Toyota HiLux vs Ford Ranger vs Mitsubishi Triton 2019 review
Who would have thought that the Toyota HiLux, Ford Ranger and Mitsubishi Triton would at times be battling for the top spot on the sales charts?
But that's the case, and dual cab four-wheel drives are the flavour of choice for buyers. So we assembled the HiLux Rogue, Ranger XLT and Triton GLS Premium in order to see how they compare to help you find out where you should be spending your money.

Triton is the smart choice. Might not be the best in category but does everything pretty well and is a sharp price. 👍
Owned the Triton for about a week and the more I drive , the more I fell in love with it!! Mitsubishi Triton is always the best choice.
Keep your sanity and save your money. Choose either Mitsubishi Triton or Isuzu Dmax.
Why does virtually every test that has a Triton in it forget to mention the fact that it has full time 4x4 on the Super Select 2 transmission?? It's a massive bonus over all the part time transmissions.
While you are totally right. The available drive should be mentioned. But I can tell you from 6 years of experience with a part time 4wd Ranger in sometimes wet and snowy Germany and alot of towing that not having full time 4wd has never been a problem. When thing get slippery you can still turn on 4wd on the go. And since there is about 350kg in the bed at all times and the Ranger has 265mm wide tires all around theres hardly ever wheelspin.
outdoors, spot on. already the super select 2 puts it on another level. safety when towing etc.
@@titaniumquarrion9838 Well, since a pickups main purpose is towing and hauling while maintaining high driving stability, you can't expect superb ride comfort without a payload. Every bit of comfort you gain while beeing empty, you loose on the stability side. Thats why the 2012 Ranger was the most rigid and stable towing machine in the segment. Because it is really stiff without weight on its back. And aren't there better choices for long distance gravel/ off-road trips than a pickup anyways?
I have the previous model triton and compared to a mates ranger I’d much prefer it. And both utes standard he couldn’t keep up out the bush 😂
@@deanzammit2705 well I don't know about the Triton. But the Triton equivalent we get in Europe is/ was (don't know about the newest model) no good pickup. I drove one since we were searching for a replacement for our 98 Mitsubishi L200 a couple of years ago, and I was disappointed. Towed and hauled like the 98 model. Except for some more power. It's also the model that snapped in half more than a few times. But I hope sure hope the newer L200 isn't like that anymore.
I never trust the data..sorry to say, overall I choose Triton is the winner
Definitely the Triton
Video just is THE MARKETING, only valueable one is selling amount... (even this can be fake), so.... Yes,, trust your own skill and experience maybe better
Triton. Best all round. best value, and IMO, looks the best.
It will break after 5 or 4 years nah
@@mohamedslimani874 our triton is almost 4 years from now.. with just proper care, it is still going strong till now. You can even just give it to a detailer and itll look good as new. And yes, im replying to a year old comment
Used Ford Ranger offroading for couple of years. = Belongs in the city. Expensive to maintain.
Reliability issues with the rangers transmission should really come under fire. Our rangers automatic transmission was replaced 3 times. The workers at ford said the company keeps brushing the issues under a rug rather than declaring recalls.. they don’t fully understand the issues so they can’t create a permanent fix. Issues including, overheating transmission, Locking in gears, computer glitches, and total lock up of wheels. Would have loved to have known before spending $50,000 on a Ute supposedly engineered for the Australian roads...
Yeah let's not talk about the Toyotas 2.8D dieselgate. My neighbour is over it and would trade his Hilux for a great Wall
Is that the same for the Mazda?
Sell it while you can
Don't feel too bad we have hi-lux Utes exclusively and they are falling apart in the cab especially and have had a lot of break downs, wish they had opted for at least a few tritons.
I have the last model Triton MQ 2016 utes done 200,000kms and still going strong no problems
is it automatic or manual transmission? any parts replaced?
Great honest review. Triton is still the best bang for the buck, and I guess that if we trough in some data about warranty and customer support, Mitsubishi should be a clear winner.
@@davidcenic3074 have you ever had a ford? If you don't just shut up
TOYOTA is always the best
Mitsubishi is still the best. Ford sucks in evry country
Agreed
David Cenic any 4wd you see these days is a soccer mums car.
Worth a mention when fitting child seats in the back, the triton is the only one that makes this easy, if you fold down the centre arm rest, there are zips that let you in behind the seat to pull the straps tight.
