@@Blacktriton19 such good value mate!

@@Blacktriton19 have a couple vids coming soon with MAJOR changes.

@@Blacktriton19 appreciate the comment man! Thank you!

@@alexjohnson3696 that’s a good price! when they were first released they had a huge price hike but due to lack of sales they have dropped the prices down to less than what we paid for our MR. Yeah the reliability is shocking in the ranger as we learn more and more every day, on paper and the drive of the ranger feels miles ahead of the triton but it’s the reliability and fords typical build quality that only allows it to last the warranty period before it has critical issues. We really wish the new triton was released with a v6 model as it’s a game changer when directly compared towing in the next gen ranger.

@@kayneottley4669 for sure being lightweight give the triton a massive advantage off road. As for the gearbox the hilux, DMAX and MV triton use the same 6 speed, when we test drove the new gen triton that it gearbox felt more refined and just overall a better. The car also used the gearbox to engine brake when slowing down to which the Mr doesn’t do this at all sadly. Huge step forward which hopefully someone can work out a tune for the MR to give the box a more refined feel. Thanks for the comment 👍

Great to read about your positive experience. On a car it’s definitely a heavy thing and bulky, we forgot to mention it’s actually difficult to store as well if not using it. But worth it for a good nights sleep that handles the rough weather. I feel the compromise between a lightweight tent vs the quality can sometimes shift very quickly.

@@fraser..n74 amazing, we can’t wait to get over there and explore 👌

@yan_stewi_travels it's amazing l was fortunate to be working on 1 million acre property so l had the run of were l could camp fish etc amazing country tho l find anywhere in the top end is amazing to the cape gulf into NT etc

Thanks for the reply, we look forward to using the tent in the future, if the lightweight LX Was available at the time we would have gone with that for sure, might be something to look at in the future. ❤

@@bigles4545 they are pretty reasonable, flick them a email mate and they will be happy to help tell them you saw our video on UA-cam and want a good deal. 👍

Black Friday sale is a scam. Any reputable quality product will not sell rubbish for cheap on black friday

@@bigles4545 loving it mate! Makes life easier when driving the car everyday, will do another one around the 6 month point. 👌

@@MrWilliam.Stewart was the typical dealer experience haha, just buy a good second hand, there are so many popping up for a great price, if you do go new have a look at fleet providers and see if they can provide you a better price such as autoexpert (who we used and saved us a few grand) make sure you do the accessories yourself or else where as the dealer put their 10-20% on top of what it actually costs. Read reviews also how their after sales support is as it Varys from dealer to dealer. Hope this helps!

@@56JimboSlice yeah it’s pretty common with the aftermarket parts especially with the triton, our suspension gave us tonnes of dramas as well. The tritons seem to be very difficult to set up but once you have them in the sweet spot they are great. Thanks for the comment.

@@yan_stewi_travels from what I've found after market in the Triton is lacking vs the other dual cabs around. I was lucky to get the bullbar weight from Piak but was not easy to find before ordering the suspension. I did originally have the lighter springs optioned but found the bar was around 90kgs so was able to get the higher rates spring. I went full ironman foam cell pros to stick with the same brand for everything as I didn't want the dramas with different brands working together like you had lol.

@@56JimboSlice yeah agree there, we have modded cars for years but the triton was definitely the worst to set up just issues galore. Yeah awesome good to stick with one brand we won’t make that mistake again haha!

@@yan_stewi_travels I think for whatever reason alot of the big brands don't support as many mods for the Triton. Possibly less people modding them as extensively as the other brands. Your setup looks good by the way, glad you are happy with it.

@@56JimboSlice yeah for sure we feel that aftermarket makers build an after market part for a ‘duel cab’ then retro fit it for a triton etc and then it doesn’t quite work. Thanks so much, very happy stay tuned for our lap 👌

@@newychook I had changed the theme so may just be that? You would need to check with Vhedia I could check the about section and see what it has for you when I get a chance.

@@paulmcmorrow9640 yeah agree. Same as diffs and gearbox to be done in half of the kms than what the dealer recommendations.

@@michaelking7495 thanks mate, glad you got something out of it 👌

@@relentless6790 no worries at all hope you enjoyed!

@@buster_1972 terrain tamer were great, they covered the cost of the leafs as they were causing so many issues and within warranty, we paid for the original leafs and all necessary parts to install.

