nope

check them already - the 3.2 4x4 wildtrak are not real wildtrak - just the 3.2L with a wildtrak kit

[spydafrog]

That's correct Civic Minded. Did you all really expect them to provide the real deal, based on what they supplied in the previous model.

[civic minded]

easy way to know if it is an authentic wildtrak - it will have all the goodies - Tray sway control, hill decent control, backup camera, voice activated controls, dual a/c zones for driver and passanger and coolbox in the center.
M. ramparsad wildtrak have none of these. Its the Limited 4x4 3.2L with wildtrak stickers, seats and spoiler, thats it. and you pay 30K more than the firm for that with 2 years less warranty.

Thanks for clarifying ... I was relaying 2nd hand info ... Never again.

If the new D-Max come with all the features promised that might be the next 4x4 ...

^^wait for the new BT50

[bt50]

heard its already in the showroom.....gonna check it out shortly.

[civic minded]

serious? have to make a pass in southern sales to mako

[sliderz1]

who in their right mind is going to take that $300K+ pickup truck and go offroading with it?

I'm just waiting to see who gonna be the first to do it.
Then I'll go shake his hand.... and then spray down his fancy expensive truck with mud

shake hands happened Sunday gone?

i thought they would've been heavy and laggy offroad but at "Stuck inna Quarry" they performed what seem to be standard. That's good enough for me!

[Mr. Go Slow]

Any details on the mazdas @ Southern Sales yet?

Wasn't a $300+K van.
PLus, i was standing right in front of the ranger when his front bumper got ripped out of the clips on the novice hill climbs.

Could do the same with a ZD30T frontier (one of which actually made the novice hill climb, while the new rangers didn't).


Think of it man.... I was one of the biggest supporters of the new ranger. Now I find it's one of the bigger disappointments.

Any details on the mazdas @ Southern Sales yet?

no details, but I can confirm that they are here. I drove past SS and saw a workhorse model- white, with black plastic bumpers Didn't really notice any higher spec'd models though. In any event, it's kinda hard for me to get excited about new vehicles down here anymore; you read up on them, watch the videos, and then when it shows up, it turns out we end up with a 2nd or even 3rd tier model, whilst paying a redunkulous premium for it

anyway, back in Australia..........

very true - even the roll on roll off companies advertising Wildtrak Rangers and they are all fake.

Daiz way I been saying all along...
We always get the lower end of the spectrum when it comes to all the goodies on new model vehicles.

Wasn't surprised with the new ranger.
And trinis like to feel that good thing HAS to be expensive.

Wish that the Trini car industry was like the states.

$231,000 and i can't get power windows de firetruck wrong with them

[trinibajan34]

that what i said in my mind

[civic minded]

they had good sales on the rangers and bt50 over the past couple of years. once the sales start to drop then you will hear they dropping price.

So best thing we can all do now - is not buy any!

[lighthammer]

Looks even uglier in person... cheap and Chinese-made.

I don't like it... Take it away please. Do not want.

Basic version more expensive than an automatic 4x4 navara with fabric seats.

[trinibajan34]

i have the rest of prices somewhere around will post the rest of prices when i find it

[lighthammer]

sometime soon i'm gonna have to make a trip to the showrooms, and do some reviews of these new vans... I need to update my truck-review blog...

I'be been to M Rampersad today and they have brought in a new shipment of wildtrak with all the bells and whistles that you have described above. Price is 350k though.

[civic minded]
