ryaldinhio 4,589 Posted December 20, 2024 Report Share Posted December 20, 2024 Had some issues with the old ranger previously and warranty was about to expire so chopped her in for the new 3.0v6. Read good things about this engine same as VW Amarok? Ppl love em or hate em and everyone has a mates mate who has a horror story but that's same with every car on the road. Personally I like a Ford and a heated front screen! Anyway, VAT back, corporate tax dodge AND a practical vehicle rolled into one so ticks all the boxes for what I need....time will tell If its decent. 19 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Had to go new for company/tax reasons. Rather put my money in a nice truck than give it to HMRC. If I could have any truck back to last forever I would have my old isuzu trooper 3.1d. Absolute beast of a motor and was mechanically bullet proof. Unfortunately chasis snapped in 2 places!!! Loved that truck, everyone just moved out the way 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Qbgrey 4,091 Posted December 22, 2024 Report Share Posted December 22, 2024 Nice motor that, I was going to get another hilux or Isuzu but my last new hilux got pretty much wreaked in a year, shocking state it was. Bought a 2009 crew cab 110 defender pick up last month them poxy things will increase in value im thinking 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goly 215 Posted December 22, 2024 Report Share Posted December 22, 2024 I've always found Fords nice to drive, my first ever mother was a Focus, had plenty of Ford work vans, as you say, the heated windscreen is worth its weight in gold. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
