just picked her up.  2.2L AT.  excellent service at the Mazda dealer.

Nice, looks very clean. Do you know the current waiting time for the 2.2? Friend just ordered an xlt ranger and should get it in October.

Well I ordered mine on March 5th, so it took a tad over 2 months.  I suppose once they deliver on the backorders, delivery times should be quicker and a lot of BTs have been arriving.  And they've also just upgraded that Rayong factory.

Check with several dealers because it seems some of the dealers often post on the other Thai webboard that they have trucks in that aren't reserved.

Thanks, I'd like to know your fuel economy when you've done a few miles:)

I guess there is no chance what so ever of walking into a Chiang Mai dealer
& finding a ready to buy 2.2 MT Hi-Racer DBL Cab next month Posted Image

I will be renting a car from June 1st till I find a truck.
Might have to go used Posted Image

How are dealers about trade ins? Pretty fair?
I dont want to pay 5-600 a day rental fees for months.

No, dealers are not fare about trade ins. They will sell to one of the second hand places for a nice profit, better go there yourself and sell the trade in yourself.

Also for buying a second hand car: don't go to a dealer, go to a second hand car shop.

right now I'm getting horrible fuel mileage commuting in Bangkok traffic but check with this site for a better idea of what other's are getting.

Got to test the rain-sensing wipers tonight and it works like a charm!  

I'm really liking the this truck and the interior options especially the bluetooth.  

However one thing I've noticed that concerns me is that the AT transmission sometimes shifts a bit rough or maybe that's normal for AT trucks.  I've owned another truck before but it was MT.

i have a 3.2 auto and the fuel consuption is coming out at 8.5  l/100 lm. this is over 2500 km and it is all country roads and speed is mostly below 100km/hr
i have had no problems with auto but then i am not driving in bangkok traffic. the kick back works very good and with the back being light tends to cause the tyres to loose grip.i am very happy with the truck

Looks great, loving the rims!
How much did you pay for the wheels and tyres, if you don't mind?

Thanks!

I imported them by myself... couldn't find something nice here...

Superkatsu, How did you import the wheels?  and did you have to pay customs tax?