@@Allwasahome thanks so much for your comment, good luck with the set up mate! Really appreciate the support!

@@johnsambar2658 I get what you mean, try the Dobinson’s mra we have in there as we are on a lower spring rate and it still sits very nice around 2 inch 👌

@@nvdxr81 yeah awesome, we didn’t touch on airbags or helper leafs as we have no experience with them, definitely something you need if you have fluctuating loads. Thanks for your comment 👌

@@TheLongWayDownTheShortTrack love to test the friendship sometimes 😇

@@rickypiggott9634 thanks for your comment, the mirror camera is a wolfbox 850 they have a couple later model ones with more features now. It’s very easy to install you can do it yourself if you have the time we recommend a hard wire kit as it will fuse tap in to the original fuse box.

Also interested as it looks like you removed the original mirror? Cheers!

@@claudyboulaye286 yeah mate removed the factory mirror, bought the mount kit for the wolfbox and installed that instead, looks factory but better vision than ever.

@@Wilbargosh thanks for your comment! Sounds like a good outcome in the end, very interesting that the gvm upgrade and rated suspension didn’t last long, considering that’s what you upgrade the gvm for to increase the load capacity. We dont think you should have paid any extra as the product didn’t handle the weights that are the upped gvm rating. Glad it’s sorted though as it’s frustrating, we are hearing a lot of similar stories where issues like this occur whether it be parabolics or constants it makes no difference, issues apply to all set ups it seems.

@@allywood96 thanks mate it’s annoying but all part of it, we learned so much from this experience, terrain tamer also didn’t rest until the issue was resolved absolutely brilliant to deal with.

@@JakeSDN thanks for your comment, I’ve seen and have first hand experienced these cheap headunits you have described and they are always better specs than what you actually receive, a good mate of ours did it the cheap way and bought a cheaper unit for around $300, it looked exactly the same as the unit we have. However, it was very laggy, it couldn’t talk to the canbus module, the rear cam and steering wheel buttons don’t work and he has no support from the trusty Chinese supplier. (What a surprise) You also have no Australian law standards for returns or support, the specs of these units are what they say they are and the performance proves that. With ongoing support from Vhedia and warranty here in Australia I’d choose Vhedia every time. If these units from aliexpress are any good, we encourage you to ship them over and start a business. We were not paid or sponsored for the video, we have the right to tell the truth about this product and it’s simply one of the best mods we have done to our ute as it makes our lives easier.

@@rayclements1891 thanks mate, the suspension upgrade made our triton significantly made it more compliant, one of the best mods to make the triton more premium.

@@18glennmendoza yeah mate it works just with the factory 360 camera, the front cam button on the wheel works perfectly as you expect from the factory unit.

@@landrover1155 yeah for sure, we had a Pajero sport prior to the triton and the unit was much better, the unit in the triton for us would have been perfect if the car was a weekender but as we plan to do a lap it would have been way to unreliable. The factory unit used to freeze which if we weren’t paying attention would keep driving for kms only to realise we missed a turn off kms back haha, by the third time this happened we were discussing new headunit options 😂 this unit isn’t for everyone but we swear by it as it’s transformed our adventures.

@@landrover1155 great question I run the supplied mic in the kit and ran it up towards the stock location so it should be fine. However, I’ll do a test and come back to you with audio levels from the Vhedia unit, stay tuned I’ll report back tomorrow. 👌

@@landrover1155 we tested it this morning and the audio was nice and clear, unsure how the mic on the unit would be but didn’t want to risk it so that’s why we ran the external mic so we recommend you run that if you decide to get one in the future. 👌

@@yan_stewi_travels nice work thanks mate.

@@harpersneil yeah it does still work, we have had UA-cam playing in the background for live music etc, you can just have the display screen off while driving so it’s not distracting. Pretty much what ever functionality a tablet has the unit has overall. It’s a massive upgrade it’s the best mod we have done to the ute so far, wish we did it earlier.

@@yan_stewi_travels Thanks for the quick response. Just so I understand, you can choose to have the screen off, or it's off and you can't have it on?

@@harpersneil it’s completely your choice if you have the screen on or off.

@@yan_stewi_travels I've reviewed a LOT of these head units and this is by FAR the best I've seen. Thanks for responding, I've got a few mates who are keen also.

And does it also come with digital speedo?