You forgot to say important topoc that Mitsubishi is the ONLY one capable to ride/drive 4x4 on highway/asphalt. Toyota nor Ford can do it!!!!
Obviously The Triton is value for money king at $51000 when comparing to any other Ute on the market in Australia.
Ssangyong Musso or the LDVT60
@@frankpinion4937 They are cheaper but not really 'up there' with the others in terms of performance and general refinement. They do the job with some features reportedly clunky. Resale on them is unknown and while the purchase price is a great place to start its possibly downhill from there as the total cost of ownership is not just the buy price but the sell/trade in price as well.
if the triton has screen mirror then you wouldn't need to add to the cost of the ute by adding sat nav as your phone can use google maps or another GPS ap. The 10k saved on purchase price also goes along way in modifications.
Triton has apple car play which allows you to use Google maps on the big screen etc.
@@Rushnak- even better. My MN triton has none of that but does have twin lockers
It’s pity you guys did not go into all the problems that the Ranger & Hilux have with warranty claims customer service & recalls etc. only have to go onto there FB page & read about all the unhappy customers. Triton would be my pick.
Darren Hodgson....exactly. they never mention ownership etc in these reviews. the importance of post purchase of a vehicle. the romance of the honey moon period dosent last long.....
Ford ranger add ! payed off !
i like the triton
Triton makes the others look outdated now which is a change from the previous generation version. Would still rather the 3.2l Ford motor but the Mitsi 2.4l is reliable and efficient
Agreed, but then we are not getting new Ford tee shirts for plugging the wrong ute
The Ford 3.2 is garbage. And not very efficient. Which is no wonder since it is old. So the new 2.0 ttdi should be the better choice. Haven't driven that unfortunately.
Yannick J. Not efficient , Please explain I would be very interested in your point of view.
@@dratempest610 not my point of view. Just facts. Claims 200hp and 470nm but clearly does not have those figures. I know since I tested a 2018 3.2 with Adblue back to back with my 2012 2.2. Both manuals and the 3.2 could not tow our maxed out trailer a tiny bit better than the 2.2. Furthermore on a steep Autobahn section I had to go from 5th to third gear. Maintaining about 25mph or so. While the 2.2 did about 43mph. So all in all the 3.2 is no more powerful, less efficient and way louder inside. Plus it likes to blow up without prior signs. Wich granted some 2.2s did as well. That discovery made me very dissapointed since I was planning to replace my "old" Ranger. And it's why I look forward to testing the 2.0 with 500!nm. Cheers.
@@y4nnickschmitt very interesting mate ,but here in nz we dont have to add adblue to the Ranger and Bt50 3.2 engines, they may have been detuned if my assuming is that you live in the northern hemisphere? As for power rating here I've seen the 3.2l I5 engine tested and after market remapping of engine management systems here and our standard 3.2's are running 147kw 470nm +/- 3% there abouts and after turning (there is several different stages) anywhere from 150-175 kw and 490-580nm just with engine management tuning, all the while returning much better fuel economy! Its quite surprising how detuned the engine is. Obviously different rules and regulations on diesel engines and emissions for different countries.
triton with its technical specification tops this two UTEs. no contest its Mitsubishi
The engineers for each brands seems to ignore every complaints, make a new models they still does not rectify or make improvements. Why was it like that??
You need to add another category: Which brand gets to visit the dealership for repairs THE MOST FREQUENT?
And who has the most manual owner maintenance required such as doing your own burn off because the system is too hard to get it right, oh hang on only one company does that whats next do your own service at a set price and 33% more frequently than every one else.
& Expensive parts=Ford
Haha not in a million years
@@Sabumnim666 FORD!!!!
@@danielbredenkamp3957 Rather ford than a over priced under delivering old tech con job
The new MR Triton is the best off road hands down... and having the ability to go between 2wd, AWD (for use on sealed roads, wet, gravel, etc), 4wd HI and LO range is a game changer.
LSA711 lol
They have a habit of transmission failures under consistent towing applications.
The transmission failures, were in the 4 speed MN Model, MQ and MR have had no issues with gearboxes
time will tell on this new series.
@@bradward8748 yep exactly mate, the 6 speed auto in the MR trtion is bloody good.
what about the ldv t 60 what do you think of theses utes the 2022 or 2023 should i get one or should i go for a ford ranger 2019 or 2018 would love to hear what you think
Triton has realistic towing and it GMV is far superior. The other 2 can only have the driver and a tank of fuel before you are over the the legal GMV. You can take the boat but not you mates and the gear if you buy the Ford or Toyota.
