Increasing the power is merely a 5 mins job of installing the interceptor between the common rail sensor and ECU. And nah, it won't kill the truck for as long u service regularly. Remember, diesel engines are build tough unlike their petrol counterpart. Only think u have to worry is the turbo and electronics.

The basic 4D56 block remain the same from many generations. Only the head is different. In fact, u can take the head from a Triton and install onto a Mitsubishi lorry (can't recall which model) together with the electronics and she will fire up nicely. Now, due to the commercial nature of lorries, u can't modify it and expect Puspakom to approve it.

The Standard comes with manual gearbox and less accessories only.

The Lite is a waste of time. First, it has no turbo and not even an tachometer. Plus, road tax for Lite and Standard are the same. So, what is the point?

Brand new Lite is around RM 61k but 2nd hand 2007 full-spec manual is around RM 65k (if u look harder).

The only good point for Lite is that it can use rims from Evo and Airtrek (5 lug, PCD 114.3). With no turbo, u better not add heavy canopy or boot lid otherwise the FC will increase and u end up with a slow truck.

For Triton, different case as many only use on roads rather than off road. So, buying one used is OK. Remember to check the turbo for signs of leakage or tilting body. Accident on Triton is easy to spot so don't worry. Remember, a truck is using ladder chassis and everything is replaceable.
