why dont wait for the new ford ranger to be uut? it will eat d rest alive... even navara

By the time Ford brings the model in, Triton, Navara and Hilux would have new FL or updates. Ford is very slow in everything... Focus TDCi also outgoing model in UK.

with 330nm of torque, the ford xlt is decent enough. only problem was the spartan like cabin spare parts availability.


a rare isuzu vehicross for sale.

updates but not new models leyh... facelift only?

ranger new model lor... i heard thailand this summer... 4 months time.. they are already dumping their old models, worth the wait i think

new ranger 375 nm leh... for the 2.2.... not good enough can get 3.2 with 470nm .... hahhaa

errr... ranger made in thailand leh... can import parts from there right?

400nm ady can pull u out of the earth liao, i cant imagine how does 470nm feel

perhaps, with the shorter redline nature of diesel engine and 470nm of torque, it will allow for gear change at 1k rpm
again, not sure how reliable it will be when running on our diesel grade...

our new hyundai sime darby - SANTA fe fe 2.2'R-engine' diesel = 197ps, 442 Nm. wonder hyundai going to produce a new pickup truck.....hehe

Santa Fe has great specs with incredible price. Unfortunately, it is Korean and don't expect good after sales support or good resale value.

Best to buy as used (1 to 2 years) than new.

hello mates

recently got the Vector tuning kit from victor87
at 1st i was alittle look down on the kit of not providing much result
but then after installing it and giving it a test run with victor
now it feels like a petrol car , body and pedal feels very light and power keep on pushing in each gear you enters

awesome kit victor!!! Thanks as well as the installation guidance and knowledge infos. =P

Thanks bro for the feedback !! Mind you thats on setting 4 only.. Hehe... Same here, at first i thought these kit are just like another volt stabiliser thingy, but after fitting one... We all know the outcome ! Hehe

Try this... after Vector.

1. At traffic lights, shift gear to L.
2. Use left foot on brake.
3. Accelerate to 2500 rpm.
4. When u feel the truck want to move, release left foot slowly and feel the rear wheel spin with white smoke.
5. Few seconds later, release left foot and let truck go until 4500 rpm before shifting back to D.

All those Ah Beng Wiralution will stay away from u like a plague.

Hahahaha.. Tried that during the TTs with the Midnight Club...

Can make donuts and wheel spinning easily with trucks !

Talk-the-torque !

tested in thailand leh... same grade of oil

the engine same as the sonata cabs in sg er?

kinda hard to 'touge' with d-max 3.0. too much of bodyroll
a lighter wheels of 17" (oz 4wd) and lower suspension + harder spring will be fine.
anyone can recommend a good tire size upgrade for d-max?

I am looking to rent the front and rear bumpers of Ford Ranger XLT(SZCW) Year 2001 with Yellow Signal light.

Puspakom failed the inspection due to ARB Bumpers.

If you know anyone who is willing to rent these bumpers for 3-4 days. Please let me know

Thanks in advance

Hello guys!

New to this subforum, i actually don't used 4x4 at the moment, but it on the way.

Have deposited 3K for a 2011 Vigo (Hilux). Its been 3 weeks and still no news. Everything has go smoothly including loan and so on.

Just need to ask here, How do you guys look at this Vigo? Pro and contras if possible.

IMO, underpowered for a 2.5 model. If 3.0, better but pay more road tax.

I noticed that actually. Especially when going uphill. Very significant. But i will used it for long range travel.

The 4x4 i plan to buy is actually 2.5G (M). Anyone know how much exactly its road tax gona be? And maintenance as well well.

rm1.6k/year... i think

maintenance very dependent on usage lor...
