I have a Triton and love it. Have done 45,000 km in a year with no issues. Cost heaps less brand new than the others and was the only model I could not find someone who had owned one who had had problems. Most of the guys around here who own one would go out and get another next time without a second thought. They are getting really common. Servicing only every 15,000 km and they are really reasonable to service too. Local dealer is outstanding for customer service. Have mates who love their D Maxs but they cost a lot more and I know a few who have had problems. Some guys wont buy a Triton because of image but talk is cheap and performance is everything in my opinion. You are very close to a Triton now. Save your pennies and then also get a 10yr 160,000 km warantee. Whats not to love about that? Buy once cry once. Cheaper in the long run.

heya Sneaka, who/where is your dealer?

Me old patrol just turned over 480000ks now,still going strong and doesn't burn oil.Its not a fast smooth slick machine like todays 4x4s,but still crawls over riverbeds,rocks and swims now and then.

I wouldn't buy a triton had 1 for 3years that I brought new done $100000km in it in these 3years & when I sold it it wouldn't tow a trailer very well 3 four wheelers on the trailer load side ways so nicely balance load & I couldn't do any more than 85km/hr but I had done a lot of towing round 2.5tone in the last 2months befor I flick it coast me $2k worth of break downs that weren't covered under warantee I think they good ute if you don't work them to hard & wate until you change the timing belt at 90km it's the same price as dmax owners at 45km I went to a dmax & man it's so nice to tow again & not have wory bot trailer taking over.

I have a MN triton, would never have owned one but took it for a test drive and was very surprised,  the warranty @10years 😎 been good so far.
I know one of the only problems is the EGR I blocks up and Mitsubishi are well aware of it the were just replacing the manifolds no questions asked.over here.

I have 2 boats a 4.5m tinny it doesn't even no its there, also a trailer and quad probably weights about the same.
My bigger boat well it knows that's hanging off it but is fine as long as you don't try passing a road train....

Wouldn't touch a Ford with a 40 foot barge pole, we currently have 14 Ranges with 50-80k parked up with various problems from the electrics to seized engines, dam you want to see lists of probems since new absolutely junk.

I'm afraid not,the Nissan cruises at a 100 to 105 ks most of the time,till I get behind a rental car or van ffs.Sitting up high I have a good view of the high way ahead of me.Drop her out of overdrive,or down to second gear,she has no trouble pulling 4500rpm with the 4.2 turbo kicking in,but I don't need to hit those revvs much.
Always get ALL filters changed getting  a oil change.
Go Nissan.

Rugersst quotes some pretty nasty facts with those Rangers. Other forums tend to back him up. Todays utes/cars are built with fuel economy and weight savings uppermost in mind. To hell with durability and longevity. There's pretty much no way any of today's generation of high performance electronic everything vehicles will reliably operate for 25 years/600,000km with just oil and filter changes, like those of us with Patrols/Cruisers have experienced. If you've got deep pockets or a business to soak up the losses, go for a new machine I guess. Or if you don't know what the underside of your ute looks like, I guess you have little option
