i just traded mine that had the oil issue for the new one. so if you see a jey218 i wouldn't recommend

in saying that to me the holden was a great allround truck not the best but for the price and power they hard to beat.

I know the trighton is having a clearance and david jones in wanganui is doing some shape prices on them currently 2wd for $30k +orc

Yes and most places also, a 4WD Triton manual works out to $35650 on road.
Resale wouldn’t be a patch on a Hilux although the Triton have come up a long way and I think are good value now.


For a lot less than a new Triton i bought the Hilux.

I think the model these on my 2009 Colorado, but think the Colorado is still a better wagon! Does yours have a POWER button? and do about 11Ls/100K ?

Hi ya. No power button and around town and out the bush twice it’s been fractionally under 10/100.
Two mates have the Colorado and they like it.
