    Yeah, but in reality they are no better. Different 'usual things' that keep cropping up, not a lot of coin in it when it comes to the expensive mechanical repairs and things like injector cost. Not as comfortable to drive, definitely no where near as much room in cab as the Ranger (very unimpressed with the mate's new hybrid hilux) and to top it off not quite in the same league as a tow vehicle. Appears a lot more thirsty too which is just another cost at the end of the day. On the plus side the hilux appears to have much more capable suspension fitted from the factory, this is one thing that Ford has not got right with the Ranger. Fine when the vehicle is brand new and unloaded, but take it to max axle weight and then expect it to handle nicely and not thump the bump stops and prepare to be sorely disappointed. Kudos to Toyota for this detail to be fair.
