Thread: 4wd Ute <25k

I've heard that the bearings and other such things in the Chinese Utes are junk, but they are 1:1 rip offs of Toyota parts, so you can get a Foton/Great Wall and steadily replace it with Hilux parts... That's just what a mate told me.

Regarding why Tommy tagged me - yup, bought an MN Triton with low K's, second hand from a dealer. At one point a service tech didn't torque the sump plug and it dumped all the oil. Fast forward two years and a big end went on the way back from a hunt. My local Mitsi had it rebuilt and covered the cost. They mentioned that it was probably cooked by the previous owner, as the head had been off, and really poorly machined. So you really are rolling the dice on second hand trucks. Other than that wee fuck up, it has been a great truck. Lots of power. Can be had second hand for reasonable money.
