Drag Race: 2024 Mitsubishi Triton vs Toyota HiLux - 0-100 & comparison

[@-CHeWy-]

I love the fact people wank over what they can tow, but never tow 50% of it.

[@alexjohnson3696]

Thanks for posting. I always enjoy your comparisons like this. However, it seems to me like there might be something wrong with that triton or the weather with horribly hot on whatever day you did the test as having driven. Both the Triton is comfortably faster. Anyway, thanks again and keep up the great channel

[@jaysechambers1144]

Also, It seems the Triton had (at a guess) around 30L more fuel in it - meaning more weight. But yes temperature/humidity may have come into too.

[@gilsaaandsonsconstruction1434]

Triton, always Triton...

[@johndavid5618]

☝️👌

[@gureno19]

Triton only makes sense at under $60k. Interior, refinement and driveability in the new triton is ahead of the current Hilux though, the N80 at this point is a 10yo interior and drivetrain, and it feels like it.

[@degamari]

Mitsubishi Triton GSR more highest feature advance Technology head to head comparison always number One winners 😂

[@timo2905]

You talk sense. I listened to every comment. tHx

[@PlumbBob-FGX]

Nearly a decade ago i purchased a new Hilux cab chassis. The price on the used Hiluxes was ridiculous. Having owned two Tritons previously their resale does hurt. Theres a long list of people after my Hilux. Its ridiculous.

[@Gerhard3838]

Good Video, very professional but I’m definitely not a fan of hybrids in the off road market.

[@raysalter6456]

Is it worth having the 48v system with the hilux?

[@HolyGrail98]

The best result for the hilux was still sport mode when you compare it to the triton when it reached 80kmh, big difference.

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

@@HolyGrail98 Watching the speedo is not the same as actual GPS-based timing with the Vbox. Sport mode doesn't unlock more power. I have seen results like this quite a bit with diesels. Sport modes end up over-revving the engine, thus making it slightly slower. For diesels that is. And not always - about 30% of the ones I've tested.

[@elishaemanuel8512]

Mitsubishi Triton GSR athletes is the best body robust very strong good handling stability fuel efficient higher technology

[@johnnumbat9782]

Thanks again DE - At last an honest opinion on towing 3.5 tonnes with a Ute or SUV as towing something heavier that your vehicle is absolutely moronic - the industry statement of 3.5 tonne towing capacity is an outright lie - a NSW driver was sentenced for six years after his wife and another family member were killed travelling downhill towards Port MacQuarie NSW - the overloaded Prado was apparently overtaken by an equally overload caravan it was towing (moving to new home) and crashed into a tree and ditch at speed - I’ve owned 12 Subarus and now drive an equally reliable Toyota Hilux - the Triton was my second choice but prefer the larger 3 litre engine for towing/touring/farm duties - an SA driver and his wife had to fly back from QLD/NSW when their new Triton’s engine broke while towing just a small 2.5 tonne caravan (possible ECU remap to increase power) - eventually they replaced the engine at great cost.

[@gort3969]

Besides offroad use and towing a van does everything else better. We used to get some cool vans here in australia but sadly just like station wagons the van market sucks balls

[@landrover1155]

Offroad stock MR and MV Tritons are significantly better than the rest. The 4WD 24X7 yearly ute shootouts make that clear. Cheers

[@Ross-e9o]

Ford and Isuzu are in big trouble for emmission reduction. 90% of Ford sales in Australia comes from the Ranger and Everest, 100% of Isuzu sales are old school diesel. I didn’t like being a Guinea pig on Toyota’s 48v system in the Hilux, that’s why I bought a GR.

[@PlumbBob-FGX]

Noiced the Hilux is hauling half a tank of fuel less than the Triton. No matter how hard you tried, you couldn't out run the Cicadas noise.😂😂😂😂 The hard core Tradies are starting to drive Cab Over Hinos and Isuzus. The over priced Show Ponies show up in Amaroks, Rangers, and Hiluxs.

[@SirDuxDucis]

Please test the 2023 vw amarok 2.0 biturbo. Would love to see it compete against the other utes in the segment.

[@diffuzn]

Was the triton in 4h or 2h?

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

2h

[@malitiemmanuel1321]

Good Question, because it makes a difference!

[@Southern21076]

Am getting a MR triton and I get smirked and laughed at when anyone ask what I get :( ( they all own Hiluxes )

[@johndavid5618]

It all depends on who the driver is....!! And what he is told to do....!!! ""Pple are not fools any more.!!! Toyota over priced.""Trition❤️👌

[@MEOW-rc1ht]

triton sucks. Steering feels heavy, slow and sluggish engine compared to the hilux gr which has 1GD 2.8L engine

[@Deadline-l1f]

Bi turbo??

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

@@Deadline-l1f The Triton is, yes.

[@daletroy3348]

Are the retained value % that you quoted recommended retail versus second hand sell price ? It appears that those recommended retail prices were without dealer and government charges ( on road cost ) am I correct in assuming this ?

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

@@daletroy3348 Yes, all prices are list price only, excluding on road costs.

[@KempeeEyasMusic]

Triton engine king of the world..

[@makywood9519]

I wouldn't buy a ute myself.

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

I think a lot of people buy utes when they probably need an SUV/crossover or wagon; usually safer, better handling, more comfortable, useable boot, easier to park, faster, quieter, more economical... the list goes on.

[@beno555ful]

Triton forever.

