Triton ML GLX-R 3.2TD info

What sort of price are you looking at for the 09 model I have noticed a huge drop in prices of the triton since they have offered the 30k new triton.

The GLX-R TDs are still around the 25k, seem to hold their value a but

Would you still recommend one even with these problems?

Hmmm - They have some very good points- The motor has excellent power and torque is across the board, I dont hear of any motors blowing up ( except bad fuel as with anything ) . A factory fitted rear diff lock is a bonus if fitted. Creature comforts are good compared to others that age. Drivers seat needs modify so doesn't destroy your back. Other issues are probably no different to other brands. I felt I had to get rid of mine before warranty ran out I could see the steering issue costing me and also some money needed on consumables like brakes, tyres etc. I was not going to buy the the later model it is crap - ( from my company fleet experience). If they had a newer ML with the 3.2ltr maybe I would have considered it. I ended up with an SR5 hilux - not as many creatures features and power but have not looked back. If I was you give it a go knowing the issues, buying second hand you should be able to resell within 12 months if you dont like it and get most of your money back anyway. If you get stuck Mitso may still do out of warranty repairs if its a known fault
Good luck

Thanks for the info, I look at one tomorrow. Had a look at a D22 navara today, was impressed with it, simple and practical

I forgot to add that the rear seat in the Triton is way more comfy than the others of the same era. If you have kids get them to test sit the rear seats! That unusual shape of the cabin allows for the seat to be reclined more than the others. My son is 6' tall and doesn't mind sitting in the back for extended periods at all.
