It will be interesting to see how the GWM Cannon Alpha hybrid goes. Bigger than a Ranger, 255kW and 648Nm prices at $65k on road.

If I had a Ranger wish list, it would be;
2.3 EB low-rider 4x2 Extra/Space Cab maybe offered in XL/XLT/Wildtrak trims. I'd buy one in Wildtrak trim - depending on price of course. |

I'd be calling my dealer instantly if Ford had the balls to do a 2.3 EcoBoost single cab, I so over diesel engines.

It makes ZERO sense why we still use small displacement diesel engines in LCVs or SUVs when you've got turbo unleaded engines which come on peak torque earlier, hold it way longer and cost less to maintain with more reliability - look at Ford Ecoboost product range, the things come on peak torque at 1500 RPM. Yeah there's a penalty on fuel usage because of the lower energy density of unleaded vs diesel and some efficiency because of the lower compression ratio - however you can take out some of the sting with hybrids. The only thing diesel should be used for is medium and heavy commercial vehicles, boats/ships and that sort of thing where they're actually worked like a diesel engine wants, and you know you have torque figures that are four figures and start at off idle. You* using it to drive to the shops or do the school run isn't what a diesel engine wants. I think this is where the US has it right is that their LCV and passenger vehicle customers hate diesel engines and rightfully so, especially the shit we've had since Euro IV which was the start of the downfall. *You as in generalisation of the average Thailand Special owner. Add to my list 16" interceptors, don't want alloy wheels for what I do to my ute. Last edited by Franco Cozzo; 05-05-2024 at 11:39 PM. |

I'd argue all modern diesels are garbage.
EGR, DPF, adblue have made them all a ticking time bomb. And with all that they still pollute more particulates and NOx than an old petrol engine.

What happened to Prado, I don’t see it on the sales chart. I’m just curious because Everest was supposed to be going after it…. Never mind, I see new model dropping next month… Last edited by jpd80; 06-05-2024 at 01:31 PM. |

I used to enjoy fanging the old Transit 2.4 TD, felt like they had heaps of poke. (375nm verson)

Think you can still get the 2.4 petrol in the Triton, or has the new model discontinued it?

The specs on that 2.4L unleaded engine are woeful - 94KW/194NM That's less torque than my 20 year old unleaded Mazda B2600, which its engine was designed in the 1980s. |

Absolute bizzaro-world out there these days, used Triton povvo pack with the unleaded engine is just under $30K for 5sp manual unleaded job with 20,000km on the clock.
New workmate Hilux povvo pack is $33K DA, up from $26K DA. Remember when the PX Ranger was introduced at $19,990 or something for the povvo pack unleaded job |

How's the petrol Nissan patrol doing against the diesel rivals?
I'm sure the anti diesel crowd will come up with a list of reasons why it's not outselling landcruiser, Everest etc. Sure, it's pricey, but apparently people are only buying diesel because there's no other option.

It's only made for here, and doesn't get the updated LHD interior.