[@marvinmokmokmarvin8321]

Mitsubishi is always speed then hilux. And same relable engine i have both that car😅

[@craig3916]

I can't believe how pathetically slow cars are now. its like without commodores n falcons around to set the base level, everything has got crapper. even a base 6 cul aus sedan did about 7 or so seconds to 100km, n they weren't seen as fast. but people forget n want new n have to take what's on offer, which is garbage. lol

[@HolyGrail98]

These are utes, they are not designed to be quick. You want speed you get lighter, petrol engine, not a diesel, 2 ton ute. lol

[@joytech23]

To be fair, there are still some options just as quick for around the same money as the VF series SV6 and FGX. The i20N, Cerato GT, i30 N-Line, VW Polo GTI. I owned a Falcon G6E but my Cerato GT is just as quick with better fuel economy. The Falcon was comfier, but it missed out on all of the tech.

[@unna1996]

4wd Ute's not race car

[@gort3969]

@@craig3916 not only garbage but due to anti pollution devices unreliable overpriced garbage. Then they throw in driver assist technology designed for imbeciles and here we are

[@404errorpagenotfound.6]

Comparing Commodore and Falcon to off road diesel ute, do your parents know you are unsupervised on the internet?

[@reypogi6934]

A hybrid runs split second faster the triton. I always go for the lightest option. Easy on the tires, brakes, suspension, steering, engine- pretty much everything. But the triton is ugly. I'd drive it, not look at it.

[@jamesalu2538]

The new triton is slow put them against the 2021 to 2023 triton different results

[@929cosmodude]

"i don't think these guys will want to plug tools into these ute's... " lol have you ever met a tradie 🤣thousands of dollars on tools and almost everything is 18v, the 6kw 240v system is a massive drawcard

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

@@929cosmodude Yep fair enough. I'm talking about the majority buyers: mine workers, farmers, road workers etc. Keen to test it. Be great if they did an SUV version.

[@929cosmodude]

@drivingenthusiastaustralia i think the majority of drivers in dual cabs don't put them in 4wd or use them for work, they use them to drive around and take the dogs down the beach, this is from a tradie and I have a 2021 hilux 👍

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

@@929cosmodude Yeah that's not the majority of sales. Take out all fleet buyers and ute figures wouldn’t be as large. It will be interesting to see how it goes anyway. Just for example on what I meant: A guy comes and washes our dog every 6 weeks or something. He has a Triton and a trailer with a dog bath thing in it and uses our power every time. I've asked him about PHEVs and the ability to plug in V2L. He said something along the lines of; 'Why would I use my own power? I would have to increase my invoice then because it would cost me more to run this business if I'm using my power.' He currently has a big extension cord and plugs into customer garages etc. I think having the power outlet is definitely a handy thing, especially for camping and so on. But I don't think it will become a necessity thing that's all I mean. Definitely a great idea and doesn't hurt to have it. That's my opinion anyway. I understand if you don't agree.

[@929cosmodude]

@drivingenthusiastaustralia it's not that I don't agree it's just that I'm surrounded by tradies every day, I think you might be a bit out of touch when it comes to that, put it this way, are electricians, refrigeration mechanics and plumbers that are using servicing buildings using tools that plug in on site, I can tell you no.. I have to charge alot of my batteries at night at home ready for the next day at work, it would be a massive benefit to me, also alot of tradies don't kick around in the dirt, they are servicing the massive amount of infrastructure that is already there, repairing and maintaining and replacing utilities that we all take for granted.. disconnect your electricity water and communications and see how dirty the boots are of the tradesman that comes are 👍 not having a go I think that you probably just don't see the trades side of things

[@KatrinaNakale-v9q]

The isuzu is fast than this two cars

[@edwinjoson6688]

correct bro!

[@SteveSmith-zz4ih]

Comfortable seats are a must, Ford Ranger wins that by a mile, Hilux are very ordinary, Triton worsera, personal opinion, yes i have driven all 3 on trips. Lumbar control (drivers seat) should be in every model on every make.

[@AD28197]

Wow, I wasn't expecting the heavier Hilux spec to be faster. A fairer comparison would be the SR5 vs GLX

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

Agree, the Rogue isn't quite a direct rival to the GSR. Both flagships (aside from GR Sport), but not really spec-for-spec rivals. I will try and book in an SR5 soon to get some refreshed numbers. PS. It's worth noting the temp was a lot warmer on the day of the Triton test.

[@osama1929]

​​​​​​@@drivingenthusiastaustralia and the rouge 48v is considered as a mild hybrid, in other countries that system adds a little bit of power and torque of 12-15 kw power, 60 nm of torque, also if you consider other variables like weather there were not tested at the same time and the same day which would make a slight difference, not much but if a race was close as these given the same circumstances results would have been different to, so better if we can see an actual race that would be great, a 2023 non-hybrid hilux rouge would be the better comparison as well.

[@word1901]

that was the worst sounding drag race of all time god we get some awful vehicles in aus i miss the 4L V6 hilux also how does a vehicle pass the ADR when it's payload towing it's advertised maximum is 64kg pathetic that means most hilux with trailers i see on the road are as overweight as the people driving them

[@trevorwilson2966]

Avoid anything with a ford badge

[@osama1929]

I hope you do an actual drag race of these trucks, that is still the best way to compare them and see which one is better in a drag race, like you said although some elements would make a slight difference its still worth seeing what that difference would be should it had been done in a real world situation rather than a simulation.

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

Yeah it would be good but insurance starts to become an issue when racing side by side. Also, the Vbox results are not simulation. It's a 20Hz GPS data logger 👍 In this case the weather conditions were warmer during the Triton test, which may have slowed it down slightly. Ideally it would be more accurate with the same weather. I will try harder to match conditions next time.
