Bought new Ford Ranger 3.2 litre auto 5 cylinder diesel last year , because I could, just retired , drives like a limmo , goes most places I dare with standard tyres , bloody dangerous on the freeways 130 kmh just idling with the other makes blowing black trying to get past, didn't chip it, all the chip does is it dumps more fuel into the donk, theres alway a good arguement about chipping and fuel economy, the ranger has all these computers to help with driving at the turn of a switch, yep the injectors will cost about 2500 $$$ at 100000k but the volvo made diesel owned by ford with its 5 cylinder and a lazy revving engine will last and pull 3 1/2 ton to boot , its horses for courses the V8 toyota costs $100000 mine was $60000 now a mate has the old datsun G20 or ford maverick twin built like a tank drives like a tank and is bullet proof, goes anywhere and didn't cost much , the white cloud on a cold morning start up is something to be believed bit it does have 500000 k on the clock with the only work being done so far was the injector pump and a few suspension rubbers a true off roader, my first choice was going to be a toyota series 80 but the window for repairs would be approaching, when a vehicle gets a few 100000ks on it its wear and tear in all areas not just the engine , now for the auto vs manual arguement, I used to be a manual man but the autos have proven themselves over and over , picture this in a manual, a very steep incline picking your drive line , what revs , is the gear selection right , one foot on the brake the other on the throttle and the 3rd on the clutch, with the auto drive line and throttle control is all I have to think about apart from will something break like what you see on extreme 4wd youtube videos
