    Mitsi have a center diff.....so you have the choice of 2wd rear, AWD (center diff unlocked), and 4wd center diff locked.

    100% sure the misti triton with super select, has a center diff allowing AWD on high traction surfaces. This was the feature that made me head the Triton way, when I was originally looking at a Ranger.
    Select dial has 4H, 4lc (locked center diff), 2H, 2lc. Both 4H and 2H are usable on the road.

    I went from a '96 Prado which had AWD, and I got got used to being able to smash the loud pedal, and not being left spinning the rear wheels.

    In our model year it was only the top spec GLS model that got the" super select 2" system with center diff and rear diff locks.
    I think it is in more variants now tho?
    Yours will have the "easy select" 4wd system which is the same as most other brands and shouldn't be used on high traction surfaces.

    My read is my missus has a crap driving style and a lead foot, most of the fuel burn overrun goes out as unnecessary brake pad wear - charging up to a stop sign and chucking everything out expecting the thing to stop from all noise in 20m...
    Your Mrs must get around a lot in many different vehicles, I see heaps rushing up to a stop or give way sign like they’re not going to have to stop - then throw out all anchors at the last two seconds.

    And also see lots tailgating ahead of me and brake lights blinking on constantly….

    Unless they have changed the reading on the dash is recent average not lifetime so 9l per hundy round town is probably pretty fair.

    Fuel consumption and depreciation on my '17 XLT Ranger? Who cares- compared to my AMG sedan, it's basically nothing. The diesel mileage still pisses me off on the ute though.