I used hilux for almost 8 years now..never gave me headache for one bit!
Truth
THATS BECAUSE THE OLD ONES FELL NICE
Try Ford Ranger, you will just immediately regret not buying a hilux. 😂
@Gen Vuelham to be honest toyota has a good reputation in terms of durability than ford.
@Gen Vuelham yeah your right the spare parts are so expensive although it is comfort
Ford and Mitsubishi Still fighting after WW2
😂😂
Can't argue with anything in this review but unfortunately reliability and build quality can't be tested and being mainstream media you guys can't honestly offer an opinion on after sales service either. For these reasons I believe anyone seriously looking at buying one of the cars involved in any such review should do far deeper research on each make/model.
Yep, well said, as with all car reviewers if they are entirely honest and slag off a car maker's vehicle they will end up blacklisted and have no vehicles from that manufacturer to review, always worth bearing in mind, they are publicity slaves to the manufacturers.
Well said
@@RobG001 you nailed buddy, i wouldn't take any of these guys opinions seriously. My pick win terms or after sale and reliability would be Toyota
@@Xyb3rTeCh what do you mean by Toyota having cheap plastics? please explain further
@@Xyb3rTeCh I have had any disappointments with Toyota personally. I love it and not thinking of any brand
All the people that comment "What about Colorado, what about Dmax...etc..." I think you didn't hear him say at the start "These are the top 3 sellers" .....and yes I drive a Dmax and recommend it....I do also like the new Triton though.
The dmax is really aimed at a different niche... If your looking for unbreakable toughness these days, it's Isuzu you go to, not Toyota
Reliability should be a major component to these reviews. This is why I'll go hilux time and time again. I've had mine since new in 2019 and haven't had a single issue with other than standard servicing. Its been offroad more than the average owner and I'm always impressed with its ability to manoeuvre over anything. A few mechanic mates have said to me the most frequent dual cab they see in theirs shops is the ranger. They rarely see a hilux.
I fully agree with you plus hilux is the best offroader & it has more power than the Ranger... Ranger has cheap plasticy interior while the Hilux has some soft material on the dash & a cumfy stearing wheel tham the Ranger
Ranger at 60k miles transmission and electronic will break
pretty spott on review, they were honest with every brand with their good and bad points, but they tested top spec mitsubishi, practicly base model ranger and top spec hilux the wildtrack should of been used, but after watching i know the real reason for this review, good job guys and i would say all three trucks would make people happy just comes down to personal preference but ford ranger is my pick then triton then hilux
I think you really got to give the Hilux credit for it's reliability, average life span and resale value. That thing will not leave you stranded for at least 20 years. I'm not sure that ranger will hold up for 10.
it has resale value because they sell it at a high price. It evens out
We use a GLS Premium Triton, probably could be better at towing our 2150Kg empty van where it uses 18 liters per 100km, about half that otherwise. It is an excellent low cost operator , and you get a lot of value. it has done 87,000km not sure where to go next
Horses for courses - my Toyota 2.7 gave me 17 years with one clutch replacement - with zero other work required - took me 1 week to sell it for the equivalent 9000 Aus dollar - I had a choice between buying the Ford Ranger 3.2 XLT or the Toyota’s 2.8 - I did not find the Toyota’s ride on tarmac harsh at all / in fact it was too soft for my liking - hence the Ranger was way to soft stock - I tow my boat with ease as well - I personally find the interior of the Toyota far more robust & with more storage spaces and can take full size mugs - the doors feel more solid - the Toyota in low range is a beast off road and will easily tackle grade 3-4 off road tracks which I’ve done with OEM tyres - I’ve now put in an Old Man Emu 2” lift & more aggressive AT tyres - I recently hired a Ford 2.2 and did 1000km in Namibia - where the Ford wins is in the comfort of the front seats - way better than the Toyota & brilliant fuel consumption averaging 7,7 ltr per 100km - if anyone is on a budget I would look at buying this older model - just upgrade the suspension & better tyres Unfortunately Ford Ranger has zero resale value compared to Toyota in South Africa - so if you’re one of those people that like to keep the same 4x4 for over 6 years - you will get nothing for a Ford 10 yrs down the line
Il pay for the ford
If it lasts 10 years it pays itself and u will get another 10 out of it
Just purchased the 2019 triton premium plus Pack in a club cab set up .....fixed price servicing for 3 years ($200) 7 year parts warranty....tinted windows ...ceramic coating on paint ....everything the top of the range gls has except carpet ....$40890.00 drive away ....talk about more bang for your buck
I have just bought a vrx triton and i dont like the harshness of the ride and the older model is nicer on the road. the ute for towing is all over the road , have dropped tyre pressures to 30 lbs and it helps a little. Im towing a tandem 24/7 and very bouncy.
