Ford Ranger Tipper

[Lee Winger]

Ok folks what do you think of these? I only want it to put a bit of mulch in the back and to put my spray rig on, and to tow a trailer and compressor off road, anyone here got a Ranger other than Mike?

 

Please don't say anyththing too negative as i've already ordered one...

 

Jeez I feel like such a judas not buying a jap truck, suppose they are more Mazda than ford which makes me feel a bit better........

 

Didn't order from these folk , but here the spec, I going back to where I started small mazda pick-up and little else! and thoroughly enjoying it

A freind uses one towing a decent fuel tanker out into the forest,had some gearbox/diff issues but it really cops a flogging..seems to go ok.

[Mr Ed]

I've heard nothing but good reports on them Lee, particularly fuel consumption.

Like you say, its more Jap than Ford. After all your Nissan is built in Spain....

[Mr Ed]

How much are they?

and poor build quality.......

 

If you need a 4x4 tipper that is japanese go for a toyota...

[Mr Ed]

My mate has one chris, the build quality is light years ahead of Landrover, he gets nearly 40mpg on a run.

I agree with you on the off road bit.

New or old model Chris? Mike and Steve from Prochip have the model i'm getting, 143bhp, and they both like theres..

 

I priced a Toyota regular pick-up, mega bucks!
