Dual-cab ute load and tow comparison | Road test | 4X4 Australia

[@k.whiking4372]

Thanks for the review. I have been considering the Mitsubishi and you have put some of my doubts to rest.

[@tonesbones502]

It's always interesting to note that reviews never mention build strength. C rail vs D rail, thinkness of steel in tub etc. I suppose that doesn't matter to them, they're just interested in what the cars can do in one day. As a consumer I would like to know more of what I can expect 10 years down the track. Do I still have a ute or piece of crap.

[@practicalrecommendation5478]

Excellent review ! Mitsubishi Triton / L200 has a very good sense of a low-speed maneuvering and when reversing and turning radius ! Very good seating position and angle of the exterior mirrors! Highly durable materials, comfortable seats in the cab! No creaking sounds at all in the cabin as well as at higher mileage ! The car is moving well and acceleration from 0-100km / h is much better than the technical parameters show ! At -24 C starts engine from the first rev ! Very good quality !

[@simbayihamaundu3616]

Am very happy with my Hilux and Isuzu 2.8L TD... They have never given me any problems even after they both hit 100 000km +.

[@glennfisher3692]

i have the early rg colorado 2012 90k on the clock 70% of its life has been pulling 3000kg or more ive had heaps of rangers tritons and hiluxs and Prados on my tri axle trailer and my girl has always had more than enough power and safety at 100kmh ive even pulled land cruisers 20km up loose sand beaches i used to be a hilux man now i would not have one if you give it to me ill be updating soon to a new colorado

[@MF-qw5wl]

All my thoughts and opinions Value for money = triton unbreakable = hilux/dmax towing = ranger/bt50 best transmission = amarok auto quickest 0-100 = triton auto best on fuel = triton manual

[@sauberbeast]

Mike F yep Dmax for me as best all rounder, tough reliable economical, and you can service it yourself without too much hassle..unlike ranger etc

[@McNuggs-]

The Isuzu has the most reliable engine out of the entire bunch I don't give a damn what anyone says. It's not all about power. I want to see a Ranger outlast a D-max. 😂

[@KriegerDelfin24]

Mike F the The New Amarok V6 can tow up to 3.5 tons the Old one could tow up to 3.2 tons. the New Amarok V6 goes from 0-100 in 7.9 sec. It can carry up to 1 ton in the bed. and it has Powerboat oder Overboost as some call it 160kw to 180kw. All numbers are metric. this is how we get it in Europe

[@AnnoyingName999]

Bring the cars back in 100,000kms and also 200,000kms and see which one has had the fewest problems. I'll stick to my Isuzu thanks.

[@McNuggs-]

Exactly. This what all these tards don't comprehend. I cringe every time I hear praise for the Ranger and Colorado. Let's see them make it to 100k km without any issues.

[@tacuazinful]

AnnoyingName999 exactly!!, that's the real test, the real life test RELIABILITY/DURABILITY

[@OFFICIAL_VIDEO_AWARDS]

Mate bring your dmax in after 30 years my horse and carriage will still be running even after horse changes. That's what you dmax owners don't get.

[@smashinu2]

2014 ranger done 300 000kms never had any issues

[@brade8744]

The Prophecy Cat so an engine change

[@Sam-lk6eo]

Rangers biggest problem is that the transmission overheats and warps when overworked in sand or offroad while towing, A replacement costs over $8000.00

[@maresalatime]

I own the new Navara NP300, everything they said about it is true. But if you dont plan to tow 3.5 don't buy it. But if you're talking long distance driving it's is by far the most smooth ride you'll ever get because of the tray suspension while towing a 2.5 camper trailer. Very small road noise and no tray bounce. I've driven a ranger and Colorado from Newcastle to Brisbane (work vehicles) and Navara wins in you being comfortable for long drives and fuel.

[@andrug4208]

Maresala Jnr do you recomendó Navara i want to buy Montero pajero or Navara i like extreme offroad what you recomend?

[@ayreon213]

This happens time and time again, the Mitsi performs way better than expected and gets little to no glory for it. Why are the expectations on Mitsubishi always lower when they consistently perform great? The Triton did as well as and in some cases better than the other utes there, not to mention that it's between $10k-$15k cheaper than the competition.

[@sw86241996]

ayreon213 Got MN triton for three years without any issue so far. done 2 inch heavy duty lift up and increased another extra 150 kg payload. Happy with that.

[@bravoboy1234]

Its fuckn ugly is why people dont like it is my geuss

[@trentmcintosh1877]

+bravoboy1234 can't be that ugly they selling shitloads of them,price ain't everything.

[@bravoboy1234]

No I wouldn't argue about the price but christ theyre as ugly as sin IMO... Im sure theyre a good truck for the money.

[@nathanwrightmedia161]

if you cover the triton with bash bars and other shit it doesnt look too bad tbh. I think its a great compromise for a really good ute

[@aliwest2954]

I would go with the isuzu

[@jaimusicxx]

excellent video guys - very well presented and compared! Well Done!!

[@ryderwilson643]

We were towing 2 cows (400 kg each) and a 600 kg payload with chicken feed and the hilux nose was barely pointing up and we were using the 2.4 manual

[@simbayihamaundu3616]

I feel the 3.0L HIlux in that body was better than the 2.4L. My opinion

[@ryderwilson643]

@@simbayihamaundu3616 in which body? the d4d body (7th gen)??

