Just installed LPG system on my car

What is the cost of LPG now?

I remember it used to be about 11b per litre in 2010.

Does anyone know if you can get a pickup truck factory fitted with LPG and which truck is best suited so that cargo space is not infringed

Depending on areas/stations the retail price of LPG is around 14-15 baht/liter.

There are no factory fitted LPG for pickup trucks, there are only factory fitted CNG/NGV. Even then you can hardly buy a new one anymore as most of them have stopped selling it. Plenty of used ones though - Hilux, Triton and Tata. However all of them share the same downside which is the huge tank taking up space at the cargo bay. And all of them uses gasoline engines as diesel engines does not work well with LPG & CNG. It can work but the savings aren't as much with a gasoline engine.

But the thing is gasoline engine lacks the torque that diesel engines has and kinda defeats the purpose when used in a pickup truck.

So what's the best choice for a pickup truck to use LPG without taking up the cargo space AND has a lot of torque? Well one of the customers of the shop that I went to did this:

Body: Ford Ranger

Engine: Toyota 2UZ-FE 4.7L V8 producing 270+hp & 427Nm of torque.

LPG tank: Under the cargo at the space where the spare tire used to be stored