I was in the market for my first dual cab ute this year. I test drove them all, even the LDV (no brand bias here). It came down to an Amarok or Ranger. The Amarok had the power advantage, but with limited rear leg room, safety concerns, no low range, and my pet hate, the indicator on the wrong side, I bought the Ranger. It is simply the best of the rest. In just about every comparison it mostly wins or comes second. I get this now, it has been impressive so far and exceeded my expectations of what a dual cab would be like to live with.
Considering the ranger and the hilux Ranger is rock solid with 3.2 5cyl diesel.. but the 2.0 4cyl doesn't do justice for the brand..technically it has 500nm of torque(50 more than the hilux) but it appears at relatively higher r.p.ms.. sure when you drive the hilux for 10kms on the outback and your spinal will break into atoms.. but the car itself will never break.. personally when I choose a car reliability comes in the first place and the rest comes afterwards.. so that my money will spent on the hilux...
@@yuwindupathirage4806 Honest question... I get the whole "unbreakable" catchphrase, but that came from the previous generation. The new Hilux is a COMPLETELY NEW engine, who actually knows if it is as unbreakable as years gone by. They haven't been around long enough to earn that badge.
@@1989cranston the same question came up back in the day when TOYOTA replaced their unbreakable(TOP GEAR proved it with a hilux) 5L engine with the new 1Kz.. but toyota got it right. 1kz held the badge in the same way that it's predecessor did... then again when they replaced it with the 1KD(The engine you find in the previous hilux) the badge was still holding by TOYOTA.. quite a time later when the 1KD got replace by the 1GD(which you find in the newer hilux) the same thing will surely happens.. toyota will hold the top reliability badge..no doubt in it.. so there you have it sir.. I guess you might have got the answer for your question. .😀
@@yuwindupathirage4806 what lol. I got zero answer to my question. Because as you literally tried to point out is that only time can answer it, not assumptions which is what you are basing your response on.
@@1989cranston despite the fact that the predecessor was reliable.. you need time to prove that the new engine is reliable enough.. that's what you meant right?.. so what I've been trying to tell is every single time when TOYOTA replaced a engine.. the successor was reliable in the same way as the predecessor... in that point this new engine which you find in the hilux should be reliable enough as the engine which it replaced...
$60,000 to rich I have the triton GLS for $43000 still to exxy for a ute. It does everything I need it to and is eco to boot. AWD capable on the fly they always seem to avoid that benefit, makes it an extremely safer vehicle.
well it might be nice to see what features they have and where the main differences are, but if you decide to buy a pick-up truck or any car, go look at the used car offers and see which one is really reliable and worth its money.
Sponsored by ford All ford Next time just review fords
Haha...Hilux lovers 👎👎
In your face😂😂
Yeah I like the triton, can you lie and say that’s the best?
Triton is worth the money
The Fallen sure right 😂
a real world test would be awesome... factor in budgets, living costs, and bang for buck. and right then, the Triton will always come out on top. yes there are some shortcuts to keep the price down, but its certainly not an unreliable ute.
New Triton is the best..
in practice, they are just as good, i think. Ford often has costly technical defects. I have been driving off-road for a living for 30 years, forest - sector, in Finland. Now i have Skoda Scout 2.0tdi for longer trips and an old Mitsubishi pajero to hunting with dogs and bad conditions and shorter trips for a work, with OME 40mm lift. Just did test drive the new mitsubishi L200(triton) and i have to say its perfect every way.
