Hilux 2.8 Vs Ranger 3.2

I’m a Hilux man, nimechoka kuona watu wakisema Ford Ranger is superior.

Hilux anytime just look at all manufacture suppliers either use Hilux or Isuzu Dmax cause of experience with the local demands. Then kwani hiyo Hilux ilivuta hiyo Ranger mpaka Mt. Kenya. That reminds me why Hilux remains the undisputed king of miraa transport and without them @mayekeke angekauka mbaya.

If I am not wrong I think the Ranger has a very huge engine in comparison to the Hilux. Around 4000 plus so I suppose fuel consumption is also high…Ooops 3200cc

Apart from higher fuel bill its maintenance is highers as well. The Ranger scores higher on looks but we are not comparing sports cars but pickups/doublecabs here and that doesn’t count.

hiyo ni UPUSS. You cannot test a car like that. the one with bigger wheels and tougher thread will pull while the other one just spins. Weight might also be a factor on a rough patch.

Such a test wouldn’t be a correct comparison of the two. There’s something called reaction time. and a bunch of other variables. SMH!

Ultimately it comes down with what you’re looking for in a car. Personally I’d go for the Ford since the look of the car matters to me :smiley:

Hilux only fails in one major area; stability. Na wale wote wako nazo ni ma-lead foot

He he I thought we were talking about cars. Seriously though ford ranger ni supuu sana and it has that 'rugged manly look". I cant speak to its performance since I have not experienced it

The Ranger has a very automated engine with lots of sensors. The local mechanic akifungua bonnet anakua confused.
The diesel version is also very sensitive to quality of fuel. Kunayo ilituharibikia in the interior of Laikipia and had to be towed to Nanyuki then mechanic na spare parts had to come all the way from Nairobi

Its like they had mainly set out to totaly humiliate the ranger

@mayekeke nataka kazi ya kuendesha hizi za miraa…nimeboeka na sales n marketing

Ranger is a good truck. Ford

I finally did a test drive of the Ranger, the older version lakini, it’s very powerful for a diesel, the petrol version must be a monster, stability was good but the driving was kinda off and braking is not good, especially in this rainy weather,though I must admit the Hilux is “shaky” at speeds above 100.

If the drivers were switched and you got the same result,eould that convince you that the Range’s reaction tome is sluggish.

Americans are still putting size over efficiency. Cheap gas syndrome.

No. put them both on a dyno and share the torque curves.
