QUOTE(Mikahl @ Sep 25 2012, 10:35 AM) Hmm.., I tot Hilux comes with Sports Bar dy? I'm assuming you mean the bar on top and not the front (which some people oso refer to as sports bar). There are few types of Sports Bar available, but bear in mind they are mostly just for aesthetics only and not actual Roll Bars. Many aftermarket bars are not single-piece bars so even you install, don't strap heavy stuff onto it, your bar may rip off (someone ripped it before strapping motorbike onto the sports bar). Wow really thanks for the information. So the sports bar is for decoration purpose only? Ow, I thought it has useful feature where I can tie my goods to it. Is there any difference between Toyota and OEM bars? I was quoted RM 1,100 for the price of OEM bar from mudah.my.As for where to get, shop around a bit. A lot of shops claim to have the Toyota OEM bars, and if they do, it may cost around RM 800 - 1,000. If you dont have Bedliner, you may want to add this in too before you put sports bar. Bedliner shd cost around RM700-900. ORE - Kelvin (Batu Caves), TOP-UP - Raymond (Sunway Dataran Mentari), Overlander - Sophia (SS2). Make sure bargain kow kow first ya. I will visit those shops that you mentioned on your post. Again, thanks |

Major about $800. If the bt-50 share a similar characteristic with the Ford, then the bt50 need 9 litre of EO.Thanks for info! |

QUOTE(epie @ Sep 29 2012, 05:37 PM) i think it will be sales tax 10% + gst 4% then GST is a replacement for SST.damn i'm hoping they reduce roadtax for green diesel engine so many economist predict gst implementation and subsidy cut after election Once GST is implemented, there will be no sales or service tax. QUOTE(Mikahl @ Sep 29 2012, 07:08 PM) Pedal locks range between RM350 to RM500. They can be linked to ignition system to prevent starting when locked. Wow, thanks a lot. You really have been helpful. Can also consider xtra immobilizer, or even GPS trackker. You can check out car forums that have dedicated section on Security to weigh your options. Some popular brands include Viper and Clifford. May cost around RM1-2k depending on range and features. And once you install, don't go round telling ppl whr, how and what you installed. Keep it to yourself. It's meant to be that way. |

I wonder if installing reverse camera or tint not from Toyota, will it void the warranty?

QUOTE(SpikeTwo @ Oct 13 2012, 11:37 PM) i read many problems regarding the new ranger. rear sensor haywire after contact with water (rain, car wash...), jerking problem/sudden lost of power, bluetooth not working... Can always check out their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/FordRangerMYany of you met this problem? i decided not to get the ranger now as we have limited choices and lousy customer support when I asked them when we have better options. I think these are the first few batches of a new model, sure bound to have problem. Give Ford some time to iron out all these and you'll have a good car. Personally, I think Triton is not bad too |

QUOTE(kingchin @ Oct 16 2012, 01:09 PM) Yep, Triton is nice but didn't wanna pay 2.5 rtax. Fell for the look and the interior of the BT. Much cheaper than Triton for the stuff that comes with it and in its class. BT-50 is the most value for money truck currently, if you don't mind the looks.Else I think Triton is better buy And if you want the best, add 2-3k from Triton's price and get Colorado. Best equipped, most powerful and most luxurious interior in the pick up segment. Downside is unknown reliability and of course, resale value. |

QUOTE(rellik_yzarc @ Oct 19 2012, 04:09 PM) Hi bros, Get a Hilux.I have little knowledge of 4x4s PU Trucks but I have been reading reviews on the web on the trucks (Hilux, Navara, Triton, etc) I am looking to buy my first one. Please recommend me a truck. I don't mind waiting for new models too. Most important criteria: 1. Easy handling (because I am a beginner 4x4 driver) 2. Easy to park 3. Easy maintenance 4. Easy to upgrade (bull bars, lid, suspensions, etc - to make it look like monster) 5. Not too expensive road tax 6. Resale value This post has been edited by Icehart: Oct 19 2012, 07:33 PM |

QUOTE(rellik_yzarc @ Oct 22 2012, 04:41 PM) Bros and sifus, Good choice! Triton is not bad too. Well, if there is a Triton and Hilux park side by side of course Hilux will get stolen first but let's not forget Triton is quite hot too. You might want to install additional security features on your pick-up. Here's a 108 pages thread dedicated to Triton only: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1671049I am considering the Triton VGT Euro because of its short bed length. 1,505 (Triton VGT) versus 1,325 (Triton VGT Euro). That's a 180mm (slighly more than 1/2 feet) difference. Basically a shorter Triton VGT with the same tightest-in-class turning radius. Criterias fulfilled (bold) from below list: 1. Easy handling (because I am a beginner 4x4 driver) 2. Easy to park 3. Easy maintenance 4. Easy to upgrade (bull bars, lid, suspensions, etc - to make it look like monster) 5. Not too expensive road tax 6. Resale value Few things I need your and the other sifus' opinion on: 1. Maintenance cost and spare part availability 2. Likelihood of being a target like the Hilux 4. Anything else I should consider before getting a Triton VGT Euro. FYI my main things to upgrade on the VGT Euro would be: 1. Front, back bumpers, and engine protector 2. Bigger tires (suspension lift and bigger mud guards per JPJ) 3. Variable absorbers 4. Gear locks for security 5. A lid. Appreciate any thoughts on this. Thanks! Have fun reading. |

QUOTE(Mikahl @ Nov 27 2017, 06:49 PM) Regular Svc - around RM 300+ depending on oil used. My truck needs approx. 5.5 litres of engine oil. You service SC or outside?Major Svc (every 40k km) - around RM 800+ Fuel - 70 litres diesel takes me around 550km, you do the math. Tank capacity is 76 litres. As a comparison, my buddy's Ranger 2.2 can go 750+ km on 70 litres. *Bonus info: road tax per year RM 1,680 for 3.0 truck. |