I have a Ranger PX2 xlt with tech pack and i only use one of the tech options (adaptive CC) the rest of it is rubbish! Also had glow plugs and injectors replaced at 90k 👎 Thinking of going with tje Triton
Triton doesn’t need sat-nav when apple CarPlay has iphone maps
What if you don't have a iPhone ? Ops
@@bulletstee9118 it also has Android Auto which basically means Google Maps
Nice review
I think you guys were fair enough in this review compared to other biased reviews from other channels. You didn't mention everything worth mentioning which would have made the review a bit more fair and really would have shown the differences between the vehicles. The ranger is a really good vehicle other than reliability. The hilux has never really been all that it's said to be past and present. It's just too overrated and I can't see why it's so popular when it has so many problems with the dpf. The triton is the best all rounded, the most reliable and the most sensible choice. Can't see why people look past it and always underestimate it. I do think however that the triton is better in 4low with the diff lock on than the Hilux. As I've seen in the past the Hilux struggles in really slick mud when compared to the triton. So there's that. Would go for the triton over any other pick up because it's really the best in my opinion. It's safe, strong, reliable, really powerful for a smaller displacement, awesome off-road, comfortable on road etc. Cheers guys.
Will a booster seat fit in an extra cab?
Triton looks the best
That Diamond Shield Fascia Design
nah they looked better before the update... I want to get one but I can't find one new that doesn't have the facelift
If i were to pick, the Toyota Hilux hands down. most consumers will just buy the cars they want purely for looks alone, specs, its capabilities and any other external factors that can only be seen or read by the naked eye, but reliability? Of course you can't see that, just from experience only, and for that, Toyota is no doubt the most reliable of the three here, and i prefer reliability more than anything because it is the more worth of your money in the long run LOL.
Lol?
Sorry mate, but the DPF issue alone makes the Hilux the least reliable, I know two people who have been through this ( one of them actually won and got a new car out of Toyota but it was apparently a hell of a battle), not to mention the limp mode air intake issue. Ranger is still the best.
@guy proulx Probably because they are a few Roos loose in the top paddock and are clearly easily led by BS (in this case by a brilliant long running advertising campaign about being unbreakable). Those issues I mentioned are not a conspiracy and are quite real kzhead.info/sun/mL16ZbWRnWWQdp8/bejne.html and I know two angry fella's who have suffered because of the DPF issue. I am not anti Toyota by the way - in fact the last Ute I owned was a Hilux..
Have always been a Hilux man, and always will be. But the price is getting out of hand, with little to justify it. I'm sorry to say I'm about to purchase a ranger!
Hmmm. I chucked the Colorado in as well. I bought the Ranger. So far very satisfied.
Ive liked the Mitsubishi looks better and cheaper with good options
Hilux have always proven themselves to be longer lasting on the mine sites here in Australia Ford and Mitsubishi simply didn't handle the constant mining abuse the HiLux does they simply fell apart so have to give it to Toyota for all round reliability In saying that as a personal use four-wheel drive that won't break the bank I would buy a Triton they are one of the most underrated 4x4 and I would never put my person vehicle through the same abuse as a mine vehicle anyway i have always loved the looks and features of the Ford Ranger but just can't justify the price and ongoing costs of parts and servicing I didn't have a budget I would go the ranger so this review is very well done good work guys
1. Mitsubishi L200 Tritón 2. Toyota Hilux 3. Ford Ranger
Awesome video, you got it spot on!great review
Mitsubishi will be my very choice. Winner of Paris Dakar rally, aluminium engine, fuel efficient, reliable, still driving my dads pajero and intended to purchase the new triton for my business.
You don't mention that the Triton is the only one that has 4wheel drive available on high traction (i e road) surface . Or 10 year warranty. Or accurate GVWeight/towing. For comprehensive information see John Cadogan.
How can you chose a winner if you not comparing the diesel consumption and to me, it is very important
Ranger surely not the best. 2 litre TT engine is too puny and highly strung for a 2.5 tonne caravan (Turbo generated horsepower from a small engine just no substitute for displacement in a towing scenario). 10 speed gearbox hunts like crazy. Yes I had one and sold it in under 2 years. Only good thing about the ranger is the tough looks, ride and comfort that's all. These Utes are light commercial vehicles, not heavy duty machineries, if you wanna tow a big caravan buy a Land cruiser TDV8. Dual cab Utes are merely small roundabouts. Triton is winner in my view. great value, strong Mivec engine, decent Aisin 6 speed gearbox, great super select II 4wd system, reliable. True it doesn't tow as heavy, then again you really shouldn't.
