Toyota HiLux vs Ford Ranger vs Mitsubishi Triton 2019 review

Who would have thought that the Toyota HiLux, Ford Ranger and Mitsubishi Triton would at times be battling for the top spot on the sales charts?
But that's the case, and dual cab four-wheel drives are the flavour of choice for buyers. So we assembled the HiLux Rogue, Ranger XLT and Triton GLS Premium in order to see how they compare to help you find out where you should be spending your money.

Why does virtually every test that has a Triton in it forget to mention the fact that it has full time 4x4 on the Super Select 2 transmission?? It's a massive bonus over all the part time transmissions.

[@y4nnickschmitt]

While you are totally right. The available drive should be mentioned. But I can tell you from 6 years of experience with a part time 4wd Ranger in sometimes wet and snowy Germany and alot of towing that not having full time 4wd has never been a problem. When thing get slippery you can still turn on 4wd on the go. And since there is about 350kg in the bed at all times and the Ranger has 265mm wide tires all around theres hardly ever wheelspin.

[@cenzofrisina6517]

outdoors, spot on. already the super select 2 puts it on another level. safety when towing etc.

[@y4nnickschmitt]

@@titaniumquarrion9838 Well, since a pickups main purpose is towing and hauling while maintaining high driving stability, you can't expect superb ride comfort without a payload. Every bit of comfort you gain while beeing empty, you loose on the stability side. Thats why the 2012 Ranger was the most rigid and stable towing machine in the segment. Because it is really stiff without weight on its back. And aren't there better choices for long distance gravel/ off-road trips than a pickup anyways?

[@deanzammit2705]

I have the previous model triton and compared to a mates ranger I’d much prefer it. And both utes standard he couldn’t keep up out the bush 😂

[@y4nnickschmitt]

@@deanzammit2705 well I don't know about the Triton. But the Triton equivalent we get in Europe is/ was (don't know about the newest model) no good pickup. I drove one since we were searching for a replacement for our 98 Mitsubishi L200 a couple of years ago, and I was disappointed. Towed and hauled like the 98 model. Except for some more power. It's also the model that snapped in half more than a few times. But I hope sure hope the newer L200 isn't like that anymore.

[@benc7044]

Triton is the smart choice. Might not be the best in category but does everything pretty well and is a sharp price. 👍

[@kimuranaito1493]

Agreed 👍

[@SeasonAscent]

Reliability should be a major component to these reviews. This is why I'll go hilux time and time again. I've had mine since new in 2019 and haven't had a single issue with other than standard servicing. Its been offroad more than the average owner and I'm always impressed with its ability to manoeuvre over anything. A few mechanic mates have said to me the most frequent dual cab they see in theirs shops is the ranger. They rarely see a hilux.

[@TheWorldIsYour9]

I fully agree with you plus hilux is the best offroader & it has more power than the Ranger... Ranger has cheap plasticy interior while the Hilux has some soft material on the dash & a cumfy stearing wheel tham the Ranger

You forgot to say important topoc that Mitsubishi is the ONLY one capable to ride/drive 4x4 on highway/asphalt. Toyota nor Ford can do it!!!!

[@PRINCEDOG]

Can't argue with anything in this review but unfortunately reliability and build quality can't be tested and being mainstream media you guys can't honestly offer an opinion on after sales service either. For these reasons I believe anyone seriously looking at buying one of the cars involved in any such review should do far deeper research on each make/model.

[@RobG001]

Yep, well said, as with all car reviewers if they are entirely honest and slag off a car maker's vehicle they will end up blacklisted and have no vehicles from that manufacturer to review, always worth bearing in mind, they are publicity slaves to the manufacturers.

[@dylansalt1]

Horses for courses - my Toyota 2.7 gave me 17 years with one clutch replacement - with zero other work required - took me 1 week to sell it for the equivalent 9000 Aus dollar - I had a choice between buying the Ford Ranger 3.2 XLT or the Toyota’s 2.8 - I did not find the Toyota’s ride on tarmac harsh at all / in fact it was too soft for my liking - hence the Ranger was way to soft stock - I tow my boat with ease as well - I personally find the interior of the Toyota far more robust & with more storage spaces and can take full size mugs - the doors feel more solid - the Toyota in low range is a beast off road and will easily tackle grade 3-4 off road tracks which I’ve done with OEM tyres - I’ve now put in an Old Man Emu 2” lift & more aggressive AT tyres - I recently hired a Ford 2.2 and did 1000km in Namibia - where the Ford wins is in the comfort of the front seats - way better than the Toyota & brilliant fuel consumption averaging 7,7 ltr per 100km - if anyone is on a budget I would look at buying this older model - just upgrade the suspension & better tyres Unfortunately Ford Ranger has zero resale value compared to Toyota in South Africa - so if you’re one of those people that like to keep the same 4x4 for over 6 years - you will get nothing for a Ford 10 yrs down the line

