Note that the USDM Ranger has rear discs, why could that be?
Look at diesel engines in passenger vehicles and look at the same capacities in the Thailand Specials - the Thailand Specials are junk in comparison to the diesel engines on offer in Mercedes/BMW passenger vehicle platforms.
I guess the Thailand Specials have a 10 year lifecycle too as per the norm with LCVs.
The 3.2L I5 Is as old as the hills, didn't it live in the Euro Transit before being offered in PX Ranger?

well hopefully the new diesel brings it up to spec. though once again we are getting it too late its been available for years in the f150 now its dropped?
anyone concerned about having such a powerful diesel, see specs and they actually offer better economy.
land rover/ Jag have one producing 700NM
