This looks really compelling. Triton is no longer the cheaper "little brother" any more. That goes to LDV, GWM so they have appropriately positioned themselves in the middle. All the updates look really good. Torque on paper doesn't appear to be representative of actual driving performance. The two big improvements for me however are that the tub overhang is now sorted via longer wheelbase so you can put a tray on with better load distribution and the width has also increased. I think for a $10-$12k difference to Ranger/Hilux, I think this is a compelling package. Especially as in my view the tritons have proven to reliable over the years, and recent issues with Rangers concern me no matter how comfortable they are. Yes I'm sure the dealer fixes it all under warranty but the sheer inconvenience not only takes up your time but for others can cost you money if using for business/work.

Loved my Tritons and Pajero Sport so eager to see how this performs just sad we did not get the Pajero Sport 8 speed as it made a huge improvement over the 6 speed in the triton and fuel economy was in the high 6l/100km add that to the improvements on the engine of the 4n15 would have been even better. the Pajero sport towed the boat like a dream vs the Triton where you were left wanting a bit more power. I think it's a nice-looking ute that beats the Toyota SR5 which frankly is a massive step back comfort-wise on the old Triton already can't say I am a huge fan of my latest ute and won't be a Toyota again when It gets replaced next year this might just be the BEAST for me.

Agreed. While the MR does run shorter diffs (4.272) than the PS (3.9?), once you calculate the final drive ratio is each gear, fist is lower in the PS and 8th is about the same as 6th in the MR. The 8 speed has 6 gears to the 1:1 ratio va the MRs 4. Just much smaller gaps between shifts. The MR (and new Triton) will have 800-1000 RPM gaps between gears. In the MR, shifting up from say 4th at 3000rpm dropped you to around 2200rpm. Upshifting at 2500 dropped you too low in the rev band if towing 2.5-3.0t. Hopefully the 470Nm band from 1500-2750 is better at coping with the gearing gaps. While only 40Nm more at peak, looking at various dyno graphs online, it is going to be around 80-100Nm more in the 1500-2000rpm band. Fingers crossed.

Gotta admit not a fan of the steering wheel, gauge cluster doesn't look as good as the mr imo, & the fact that the infotainment unit is not integrated looks like an after thought. Hope they fixed the vibration when towing & throttle lag issue as in my mr it was bad, although did notice it wasn't as noticeable after installing a snorkel to the vehicle

Have you ever had an issue with rear drums not stopping? There is a reason trucks use drums. They keep dirt and mud out of the brake system. Technically, drum brakes are an all round good system that covers on road and off road braking, especially those who drive on unsealed roads everyday. If you need a car with only disc brakes, then you probably don't need a 4x4 ute. The current ranger raptor has a stopping distance of 44m, whereas the previous generation Triton could stop in 38m, same as the Hilux and Dmax, all of which have discs. You'd be better spending your money on slotted front discs to maintain heat dissipation rather than fitting discs to the rear

I tow closer to 3t with the MR. With max towball loading I needed to upgrade the suspension to bring it up to a standard I was happy with chassis wise. The longer wheelbase will definitely help. Power wise, even towing in NZ with constant cornering and climbs it has sufficient power even if the gear spacing is a bit wide for the nature of the power/torque delivery. If the 470Nm from 1500-2750rpm claim is true, then it should have 70-100Nm more torque in the 1500-2000rpm band which will help. Given they stuck with the 6spd rather than put in the 8spd the PS had, I just hope they haven't chased a marketing dept desire o for a brochure only fuel consumption figure by putting in taller diff ratios. I'm also looking forward to a tow test. Would also love to see a back to back comparison, including dyno run, with the MR Triton.

Well I can reflect on this driver technology first hand distroying a brand new D/Max on 8th September 2023. Scenario. M1 north bound just nth Port Macquarie. I'm travelling sth, need to stop to attend to an issue on our caravan (in tow). As it's 110 klms an hour traffic I'm focusing on my mirrors to not impede on any following traffic. Next thing there's dust, dirt rocks flying everywhere some distance behind us. I alight from my car to see a D/Max appear out of the dust in the centre island between nth/sth corridors of traffic. Interestingly two nth bound cars stop, look around, render no assistance & drive off again. I walks up to vehicle, (quite some distance, so took a little time) I arrives, driver emerges totally in shock, no injuries, just totally shocked. He explains he doesn't know what happened, it brand new, just collected it from Port Mac dealer on route to Qld to have it fitted out with gear, bullshit. I had to leave him and contend with those steel safety divider cables as he'd gone directly into them, they'd wrapped around his car front wheel, he'd torn them out of the mounts, they'd recoiled across two nth bound lanes. Now if you've ever inspected these fittings, they're possibly 30mm thick solid steel bolts about 400-500mm long with huge nuts attached and these were being flung around by trucks/cars still passing through at 110klms an hour. I dashed between clearings in traffic to gather these off the road, phew, another tragedy avoided. Then debris from his car was being picked up by truck tyres and being hurled in every direction, hence I set about retrieving this stuff. I was gobsmacked to find it was remnants of his front alloy wheel, shattered into pieces. Lots of small trivial plastic but all large plastics and all metal objects removed. Whilst doing this I attacked the attention of a nth bound ambulance whom stopped to address my actions, then saw the D/Max and presumed I was driver. No, I points the driver out resting beside D/max. They activate lights which begins to slow traffic , thank god. They attend to him in rear of ambulance and call for police attendance. Finally the cavalry arrive, two nth bound & one sth bound. They take control and I can finally relax. Coppers plan to drive vehicle and I point out it's not intact holding out front right disc brake pads in my hand, just some of the many steel parts retrieved from nth bound lanes of traffic. I then point to the pile of alloy, once the front right wheel. They inspect front right and say, yeah, see what you mean. Who are you? I'm the guy from that van way down there. I've been clearing the cables and debris off the road. They thank me and turn their attention to ambulance officer whom says. Looks as if he's fort with the lane keep assist and lost. Conclusion, he's not indicated to change lanes, lane assist tries to retain between lines, he struggled to merge right, finally it's let him do so but straight off the road into safety cables. I left the scene, attend to caravan issue and sets of sth again. On reflection after the event, I've often wondered if those two vehicles that stopped caused this incident by merging into this guy's path, his taken evasive action (no time to indicate) car fort his decision, result, catastrophic. Turn all that shit off whenever you can, it could have killed this guy, let alone destroyed his brand smacking new vehicle. Delivery paperwork was still on passenger seat along with spare fob for Christ Sake.

What transmission did they used? As the previous triton have a very reliable aisin 6 AT.

Agreed. For the first time ever I actually really like the way the Triton looks. Love the new tough and boxy design!

Is this the Navara based ute? My Navara still runs on YD25 and pretty satisfied with it, got this after passing over my Wildtrak 2.0 biturbo to my son because I just can't get used to the light steering and unnatural power curve

For some reason, you forgot to put the active safety equipment. I always visit your videos, especially for that section. I like this car, can you please let me know how effective are the safety features - adaptive cruise, lane keep assist system, road sign recognition, speed limiter, blind spot monitoring and 360 camera work?

Looks like a massive improvement on the old model. Is there a standard rear diff lock? The snorkel sown on your test car, is it an actual snorkel (sealed unit) or just a raised air take? Thanks for the vid
