their dealer convention in genting... can try max later

can anyone give me a insurance company that will issue insurance for private registered 4X4, mine is a ford ranger without access fee (the amount that you'll have to fork out in case you are doing own damage claim).

So far PanGlobal and Kurnia charge inurance with the latter being cheaper. let me know please....thanks
