agree with u about the service part........

I'm using the pickup mainly for city drive to replace my 8 years old manual Waja.

east malaysia also better off with auto
east malaysia also jam like west also...so better with auto
weekend drive manual thn ok...everyday drive thn will cry

Still valid? I visited Mitsubishi showroom few days ago to check out their RA version. And i was told they are offering free first 3 service including oil, filter and labour. Not sure if still providing 5 yrs free labour.

The RA version kinda nice man... Especially the leather seats. But 2.5 only...

not sure..need to visit showroom to know
maybe is promo
and i saw the RA on website....3 years warranty..2 years free service
and no..it's not 5 years free labour...it's real 5 years free service....everything included
this is what is told by my dad's fren
1 time saw him at SC also go home without paying

For real????

But Triton service interval is 10,000km if i am not mistaken.

For the 2 year free maintenance is for raya promo.. Or 40,000km...
1 month or 1,000km
6 month or 10,000km
12 month or 20,000km
18 month or 30,000km
24 month or 40,000km

Anyone know how much the 2 years maintenance for Triton 2.5 auto worth?

Anyone can share the maintenance cost for each interval (1k, 10k, 20k, 30k, 40k and so on) for Triton 2.5 auto?

Thanks.

Urm... I'm still new in Mitsu sale advisor.. For what I know is from 1,000km ~30,000km is change EO and filter.. 40,000km change EO,OF,LSD oil,brake fluid,transmission oil,fuel filter,air cleaner,coolant and totally FREE labour charge.. This package worth about RM 2500..

Agreed.... at least I can testify for KK.

I'll just add that Hilux 3.0 has great low-end torque .....

Anyone care to share the fuel consumption for Hilux 2.5 and 3.0?

Should I go for 3.0? Does it worth the 10k difference?

Thanks.

just curious, why is the D-Max not being considered?

3 year 300k??
WOW...you sure are heavy driver
how far did u drive per day actually
hilux is a very good car...the only downside is it's underpower
it's the most underpower of all if u check the spec...even d-max 2.5 have more torque then hilux

hows the auto tranny performance for those pickup?

Was just wondering, if the Hilux (both 2.5 and 3.0) is underpowered would a Unichipping or tuning the engine using AEM parts increase it to be on par with the rest of the 4X4?

This is assuming the warranty period is already over or the person removes the AEM tuning kit during servicing.

2.5 is underpowered, 3.0 is not.

Unichip can make 2.5 and 3.0 fast.

But a normal chipped truck can smoke the 2.5 very easily. Unless you are willing to spent a lum sum on upgrading the Hilux lah... Quite alot of stuff not compatible with Hilux. Plus they are little sensitive to play with the sensors.

Get the 3.0 if roadtax is not a issue for you.

Hilux has the looks and good for people who want tall ride with macho looking. (IMO)

Actually the 'tallness' of the car is dependent on the location of the drive
I'm looking for a tall car due to the proness of flood in the roads that I drive. Plus I frequently take the vehicle ferry. The height of the ramp is dependent on the sea tide. So if I get a normal car, there is chance that during high tide the car might scrap the ramp

So generally speaking the new Hilux 3.0 is better powered than its 2.5 predecessors? What about the consumption? I heard that the 3.0 is quite a heavy diesel drinker?

Hilux-Looks tough,underpower,bumpy ride,uncomfortable stiff rear passenger seat,reasonable consumption.
Navara-Toughest and meanest looks among other trucks,goes really fast,high consumption,reasonable comfort but still bumpy,uncomfortable stiff rear passenger seat
Triton-Aerodynamic look,has that aggressive styling from the honeycomb grill,2.5 diesel fast enough for a pickup truck,comfortable ride for driver and passenger(good suspension),feels like driving sedan,reasonable consumption and also good braking system.
Isuzu DMAx-Tough styling,worse uncomfortable ride especially rear passenger going through every bumper makes them hop.braking sux,consumption the best.
Chevrolet Colorado?-impressive toughness looks to take over the navara but no details about this truck yet.

if i were u i would rather wait for chev colorado or just get 2.5 triton
talk about lasting for 8-9 years?no one here can give a definite answer.all brands are reliable but depends on how the owner maintains their car

Chev colorado = Isuzu Dmax. Everything are the same except for the looks and interior.

DMAX brakes is very good bro. Have you tried one? True about the uncomfortable at the rear, but then most of the truck are also like that. Tough suspension too bro. And also state of art engine with don't use timing belt anymore. No fuel hand pump too.

Regarding the looks, very subjective since it's all down to personal preference.