@@celodominic8704 it sure does this was a feature that’s very important to us to. The unit responds to the button on the steering wheel just like factory, the only thing I do find is as the screen is bigger and higher definition than factory the oem cameras lack quality but a major step forward over oem.

@@celodominic8704 it does when the obd2 is up on screen. 👌

Thanks mate got me sold. Pretty much same as the new triton now😂

@@celodominic8704 😂😂 Mr-v

@@ryanharland1987 yeah mate, sure does it’s Apple car play and Android auto! 👌

@@KickStandUp. Vhedia is the headunit they should have came with from factory, the factory one is so dated it’s not even funny.

We would recommend it for sure, the audio sounds significantly better than the OEM unit and you can modify the sound and run a sub direct plug in from the rear for that added bass. Yeah mate obd2 displays speed and all your temps, like exhaust, engine boost pressure everything that the ecu talks to the obd2 will display. All steering wheel buttons and everything is retained, legit feels like an oem unit but better With internet the unit itself needs it to run apps but Apple CarPlay will use the internet off your phone, you can tether your phone or do what we do and have a mobile broadband sim in the unit. Let us know if you have any other questions we are happy to help.

@yan_stewi_travels thanks for the info. Can you run the obd2 and use the Bluetooth of ya phone at the same time or haven't yous tried that yet

@@bigles4545 yeah mate you sure can, we run CarPlay and run the obd2 while driving also to monitor temps. 👌

@yan_stewi_travels hey mate sorry to be a pain but could you do a quick vidio om how it fits in the dash as in how hi it it to the top of the dash and how close it sites to the ac controls and would you be able to show us all what it's like out in the sun from in the driver's seat ect ect. Thanks mate

@@bigles4545I can send you a video directly reach out to us on instagram and I’ll flick you a video mate.

@@user-gk1nt6sm2z we are working through the suspension due to having issues we will post this in the next 12 month update. As it’s been a battle.

@@user-gk1nt6sm2z thanks so much

@@user-gk1nt6sm2z cheers!

@@tyzon00800 Been awesome so far does everything we need it to, we shall see how the lap goes in it 👍

Should have got a Prado

Had both and prefer the triton

I would not tuch a ranger with a 10 foot pole as I know someone that had one and not even 6 months after getting it new it blew up due to the turbo hoses as Ford can not work them out. About 3 months ago work got 3 for work cars and one is already leaking oil so they contacted Ford and Ford said it will be ok and just keep topping it up even tho it's brand new. I have the mr trion and yes there is issue but it's noting serious like leaking oil.

@@bigles4545 Ford said it will be on? What does that mean?

@@jamesaustralian9829 cheers for the reply, we have a mate that has a work car he hates and it’s not good for the sanity, it becomes more of a passion to hate the car or ute. Can I ask what series you had? We agree it’s not the most powerful ute getting around but felt it was pretty punchy stock and new, with our set up now we probably won’t be overtaking much anytime soon haha. Agreed Headunit in them is rubbish we recently upgraded and feel it’s the first thing you should do for sanity. Where was you working to have so many issues with heat, we are yet to experience these issues as live in Tassie and have only really been as far as SA we haven’t experienced extreme heat as yet, but will likely experience this when in the top end next year. Our reality was the triton was the best priced, cost us a fraction of the price to set up, we aren’t as stressed if we scratch it or have damage etc due to the costs vs a 300/ y62 set up, we can use it as the work ute instead of being obsessed and worrying about damage etc all the time. For now it’s fit for our purpose and we haven’t experienced a lot of the issues you found with the work ute,but who knows in time we might live to hate it to time will tell.

You can't go wrong with a good Hilux

@@johnnumbat9782 Thanks so much for your reply! How good is Bruny in summer 👌 Yeah lag on acceleration is annoying but we have adapted to it now, throttle controllers seem to make them more punchy as the issue is with the unresponsive throttle, the new gen has two modes now, eco/ normal and makes a world of difference. We are starting to realise not going the tamer was a wise decision they have so many issues already. On paper they look incredible it’s a bit of a shame. We agree if you are handy on the tools or exceptionally qualified in your case it’s better to do all the mods yourself as others don’t seem to care much. We are looking to install a water tank for a built in shower as well, was legit planning it all last night, we will post up a video ones the car is fully tour ready. We have gone through multiple set ups with suspension so if you need any tips reach out, just weigh your car and then choose your suspension accordingly. We went with terrain tamer and they were awesome to deal with they didn’t give up until the set up was right.

