I've had a Ford Ranger for a year now and will never own another Ford due to the total bunch of dumb fukks working and running both the Pattaya and Chonburi dealerships.

Toyota are years ahead of them.

No really. I like the truck just can't believe how useless the staff at Ford are.

I heard that they have just dropped the price of the 3.2 by about 200k, anyone else heard this?

Fords look and drive great until you have a warranty problem with them.
Ford wildtrak with transmission problem, ten visits to phuket ford dealer over 11 months to fix it.
once they had the vehicle for 6 days, other times for 5 days and 3 days twice.
waited up to 2 weeks for ford motor company to supply the parts, usually about 5 days not the 24 hour part delivery they claim.
seems they have fixed the problem with the transmission now but i would never buy another ford in Thailand
A friend bought a new Fiesta and had auto transmission problems with it which ford had problems fixing and kept in thier workshop for up to 2 weeks before fixing the problem.
Also one of her staff members used the car and had a minor accident, the repair took 3 days but ford took a month to supply the parts.
No more fords for her or her UK expat husband either

I had to order a bumper from them. Got the phone call it was ready to collect, so went down there with the wifey.

Eventually ,after 45 mins, we were given the bumper. It took them another 30 minutes to sort out the bill !!

Toyota service trucks quicker than that.

I seriously considered the new Everest but hate automatics, so I went for the 2.2 manual Wildtrak instead. It has most of the Everest gubbins but is cheaper, more economical and looks better. The wife hates automatics too.
