    You don't see any humor in the toxicity ?

    That modified Ranger...... yeah, it was the mods that caused the issue.........not vehicle related.

    Current Ranger has been though water a lot deeper without issue........... Built Ford Tough.

    Toxicity? What toxicity? It’s piquancy, adds a bit of zest and if you can’t abuse some silly arse on the fucking cybersphere, what can you do?

    Man up and what ever you do, do not buy that silly Cross.

    SBF, for your price range you can get a Ford Everest.

    Diesel all the way for 4 wheels in Thailand.

    It might be a bit bigger than you asked but when you're in BKK and worried about parking, just pull up, press the button and it parks you perfectly a half inch from the kerb.

    My Mrs claimed my one (actually bought it to sell for profit) and I still drive the ranger (same year and engine) but fk me that Everest is an outstanding vehicle in all terrain, conditions and situations. I drove it from Udon to Songkhla after I bought it.

    My Ranger is a nice ride, but sometimes I feel like I'm slumming it while she lives the life of Reilly and laughing at me.

    Actually, I know it.
    Lang may yer lum reek...

    Thanks for all the advice.
    I was almost sold on the Honda Civic idea but I've decided to keep my Honda City (which is almost a Honda Civic anyway) and use the money to buy another cheap condo in Pattaya to rent out instead of buying a new car.
