Now, I am new to diesel, very, very new to these oil burners, so I have no idea at all, still understanding everything, all I know is that I have DID badge on the tailgate and I am suppose to wear a glove when I fill up (trucky style).
I have read everything that I can about the other brands here with eagerness, I run a tunable cdi with 10 maps on my motorbike so I understand some things.
So there seems to be not many people or none here at least using this brand, at Tuff Dog on the weekend I got to meet the guys at MTQ from Qld and talk about them, I still did not understand the techo talk to much but I am sure that there are guys here who do. There claims are similar to others, but they state that RAPID does its thing in a different way to the other well marketed brands.
Price is just under $1400 then add install, they seem to need a bit more effort on this part but they also install a on/off switch in the cabin with the module under the dash and wires going to the engine, so you would expect with the switch and everything hidden Mitsu will not know its there.
There seems to be two types of of RAPID's, Pro and Std and the Triton gets the Pro model.
They were specific in saying how it works differently to the other big brand here which is better for the motor, but I still don't get it. They don't have a user flickable choice of maps but supposedly can never less be infinitely tuned for each vehicle.
I know Jop was at TT and may have talked to them, but his feedback may also depend on how sober he was
So once again another predicament rears its ugly head of choices amongst tyres, suspension, bars, shocks and everything else, at least the choice of triton vs hilux was easy, oooops did i say that, bloody stir up always coming into it.
Can anyone help, does anyone want to ring them and suss them out ? MTQ seem to be a big national Diesel service company so they should know what they are on about.
