The Ford Thailand website shows a Ranger Wildtrak Double Cab (SuperCrew) starting at 1,014,000 Baht, which converts to $30,655 USD. That's about a thousand less ($31,460) than a 2023 5G base XLT SuperCab 2WD here. Not sure what compliance hardware is required or included in Thailand (airbags, pre-collision, emissions etc) vs NA spec trucks, but hardware not included in those areas probably accounts for most of the lower Thai cost.

Thats a good point , I will find the original spec sheet for my Ford Ranger and post it here ?

Hi

Originally from England when I retired at the age of 46 I decided to give Thailand a try . after meeting my now Thai wife , Ive lived here in Thailand for over 22 years . Even after all this time some days I still see some thing and think to my self WTF . Overall Thailand is apart from the expat visa situation a great place to live, having said that driving on Thai roads is not some thing to be taken lightly . Once your driving on Thai roads the best option is to instantly assume that all the other road users near you are 8 years old.

I would guess the majority of Ford Ranger trucks sold here are the 4x4 type.

I love the words ‘’ Lady Dudes ‘’ , Ive met many of those and the vast majority were very nice .

Here’s a photograph of 4 young Lady Dudes signing up to join the Thai Army.?

Damn, that's what lady boys look like there?

This is what they look like here:

but the mice is where all the power comes from

Ive noticed that on the rear wheels the brake calipers on my new Ford Ranger , they seem to be a bit more open to the elements , I’m wondering what the ‘’ clip ‘’ looking things are for ( shown by a red arrow ) .

Another future mod I may look at is some thing like this exhaust set up .

Welcome to the Forum, @Thaicoon. I was there in '01 & again in '04, mostly in Bangkok & Phuket; it's an amazing place to visit.

Just to give you a heads-up, the lads here are a bit obsessed with this lady and her demonstration videos on Rangers (it's all purely about the trucks, I'm sure ), so being our new resident Thai expert, they're sure to ask you to translate.

Hi

I purchased the '' Limited Edition '' side vent badge from an online store


LINK Here .... https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i1380642601-s3512230987.html?urlFlag=true&mp=1&tradePath=omItm&spm=spm=a2o4m.order_details.item_title.1

I don't understand why one would want a misleading label like that. Does it increase the resale value? A run-of-the-mill Ranger is not limited edition. Queen Latifia is not a queen.

Welcome to the forum.
I was going to add a picture of our ladyboys but thankfully @Jason B beat me to it so I didn't have type that into my google search. ?

Welcome to the forum @Thaicoon! That is a great looking truck, and I am sure you will get years of enjoyment from it.

I have been to Thailand a number of times for work, and I had some close friends that lived there, too. It is a wonderful country with the kindest people you will ever meet, as I am sure you are aware having lived there for 22 years.

The food is amazing and very cheap by western standards, and the Thai people seem to have a very laid back lifestyle.

Thailand is consistently on the lists of best places for expats to retire with the cheap cost of living and excellent healthcare system and quality of life. You have made a great choice!
