Kept the 10 year drivetrain warranty,defiantly looks better and will probly still be the cheapest

They are value for money, no question. I seriously thought about it last year when looking to upgrade my Landcruiser. Almost signed the dotted line on a new Triton with all the gear strapped on it. I just couldn't get over the idea that they are pretty damned ugly! Haha.

Then I found another Landcruiser and went with that instead, pleased I did in the end, very hard to go past a Landcruiser in my experience, however --- they're not a ute are they.

Had a sniff at the new model Triton yesterday, they do look a bit better than the older model.

One thing I do like about driving a Landcruiser though, is unlike almost every other 4wd on the road, there's not literally dozens of trucks the same passing you everyday. Sh*t I see some Hilux's and Rangers and Tritons on the roads down here. Like to be a bit different
