Welcome to your new Mazuzu Ute (in 2019)!

quite like mine ,and dunno how they claim to not selling cause they seem very popular especially compared to the isuzu or colorado

Here are May 2016, 4x4 ute sales figures ....

Hilux - 2736 vehicles (up 26% from previous month)

Ranger - 2617 vehicles (up 36% from previous month)

Navara - 1501 vehicles (up 90% from previous month)

Colorado - 1279 vehicles (down 4% from previous month)

Triton - 1259 vehicles (down 44% from previous month)

D-Max - 929 vehicles (down 2% from previous month)

BT-50 - 804 vehicles (up 13% from previous month)

Amarok - 751 vehicles (up 1% from previous month)

Landcruiser - 652 vehicles (up 2% from previous month)

Foton Tunland - 60 vehicles (no sales % given)

Nissan Patrol - 25 vehicles (down 34% from previous month)

Dodge Ram 2500 & 3500 - 21 vehicles (no sales % given)

SsangYong Actyon - 1 vehicle (!)

So, it appears the revamped styling of the facelifted BT-50 has done something for their sales - while the D-Max is lagging, and in need of a makeover.

Meantimes, Hilux and Ranger are ruling in a major way, in the sales numbers.

I personally don't think there's too much wrong with the BT-50 - it has just been the dreadful front end styling that put people off buying them.
The new model is an improvement - but compared to the Ranger, the Ranger wins hands-down with its stylish looks.

Cheers, Ron.

wowRanger is getting pretty close to the Hilux ,think your right body shape - has a lot to do with it(in more way then one ),guess Hilux was always gonna lead when it can go off a cliff ,roll around the surf all night and drive it away the next morning.

The Ranger had a nice Euro style, sleek looks, not many bumps and bulges and no funny looking lights. The newest Ranger looks a bit more American which I don't like so much. A bit squarer and trucky looking like a RAM or F truck. All the Jap cars have bumps and bulges everywhere with crappy headlights and tail lights.....they can't help themselves. The only option is to hide the car behind accessories like bullbars and rear wheel carriers.

Hi

I always find these kind of stats deceptive if read the wrong way. Sure, Hilux and Ranger are popular (5,353 total sales)...but most people (7,282) have chosen (for one reason or another) to buy something else.

No doubt good for manufacturers to sell more cars than others but also good to see competition and a wide variety of options for the buyers. The single SsangYong Actyon sold must have been a demo on sale :)

I heard it was the designers mother who bought it... :-)
