yan reason sir kaya kinuha ko M/T baka kasi bago pumasok sa 5th at 6h gear mataas na rpm

Parehas tayong blue ranger. Parang minadali na production sa dami ng order. Pati tailgate ko hindi pantay pag nakasara. Babalik ko sa ford ito pag medyo maluwag na sa tym.

Matipid ha.

Pansin ko din yan sa mga brand new na sasakyan. Napakadaling magasgas o magkascratch. Kahit yung montero ng kapit bahay namin, kamutin mo lang, nagleave na agad ng gasgas. Manipis at malambot siguro ang top coat nila. Ano kaya magandang remedy?

Probably mga earlier batch (2nd) in PH are affected. Maybe these are the units/parts na binaha sa Thailand.
Thanks for welcoming. Hope you get your unit soon. Enjoy its ride bro.

Thank you for the post and welcome sa Tsikot...

Yes sir zam. Around 5-8k damage. It prevents minor scratches, water marks , bird sap etc but not 100percent. Water lang ang gamit instead of shampoo. Yes sir, all of my vehicles po my diamond gloss. I think big bert sa araneta my diamond gloss din. Hindi na din need ng wax pag my diamond. Hope this helps

Sir my nakita ako problem ng ranger sa thai forum about the a/t transmission problem.

I was about to order the Automatic XLT today but after reading earlier posts about the 4-5 seconds delay with the automatic transmission I am reconsidering it. Any updates on that? Did Ford fix it?

I test drove the Ranger and the Mazda BT-50. Both manual. I noticed that at any speed and gear I was using, there was a 2 seconds delay when i was flooring it. I thought it was strange and tried it a few times. It was the same every time. Even at 60km/h in 3rd 4th gear there was a 2 sec delay.

There is no 4-5 second delay, it is about 1sec at most and only at low speeds of around 10-20kph and the reason why has been explained already. There will be software released soon to update the auto box but it isn't a reason not to buy it. If I floor it at any other speed, even standstill, it is very responsive.

Matipid nga sir... mas matipid pa sa patrol ko, considering 3.0 lang ang patrol.

try nyo pa spray clear coat ng anzahl, it might help to resist minor scratches

Thanks sa info sir Tj... you know of any branch ziebart/big bert na malapit po sa fairview? or any contact details po...
I was thinking of having my bt-50 sprayed with anzahl clear coat na sana, pro it takes 2-3 days work.. madali lang ba diamond gloss process nila sir?

Sorry but his figures are exaggerated, you can do some research on the 3.2 A/T BT-50 mileage on the internet and they are basically almost the same with the Ranger.