@@jamesaustralian9829 yes you’re absolutely correct James and this is my second one because I changed to an automatic - yes you pay the ‘Toyota tax’ but other than the DPF workaround this car has been fantastic with conventional low tech handbrake and analogue dials, dash cup holders and actual knobs on the infotainment system - most of the other makes use buttons etc which can be dangerously distracting when your not looking at the road ahead.

@@yan_stewi_travels yes guys the unfortunate thing with marketing is the money spent on fancy commercials with ‘model’ ‘home and away’ looking drivers suggesting that particular car is a good choice until you own one - for example Ford Ranger, Jeep or Rsnge Rover/Land Rover because they might have nice aesthetics but people will suffer financially for what they chose - your rig does look good but is actually functional and gets you there - I now live on the mainland but have been visiting over a dozen Tassie family members for forty years with two of them nurses who work very hard - also having a mechanical/financial background Stewi gives you a better informed path for decision making than most and not easily conned - enjoy your hot water showers - I chose the industry proven Sureflo pump (not cheap and nasty imitator Seaflo) with a backup Sureflo pressurised accumulator tank which means you’re not always turning on the pump for short fills like a cup’s worth - also chose an under tray 50l Dunn & Watson plastic tank but your setup may be inside the canopy if your trundle tray is already in place.

@@johnnumbat9782 thanks so much John, I agree with the marketing and the specs of the ranger, funny enough the rangers v6 is inherited from the land rovers and has a tendency to snap cranks as well as many other issues. That’s epic advice about the water tank, 50 L would be the sweet spot we still have enough gvm for that to. I’ll look in to them and take your recommendations in to consideration. Can’t wait to start working on the water tank as it’s one of the final things to do to the ute. As well as an upgrade to 300ah and an inverter for coffees of a morning otherwise we will go broke buying them while traveling around Aus haha!

@@wayno8867 correct, they are to assessed every 30,000 kms. From experience our previous Pajero sport was done at 60,000 kms we didn’t have the history of if it was carried out at 30k, they were out quite considerably. Then on the other hand we had an MQ triton was perfect at 120k some need the adjustment some don’t.

@@johnobrien6869 that’s awesome, glad you’re enjoying the triton. The steering takes a while to get used to as it’s quite rugged, bumpy through the steering, the new model addresses this with an electronic rack over hydraulic, you’ll just adapt though. I feel that the paddles in the MR are the best thing for it as you can elect what gear it needs to be in, once you learn where the sweet spots are rev and gearbox wise, you’ll enjoy it more. They do actually handle very well for what they are and are the lightest in the segment. If you do mod it make sure they are very conservative mods, we have probably gone a bit far and are still chasing issues with the rear end parabolic leaf set up, but hope to have them resolved in the next month. We will do an updated video eventually of how it’s all going.

@@yan_stewi_travels Thanks for the reply. I haven't tried the paddles yet. Will let you know after I put some more miles on it and I get to know it 😀

@@AhTanBaeeStan we don’t use the car everyday personally, but the canopy doors are really easy to deal with even with parked cars they tend to not have a big foot print as they open upwards. Our biggest enemy atm is underground car parks as the car is tall as with a roof top tent on top haha!

thanks for the quick reply. Understand of the height limit at certain places. Looking for a setup for daily use that can use for weekend camping with rooftop tent and awning

if it’s just a weekender, a swag was perfect for us as we could pack it under our place when not using, but if you need a roof top tent that’s super slim go the sabre super lite, they are thin as on the roof would be better for daily driving. As for awning I suggest a good quality 270 degree is super useful, personally I don’t think I could go back to a standard awning after the 270.

@@lrzetec we finally cracked it with them, we removed the sensors out then re installed them and haven’t had an issue since, I think the fitters installed them on a bad angle causing them to malfunction. We only had about 1000kms on the car before the bar was installed so didn’t have it long enough for the sensors to play up on the oem bar.

I did have it written somewhere, but can’t locate it atm sorry, just check the MR triton brochure: www.mitsubishi-motors.com.au/content/dam/mmal/pdfs/vehicle-brochures/23MY%20Triton%20Brochure.pdf

@@JaseBakes thanks bro 👌

Thanks for your reply, if the MV was the same price as the MR then it would be an excellent buy just to close to the others in the segment.
