You'd be an idiot to use this as a passenger vehicle in town. It's meant to work and pull on highways. Being "front engined" means it's quiter, smoother on highways, with the compromise of awful turning circles.
You're LR Japanese cab over truck with the wee 4 cylinder diesel motor is not really designed for extended highway use, and is better suited to urban environments. They have a better turning circle and a lot less blind spots. You can get the big motor for them with taller gearing, but it gets to be a bigger truck than that Ford.

Funny thing about these big american trucks is the trays aren't actually that much bigger than something like a hilux. Neither do they have better towing capacity. They're more expensive, less practical, and worse to run in aus. People buying these here aren't serious about their work, they just want a big car.

u/Flys_Lo Feb 02 '23
FWIW - I own an F250 (albeit newer than the one pictured) and a Ford Courier (the predecessor to the Ranger).
The tub is substantially bigger on the F250, on a Crew Cab model, you can get a 8'x7' bed (~2.4mx2.1m) meaning a bit over 5m2. Courier dual cab is 5.5'x5.5' (~1.6mx1.6m) meaning about 2.5m2. Newer Rangers and Hiluxes top out at a towing capacity of 3.5T, my F250 will tow 10T.
It also doesn't have much bigger of a turning circle, and gets ~12l/100km fuel consumption empty, where the Courier gets ~10-11l/100km.
→ More replies3
u/SassalaBeav Feb 02 '23
That's genuinely suprising. I was ill informed. I remember seeing a comparison on a few different trucks and utes, I wouldn't be suprised if they intentionally left out the trucks with actually larger beds. Just a question, do you actually end up using that extra space and towing capacity? And you don't find it inconvenient to drive?
19
u/Flys_Lo Feb 02 '23
Yeah, you can get a smaller bed option of the F250 (but the one pictured has the large bed option), but even the smaller bed is substantially larger than a Hilux.
These aren't often in Ute comparisons, as they are a significantly different size/price point.
I've never towed more than 3.5T with my F250, but it is a lot more comfortable/safer towing that, than with my Courier, but it only has that on a trailer behind it ~20% of the time. I do use the extra bed space most of the tiime, as I have some large tool boxes + still have room for a large bale of hay/pallet behind them. The problem with many people buying these (including me!) you buy it for your "worst case scenario", but it seems a bit wasteful having an expensive vehicle sitting there, and buying another vehicle just to do lighter duties.
I used to live in inner city Melb with it, many underground carparks you have to avoid (it's a bit over 2m tall), but otherwise, it's relatively surprising to live with. You do need to be concious parking it in general, but I'm very used to driving it. It is much more frequently used on the open road, and travelling Australia - and in those locations the generous cabin size/tray size etc. is hard to beat.

I'm not going to make an argument for the use of it as a lot of people have practical uses for trucks like this, just like many buy them for pose value. But the big argument for these sort of older American trucks is that as a work vehicle, they just keep going. That's probably a 20 year old F250 and stories of these trucks being used for work and racking up well over a million km on the original powertrain are quite common. In fact in the US with their weather and salted roads, it's usually the body succumbing to rust long before the mechanicals deteriorate. So comparing that to a current ute (or car in general TBH) that's relatively flimsy and will probably fall apart well within a decade, the appeal is strong, same reason that older 4WD's sold new here still fetch good prices and are considered desirable, they're built to last.
And in regards to a "Fucking Climate Crisis", that's true, but at the same time I think there's a lot to be said for looking after and maintaining a vehicle so it lasts, instead of this idea that they're a disposable object that has to be thrown away every few years so we can keep facilitating polluting factories in countries with little environmental concern.
Also, I'm not going to defend the blokes in mall crawler 4WD's who drive like dickheads, but if someone has a 20 odd year old truck like this that is still in good condition like this one appears to be, I'd dare say they're probably a more careful driver than a lot of people on the road.

They definitely aren't cheaper, and there is no great data sources that you can "affirm" reliability, but they do last a LONG time, and hold their value like few other vehicles.

So quick to assume tradie hate lol. My old boss manages an I.T. business... and bought himself a brand new Dodge Ram, because reasons.
No different to the weekend warriors who used to buy a Hilux/Ranger/etc and cover them in pristine ARB kit and paint job - while parked at Westfield or an inner city business carpark poking out into the lanes.
If there's genuine need for having one, then fair go, but I can count multiple similar American trucks driving around town daily (NEW ones), in ever increasing numbers, without so much as a single paint scratch or scrap of mud on them. My old JDM turbo wagon has more scratches and stone chips on it then the vast majority I see, and has probably seen more dirt roads.
You can't tell me everyone driving one of these is doing so because they need it for work.

There's a fucking climate crisis FFS
Yep, there sure is. Now let me come audit your life and get rid of everything that is adding to the climate crisis. Most of the world doesn't have air conditioning, we'll turn that off. You don't need that big screen TV either. You don't need a car at all, get a bike. All of these consumer goods you like to buy? We're seizing those.

That truck is about 20 years old now, hardly new. However, it is disappointing how popular dual cab utes and large SUVs are in Australia in 2023. Some people need them, but I see a lot of white collar men who live in the suburbs driving them.
