hi guys,
i'm planning to get a 2nd hand 4wd. mainly for city driving sometimes will be on harsh road driving too. so far i survey so many 4wd, i think hilux and triton will be out from my list due to the price is above 60k.
so i need to know all about the 3 models pro's and con's
so i need to know what are the stuff that i need to keep an eye for a 4WD cause i'm 1st timer for 4WD vehicles. is their maintenance high?
some very basic stuff i know is:
ford ranger (new model)
comes with commonrail, which have better f.c
if i not mistaken, the power of this car is kinda amazing.
frontier
not very sure anything about this model. but read some reviews over here saying that this car is good. but i want to know what sort of tech. they are using for their engine. cause if i not mistaken. commonrail is kinda basic tech. in hilux and triton..even D-Max 3.0
D-Max 2.5
only the look is 4WD, but actually is 2WD. good FC, power not sure got or not. using timing chain.
hope you guys will be able to provide as much info.
thanks in advance.

okay here is the pro and con
Ranger (latest model) -> The engine output is almost as good as frontier, but better interior, suspension and etc
Frontier -> good engine, but lousy interior, suspension hard like mad (you will need to work on it), wheel alignment very easy to go off
D-max -> I never driven 1 before
Personal analysis -> Frontier is good if you know what to replace (which will cost money), I have climbed slopes where other dare not with a Frontier, some people just love good engine, some people wants a good balance, but is your choice. Common rail or not, it is just a name to describe the diesel injector, actually all these 4x4 have the modern injector that is similar to common rail.
For 2nd hand just check the mileage, diesel engine with big mileage with poor maintanance is totally useless.
