truck manufacturer should consider design rear seat & back glass foldable like those 3 drs or 5 drs car boot. this is important when driver need to up load long item.

triton is great i have one 3.2. well here in the philippines 4×2 and 4×4 have same road tax. 4×2 is considered as 4WS here. for my experience triton has geat steering even at high speed. very good braking too. i wanted a hilux but was to scary bcuz it dosent even pass the moose test. lots of people here drive crazy. Stock dueler tires on a triton suck they slip alot on slightly wet roads.

if you like SPACESHIPS go for the triton.
if you like Solid Mean looks go for the Ford Ranger or Navarra.
if you want a rich looking truck on the outside(outside only ^^) go for hilux.

I recently discovered I had a minor slip disc and my dr suggested me getting a 4×4.
I was looking for a car anyway so the advice was welcome for health reason.
The problem is I have never driven a 4×4 before.
I am interested in the Triton for its looks, price and driving comfort. Would love to own the 3.2 but the high road tax made me look to the 2.5

As a first time future owner of a 4×4, can you share some advice for me?

The 3.2 model is very powerful compare to others 3.0 model , even 2.5 triton can beat the dmax if you consider power only. but the most important things is the 3.2 is out of stock now , need to book . I got a lot customers on hand but scare to get booking from them . 2.5 is very reliable to use , comes with free maintainence , even a mining company bought 12 unit from me ^^

Why are most Malaysian auto test drive not interested in providing fuel consumption figures during the duration of the test. Are we Malaysians being so well subsidised that we do not bother about consumption. And when consumption is given, it is almost always at sens per km. What crap is that? If we were to read the test at a much later date, we have try to figure out what the price of petrol/diesel was at the time of the test and take out the calculator before that sens per km makes any sense.

Give us plain simple X litres per 100 kms that everyone undestands everytime!

Paul Tan says: It’s hard to do because of the short duration of test drives this blog gets, we barely finish half a tank of fuel sometimes, but I try to make sure future test drives will have fuel consumption data. What we can do is refuel from the half tank up to a full tank again and calculate how much fuel goes in to figure out how much fuel we used. Only thing is that the car companies will get a free full tank at our expense, haha.

Oh and this Navara & D-Max failed to score the EURO NCAP if I’m not mistaken, 1 star & half star Respectively! Triton got a 4 stars.
—————————————————–

Yup you are right……i saw that website too…. D-max and Navara scored the worst in pick-up category…..

Better be safe than sorry !!!

for those that wanna compare euro ncap test, the navara INITIALLY got 1 star, because of a delayed air bag deployment program.

after nissan reprogramed the trucks and airbag, it got 3 STARS.

so don’t anyhow bash. update yourself.

and the Navara has the MOST POWER for its class. Cheaper road tax too.

Mother Trucker pawns the Triton. woohoo!

LOL.

Another thing – when it comes to a harcore offroading truck, there is only one choice – Toyota. Ask any loggers or real 4×4 owners. Mitsubishi would be some distance behind. Nissan is more suitable for recreational activities or light offraoding.

Jen,

you cannot drive a truck like you drive a car! The CG is higher, steering and braking requires more force, tends to oversteer, etc.

I love 4×4s but the running cost and raising petrol prices finally ended my 14 year love affair with them.

BTW the river water is hardly 6 inches – come on, the Triton is not a cissy! Try wading in the river.

Do you mind telling us how is your Waja routine service cost ever possible to be 70% more than Innova? AFAIK, UMW TOYOTA is the biggest bloodseeker in after sales service among the japanese brand.

I used to drive a pick-up but subsequently I found the center of gravity is too high and somewhat dangerous especially during wet seasons and going downhill.
Powerful, nice looking, pocket friendly but not recommended for safety.

One of the reason that put me off buying Mitsubishi’s car is that the servicing is done by EON. Hey only recently I noticed that routine servicing of my waja cost 70% more than servicing my Innova! Makan duit again; from top to bottom!

I thought that road tax for diesel has been reduced to the same level as petrol given that the price at the pump is not very much different these days.
