Thread: ADVICE NEEDED.....Mitsubishi Triton 2.8 Diesel 2004

They're actually a pretty good truck. Downsides are their gearboxes - made of warmed up butter. Bearings are pathetically small. And people towing in 5th destroys hem very quickly.
Diffs are actualy pretty tough. LSD's I would personally rate better than a Hilux. Quite a few being used in race cars now as Hilux are just too expensive and need constant work or upgrades.

Like anything mechanical, if its been looked after correctly it'll last ages.
Whatever you do get it properly checked out by someone that knows the particular brand well, and make sure the service history is good.
If they can provide receipts of what they've had done, you can be pretty sure they've been lookign after it properly. If a mate of a mate has been doing it, run.
