Skipper77....here's an Aussie Ford Ranger 3.0 D

[Kiwi Phil]

This is my new Ford Ranger XLT Scipper77....Australian style.
It has the 3 L Diesel turbo, auto and 4x4.
Was going to put up a photo back in the Great Wall discussion but they hadn't come to fit the canopy at that stage.
I am very happy with it........goes like a shower......great economy..... pulls well .....and emissions are as clean as.
Only short coming....no leather interior....and i like leather....easy to keep clean. Will have to fit lambskin covers.
I won't use it for work....just my own personal use.

If you haven't decided to go diesel yet, then I can't recommend it enough.

The wifes Mazda is up for replacement soon, and looks like she may go for a D version in something like the Sante Fe Elite with the 2.2L Diesel.
The cousin went to change his Toyota Prado Grande and they stuffed him around, so he went down the road and on the spur of the moment got this same Sante Fe.
Reckons Toyota can get stuffed now....think he said there was over $20k between the 2, but couldn't justify it.
Did reckon the imitation woodgrain was not brilliant but says he can live with that.

Cheers
Phillip

sharp looking rig.

I spent a few weeks in Poland and saw all the vehicles that could be had with the T.D. Sadly NONE in the US. I would gladly have a small T.D. in my ranger if it was available.

Sadly in North America the diesel has not cought on in the smaller cars/trucks like the rest of the world has. Here its mostly available in the full size pickups.

Good looking truck.