I went through buying a new ute a while back and these are the three that I narrowed it down to. I knocked the Hilux out pretty early, due to its reliability issues (mainly the DPF one) and because it was simply too uncomfortable to be used as a family wagon which is most of its duty for me, and it just felt dated compared to the other two. The battle for me was between the Triton and Ranger, and I still think the Triton would have comfortably done everything I need a ute to do, but in the end I concluded that I was quite happy to pay 9k more for the Ranger (3.2l), because it does it better and importantly for me, It also looks a much better and whatever people want to say about that not being important. In my experience, I get more joy and happiness out of a vehicle that makes me smile when I see it than one that is not pretty, (like my wifes Mazda 3). Your conclusions on this one are pretty much exactly what I came to so I'd say you are spot on with this one! Good on Mitsi for trying to improve the look, but I just don't think they have quite got there..
I hate to say it but i think a mazda 3 looks better than all 3 of these....
@@dayspoiler4608 Looks a bit too Zoom Zoom to me, especially those tail lights They should paint eye lashes over them and they would look cool.
We think that if we could get the Triton over here in the US that it would sell well. Great comparison video - thanks for sharing!
It definitely will be popular as American trucks are way too overpriced and frankly can't compete with the triton.
Pajero Sport as well, the US needs more off-road vehicles.
Triton square looks is masculine, with good strong 4 shiny legs
Been looking for some time to replace the old duel cab ( triton ) .. I do like the Hilux only because it’s built incredibly strong , but the ride is hard , that’s the price you pay for a strong vehicle and the price you pay out of pocket ..the Ranger is great but bloody expensive and for what’s under the hood ,I don’t think the parts are up to the job for the power it delivers and also constantly hear of electronic tech problems .. I can’t help but going back to the Triton as a excellent all rounder not to mention the constant 4x4 on the road during heavy rain gives you great grip on the road for safety ..
What about fuel efficiency and reliability?
Factor in reliability, cost of repairs, downtime at the dealership and general build quality you'd have the Ranger at #4 at that trio ... its piece of junk
JMark Lopez Heard customer service from Ford and GM are woeful and don’t give a stuff about customer’s problems with vehicles. Anyone had first hand experience?
Just like my wife's RAV4
Triton is the best. Get a 6 speed Ranger to be fair.
So can you tow in automatic without the gearbox blowing up or do you have to use the manual modes in the trucks or utes in this case

Ahh good ol Nowra 👍
Triton is underrated. The triton ticks all the boxes including speed. It’s hella fast!! You can feel it when the MIVEC engine kicks in. There’s a little bit of lag but when its there, you can feel that theres a lot of power in it. The toyota hilux however, theres no lag, the timing is on point when you press the gas but theres no enough power it can give. Theres no question why triton ticks all the boxes. It may be the least powerful in papers but mitsubishi used a higher standard when it comes to performance. Reliability wise, theres no problem with that at all
Is the transmission of the Hilux and Triton clunking or jerking upon startup also? Because Ford’s thriving in KZhead for clunking upon startup.
I have driven all 3, I know the one I like. Should have known this would be another Ford advertisement😒. I thought the Ford engine was guttless until into the revs, Mitsubishi 4wd system is frankly Brilliant, Hilux ride is harsh and its too expensive. What they didn't say is with full tow weight on the Ford and toyota, you can't put anything in the tray, the Triton can still carry 750kg in the tray at full tow weight👍
agree 100% the cvm make the ranger a lunchbox when towing a full weight trailer , 3 people will max you out , TRITON WINS ! (yes i have had all 3 , the hilux is so rough had to get my spine fixed !
I have a Triton and whit catch can and throttle control it has more power on towing and off road
Never own a pick up truck.go triton nice design.👍👍👍👍
Great review! Evenif i womt buy any one of this, I liked review
So top of line models arent considered big bucks?
Mitsubishi Triton is the best choice ppl. This video doesn’t do any justice to the Mitsubishi Triton. As a Triton owner I can gurantee you this one is astonishingly better than a Hilux in all levels. And good price range. It’s a lovely family pickup too. You’d never go wrong with this decision
The triton can have a a 3.5 tone towing if you spend some more money
Great review. Personally I wouldn't touch the Ford given their reliability in recent times as well as their "once you've paid your worthless" customer service policy. Toyota want way too much for the Lux. I'd take the Triton. Knowing it and the Toyota will be running on original drivetrains in twenty years and the Ford will be on its 3rd engine or relegated to junkyards.
Once paid your worthless discibes most dealers. Not sure what reliability issues your talking about either.
