Turn turtle only occur to those who haven't driven a truck or drove a truck like a car.

In reality, a truck can do more for less money.

Examples... flood in KL, with a truck u merely drive back home, have dinner with family and sleep peacefully. With a car, u be cursing due to jams, have to spend money if engine is flooded, miss dinner with family and swearing / angry at anything. Trust me, I used to be like that before I bought the Triton. Now, life is rather peaceful.

Trucks can be driven fast provided u make the following changes and spend lots of money.

1. Suspension - full set upgrades including springs
2. Stability absorbers - a must for high speed driving
3. 400kg of weights in the rear trunk - mandatory for high speed cornering
4. Good set of tires - AT or AT Special will allow truck to travel almost anywhere
5. Skillful driver - many years driving a truck and knows all the limitations.

If u have none of the above, don't bother chasing a 325 or 740 on the highways.

I dont agree with the bold part, not everyone takes their trucks for off road. Some owner like me, i use my truck to carry machinery and stuff, and sometimes two of my golden retriever too


I couldn't agree more !!

+1000000

Best part is... I don't stop for speed bumps... unlike cars. At speeds over 40kph, just drive and jump!

Try doing that on a car and u risk changing both front absorbers, mountings, oil sump and even drive shafts. Have seen a bunch of Ah Bengs trying to play catch up with my Triton and end up calling the tow truck after they crack the oil sump after hitting a speed bump over 50kph. Muahahahaaha!

that is evil... but i like! hahaha...
recently just acquire a black Hilux (1.5yrs already, not new) been jumping over humps & trying "very hard" not to aim for pot holes, as its alluring that you can just ease through it.

didn't try any other pickup before but i like how the Hilux look. rugged yet sleek in other ways, compare to D-Max, Triton. Don't see a lot of Navarra though but you do see Hilux everywhere.

but, i agree, the Hilux interior could make you puke.

Now, nemesis for truck drivers are Myvi and Alza... they zip here and there. Even today, I have to air horn an Altis owner for trying to zip into my lane in heavy traffic... watching the fella swerve back to original lane is satisfying...

dapat 5.7l bawak balik malaysia
road tax like hell
hahahaha
pay government for nothing

the tundra is famous in the us though

bro, how's the navara treating u?
while i already booked the navara and getting it sometime next week, i'll be going for a test drive on a triton and the defender 110 tomorrow
just wanna have a feel on how these cars will fair under my control

Navara is great... but since it is already powerful, only add Aeroklas Sport Deck and Hella horns.

For Gods sakes.I just hope you have not bought a Mitsubishi! Its a pile of rubbish compared to Toyota.I suggest you go for Hilux Vigo 3.0 d4d.Its the best truck for reliability and resale.163HP and with a power chip close to 200 horse.1KD engine hard to beat.Navarra supposed to be powerful, but I would be sensible and buy Toyota for long term reliability....

Who buys Mitsubishi? Its crap! Just look at Pajero! Ha ha.Underpowered failed vehicles

good explaination..

At first glance that might be true about the reliability and resale. But other brands are already catching up in terms of reliability. For performance, comfort, technology, ride handling even the new hilux lags behind. Just because they produced excellent hiluxes before in the past, doesnt mean that the current one is as good. The triton isn't so bad either. It actually outperforms the hilux.

I myself have a hilux. But i would rather get a Dmax if I had to choose a new pickup.

Dear all Hilux or Triton owner....actually this type of vehicle is design for jungle or kampong use....our city parking area space is limited and road built quality is good, is not need drive this type of vehicle
if u still want drive this type of vehicle in city u are consider is SAKAI...I saw many this type SAKAI in KL city.......

Calling people sakai, ish, you're the one seems to be just got out of the jungle. Get a life.

Ahahha attacked by sakai ......really Sakai forum......advise don't buy this type vehicle in city...if not u are another SAKAI....

Triton always have SCV problem. In 5 years, I replaced 3 times and each cost me RM 800 bucks. Now my truck up for sale.

SC diagnosed mine with SCV problem but the thing, I don't have problem going on flat road but only when going on a steep incline. Do you think mine is really an SCV problem? What your symptoms having yours replaced 3x?

1. Sudden power loss
2. Engine dead on hard acceleration

Made a complaint on Mitsubishi FB but they blocked me instead. Lost faith with Mitsubishi branding. Selling my truck for kimchi brand now. RM 55k as it is with accessories.
