I WILL NEVER BUY FORD RANGER AGAIN, NEVER!!!

I used to own a Toyota Hilux Double Cab, back in 2011 to 2014. I was a happy, regular guy with a young happy family (wife, kids and ton of positive attitude towards life in general). Everything kept going right with my Toyota. Then in 2015 something tragic happened, which changed my life in ways I will never forget, EVER!!! I traded in my trusty, ever reliable Toyota Hilux and bought a Ford Ranger 3.2 TDCI Double Cab!!! That was the worst mistake i have ever made in my life. Since that stupid mistake, I have faced two engine breakdowns (and therefore two costly engine replacements in less than three years), plus repeated mechanical breakdowns related to the fuel pipes, fuel injectors, etc. This vehicle has repeatedly left me on the side of the road, alone, waiting for tow trucks on many, many occasions. Right now, i'm facing financial ruin ( I need over R100,000.00 to repair this vehicle, including buying a new engine). For your information, the workshop where the vehicle was taken for tge repair work, they have many broken Ford Ranger duesel engines (especially 2.2 TDCI) on the workshop floor. (I was relieved to see that I wasn't the only one with this tragic problem). As long as I'm still alive, I will never buy a Ford Ranger (or any Ford vehicle for that matter) again, NEVER EVER AGAIN!! Thank God that Toyota continues to make reliable vehicles. The Toyota Hilux is a hellvof z product.
