Thread: Mitsi Triton vs Isuzu D Max

We upgraded to the runout mu-x as it has softer coil rear springs and is auto, so my wife can drive it while I hoon round in her Honda. Mu-x is simply a different shell on a d-max chassis/running gear. Shirley and I expect the mu-x to be our last 4wd, caravan/boat towing purchase.

Yeah I remember seeing that same review, was really comprehensive. Sounds like your assessment is as I noted, that the D-Max is a more 'trucky' ute and good for towing.
