There a great truck but you should also look at the VW Amrok they are both good value for money and both capable vehicles.

It's the best selling vehicle in New Zealand so everyone has one over here. I had a look at the new hilux 4x4 today. Not a bad looking car. |

I think if you went over to Mr Bell at Bell Auto Services in York with a Ford Ranger, he'd be able to breathe quite a lot more life into it.

I can only comment about the 3.2 pick up we have at work, not been the most reliable, better to drive than previous models, but we have had gearbox issues and a the engine sounds awful, but it also had an engine issue, was rebuilt or replaces, I am convinced something is wrong with it, it is rough as *@@*......

Those going down the Ranger, Anorak path..... Is this because you have your own business and these vehicles generate some VAT benefit? Or just because you like the vehicle?

They have just changed some of the vat rules relating to commercial vehicles bought for business use.

Congrats on your ranger it looks very smart. If you don't mind I have just a couple of questions, How do you find the seats for comfort , Is there much engine noise, and how do you find the headlights at night compared to the FF cos I can't see to good at night.

Driver seat is electric fore/aft, up down and rake. There is a manual lumbar support (in or out) so not as adjustable as the FF's but I don't find it uncomfortable.
