looked at the competition and all had problems mazda and ford had no passenger legroom .isuzu is a stock mining truck very basic inside and the hilux was too expensive and have gearbox problems so it was between the colorado and the triton. triton won.game over

John, the turbo lag is due to euro emissions requiring no diesel smoke on take off and low revs so the manufactures have turned down the fuel which gives a bigger turbo lag down low, a chip will recify this and a few other problems as well as giving more power overall.

Hi there i had a 2001 V6 triton and great 2 up. But as for towing it is a no go. I had a box trailer and it did not like the hills at all.

Hi out there i have the new 2010 triton2.5 i did have a 2995 liter V6 1991 petrol which i just sold and loved.I like the new car (it drives like one)i get 8.99 lit per 100. Old one 11.75 lit per 100km. But what is with the turbo lag has any one come across any thing that gets rid of it? or is that a no go? What about the after market chips or anything!! I have been left in some spots where a quicker responce would have been better.

its the same as petrols dude…….. they are always down on power and usually bigger capacity so they have a better torque band,much more usuable for towing and 4x4ing, also i woudlnt go throwing to much torque in a 4×4 with leaf springs. ur comments about 4×4 diesels compared to korean and euro passenger diesels is stupid, please leave

Lets not forget about the power delivery and when this peak power come into the rev range! Bigger motors, like the older 3.2 or the current 3.0L’s from other manufacturers (Toyota, Isuzu, Holden)have it easy, more grunt earlier in the rev range and carried all the way through to redline. Is this not why Nissan are looking at the Renault 3.0L V6 to put into the Navara (2011-2012)? The 6 speed manual couldn’t get the right amount of power out of their 2.5L.

Ange, I would think that the newer motor would have to be running higher boost pressure from the turbo, higher compression ratio or even both to get more power out of a smaller engine. This may not be a bad thing because the engine “could” be made out of better metals and therefore can cope with the added stress. Lets not forget the newer motor was in fact due to the euro 4 emissions legislation, this is why lots of car manufacturers have downsized their engines…..
