My 2017 Hilux cost me $1300 for ‘big’ services via dealer in Tauranga before I shifted south. Local Isuzu franchisee quoted me $900 for ‘big’ Isuzu service. Once out of wty, I’ll do the MU- myselfQuote:

For the price and what they give u a triton is is not a bad option. Servicing , warranty , running costs from what I told is better than most. 7yr warranty etc. Some ov the older trades around here buy em as they need the "looks" as capable offroad as most, definitely a step up in comfort from my Toyota
Mitsibushi makes some very long lasting motors on the light trucks, same technology. I just bought a old pajero for my trip, half the price than anything else. Ye i know it's a Paj, but will get me there
You were paying about 7 hundred + to much thats not a toyota issue that's a garage issueQuote:

My 15/16 colorado was great. Solid and reliable and still going strong for my mate who bought it. Now on a new hilux and my only complaint is the cab space is tighter then what I had in the colorado. Other then that, love it.
Yep. Paid once only.Quote:

Unless you have a really big wallet stay away from the european umm stuff
Did you watch the video? Almost every issue he had was due to aftermarket ‘upgrades’. Once you start adding a whole lot of aftermarket parts, and getting the thing tuned, why would Toyota accept responsibility? Not that he makes any mention of any ‘denied vehicle faults’. Once you start fording rivers, exceeding the max wading depth, etc, you have to own the consequences.Quote:

yup watched that and all the previous vids aswell, 7000$ blown turbos because factory airbox lets dust into turbos, the brake problems poocruisers have is same story -Quote:

This is my opinion.
If you are buying a late model ute and paying $45 plus buy new and get a extended warranty.
And if you can once warranty is up move it on.
Also after driving a new auto for 12 months as a personal ute, then been supplied a manual work ute to save a couple grand i would never own another manual.
Doesn't matter what brand they all seem to have there issues but some more then others
Yup my colorado was manual and my hilux is now auto. I won’t be going back to a manual.Quote:

My 2.5 year old Ranger.
Warrant and service:
Thank you for making an appointment with us.
The cost of this service is $1060inc.GST. The price of the WOF is $78
This includes changing air cleaner element, fuel filter and pollen filter as well as all the usual Ford service requirements & engine oil & filter change.
Also, let us know what time you would like to collect your vehicle?
Bloody hell. Nearly 80 Nicker on top of the service.
If it was a decent service, half of the warrant would be done anyway. And it's a dear warrant
Fark. The three filters are less than a few hundy, the oil and filter are probably $400 tops (if it's the 9L thereabouts for the 3.2L of the expensive fully synthetic) - so they are counting 3-4 hours of service time?Quote:

Have a 2017 navara .do.my own serv8cing .save a bundle. If it doesn't work then time to take to shop.all this talk of servicing
Try owning a rotary vehicle. Servcing means a new engine .lol.
Currently on the hunt for a new ute. Been looking at 2017-2019 hiluxs as after reliability. Looked at a dmax but been told 2017 onwards they have turbo issues and a diesel mechanic told me colorados were good but my reading tells me they have major transmission issues which is a shame as found a lovely 2019 one with low kms for a good price

We brought a new Fortuner last year and knowing that prices will rise we prepaid for the first 4 services. 1yr or 15,000km whichever is first. $1460 total, or $365 each.
It's just had it's 1yr service and here's what they did

Some deals currently on Dmax. Up to $12k off. https://www.isuzuutes.co.nz/build-and-buy-overview
I see Toyota is doing 4.9% interest too.
I've got a colorado, as long as the Torque converter has been done under warranty you won't go wrong with it, the 2.8 duramax is a good donk Holden just put a shitty batch of torque converters in them. Most on the road have had the warranty claim.Quote:

But like the previous model, it just doesn't feel as solid as I'm used to. I said to the one guy, if you imagine a scale where "solid" is the Hilux, and "flimsy" is the previous model Great Wall, the new Mitsi is somewhere in the middle.
What do you mean solid? I'm mostly concerned about reliability.Quote:

The tritons have a great name over here. The thinking man’s Hilux.
Worth a look. Not pretty but seem to go well for guys that aren’t flogging them every day.
