Ford ranger has a bit of issues with oil pumps, issues with aftermarket components like decks and alarms. And stuff like axles. Won't be my first choice. The Hilux is a good vehicle but I find it's unappealing. Np300 really delivers. Proper well proven engines. Gearbox ect. Your choice but my 1c

In this current day, a boat will be a better buy considering what happened to persons new hilux and new ranger in the recent floods.

Having owned a previous ranger and due to parts availability I will lean towards something different such as hilux. Few ppl I know well who bought hilux in the past just did routine service and that went until the 100k and then sold.

Np 300 engine is remodeled yd25tt, known issues still exist with this, go with the hilux or take a look at the VW Amarok, you'll be pleasantly surprised

Got a TDS 4x2 ranger gearbox (2017)
No issues, it gets the job done however I find the 2.2 diesel turbo is a bit slow.Just my opinion.

My friend got the 2017 4x2 hilux gearbox (2017) and the thing is a brute.it runs very fast and he maintains it himself

I would advise you to pick up a used Hilux.
They don't break and you pick up a good vechicle for under showroom price

The 2019 hilux looking good. The fully loaded going for around 350k
A fully loaded ranger wildtrak costing 360k on special right now.
Ideally I would prefer the hilux but I'll test drive both and the np300 in the new year
