phutoie2 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Just read that tomorrow is the world premiere launch of the new Triton in Thailand. After the Ranger/BT50/New Nissan truck I wonder what we can expect. Disappointingly also mentioned was the new Hilux is now not due to 2nd or 3rd quarter of 2015. That will push the new Tuna back too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giddyup Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Wow! I was wondering when it was coming. Maybe have some good runout deals on the old model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone normal it would be daft. Who cares what the outside of a vehicle looks like anyway? I'm only interested in the safety/reliability, the comfort and the total cost of ownership. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giddyup Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Looks like a truck Looks like an artist's impression to me, maybe photos will do it more justice. It does look as though it's getting a passenger airbag though. Edited November 18, 2014 by giddyup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I'm a bit disappointed by the looks. The present Triton was the first to come with a different looking truck, later followed by Mazda. But this new Triton seems to be very plain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keemapoot Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 In those pics are correct, I think they're going in the right direction, as most have said, back to looking like a truck. The current Triton and the current Mazda BT-50 just don't feel like what a pickup should be. I don't think you can go too far in exterior design with these things really, so more or less agree with Ace and James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutoie2 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Most of the info and pics are out there now. Highlights: All new 2.4L diesel engine 181hp & 430Nm 2.4L petrol engine 128hp and 194Nm for conversion to comp gas. Old engine still available for new truck 2.5L 178Hp & 400Nm or 128Hp & 240Nm. Interior looks very nice in leather. Not sure about the rear lights, must have looked at Ford/Mazda. Prices 791,00 to 1.008mil THB There is 4x4 version too, in fact a whole range of trucks.

IMHO Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I'm a bit disappointed by the looks. The present Triton was the first to come with a different looking truck, later followed by Mazda. But this new Triton seems to be very plain. Well, they had to leave themselves plenty of options for the 8-10 minor changes it's going to have 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
changnaam Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 My first thoughts are that it looks more like a face lift than "all new". Hopefully looks deceive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this new Triton seems to be very plain. To each his own, but IMHO the present body style is butt ugly. So I think this new body style is a marked improvement.
