Silver Streak wrote:I have just been checking out the specs of the Triton Dual-Cab and the Toyota SR5 Dual-Cab, just for comparison, and the one spec that glaringly stands out is the ground clearance of the 2 vehicles. The Triton is quoted as 205mm, but the Toyota is 292mm!!! That's a huge difference and an advantage when 4WD'ing. Surely they must be measuring in a different place?? I think the Mitsy is measured from the lowest part of the rear diff, isn't it??
Please, can anybody enlighten me. I've done a few checks on the web and only come up with the 292mm+ dimension.
Cheers,

I too noticed that when i was comparing the two and i was pretty surprised by the difference. The hilux certainly doesnt seem that much higher when you look at them. I checked the navara aswell and its ground clearance said 217mm which isnt much more but still a long way off what toyota claim.

We just had one of our ML's written off thismorning and need to repalce it ASAP. We previously had the petrol v6 which was great and tow our trailer and gear. How did the MN tow your boat from a stand start and up hills???

I just had the 1500k service done.
...Twice since The service I have needed to get quickly across an intersection, granted I probably gave it a few more revs before droping the clutch, but any way she flew across the intersection both times!!
No Problems at all.
I will do some more controlled testing this weekend and see what the story is.
If they have made some adjustment thats great...

As I said all about control. Thought about my offer?
