Comparison reviews
Toyota Hilux vs Ford Ranger vs Mazda BT-50 vs Volkswagen Amarok | Car Reviews | NRMA Motoring & Services
3.2 BT50 vs 3.2 Ranger, Hilux & Amarok.. BT50 was the better pick up among the rest.
3.2 BT50 Compared to the 3.2 Ranger:
PROS:
-Better fuel consumption because its lighter than the ranger (8.9L/100km vs 9.2L/100km)
-Weighs lighter (2086kg Vs 2159kg)
-stiffer damper settings and faster steering than the Ford
-less expensive than the ranger (3.2 variant)
CONS:
- LOOKS DEPARTMENT
- Lesser lateral support, the ranger has better seats
- general layout of the dashboard and the quality of the materials used isn’t on par with the Ford.
- the rake on the windscreen is too severe and so, when you’re driving into the sun, the dashboard is reflected onto the windscreen making it very hard to see, especially if you’re following another car on dirt.
didn't that comparison picked the ranger over the bt-50?
from the article
Verdict
The wooden spoon was an easy pick with this one, but it might not be the one you think… we picked the BT-50 as our bottom dweller. And that’s because we had the Ranger to compare it with. On the one hand, the thing is trying to be a passenger car, and on the other it’s trying to be a commercial vehicle as are the other three on test. And in the end, it doesn’t really do a great job of being either. And it’s miles behind the Ranger.
So, with the BT-50 in bottom place, the HiLux is elevated to third. Sure, it feels old and clunky, and the drivetrain is about seven years old but, in isolation, it’s a comfortable old bus. It didn’t get up our test hill so you’d need to pay for a rear differential lock and that would nearly level peg the HiLux with the Ranger, and it’s a long way behind the Ford in every situation.
The Ranger took home the silver medal and, to be honest, that surprised us all because of the hype surrounding it. It’s good, but next to the Amarok it’s not great. It’s a notch or two behind the big VW on and off-road, and in terms of general refinement and the quality of the materials used inside the cabin.
That puts the Amarok on top of the podium. It’s more refined than any other dual cab on the market (although the omission of Bluetooth and steering wheel mounted controls is frustrating), and with an eight-speed automatic due to be added in 2012 a good thing will become even better.
So, if you’re in the market for a work and play dual-cab the Amarok really is hard to go past. And, if you were wondering, Nissan Navara and Mitsubishi Triton would have slipped in just ahead of HiLux but behind the Ford.

BT50 is in the bottom dweller/bottom place.
May mga dumating na daw na units kaso
Nasa planta pa at undergoing na ng inspection. Lalabas siguro mga 1-2weeks.
Was following a truck load of 5 rangers along edsa..2 Blue,White,Black & Silver. The silver had a small ranger sticker on the upper left & the bumper was color keyed. The rest had the big ranger sticker & chrome bumper.
