Thanks 👍🏽 we really needed a proper owners review

We own a 2019 MR GLS Premium and have done the bar work, snorkel etc for out off roading. I can certainly say we think the Super Select is just a massive feature. I mention it to friends with other brands and they just don't get it. I guarantee if they had it, they'd be loving it too. We also rate the traction control. Provided (as with all TC) you learn the revs required to use TC effectively, it really has an great TC. We've used the locker once at the back of Lithgow when we first bought it and before I had much experience, otherwise, even on very challenging, wombat hole hills, the right revs and the MR just does it. They are a great ute at the right price. Very reliable and not commanding stupid $ like a Ranger that has issues mechanically and Toyota because they can.

There’s a lot of hype about the new Ford Ranger which on the whole will appeal to Ford brand loyalists and those that conveniently ignore the reliability issues - I wouldn’t touch a Ranger with a barge pole and Ford’s woeful attitude to customer service - the newer Triton has come along way and you can’t beat better value for money especially that Super Select - I was lucky to get a 2010 Hilux auto in excellent condition just before Covid Jan 2020 for $18k - there’s no way I’m paying over 70k for a new one - Triton/Navara DNA pairing should be interesting.

Good intelligent and honest review young fellah - refreshing to see one based on the average trekker and not silly rock crawling beer mate scenarios- love the colour and good that you’ve sensibly managed your towing and tray weight - a worry when manufacturers happily push the ads with ‘3.5kg towing capacity’ promos which is just insane, false and very dangerous on the road - yes the Triton rear axle proximity to the cabin, like the previous gen Navara - will be interesting to see if that’s addressed with the new Triton/Navara pairing?

Great real-world review, there arent many genuine independent reviews out there any more.

Only complaints, Triton headlights are crap, and I had to upgrade them, the cost to get a spare key cut is insane, $600! for a key! That'd be my only gripes though, they are a great machine.
