FactMidway through this generation's run, Troller stopped being an independent Brazilian 4x4 maker: Ford bought the company outright in 2007 for R$400 million, and Ford parts started showing up inside the T4.
The second-generation Troller T4, launched in 2001, replaced the first generation's tubular-buggy-style chassis with a rectangular-profile body-on-frame design for easier, higher-volume manufacture; Dana 44 axles, a Borg Warner 1352 transfer case and a 5-speed Eaton 2405 manual replaced the earlier carry-over Jeep/Ford parts, and most interior and mechanical parts were sourced from other Brazilian-market vehicles (mainly Volkswagen). The gasoline option was dropped by the end of 2001 in favour of a new 2.8-litre MWM turbodiesel (115 cv, 33 kgf·m), later replaced in 2006 by a 3.0-litre MWM/International Powerstroke NGD (163 cv, 38 kgf·m, shared with the Ford Ranger) and, from 2013 (for Brazilian emissions compliance), a 3.2-litre MWM/International Maxxforce TGV four (165 cv, 38 kgf·m). Ford acquired Troller in 2007 for R$400 million, restyling the interior with Ford-sourced parts (Fiesta/Ka switchgear) from 2009. Four-wheel drive. The page states power only in the Brazilian "cv" unit, never the literal "PS"/"hp" text this catalogue's checks require, so horsepower is left unset here.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Photographs
Brazil's rugged, Wrangler-styled Troller T4 wasn't a bespoke design for its third generation — under the fiberglass body sits a Ford Ranger frame, Ford's actual global pickup platform.

Brazil's first Troller, the 1996 RF-Sport, wasn't built like an ordinary 4x4 — its fiberglass body was bonded to a tubular chassis the same way dune buggies are made.
