2007 model

i looking to buy one of these

both the ERACT same....your deciding factor will be price...I think that the southernsales are a lil more pricey than mc earneny.
I think!

yeh the ranger supposed to be cheaper

I would prefer to buy the Mazda. Made in Japan as opposed to the Ranger which is made in Thailand. Thats for the 2005/2006 model eh, I'm not sure on the 2007.

Fully loaded ranger is 9K more than fully loaded mazda.

any1 kno the price of a fully loaded ranger an mazda??

184000 fully loaded

and mc enearney parts more expensive for those vans too

That dont sound too correct.
The 2007 models are in stock and i got the price from ford for the xlt fully loaded as 240k Fully loaded

yeah the automatic one would be the most expensive

Which are you looking at?

Remember Ford has the new 3.0TDs and automatic too!

Note however, that the Fords do NOT come with running board, the tray bars, etc. Because, according to their marketing: they want YOU to be the one to customize your ride so it doesn't look like everyone elses.

I didn't speak in depth with the Southern Sales rep... not as long as the Ford Rep though...

bleedingfreak, is not that they want the customer to be the one to customize it or anything... is just that the van comes from the factory without any accessories and they don't want to add cost to the van which they know they won't get back... but i think they would sell the original accessories for them though.

this is that the quote from southern sales had
Bt50 4X4 C/C higrade pick up turbo intercooler,dual air bag,abs,16'' alloy rims,power windows,powermirrors, power steering, fender moulding,running board, am/fm radio single cd player, rear glass defogger, gas lid open $183,200.13

there is also the crew cab sdx pick up

$169306.98

was the point of having a 4x4 turbo pick up tha automatic? can any1 find sense in dis cuz i dont

^^^ the point is to be able to bling cuz SUV's are the in thing on the road now and go where cars cannot without having to mash clutch all day

the new Ranger looks better than the Mazda BT-50, but i still prefer MAZDA

the new ranger comes w suicidal doors

pimptacular, because it is being demanded.

Prefer the Mazda 2006 model actually.

the ford, even though it is the same ting, better after sales service than southern sales

Both vehicles are built of the same engine/chassis/suspension. I personally prefer the Mazda... (esp if it's out of Japan).

The AnsaMcal including Mc Enearney (spelling?) Motors group forces you to service your vehicle with them or else you void the warranty.

The current diesel engines for both vehicles are known for cosuming engine oil. Besides that, the Mazda seems to be cheaper (fully loaded manual 4x4)

Yeah that's what I meant... And yes they said they will have original Ford accessories for the trucks... Of course, you'll pay the Ford prices ent?

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...

Freak.... You could be right, then again it could be marketing.....I ain't no Mazda/Ford expert....

they still ugly

Nah man... they ain't ugly.... they just take sometime to get use to.

Equipped are you waiting for the new Frontier?

I saw a BT-50 on the highway this morning, I kinda prefer the looks of the Ranger.

Fellas one thing to consider, with the current version on the B2500 and Ranger, the engine oil consumption is alot. Not sure if this was corrected with the new versions.

I just found this site. Australia 4x4 award. Check it out guys.
