The ford bantam can't take the load as advertised. I have about 400 kilograms on the vehicle everyday. The brake disks had to be replaced 3 times and the fourth time they put another vehicles brake disks on the Bantam which finally solved that problem. The vehicle cannot take the load because the front of the vehicle lifts of the ground causing the tires to wear on the outside they had to be replaced on 26000km which is ridiculous. I had to put extra shocks in the rear of the vehicle so that the vehicle could stand level or almost level, now I have ridden an extra 34000km making my mileage 61000km, i haven't changed any tires, yet they are running of normally. The dash lights and clocks don't come on immediately when i switch the ignition on and they want me to replace them myself because it is just out of the warranty. I tried to trade the vehicle in for the ford ranger 2500 turbo diesel but they wouldn't give me a deal even though i have had so many problems with their product. I had to trade my wifes opel corsa in to get the ranger. I would like to know why did i have to buy the ford ranger if they advertise the Bantam as a work vehicle and they say it can take a load, i have all the proof that it can't. The bantams value or rather what value they lied about when they said i am getting good value for my money and that i would be able to trade it in on another vehicle after two years. Please someone help me now. I am stuck with two vehicles, one is worth nothing and the other i haven't had any problems with yet. What can i do about the ford bantam and how can i resolve this problem.
