Nice... I tried calling to get the price but got a busy tone. It looks like a 4x2.

Well I got through to CRISM but they weren't able to give me a price.... long story.... they have to contact Japan's office which is 12 hour time difference to get the most up to date price... but they did send a softcopy of the accessories available (via email).

Fellas.... this is the pickup to look out for.

I been running field trips all week...

Just came back from a Chaguaramas - Moruga - Icacos - Chaguaramas...

Used just under half tank diesel...

Still trying to locate a Bosch Fuel Filter for the Mazda - not that I've been looking very hard but...

Getting a lil hard start in the morning - strainer starting to clog up Exclamation

Waiting for my Ford Ranger demo...

There are two versions of the Mazda/Fords engines

One model has the older engine - no variation. (12V SOHC)

Plus the newer engine - 16V DOHC in 2.5L (and 3.0L for the Fords)

Speaking for the Fords:
The older engine is featured in the "duty" range of vehicles. These also come with the tie rails on the side of the tray. Non powered windows, etc...

I don't bash RORO dealers but for that price I'm willing to wait and I'll take my chances with the local dealers/firm and their warranty.
