Opinions on 2012/13 hilux or ranger?

[YoGi_93]

Im looking at getting a new truck hopefully one of the new ranger or hilux models with low mileage. My navara is definatly on the way out! £1500 in repairs in the last two months is a step too far so im taking the plunge. I like the look of the new ranger but it seems impossible to get my hands on one in the flesh has anyone had any proper experience with them?

i think its a supercab version of that or a double cab hl3 hilux, but ive heard they struggle even with an empty load bed? so my idea of having an auto one would be a terrible idea expecially considering I lug a grinder around on the trailer most days.

all opinions welcome

Theres quite a back log even now for the basic new rangers, i was quoted around £500+ a month on lease but would have to wait 6months!! The wildtrak is 2yrs around here. Or so the guy says

Flipping heck! That's a long waiting list!! But it'd be worth it... Ford Rangers, the best trucks around

Are the new Rangers still re-badged Mazda?

I hired a hilux for 3 months in 2002 while I waited for the fantastic new Nissan Navara. What a pile of crap that was should have got a mk 5 hilux straight off will never wait for a new model again especially a Ford or Nissan.

I actually own a Mazda B2500 but not sure if the new ones are... I haven't heard that they are but not sure.