[@tomsawyer4321]

These “experts” all seem to forget that when you are towing you should moderate your speed appropriately. 90-100kph is plenty towing 1.5 ton. If you can hold speed up a long hill climb it’s a good un. 380Nm in the Isuzu for example is plenty with a good driver. These utes are being made too powerful for weekend warriors with nothing but KZbin experience. Accidents waiting to happen. 15 years ago people thought the hilux 3.0d with 343Nm was a good towing platform, here’s a hint, it still is. If you want to tow 3.5T get an appropriately sized truck a Ute, whilst legal, is not a safe option for such large trailers.

[@sailingcitrinesunset4065]

100kmh is too fast for 3.5T in a duel cab ute. Watch the youtube video of a Triton jackknife and roll over towing a boat.

[@thebigw3377]

Buy the magazine 😂 what is it 1985 ?? 😂

[@OFFICIAL_VIDEO_AWARDS]

Bloody good reviews. Finally people who talk real cars.

[@markharvey18]

Would have loved to see a "real world" fuel consumption test with these utes while carrying the 800kg and when towing. My gut feeling is that the bigger displacement engines would outdo the smaller ones. Coming from a bloke who constantly carries 500kg of crap and laughs at the "rated" consumption figures.

[@sailingcitrinesunset4065]

They all need a transmission oil cooler

[@Seanpaulnz01]

Nice video. Would be awesome if you could do the same comparison video for SUV towing capability. Thanks

[@bigg_e5581]

But what are these utes like 4 years later, any issues or ongoing problems

[@tomtoogood3156]

Just picked up a Navara if your using one for this stuff don't get one but if your touring or 4wdriving it's perfect

[@tomcardale5596]

Just because the Navara had rear coils doesn't mean it shouldn't cope. The now departed Defender was all coils and that had a higher maximum train weight than any of them.

[@robthurlow1347]

So true 7000kg train weight for a 130 giving it 1 ton payload and the ablity to tow 3.5 tones at thr same time which none of them can match and with only 120bhp maximum over its life from the factory. You may never manage to stop it though if you do that.

[@dratempest610]

From that I'll take the 50 thanks ,higher payload and towing capacity along with that big 3.2 engine and a better front end , good honest hard working pickup.

[@bosse641]

The noisy music made it unbearable to watch.

[@imakilla4856]

[@MrHiroboman]

No need to swerve in OZ. We have bull bars!

Moose or not moose, I think australians love toyota, all toyota.. Hilux land cruiser bla bla..

[@kyleranderson2908]

Pretty sure your not supposed to swerve anyways...

[@glenrps180]

If your being fair dinkum and carrying heavy loads like this all the time you would set the vehicle up accordingly like a $300 airbag kit in the navs coils gives you the adjustability to have the best of both worlds and would place it up around the top of the heap. Leaf springs belong on a horse and cart.

[@christian.a.p6164]

Where is the Landcruiser 79?? As a builder i am considering one as a true work ute. I would like to see if the extra bucks is justified.

[@leightonc9723]

[@gthausde]

the navara would be great with an air suspension in the back

[@sailingcitrinesunset4065]

Airbags don't lower the front or put anymore weight back on the front tyres

[@chriscampbell5823]

I just brought a mitzi couldn't be more happy.. Obviously not the tough truck of the segment but for 15 g less then everyone els I don't care. Have had a lot of mates with the mk models and they are abused rigs never had an issue.. My ammorock was rubbish.. Beautiful car to drive good on fuel but constantly in the shop

[@Kurokahnn]

Chris Campbell I bought an mk2 xlt Ranger and its a great ute but hard to justify the extra cash. I think if i did it again id go the triton also.

[@8700s14]

Had my Triton Exceed for a couple of months now, really happy with it and similar to you Chris, I just don't see how anyone could justify the $15,000 extra you need to spend to get into the others. Just a shame the Triton is the 'ugly duckling' of the lot, love the look of the Navara and wanted the Navara to be everything I hoped it would be, but it just wasn't that great.

@@matt08sydney same year as m ine-mine has towed an excavator all its life... 330000.. So no complaints. Keep eye on you water levels and white smoke at startup. If you are using water and there are no leaks it's possibly EGR.. Ididnt even get a warning light. Temp dropped, meaning the entire coolant was dumped inti the manifold via the egr. Not great.

The Honda's not available in the Australian market, but the Amarok was the 8th most popular ute in Australia in 2015. It does have a lower payload and towing capacity though than the ones tested, so guessing that's why.

[@BuckeyeBryan]

It's interesting to see smallish trucks being sold around the world. Of all trucks shown here the only one being sold in the U.S. is the Colorado as either a Chevrolet Colorado\GMC Canyon. The Hi-Lux isn't sold here, we have the Toyota Tacoma which isn't a rebadged Hi-Lux, it's a different model (bigger). We don't even have the Ford Ranger, Ford stopped selling here a few years ago. I'm hoping to see the mid sized truck market grow in the U.S. Actually I'd like to see small trucks make their way back to the U.S. market, kinda want I truck that I could afford. Not liking the idea of spending $35,000+ for a well equipped 4x4 truck. The Ram 700\Fiat Strada is something I'm very interested is seeing sold here in the U.S.

A friend has bought a Z71 only for it to spend at least one day a week at the Holden dealer being fixed. The latest is a rear window motor failure, went down but won't go up! How about these vehicles get tested to the point of breaking, much like a crash test. Then give them reliability stars, based on the breakage test, owner feedback and real world results. Only then should the best be tested like this. Make the manufacturers improve their vehicles, their dealer network and make them responsible for their $55k product. Why don't all of these so called motoring experts lobby the government for lemon laws?
