ej_qn Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 The first gen with the YD engine. You said it yourself that it can go toe to toe with the 3.2 wildtrak. The number of gears doesnt matter kasi nagkakatalo pa rin yan sa final drive ratio. If you want more power change the ECU, increase displacement or might as well change the engine with VGT turbo. Gears do matter. Final drive ratio isn't actually the decision making factor here rather than how many gears and the gear ratio. Will a 4 spd A/T be able to outrun a 6 spd A/T considering both are turbo diesel and change gears in almost the same 2000+ rpm range? Of course not. Simple mechanical fact is that a 6 spd has more gears to play around with and gives the engine less stress and higher top speed. Sure, maybe on the 1st-3rd gear it'll become toe to toe but after that it's just how much stress the 4 spd can take. I know, I own a 3.0 hilux and 2014 3.2 Ranger. Like what I said earlier.. the 3.0 Hilux can challenge the 3.2 Ranger IF it was given more gears. Increasing displacement doesn't necessarily give it more power. Example, the powerplant of the 2.0 VGT Sportage.. It's just 2.0 but packs 184ps and 394nm torque. 1 Quote Link to comment
lanch Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Sobrang piga ginawa ng hyundai sa mga engine nila. If you're saying higher displacement does not give more power, bobo pala mga taong gumawa ng muscle cars? More gears means less engine stress and better fuel efficiency. Power? I dont think so. Sa makina pa rin nag kakatalo. Higher top speed? Maybe. Quote Link to comment

Sa makina pa rin nag kakatalo. Higher top speed? Maybe. Muscle car is... muscle car. Typical American way of thinking. There are different ways of getting more power, turbocharging, bigger injectors, higher compression. What do you mean "sobrang piga?" Haha, then I guess you'll feel sorry for Euro cars like BMW, Volvo and MB then. Those cars are as heavy as SUVs and they only use 1.6-2.0 diesel engines to run it. So why be biased with just Hyundai??? Volvo's V40 Cross Country is a 2L twin turbo, now that's putting stress on a tiny engine. Btw, the 1st gen YD engine, do you own a Navara? What trim? Back then there was just the 142hp and the 172hp and the only way you can be certain you're getting the 172hp version is from the Techxtreme trim. Quote Link to comment
lanch Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 The first gen 4x4 was already rated 170+ hp. Not just the techExtreme. You were the one who said that increasing the disp does'nt mean increasing hp. Try towing heavy loads on those small engine vehicles and compare them with those big bore engines. Maybe you'll see the difference. What do you mean by typical american way of thinking? Are you trying to prove you think better than them? Quote Link to comment
noyzky7 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Best truck that are currently in the Phil market I'd have to go for the Ford Ranger 3.2L.Really? Watch out for the new NP 300 NAVARA 1 Quote Link to comment
Guest iyukitakahishi Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Ford Raptor...but too big for philippine roads Quote Link to comment
skuvski Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Can't wait for the new Toyota Hilux. Late this year raw lalabas Quote Link to comment
ej_qn Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Really? Watch out for the newNP 300 NAVARA It was an ok pick-up. Got to test drive it along Ilocos last month with some reporters. The rear legroom was greatly improved, engine is a carryover but with a VGT this time, 7-A/T only available for top trim. Np300 was a little bigger than it's prev model. Overall, it was an ok pick-up but I'm still leaning towards the new Wildtrakhttp://s1.postimg.org/n2m8iv7sv/x2015_ford_ranger_spec_xlt_03_jpg_pagespeed_ic_X.jpg Quote Link to comment