@@Deatomizer Mitsubishi tends to look after their after sales customers in the hopes they get a better name and more customers later on. Reliability issues with Ford? Ranger gearbox failures Ranger electrical issues Ranger fire problems Fiesta and Focus class lawsuit for knowingly negatively impacting customers on purpose with gearboxes that were designed with failure in mind. Mustang GT cracked intakes and engine castings Focus RS head gasket failures Then there's the dodgy stuff like when they introduced Ranger with the 3.2 and sneakily never told anyone they put a non priming oil pump in it leaving garages and private owners out of pocket $15000 per engine after an oil change and the thing would sieze up. Then with the new 2.0 in Ranger they put in a belt driven timing belt and oil pump, sealed from access for the life of the engine and they advised journalists the life span is 7-10 years. That's what I meant.
@@OFFICIAL_VIDEO_AWARDS Well-said. Couldn't agree more!
You guys dont know anything about pick up trucks. Hilux is the most reliable and will never break down and get you everywhere while the Ranger always breaks down and always leaks oil like any ford would do!
The new hiluxes we have at work are shithouse..the electronic stuff is way to obtrusive and turns off the disabled driving when it wants too...

Towing capacities stated in this video are misleading to say the least when put into context, GCM (Gross Combination Mass) must be looked at when towing. For example: Triton towing 3100kg allows for 743kg of payload, where as the Ranger towing 3500kg only allows for 222kg (1 bloke, towbar and a couple of tools, family would have to stay home). Even if the Ranger towed 3100kg, its allowable payload would be 622kg which is still less than the Triton towing the same mass.
I've always looked at cars and subtracted gvm from the gcm and worked out maximum towing capacity from those two numbers. After all you want to add a bull bar and all the gear plus family for a trip away. For Triton it would be be 2985kg towed if you want full capacity of gvm For the Ford ranger it's 2800kg And hilux 2850kg So if you want to tow things "legally" using the whole gvm of your vehicle the Triton can tow more than both
Triton design 👍♥️
Every 4x4 ute in this range i have looked at the reviews and the Mitsubishi Triton wins every time for value for money reliability this review all it seems to do is tell us how good Ford is the guy I work for bought the latest Ford ranger it broke down on him in six months rubbish my mate bought a ranger regretted buying it im sorry the Ford ranger reviews are like the last Australian elections they told us bill shorten wone before it even started and the reality was quite the opposite.
Why would you try to tow a 3500kg caravan/boat etc with a vehicle that weighs 2000kg (triton). There's a difference between being able to "tow" it and being able to hang on to it if it gets loose. These 3500kg towing capacity figures are a joke. If that much weight got twitchy at 100k's, kiss your a$$ goodbye. Out of this lot, the Triton is a clear winner for value for money.
Will choose the Triton anytime..
They are all comparable in specs, But if you were to do a solo trip across the Simpson what would be your vehicle of choice?
*cough cough* 4.2 or 4.8 patrol
This issue with this test, the triton is a value car its not meant to be bought for 50k
In Malaysia a car with the highest sales value is hilux...
resale value is the highest compared to everything else.
And try to name other double cabs that sell used just as good. The disputable answer is..none!
Mitsubhishi all the way...
triton is monster in offroad
For sure I Head 1 very reliable
people get hiluxes so much but the triton is the affordable hilux killer
I choose Mitsubishi because driving performance very good i trust Mitsubishi the rally Dakar champion, to become a champion your car must be very perfect, heavy duty, faster, never broke down for long times
"...Aussies love them more than life itself..." 😂😂😂 That's a testament to the affinity of Australians to utes! Very useful utes are indeed! Here in the Philippines, utes are always my top choice! I've driven Toyota Hilux, Nissan Frontier Bravado, & Isuzu DMax for long years already! Very functional, decent utes!
Bro toyota has proven itself for many many years never break down not like a ford ranger and mitsubishi that cant handke the pressure in the bush and forestry. U can do 300k plus out of a hilux only about 70k out of a ranger and things start packing up.
Sorry to burst ur little cocky bubble but we had a ranger 5years and it managed 350k b4 we had to recondition the fuel injectors due to the low quality fuel we provided with,we traded it for the legend 50 and I promise it's demotion in terms of driving prowess and fuel economy
Toyota fanboys hates this video
Can you blame us?
This review kinda feels biased u forgot to mention a lot of small features about the triton including price.
Which one is the highest horse power
Ford Ranger
How is $7800.00 less for the Triton put it in the same class as the other two? D S.
As towie never picked up any of them !!
Mitsubishi Triton the Dakar rally champion moving forward in shape technology
Hilux looks really good
