A Pick-up Truck For Mixed Use

If buying a vw - think this think that - sure will not buy it, due to higher car price, and expensive parts and also 2nd hand value sure not as good as jap cars, those people bought only after test drive it just because they like it. But I foresee 2nd value will be better for vw, as many will wait for the 2nd cars when it is affordable for them. see a lots of vw flooding the roads nowadays.

wher is vw amarok? dont sel in bolehland

It looks like my search has come to an end. I've been looking around at other options like the BT-50, Triton VTG, Navara, Exora, Innova, even the Suzuki Swift but I'll be booking the Ford Ranger next week. I was hoping to get a good deal on one but it looks like it's just too popular.

Hey I test driven it. Damn Mazdsa 2.2 auto still not here! I know we can try it over the border but is the spec the same? Bt50 tyres are 17 inch but Ford giving only 16 inch here. In other country is different again.
Our Ford sales adviser Mrs Woo said Mazda not the same. Is this true? Also like to know if we put 17 inch tyre on the Ranger, will it make it a tad slower to move or??

I got the impression from Mazda that they were completely disinterested in selling the BT-50 in Malaysia. They launched the BT-50 in September and still can't confirm the cost of the services, no test drive unit for the 2.2 auto, no reviews in the Malaysian auto media. It seems like the vehicle they don't care about. How can you have enough confidence to buy it if they can't tell you how much a service costs?

sad day.

Hahaha

I am an owner of BT50 for 1 month now @ 5.5k KM, current fuel consumption shown by the meter is 9.7l/100km which is about right.

So far only issue is sometimes during cold start, can hear "mouse creaking" noise from dashboard which will be gone after some driving, low end pick up is not as good but acceptable.

Why I bought BT50, because its cheaper than Ranger, more features than Ranger especially Traction Control, I have seen it blinking when I accidentally went into deep puddle of water, rev too much after going through bump and went into corner abit too fast in Karak highway. And I dont care about resale value.

Did 180km/h on Taiping stretch before the AES without problem and really stable even at that kind of speed. Steering is really precise on Karak highway, in muddy area surprisingly gives good feedback on where your tyres are and feeling the traction of your tyres. Comfort wise in normal driving is abit bumpy(stiff), comparing to a 3.0 Dmax, Dmax gives your a floating sensation going over bump but BT50 gives your ass a nice thump.

Best part of all this is, long distance driving is so much better in a 4x4 with cruise control.

1k Service = RM100 per 4 litre oil x2 + 1 litre oil RM 39 (Shell Helix) + RM70 for oil filter(saw Ford is cheaper,maybe source from Ford next service at 11k)

well saying, BT50 model many advantege over all other

Yours is Mazda bt50 2.2 auto transmission?
