    • @anthonyramdin1037
      @anthonyramdin1037 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @fukthegoog yeah some countries include mine get the crappy, low spec models. As for the traction control it's actually pretty awesome until wheels leave the ground. It's slow to sense wheel slip and slow in transferring power to wheels that have traction. And often times when it transfers power to the wheels with traction, it's not enough to get out of the situation. And honestly I don't think the triton has the most uncomfortable ride, I think the Hilux will take that honor because the suspension is way more stiff than the Triton's.

    • @anthonyramdin1037
      @anthonyramdin1037 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @Mitch09 the triton has two 4wd systems. One is part time, one is full time. You probably have the part time 4wd system which is the easy select system. The super select 2 is the full time 4wd system.

    • @anthonyramdin1037
      @anthonyramdin1037 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @fukthegoog yeah diff lockers are the way to go. Traction control is only good in certain situations but lockers are great for any situation. Just upsetting that in certain countries these companies offer low spec models without the locker. But if you have an lsd it should get you through any situation.

Can you guys do a video of each of these utes in a 4x2 variant on a off-road course or even just a video to show case how capable a 4x2 ute with diff-lock can be?

    "Best family ute" unless of course you have an accident then it's the worst option given our has ZERO rear airbags.

    • @orangejuicepony6881
      @orangejuicepony6881 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Mitchy Paul it didn’t need ten in 2009 to get its 5-star rating, the Ranger PX didn’t have them either and it failed. The PX2 addressed this issue and added them and still scored the same as the Amarok for side impact.
      What you do t understand is safety is structural integrity and size first and airbags second. You are 1% safer in the Ranger.
      Good luck to you and your recommendations if you are T-bones at 80kmh because you are in for a rude shock.

    • @orangejuicepony6881
      @orangejuicepony6881 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Further to this neither the Ranger or ANY Ute has ever been tested for rear passenger safety. It is pure speculation to conclude the affect of rear seat passengers. It has never been tested.
      The only Ute to be tested on rear passsengers is the new X-Class as it came after 2017 when the ANCAP changed its requirements.
      You can download the reports from their website. Interesting both Amarok and Ranger scored the same on 60kmh side impact.

    • @bethoughtprovoking
      @bethoughtprovoking 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jake B, it all depends on the kind of work you do. If you need greater towing or hauling capacity, then you need a more powerful vehicle. That said, these mid-sized pickups are versatile and offer decent performance. The Hilux’s reliability and capability is legendary; speaking with Newsweek, Andrew Exum, a former U.S. Army Ranger and fellow at the Center for a New American Security, said of the Hilux that, “It kicks the hell out of the Humvee.” Qualitatively, the Hilux outperforms anything Ram or Ford can ever produce. But, according to real-world specs, the Hilux is not so little: it can haul a load somewhere in the whereabouts of 2300lbs, and can tow close to 8000 lbs. That easily covers many small businesses needs. Rams, unfortunately, don’t even make the reliability charts; they’re plagued - and always have been - with too many problems. The same goes for the Fords after the year 2000. American truck manufacturers are more interested in making profit by offering blandishments rather than making solid workhorses. You need a reliable heavy-duty truck? Get a Hino. Outperforms anything American by a mile!

    Buying a Dual Cab ute is easy. Pick the one that you like to look at because ultimately they are very similar in all departments. They all have plenty of power off road even at 130kw for the hilux (and producing good torque lower in the rev range). If you want a fast car don't buy a dual cab diesel ute as power is great but far from the most important factor. $2500 gets you great after market suspension and another $1500 on some good off-roading rubber and around $1500 for a differential locker and you are done.
    But ultimately the Hilux is the worst for price, Triton is the best for price.

    I've been in all four trucks before and I have to say, the Amarok is the only ute I properly liked.
    The Triton is a very good budget ute, but personally, I don't think it fits our needs.
    The Hilux feels too much like a work ute rather than a comfort ute, but it is definitely a tough ute.
    The Ranger felt sluggish and poorly-built, also, the reliability of them makes me dislike them.
    The Amarok takes power, comfort, and quality to a whole new level for a ute, a fabulous thing.
