    Well as it fails the first requirement of being a ute and the second requirement of being a 2020 model I doubt it.

    No Mahindra, Foton, Ssangyong or Great Wall.
    Would have been interesting to see how they went

    Well yes of course thats simple physics.
    It was only a few years ago I had a worked 91 cruiser with triple dif locks that would and has towed safari's backwards in a tug of war on concrete.
    But my mq is the faster, quieter,more economical safer way to tow my boat or anything else.

    They needed to do the tradie test. I had a new hilux and I couldn’t drive it with my steel caps on. No room under the clutch pedal and no foot rest. And I couldnt put the seat back far enough to make I comfortable. They are made for wee people with small feet.

    And I imagine in Thailand one company makes the looms for Fords, Mitsis etc s.etc so maybe a lottery where the duds end up.

    After owning 3 Mitsi cars and utes I swore I would never buy the brand again (and I wont as far as their cars go) but having said that I like the look of what the latest ute offers.

    Sean Whale (I think he lead the review) and those other reviewers I have found after watching a lot of their video clips are not bullshit artists ie not your average motoring journos who are wined and dined by the big bands and then write accordingly.
    If Whale and Co were biased they would have nudged the scoring more towards Toyota and Isuzu.

    John Cadogan also gave the Mitsi a good review and if you have ever watched his clips he is beholden to no brand is Oz.

    Mitsi's are underrated utes. It's an entertaining review video, actually using them as 4wd's. That's a first!
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
