Hi, I'm planning to get a 4x4 pickup and both these cars interest me (2.5 at ). Can anyone share some information about the pros and cons of these cars ? On paper ,the mitshubishi wins in terms of engine performance and with it's intercooler turbo . Can anyone share some first hand experience about these cars in terms of durability ,ride comfort etcetc ? Thx

QUOTE(figure8 @ Jul 8 2010, 03:24 PM) get hilux, much2 better than triton. based on what ? I've tried hilux and triton today and i am really leaning towards triton . Its interior is much nicer , roomier , less bumpy and has more gadgets than hilux . The steering wheel is also leather ( and it looks stylish too ) , hilux is PVC . I can really feel the power on the triton and has a lower theft rate too . Btw , which car has bigger boot space ? And also , i was told since triton is mitsubishi's most sellable car in Malaysia , they would always have ready stock for standy . The only concern is fuel consumption, Anyone can share some light here ? This post has been edited by minde: Jul 8 2010, 03:36 PM |

QUOTE(ahsam1212 @ Jul 8 2010, 04:25 PM) What do u mean by boot space? U talking bout the flat bed? Both are quite big. U hv to measure up to know which is bigger. If u not going to use it too often, why bother? I assume u r buying it for personal use, and not working purpose, like carrying load. yea flat bed , used to sedan cars , dont know the right name for it . I do carry alot of stuff now and then , so worth knowing how big the flatbeds are .Fuel consumption is about the same. Expect around 15cent/km. |

QUOTE(kenkk @ Jul 11 2010, 03:10 PM) My view is depends on where U use it most. tested out the nevara , nice car and powerful but they give us leather seats and small flat bed . Abit unpractical , hard to maintain the leather if it was actually used as a workhorse car . Stained easilyOn highway, sealed roads, triton will be better as it has softer suspension. Hilux is higher and higher centre of gravity(cog). On a highway situation and cornering, u have to be careful. I m using a Nissan frontier, powerful engine but bad leg space at the back seat, hardly can get out of the back seat. But Navara has improves it quite a bit. havn't test drive the Navara yet, but the spec is good. ha s an advance engine( 5 speed n 6 speed) Hilux traditionally has good off-road capabilities, those ( old models) which have 4 leafs springs are good for plantation works. but all these utilities nowadays need upgrade work on the suspension before they are off-road capable. Otherwise prepare to get stucked! So really depends on nature of roads U use to drive most (70%) of the time....  |
