For maximum capability as well as improved torque application and control, switching to 4LLc (4 Low Locked) provides the ultimate setup for off-roading.īut wait… there’s more (as the steak knife ad goes). When dirt roads are encountered, it can then switch to 4HLc (4 High Locked) and drive with improved traction and control in off-road and 4×4 situations. It was actually fun just sitting stationary and continually flicking the buttons and dials to watch the changing icons and lights showing what was or wasn’t engaged.Īrmed in this way, The Triton can function on-road in 2WD to maximise fuel economy and to reduce wear and tear on the front drive components it can then operate (by switching from 2H to 4H) as an AWD and enjoy the added benefits of improved traction, safety, steering and handling both on- and off-road. In saying that, and this does seem to be a theme with the Triton, when it comes to 4×4 controls the cluster’s indicator lights that identify which 4×4 mode you are in and which features are on or off, are some of the best-in-class. There are some positives though, along with the comfortable seats the simple and basic instrument cluster is easy to read and not overcomplicated. We know a new generation is on the way and we hope, for the sake of the Triton, that the interior is markedly overhauled. The dash and door trims in particular though, are dated and a tad dull. The bolsters are also appreciated further when off-roading. They are well bolstered, comfy-looking yet firm, attractively styled with a hint of simpleness, and plainly put: quite nice to sit on. The first thing you notice when entering the cabin are the seats. At first glance the Triton offers great mid-level value for money, the 10 year warranty and capped-price servicing are excellent, and depending on where you stand it’s either a pricey budget 4×4 or a great value offering for $10,000 below the top sellers.
