They appear a lot of times in the failure stats but if you look at the dirty unloved cousin (the BT50 mazda version) that is mechanically identical for all practical purposes yet is considered a lot better in terms of reliability. It's actually bloody near identical, the issue here is that less BT50's were sold than Rangers do everyone hears about the mate who's ranger shit itself.

The Hilux's and Isuzu's have just as many issues as do the Mitsi's but one thing especially in favour of the Mitsi in NZ is the 10 year/5 year warranty package.

Yes but what does it cost you in servicing costs to maintain that warranty?
