However it&#8217;s not as say Triton which is instantly ancient. A new model Hilux is not due for at least 18 months so this will have to do. The good thing about older models is that they have a proven reliability\/problem history and priced very well and indeed discounts can easily be had.<\/p>\n<p>The all new Ford Ranger doesn&#8217;t seem to have any consistent problems, with only the expected lemons every so often.<\/p>\n<p>There is nothing really wrong with picking the Ranger or the Hilux. In the end its really the look\/feel and the price really. To that end we gravitate to the mid-range Ford Ranger at the time of posting this comparison. That said if we wanted a petrol engine the energetic V6 Hilux is the only one you should be considering.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<table style=\"width: 700px;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" colspan=\"2\" valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\" width=\"288\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-2027171236681273\";
