Yeah di ko rin trip na lagpas siya sa bubong ng Ranger. Mas okay yung sa Hilux, saktong sakto.
Black Hilux with Overland rollbars and 20" OEM-style Toyota rims = my idea of pogi.
Still hoping for 20" OEM-looking rims for the Ranger. Hanggang wala, will probably stick with 18s..

I have similar FC to JX290 and Glenn. 8-10 km/L in city driving and around 12-14 km/L in highway driving. You can probably reach 20 km/L if you stick to 70-80 kph, but I've never been able to do that on the highway.
Compared to the 2.5 engine of the Everest/old Ranger, the 2.2 actually has noticeably more power. If you floor it and you're within 1500-3500 rpm, it'll keep pace even with the more powerful Fortuner 3.0 or Montero VGT.
However, the 2.5 of the Everest has noticeably less turbo lag, since it's less peaky. Driving at 1000-1500 rpm isn't as powerless as in the Ranger so you don't have to row through the gears as much. The manual Everest is also easier to drive than the manual Ranger 2.2, since the clutch of the T6 Ranger makes you feel like you're taming a bull, while the Everest doesn't have any jerkiness.
If you get an automatic though, the turbo lag and jerkiness are much less noticeable.

thanks for the replies,
went to fort global city and inquired on the ranger, I found out the the xl model's engine is similar to the everest's engine but only 2.2 liters. the xlt's engine is the newer one, the ford person told me that the new engine(xlt's engine) is equivalent to the 3.0 liter old engine. I also found out that if you are looking for a 4x4 unit you only have 2 choices the xl and the 3.2 wildtrak. Sayang the discontinued the 2.2 wildtrak 4x4 and sayang because they also don't offer the xlt in 4x4.
Allow me to chime in. I havent driven a patrol so i cant compare, but yes, the clutch is very high in my 3.2 WT. I used to ride both the clutch and accelerator on my honda city since it didnt do anything, now i had to relearn everything.
One thing ive read and seem to agree is that the manual has some sort of rev compensation. If you have the habit of adding a bit of revs when you downshift to ease "gearshift shock", the ranger tends to "buck". If you just release the clutch fully and only then accelerate, its better. I still cant say its smooth tho, but have eliminated some jerkiness.
Also, since the clutch is very high, i position my seat further away so that i can only step half of the length of my clutch. Bottoming it out also makes it jerky.
Hope this helps.
Looking to trade in my "other brand" pickup for a Ford Ranger XL model - anybody with any recommended contacts? Preferably Ford By the bay but any dealership that's not too far north it fine.
Thanks
^^^ You're better off Googling for the information than hearing it from misinformed sales agents.
The 2.5 (WLC) and 3.0 (WEC) engines of the Everest and old Ranger are Mazda engines.
The 2.2 is a Puma (ZSD-422) engine developed by Ford. The 3.2 is also a Ford engine but differs from the other Puma engines because it is a 5-cylinder.
So, no, the 3.0 of the Everest is not related to the 2.2 of the new Ranger. Perhaps what the sales agent was saying was that both engines produce similar power. This is probably true for peak power, but the 3.0 has more torque and less turbo lag than the 2.2.