Triton is underrated. The triton ticks all the boxes including speed. It’s hella fast!! You can feel it when the MIVEC engine kicks in. There’s a little bit of lag but when its there, you can feel that theres a lot of power in it. The toyota hilux however, theres no lag, the timing is on point when you press the gas but theres no enough power it can give. Theres no question why triton ticks all the boxes. It may be the least powerful in papers but mitsubishi used a higher standard when it comes to performance. Reliability wise, theres no problem with that at all

Reliability issues with the rangers transmission should really come under fire. Our rangers automatic transmission was replaced 3 times. The workers at ford said the company keeps brushing the issues under a rug rather than declaring recalls.. they don’t fully understand the issues so they can’t create a permanent fix. Issues including, overheating transmission, Locking in gears, computer glitches, and total lock up of wheels. Would have loved to have known before spending $50,000 on a Ute supposedly engineered for the Australian roads...

Both manuals and the 3.2 could not tow our maxed out trailer a tiny bit better than the 2.2. Furthermore on a steep Autobahn section I had to go from 5th to third gear. Maintaining about 25mph or so. While the 2.2 did about 43mph. So all in all the 3.2 is no more powerful, less efficient and way louder inside. Plus it likes to blow up without prior signs. Wich granted some 2.2s did as well. That discovery made me very dissapointed since I was planning to replace my "old" Ranger. And it's why I look forward to testing the 2.0 with 500!nm. Cheers.

These 3500kg towing capacity figures are a joke. If that much weight got twitchy at 100k's, kiss your a$$ goodbye. Out of this lot, the Triton is a clear winner for value for money.

[@Oz_Men_Life_Style]

Ranger surely not the best. 2 litre TT engine is too puny and highly strung for a 2.5 tonne caravan (Turbo generated horsepower from a small engine just no substitute for displacement in a towing scenario). 10 speed gearbox hunts like crazy. Yes I had one and sold it in under 2 years. Only good thing about the ranger is the tough looks, ride and comfort that's all. These Utes are light commercial vehicles, not heavy duty machineries, if you wanna tow a big caravan buy a Land cruiser TDV8. Dual cab Utes are merely small roundabouts. Triton is winner in my view. great value, strong Mivec engine, decent Aisin 6 speed gearbox, great super select II 4wd system, reliable. True it doesn't tow as heavy, then again you really shouldn't.

I know three people with Rolluxs Two buggered over the DPF issue and one okay so far he reckons... Hey maybe they send all the dud Rangers to South Africa and all the dud Hiluxs to Australia!

Woah really? It's so obvious that ur lying i have a fordd ranger with 150k km on it never had a problem maybe ur friends are just that stupid on maintaining cars

[@mosimanegapemasike113]

In South Africa we love the Hilux, no issues to date. I had a 2.7 VVTI D/C, it drove better that the XLT Ford Ranger we use at work. The Ford on tar is terrible but on gravel it is so smooth. The Triton looks good but does not sell well in SA and cant really comment on its ride quality but Toyota Hilux is the best in terms of comfort and ride quality. The sound system though Ford is the champion, the sound is incredible but all in all Toyota is the best of the lot, currently in the market for the Legend 50

I think you really got to give the Hilux credit for it's reliability, average life span and resale value. That thing will not leave you stranded for at least 20 years. I'm not sure that ranger will hold up for 10.

also forgot to mention the tow figure on the ford are bullshit, there is no payload left for passengers or cargo, the triton has an extra 800 kG of cargo..... do it properly, give ford back there cheque, also the mitsubishi is the only one with a proper gearbox cooler attached for towing.

I was in the market for my first dual cab ute this year. I test drove them all, even the LDV (no brand bias here). It came down to an Amarok or Ranger. The Amarok had the power advantage, but with limited rear leg room, safety concerns, no low range, and my pet hate, the indicator on the wrong side, I bought the Ranger. It is simply the best of the rest. In just about every comparison it mostly wins or comes second. I get this now, it has been impressive so far and exceeded my expectations of what a dual cab would be like to live with.

[@yuwindupathirage4806]

Considering the ranger and the hilux Ranger is rock solid with 3.2 5cyl diesel.. but the 2.0 4cyl doesn't do justice for the brand..technically it has 500nm of torque(50 more than the hilux) but it appears at relatively higher r.p.ms.. sure when you drive the hilux for 10kms on the outback and your spinal will break into atoms.. but the car itself will never break.. personally when I choose a car reliability comes in the first place and the rest comes afterwards.. so that my money will spent on the hilux...

