The Ranger is the Hilux’s biggest rival on sales charts and, unfortunately, on hijacking lists too. Double-cab Rangers are a common target for syndicates.
Like other popular bakkies, Rangers are valuable both whole and in parts, and are often moved across borders quickly after a hijacking. Newer Rangers with keyless start have also been targeted with relay and signal-jamming techniques.
A plan combining GPS, VHF radio backup and jamming detection gives the best chance of recovery. Ask your provider whether the unit can be hidden in a non-standard position, as experienced thieves know the usual fitment spots.
