Ranger sells more than Hilux!

Post by Rebel 4x4 »

Glad nie 'n Ford fan nie, maar dis skokkend......amper moeilik om te glo. Ekt 'n gevoel Toyota moet die Hilux produksie datum vorentoe bring, voordat die "norm" om 'n Ranger te koop die inding is......

my een kolega het laas maand n Ranger gekoop.

Ander kolega kyk nou ERNSTIG na die Ranger !


Clubcab met die agter deure wat kan oop maak - soos die Hilux in NAMIBIE, maar NIE hier beskikbaar nie.

nog 5k by en jy kry n bench seat en safety belts agter in die clubcab !!



nee wat hoog tyd dat iemand Toyota aanvat. Dis tyd dat Toyota hul arogansie los en begin luister wat die verbruiker soek - anders gaan die verbruiker dit maar kry met n Frot badge .....

Ook nie 'n ford/mazda fan nie. Ek glo dit ook net so moeilik. Ek het weer op die radio gehoor dat die Hilux nog steeds vêr bo die res is.

Wag net tot volgende jaar wanneer ford hul bussie/taxi na SA toe bring...

Dan gaan daai 3.2's hoog of die "affirmative shopping" lys wees... :mocking:

Miskien sal hul dan ons Toyota's uitlos!! :angry2:

NAAMSA wys die totale verkope per voertuig tioe, soos totale Hilux verkope. Die artikel verwys die Dubbelkajuit verkope.....Hilux het dalk meer verkope omdat munisipaleteite goeie afslag kry by Toyota, en dis single cabs.....Hilux loop net voor om daai rede. Die dubbelkajuit mark is waarna jy moet kyk. Want Jan allerman koop n dubbelkajuit vir sy familie. So die artikel is korrek, jyt net na die totale verkope gekyk.

having this year bought my 1st toyota vehicle, and being very impressed

having a Ford DC 4x4 at home, and having wondered if I should not look at a Rolo/Tuna :laugh2: or lux

believe that having both brands at home leaves me neutral and open minded

so let me end by saying the new Ranger looks fringing great!! every time we sea one the wife says that looks great!!

and their specks look just a impressive!! Ford/Mazda TD have built up a good reputation

if I was in the position where I had to decide, it would most probably be the Ford!!!

that 3.2 has more torque the my V8 Jeep
the 2.2 also looks great

Toyota Hilux (vigo shape) is nou al 3 of 4 keer ge-recall since 2005 en die Ford Ranger is nog net een keer ge-recall in 2003. (dis nou hier in die UK) Hilux word in SA gebou nie seker waar die Ford vandaan kom nie. Hieronder is die laaste recall van die Hilux.

Search results (1–1 of 1)
Recall Ref: R/2012/060

Exact Model: Hilux

Description:
POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL

VIN: AHTFZ29G#09065386 to AHTFZ29G#09075957

Build Date: 10 aug 2011 to 26 nov 2011
Numbers: 821

Defect: It is possible that the wrong specification differential unit (Crown Wheel & Pinion) has been installed. Not only can this give an incorrect speedometer reading, but if four wheel drive is selected on hard surface/road with low friction, then directional control of the vehicle can be affected.

Action: Recall all affected vehicles and inspect differential, if found to be the incorrect specification, then replace with the correct specification differential.

We can admit that the ford does look great. From what I have heard regarding sales is that mining company BHP billaton now only buys ford bakkies due to the safety rating of 5 stars on fords. On Fords they do not have to put on those big roll over protections anymore as well.

Roll over protection is a frame that gets bolt onto the bin of the bakkie that stand out over the roof to protect the occupants inside the vehicle. Some guy who had an idea of safety and now scoops a lot of money. In some mines a (ROP) roll over protection gets installed inside the cab. This is a frame that gets bolted inside the cab to prevent cab folding onto the occupants. You see this in racing cars but in some mines all bakkies must have it installed.

Here in my valley it is known as an "Aap Kas"
It's also compulsory for all vechiles i.e. contractors included.
The contractor erecting fences told me 2 years ago it cost him R30K to get it fitted.

Ja Wian in your area you see the ROP's everyday. My personal opinion regarding the ROP's is just a money making scheme. I have heard so many rumours about the outside ROP's and how it is actually unsafe but ja it is just my opinion. :naah:

I also think that the Ford is very good looking, and I predicted this. Looking at their pricing too, why wouldn't people?
There's plenty money out there and many people just can't help but keep up with the Jones's.

For me though, it stays a lot of money, and to go buy any new'ish vehicle this just doesn't compute. I couldn't see myself paying 3,4,5k a month on a car... Even if I could afford it. The best vehicle in the world is one which is paid for!

To me the world just feels right when I'm in my old Hilux. And that's why I drive my bakkie, finish en klaar.

Ja, hulle het nou 2 maande meer DC's verkoop, en dit is 'n goeie voertuig.

Ford T6 defekte op die oomblik: Ratkaste, kajuitlaste wat kraak.
Die auto ratkaste het hulself nou in so 'n paar gevalle soos handgranate gedra en soos 'n bom gewerk.

Frikkie, hier in goeie ou ZA het die vorige 2 Rangers 'n deeglike dosis van recalls gehad. Ratkaste, koppelaars en inspuitingstelsels om maar so paar te noem.

Frikkie dit is nie te sê as die Ford minder recalls het hy is noodwendig beter nie, dalk steur Ford hulle net minder aan probleme as wat Toyota doen. Dit is nie regtig 'n maatstaf nie.

Die nuwe Ranger lyk impressive en daai 3.2 se krag lyk aanloklik, maar dit bly maar 'n Ford.

Die kajuit laste weet ek is oor die skaap tralies wat die bak twist. Vertel meer oor die rstkas ding.... Ek kan Ford dubbelkajuit kry vir fabrieks prys -15%,(familie in Ford en VW bedryf - net sad dis nie Toyota nie)en oorweeg sterk om n Ford te koop....

Meer as dit. Nuwe bakkies wat geen kappies of tralies op het nie, breek op die laste van die kajuit in die geutlas. Die posisie is bo die agtervenster op die passasierskant van die kajuit.

Die automatiese ratkaste blaas hulle doppe uitmekaar uit. Spring onder las terwyl so paar manne gesleep het van 3de of 4de terug na 1ste.


PS. Frikkie, nie alle vervaardigers se recall proses is dieselfde nie. Ek het vir 'n vervaardiger gewerk wat 'n recall 'n "service bulletin" genoem het. By ons was 'n Recall 'n "vat hom terug, en gee 'n ander een".