[@bbardy3924]

value at 50k plus lol. So go to put bull bar lights and upgrade suspension. You have to upgrade the suspension because they cant handle real weights If you wanted to actually test it. Only putting 550kgs in the back is a joke. I put 800 kgs in the back of 2005 Holden ute and it could handle it, If you are doing actual 4wd you will be ripping out half of the standard stuff so you can go offroad. These utes are for the bosses who turn up and work sites for five mins and complain how hard their life is. They then drop their kids off to school and go for long lunches. I havent seen to many tradies with 60k ute that could handle real work

[@sramvokermvp278]

If i were to pick, the Toyota Hilux hands down. most consumers will just buy the cars they want purely for looks alone, specs, its capabilities and any other external factors that can only be seen or read by the naked eye, but reliability? Of course you can't see that, just from experience only, and for that, Toyota is no doubt the most reliable of the three here, and i prefer reliability more than anything because it is the more worth of your money in the long run LOL.

[@y4nnickschmitt]

Lol?

[@paulh4691]

Sorry mate, but the DPF issue alone makes the Hilux the least reliable, I know two people who have been through this ( one of them actually won and got a new car out of Toyota but it was apparently a hell of a battle), not to mention the limp mode air intake issue. Ranger is still the best.

[@paulh4691]

@guy proulx Probably because they are a few Roos loose in the top paddock and are clearly easily led by BS (in this case by a brilliant long running advertising campaign about being unbreakable).

Towing capacities stated in this video are misleading to say the least when put into context, GCM (Gross Combination Mass) must be looked at when towing. For example: Triton towing 3100kg allows for 743kg of payload, where as the Ranger towing 3500kg only allows for 222kg (1 bloke, towbar and a couple of tools, family would have to stay home). Even if the Ranger towed 3100kg, its allowable payload would be 622kg which is still less than the Triton towing the same mass.

[@jarrodzebra2369]

I've always looked at cars and subtracted gvm from the gcm and worked out maximum towing capacity from those two numbers. After all you want to add a bull bar and all the gear plus family for a trip away. For Triton it would be be 2985kg towed if you want full capacity of gvm For the Ford ranger it's 2800kg And hilux 2850kg So if you want to tow things "legally" using the whole gvm of your vehicle the Triton can tow more than both

Been looking for some time to replace the old duel cab ( triton ) .. I do like the Hilux only because it’s built incredibly strong , but the ride is hard , that’s the price you pay for a strong vehicle and the price you pay out of pocket ..the Ranger is great but bloody expensive and for what’s under the hood ,I don’t think the parts are up to the job for the power it delivers and also constantly hear of electronic tech problems .. I can’t help but going back to the Triton as a excellent all rounder not to mention the constant 4x4 on the road during heavy rain gives you great grip on the road for safety ..

[@gureno19]

If you want a tough, honest and extremely reliable Dual Cab..... buy a D-max or Triton. Reviewer's have an obligation to major companies like toyota and ford, and that obligation is to not throw the brand under the bus and tell you all the current issues plaguing the Ranger and Hilux, which are issues that the brands themselves dont want to admit to due to not wanting recalls. Do your research and review the claims being made by Ranger and Hilux owners, there is ALOT...... as opposed to the Dmax or Triton which has next to nothing. On the plus side, you'll save yourself $20k.

[@carsguide]

The D-Max is good, as is the Triton. (Read my reviews and/or watch my vids about those utes and you'll soon get the distinct impression that I don't mind them.) CarsGuide reviewers don't have an obligation to any companies to "not throw the brand under the bus". Our website (carsguide.com.au) deals with vehicle problems/issues/recalls in specific sections of the site, including up-to-the-minute news coverage of such things. As reviewers, our obligation is to deliver an honest and objective assessment of the vehicle being tested. We are beholden to no vehicle manufacturer. There isn't a ton of time or space in a review to cover owner problems/issues (actual, rumoured or perceived), which is why we deep-dive into them in those other sections I mentioned. Matters, such as Toyota's DPF issues, do get mentioned in reviews and then we indicate where more info can be found and it's then up to the reader whether they want to investigate further. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. - Crafty

@@carsguide Appreciate the detailed response, my sentiment towards Carsguide.com was largely due to the fact that I assumed it was still 50% owned by Newscorp and the ad revenue at stake across Newscorp's various media outlets from the likes of Ford and Toyota was far too large to jeopardise. I realise now that Newscorp sold carsguide.com a few years ago, so apologies. However, as informed consumers and viewers we know motoring journalists must tread very carefully around sensitive issues such as Hilux's DPF and Rangers gearbox problems, otherwise they risk being removed from future opportunities to review their branded range. Thanks for putting out the content that you can, i still thoroughly enjoy it. Cheers, Alex.
