The engines are slightly different though. The Ford's branded as a "Duratec" and I was told that it was assembled in Germany...

Makes no difference to me though...

Correction on my path....If the Ford is using common rail tech it is different. The b2500 and bt-50 carrying the same engine 2.5 turbo diesel, no upgrades unless the 3.0 is available.

If was me buying a truck, I would get a Toyota not disrepecting Mazda of Ford, But Ford is Junk. The Toyota Hilux is probably the best truck every built. Just check out the Top Gear special on it

Dion76 · Postby **Dion76** » March 4th, 2007, 9:15 pm

yea the toyota is passable but i find the engine etc it 2 noisy for me the mazda or ranger is quieter

ZanRx8 · Postby **ZanRx8** » March 4th, 2007, 9:19 pm

Just remember Ford owns Mazda so you are practically looking at the same vehicle
over here the ranger and the mazda pick up are identical just one says mazda and the other says ford.

i didnt know that...................and thinkin about it i really realise the 2007 models really look the same

ZanRx8 · Postby **ZanRx8** » March 4th, 2007, 9:26 pm

they are both crap " sorry if I disrespect anyone" they are not reliable at all. The new Toyota Tundra is probably the best truck on the market.

just check out toyota web site.

Dion76 · Postby **Dion76** » March 4th, 2007, 9:27 pm

ohk but i dont think there are any tundra's down here as yet

equipped2ripp · Postby **equipped2ripp** » March 4th, 2007, 9:31 pm

tundra is USDM

the tacoma is like the hilux

the sequoia is like the fortuner

ZanRx8 · Postby **ZanRx8** » March 4th, 2007, 9:33 pm

Sorry about that. If they do come down check them out, they pretty wicked, I am not too much of a truck guy. But here every redneck drives a truck either ford, chevy or dodge. I personally would get a Tundra sorry they are not down yet...

ZanRx8 · Postby **ZanRx8** » March 4th, 2007, 9:35 pm

The tocoma/hilux is definitly worth looking into

They must be Euro. These in the US are not built for durability!

I live near to Rock City Auto Sales and Repairs. Ford vehicles are the most seen in for repairs.

I have had no luck with Ford or Chrysler. No problems with Chevy yet.

Dion76 · Postby **Dion76** » March 4th, 2007, 10:47 pm

ohk its just that i have NEVER NEVER seen or heard a ford or mazda down for repairs down here yes i saw them goin for servicing or if a accident i might sopt one in a body work shop but not any mechanically problem

lizzy · Postby **lizzy** » March 4th, 2007, 11:03 pm

Every year since since 1983 to 2006 Ford has been recalling vehicles. Just name the problem and Ford vehicles has recalled because of it. If you all are not getting the substandard sheit they have in the US, more power to you all.

Dion76 · Postby **Dion76** » March 4th, 2007, 11:06 pm

i guess different countries get different grade/quality in veheicles but i find it weird that the US gettin the bad ones and we gettin the good ones it suppose to be the next way around ent :shock:
