I love the concept of a stripped out ute with decent "factory" fruit (except the front bar), however 60k + on roads + whatever the dealers are hoping to make on top of RRP is pretty wild for a basic ride. With the Navara's 5 star rating about to expire, hopefully the price will come back to earth and be more palatable.
I think the Navara is great concept but it’s a little overpriced, If I was purchasing I think I’d be going for a Triton in GLS trim and ad a suspension and AT tyre upgrade👍
Nice review, had the SL Warrior for 8 months now, goes great on mid tracks, You talk about steering wheel? I always go to super cheap. Get a proper steering wheel cover thick as possible on every four-wheel drive I've ever had. Also a black smith dashboard organizer that sits on the dashboard mat. Anyone looking at buying one? Make sure they throw in the tonneau cover for free. End of the day. The cheaper four-wheel drives are better because you don't have the electric tronics that go with the top range ones that stuff up. Only factory accessory we bought was a flexible roof antenna to clear out carport
Great content considering you often use my playing grounds as your platform I’ve gone away from my 105 series Landcruiser and now I’m waiting on delivery of a new Hilux Rogue and would love to see some comparisons of this vehicle against some other utes Cheers
Go for the Navara. Purchased a new Triton in 2021, 22,000km in and already requiring a new timing belt. Told it's not under warranty and will require $600 to replace. An item that should last up to 100,000km, lasting a fifth of its lifespans and not being covered under warranty on a new car is appalling. Service basically told me it's my problem and if I want it replaced I have to pay for it.
Why did the dealer decline the warranty? I own a 21 pro 4x with almost 25k km and I love it. No issues whatsoever. I recently upgraded suspension to an ironman foam cell and tires to a Maxxis Razr at (285/70r17) and it feels like a whole new truck.
@@jasona9354 because the belt was only covered for the first 20,000km. Absolute rubbish when they're supposed to last atleast 100,000+. I think I'll get rid of the Mitsubishi soon and get something else after that, only went with Mitsubishi because I thought the 10 year warranty would be good to have, but not when the warranty barely covers anything it should.
Not sure why companys waste time doing these videos when your saying the Navara has a/t tyres also bigger no side steps not comparing two utes that are the same to start off with, just making the other brand look terrible, I think company's pay for these kind of videos so they can promote there brand, might aswell make tictoc videos with this bloke and a teenager and see who's a better dancer, compare apples with apples
While I agree with you I also would like to point out that the vast majority of viewers interested in this type of thing know enough to get the gist...Having said that. I do agree with you.
Mitsubishi Triton is better, Nissan number three better put it on the cross country rally test competition championship, the winner is Mitsubishi Triton, comparison in handling stability manuvering cornering safety features intelligence engineering is Mitsubishi Triton.
I'm sorry but the amount of times he mentioned the tyres has annoyed me enough to leave this comment. You can replace tyres. It is the motor, drivetrain, clearance, suspension, etc should be the focus not bloody tyres! Reliability and quality of build should always be the no1 focus!
Great review as always, I am pretty excited as I brought the 2022 SL and am looking at setting up a new wheel and suspension. Gives me a good idea how it will turn out done right..
You throw suspension and tyres on the gsr then compare them you can't compare something that's already been tricked out make it an even playing field also Nissan and Mitsubishi have now partnered so it's almost comparing the same thing.
Having owned a navara since new from 2019, I have to strongly disagree with that. It’s been an absolutely exceptional vehicle in my experience. For value for money you can’t beat it.
Some jealous Toyota owner who doesn't know their vechiles are overpriced and overrated shitboxes but talks shit on other companies Ask Toyota to built a safe car atleast as safe as regional companies.

yeah but give the triton a lift and better tyres to match and it will do even better.
That's another $5k
Me and my partner own both. Navara has coil suspension, and is easier to upgrade. Tritons better off the showroom floor
As a first time 4wder, the Triton is a good option.
Yes, it's not the best out there, but drive to it's and your abilities and good times await.

He's pointing out a shortcoming of this test, ie suggesting what you have suggested - replace them.
I own a single cab Navara, I'd go with it even here.
Some base models come with a manual, but they are never tested.
Probably forgot how to drive one.
Paid $59k for my Navara ST-X 6 months ago…. No the SL is not good value for money, even with the “fruit”
You can buy a new auto SL for $53,800 driveway at the moment.
Fuel consumption on both please ? would the manual have been better , thanks
does it matter at all that the navara will break completely and the triton will just keep going?
Great review as always, I am pretty excited as I brought the 2022 SL and am looking at setting up a new wheel and suspension. Gives me a good idea how it will turn out done right..
Why!: why not just save the $10,000 and buy yourself an SL Nissan Navara and then upgrade the suspension and wheel package?
mitsubishi triton. it is better value for money
Not really a comparison. Try comparing apples with apples. AT tyres and a lift. Pointless video.
They're in the same price range brand new. That's the point.
You throw suspension and tyres on the gsr then compare them you can't compare something that's already been tricked out make it an even playing field also Nissan and Mitsubishi have now partnered so it's almost comparing the same thing.
maybe in the future but these two vehicles are 100% devoid of any architecture or component sharing.
🥱 450Nm & 430Nm……why in 2023 do they bother???
Because they don't break down as easy as Fords.
Mitsubishi Triton better
So much money and you get the interior of 2000's car. What a crap
Ssangyong Musso
new ford ranger raptor 3 liter v6 is best
You serious?
@@23860 yes
@@omgworldreels change a dealer asap bro
@@23860 why?
Those Raptors are next level and you pay a pretty penny for them as well!
Both of them are underpowered shitboxes to start with and then you get to pay more for lipstick 💄
Would take either ute far Better than the unfixable Hilux

From a person who probably never owned or driven either of them 🤔

Ask Toyota to built a safe car atleast as safe as regional companies.
This is the same type of cunt that's like "oh land cruisers and hiluxes are the real 4wds" yeah OK bro🤣👌
