Thread: Utes - Parts and servicing

Thanks Guys for the thoughts.

My daughters mans father is a fairly big time balage contractor . . . we visited on them on Christmas day and had a good talk about vehicles. Currently he has a Landcruiser (6 cyl turbo) and two Rangers (one auto PX and one manual PX) on towing duties, mainly the big rakes they use, which are over 3 tonnes, and they usually have a deck-load of wrap in addition. He has run other Landcruisers previously.

His conclusion - Ranger every-time now. He has had just as many issues with Landcruisers as Rangers (one blown auto trans in 180,000 kms between the two Rangers) and they are both expensive to fix. He reckoned that the Rangers do have the odd "lemon" but given the numbers they have been sold in as a percentage its probably a pretty modest failure rate.
