Details

1. The car is being sold to support a new business venture, there is nothing wrong with the car in the slightest. It was a demo from the dealer, it has been meticulously serviced and cleaned.
2. The car itself is in fantastic condition, it has been offroad, and on the beach, as you can see in the photo's, it gets thoroughly cleaned after every trip, including a guerny into the underbody to make sure it's clear of sand. (make sure you flush the chassis rail if you ever take it on the beach)
3. Nobody has ever smoked in it, no animals have ever been in it, and it has the mounting points to put a baby seat in (we upgraded to this from our two door for just that reason).
4. The triton has a standard sedan chair in the rear rather than the bench seat most dual cabs have, so passengers in the rear are as comfortable as in a normal car.
5. The electronic rust protection works great for general use, but if you are going to spend ALOT of time on the beach it should be upgraded to a beach specific kit.
6. Easily tows through the rough stuff, our heaviest load was a 23ft Jayco caravan weighing in at 2300kg, you couldn't even tell we were towing it.
7. Electric windows, including the back window which is controlled from the center console. Power remains on to wind the windows up for 30sec after you turn the car off.
8. 4WD is selected from within the car while moving, as is the diff lock, no need to get out and do anything. To put it into low range you stop the car, shift the stick, and your off again.
9. The fridge is included in the sale. The 35lt Waeco is the ONLY fridge of a decent size that will fit under the hard cover at the back of the tray, where it is easy to reach and use.
10. The roof rack is(was, there may be others now) the only rack that attaches properly on the triton and doesn't clip on under the car door. It is mounted in the rain channels on either side of the car. (This one rated to 150kg compared to 50kg for clipons)
11. Height of the car is 1.9m, including the roof racks (normal carparks have 2m clearance at minimum), and there is a handy sticker on the drivers side at the top of the windscreen to remind you of this.
12. The tires work fantastic offroad, are not too loud on the blackstuff, and are not slippery in the wet. Still 95% tread left on them.

Damage
There is one slight bit of damage on the car. The bottom edge of the rear protection bar has a 1cm deep and 3cm high dent in it, as does the edge of the tailgate just above. This was caused by a snatch strap breaking and the recoil hitting the back of the car. I will provide photo's if required.

The Rhino "Tuff Stuff" liner cost $800, having a play with it, worth every cent. I threw a couple of semi loaded boxes in the back and threw the truck around a bit, nothing moved

Top truck. Like the spray liner. Did it cost much? Like the duel battery system. Might have to make a trip down to the TJM megastore and swipe the plastic :)
