Hi all
I own the 4th generation double cab Triton manual 4x4 version. it’s the 2.5l Diesel 131kw, 400nm spec. (I'm from South Africa) I think the like for like model in Australia is the GLS.. (I love it!)
I am an overlanding/off road enthusiast. I am in the process of deciding whether to buy the 5th generation triton (M/T) equivalent of the exceed.
I'm leaning toward keeping my 4th generation predominantly because I feel I can put the extra cash in mods(suspension, off roading accessories etc.) One of the main concerns is that the new generation does not come with a manual 4 wheel drive gear lever. (I had issues with my ford ute when getting stuck it required a few mm before it would make use of the low range transfer case) I get better sense of comfort from having the lever. Neither the refinement nor the interior improvements are a selling point to me. I don’t really want to worry about damaging my interior when I'm in the bush.
I know the classic off roaders (Landcruiser, defenders etc.) all are extremely simplistic and have the 4 wheel drive levers.
I was hoping that someone on the forum could provide some insight?
secondly, how can a mechanically improve the turbo lag/torque curve mechanically?
