ranger v triton, now really confused!

let me know how it goes........

im aware of the 2.5t/d triton, but i was going to buy trition low klm late model 3.2t/d. not new....

keep me posted how it goes.....

the mazda are definately cheaper to buy price wise.......

cheers

The Tritons are cheaper again and have a nice long warranty! But I like the new Ranger as well and the 5 cyl 3.2 with an auto does nice 4wd burnouts on the bitumen, or so I've heard!

thanks Austin as I said before there all good reports at this stage however im a bit concerned what ol' mate says in the next post!

don't recommend a wdh?

bit of a concern when i got one ready to go.......

the ranger is on the wish list and of course she wants the wildtrack burnt orange coloured one......

happy wife, happy life someone said!!!

p.s hows the new van?
mum and dad put a deposit on one at chrissy time. 2 yr old done no work but something they were looking for apparently!!

cheers mate, catch you later.

I'm sorry but I'm just getting into 4x4 and looking at the Ranger.
But WDH ?
Please explain.

WDH: weight distribution hitch. Mainly used on trailers with heavy towball weights or where the towing vehicle is already heavily laden as it redistributes the weight far more evenly onto all 4 wheels of the towing vehicle.

No idea why Ford would recommend against them though - seems like arse covering extremis!

Look like a nice vehicle tho.

Thank you

thanks for the info dodger, i will follow it up.

The Ford Ranger already has some type of trailer control as standard

There are several videos of guys testing the Ranger last year (this year). Ford gave out 5 or 6 in a competition for testing in a range of conditions.


Makes for interesting watching. The Cairns guy found it dragged its towbar on exit but otherwise the reports were good.

Google should get you the videos.

The towbar on the BT50 is tucked up higher than the Ranger. I dont' know why Ford has gone with this big chucky version.
