I would be disapointed in any new ute that wouldn't do that range easily enough.

remap is exactly that, you pay 1k + to get the ECU completely remapped to increase power and fuel economy.
its on my to do list one day

cant imagine a big difference to ranger from a remap? want some fun just turn the traction control and esp off the power is now available to your right foot

The remap was done with the intention of improving the torque in the lower revs. The ranger has lots of power without a doubt but its not delivered in a work vehicle/tow vehicle manner. The owner said that it was an improvement but not ideal. The truck is a manual. In 2 wheel drive on a bone dry paddock it was riddiculous. No limited slip diff? My old nissan would walk all over it offroad. And for such a barge of a vehicle where is the interior space. Claustraphobic. Ok they look smart but for this to be NZ,s top selling ute - I expected more. I want a d-max.

D-max is smaller lots less power and ranger has electronic diff locks so you just got to learn how to drive it. Still D-max is the next best thing to ranger.
Didnt think I would convince you lol everyone has different taste in cars, That has to be a good thing
