I saw a white Tundra in St Ives today - looked new or newish. Black letters on tailgate, thin sequential LED blinker strip above number plate recess.
Didn’t realise there were any here. |

Ranger was already one of the best tow vehicles. Now with more power and torque it's easy to see why its so popular in this arena.

I'm adamant that the Hilux is the rental and fleet queen, where as the Ranger is very popular amongst private buyers.
Curious as to the breakdown between the 4x2 and 4x4 Hilux sales figures like we get every month with the Ford figures. |

New Triton
https://www.goauto.com.au/news/mitsu...-26/91527.html It’s a good looking ute. Hopefully it’s as reliable as the current model. I never understood the hate Triton gets. Until they started charging near Ranger money it was a brilliant ute for the price. |

I thought they might have cranked a bit more than 470nm out of the new Triton? .....brand new and it can't match the opposition

There's always been a lot to be gained with a custom tune on Tritons maybe the new one has a similar protection built into the factory tune

Looks are subjective. It's still ugly in my view.

Sounds like the bodies lighter but the high tensile chassis is heavier , one media fella said it was no more than 100kg heavier than the old model ....so not too bad considering it's quite a bit bigger

Im going to be in the minority and say I actually dont mind how it looks... I hate how the current "Storm Trooper" one looks though. If Mitsi prices it correctly it may do well...
New engine's figures aren't ground braking but 150kw and 470NM isnt terrible... Bi Turbo Ranger is 154kw and 500nm so your not talking massive difference.... Twin Turbo and 6 speed auto may make it closer still, weight may also make a difference. Be interested to see some local tests....

Can't be that subjective on this one, because I agree with you completely.
Might go call my mate Satan and see how chilly it is down there in hell at the moment ![]() However, this has peaked my interest: Quote:
I wonder what the 'shift feel' would be like on that, I'm picturing Daytona USA arcade machine. Anyway, I would like to congratulate Mitsubishi for releasing a Triton which exceeds the 2011 PX Ranger by 3KW in the power department - welcome to the 2010s. Maybe by 2033 they'll be able to match the current generation Ranger ![]() |

The looks are as tough as my experience on the back seat of a Triton long ago when I went animal trapping.

You say it's not far off the bi-turbo ranger, but for context, territory diesel is 140kw and 440nm. 10kw and 30nm isn't much so you'd want to hope it's geared better. The torque curve is steeper than territory at least.

If you squint, the blurred scenery in the background looks nice.

Looks more like a Thermo King reefer grille to me.

Toyota must have a shed load of those mirror mounts... Very 1923.
