Triton are always welcome. Afterall us hilux drivers need to stay familiar on how to perform car recoveries.

So possibly without being bias, which ute did the best?

Honestly I think it was pretty even. I'd have to say though, mine was the least modified out of all of them! And as much as i'd like to, I'm not really keen on pouring much more money into this car either, trying to save for a house and along with moto riding, mountain biking and all the rest it all becomes a bit much!

Do I really have to say :oops: :oops: :oops:

It was a triton okay :o

The triton performed great on the day, and the owner wasn't scared of anything. I didn't really see any down sides to it if not a few advantages in the design of it.

Sorry Daryn not yet mate, I forgot to be honest.

I've had a lot on my plate since the magazine trip! Times have changed... may need to sell the Hilux to get something a bit more "family friendly" to say the least :D

Not sure what it'd be worth, any ideas? it's only 6 months old... but only thinking about it at this stage. 20k kms.

Need to free up some debt to buy a house a bit sooner than I had planned :P

Hilux works well with kids mate, I have 3 year old and another on the way. You just need a hard lid or canpoy to put everything in

I'm sure it does mate, but part of the reason is to reduce my debt... I'm not really attached to it so no big deal!
