The Nissan has 520,000k's up and all he has ever done to it is replace the front brake pads once and it's had one wheel alignment. Still on the original clutch, and only ever been serviced when it was supposed to be. He looks after his cars and it still looks new. Will the Ranger be as reliable? I doubt it.

They don't make cars like they used to. The Japs really had it going on in the early 90s. I'd put my money on a early to mid 90s Jap 4 x 4, rather than a post 2000s or 2010s Thai Hilux or Ranger, any day of the week.
