Re: The Pick-Up Truck Thread
I've no idea what the actual dimensions are but I'd say that our new Isuzu is slightly smaller inside than the Hilux I had before.
It's no problem for me but might be for others.
One thing I've been happy with is the smaller 1.9 engine, it's much more economical for local driving, smoother at tick over when you're stuck in traffic and with no noticeable lack of power for normal driving.

Re: The Pick-Up Truck Thread
The data is not on the manufacturer's websites. I had to dig down into other sources, and impossible as of now to find any interior dimensions for the new Triton. Very odd to me as every car I've ever bought in the USA the interior dimensions are readily available. It's an important item for most there, probably as more varied and much bigger driver body sizes than in Asia.

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread
Wow!!! What size tank have you got. I always thought mine was economical, but that sounds brilliant, especially with off-roading and up-hilling.

75L per Google. I looked it up as my Pajero Sport had either 65 or 69.

We now have a 1.9 Isuzu D Max. Some people have managed to get 1400km out of one tank:

Re: The Pick-Up Truck Thread
Thanks for the answers guys, and sorry for the off topic question. 5 litres smaller than my tank, and people used to call me a liar when I wasn't even getting close to those mpg figures. Off-roading and up-hilling, my consumption is a bitch. I guess things have advanced a lot further than I had realised.
Very impressed, and that Isuzu sounds absolutely brilliant.

Mitsubishi Triton, I think its a 2.4 Turbo Diesel.
It will do a thousand km on a fill if mostly highway cruising at 100-120kph. We were offroading and up and down mountains which obviously burns more fuel. The entire 2,500km trip including all the Mad Max roads cost about 5,800 THB in fuel.

Re: The Pick-Up Truck Thread
Yes, I've been looking it up, and it seems extremely economical compared with the new 2.0 Ford Ranger.

Re: The Pick-Up Truck Thread
That’s the same engine as I had in my Pajero Sport - does yours have an 8-speed auto box too? I never did any long journeys in that - only once did it go as far as as Bangkok to collect family from the airport, but even on shorter runs it was fairly economical.buksida wrote:Mitsubishi Triton, I think its a 2.4 Turbo Diesel.

No, six-speed manual, still a bit old school when it comes to driving!Dannie Boy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2024 4:16 pm That’s the same engine as I had in my Pajero Sport - does yours have an 8-speed auto box too?

Manual? That must be quite a rarity these days.

As said, old-school driver, three pedals and a clutch work for me. Though if I lived in a city, I'd definitely have an auto.
