QUOTE(Masculine @ Jun 29 2018, 03:16 PM) come on la... truck or 4x4 nowadays are not like last time one... I owned a triton... already 4 years la... 1st year in and out of jungle la main off road... now tired already The 700Nm torque is real. Feel like the aircraft take off acceleration damn good. Especially max out speedometer below 40 seconds. current 4x4 truck is drag racing style... engine management to increase toque and hp.. whooaa I tell you... 40hp gain is like having a steroid... pull you like a buffalo at the traffic light stop and left all those bmw and merc and also honda civic wanabies... lowered and change 20'rim and low profile tires... no longer off road tire... this I will do in near future... becoz I no longer go offroad...  |

i remember in Miri seeing a Mitsubishi Storm in deep red paint, flared wheel arches, wide tyres and lowered tastefully. one of the coolest vehicles i've ever seen.

I thought they couldn't afford to the expensive & large tires on the normal pickups so they bought the smaller & cheaper tires. Then get it lowered to avoid too much underskirt.

QUOTE(CoffeeDude @ Jun 29 2018, 10:14 AM) I noticed many pickup trucks from Thailand are lowered easy to load heavy goods and Thailand moi easy to climb up Did they do it to make it look better? Or could it be for safety and handling?  |

I think those lowered ones is the offroad version. More like utility truck.
Malaysia only got 1 model of such vehicle... Triton Lite. Its a 4x2.. not 4x4..... ... and the almost extict Proton Arena |
