In early 2008 I went on a research mission on dual cab utes- narrowed it down to navara in the petrol V6 or triton diesel auto.

I had been eyeing off the triton for a while early 2007 actually, but when first released it wasn't available with the auto.
The order went in for a VR auto, and as it was going onto a lease had the full option list applied before pickup so didn't require the extra trimmings of the foglights, nudge bar or the hardlid.
and then the first hurdle- MMA have a updated model on the way- but details are very sketchy. 17" rims and bluetooth were the most obvious items.
Contract signed on the update, and so the wait begins- yes I ticked the rear diff lock- so 6 weeks wait.

After a long wait the vehicle arrives into the country- but the dealer hadn't ordered the ARB accessories- so it was another 4 weeks until delivery (and that was without the rear bar) if rant thread had have been around......I believe around this time the dealer realised they had made an error (or maybe they really were into customer satisfaction after making me wait

had been a long wait but it arrived home with new 265/70/17 MTZ's
And straight out in the bush for a trial- JOP I believe was just as eager as myself to get the new tritons dirty.....
