MMAL service would have to be one of the best at this point in time.

Ford here supply a loan vehicle for the customer,whether it is in for a service or a warranty repair,which is great.

But they are not open Saturday,like some of the others,for service work,at no extra charge,which is great if you dont want the vehicles off the road during the week.

My work drive was upgraded 6 months ago to a dual cab TD Triton.
Sips fuel, quieter than the single cab and enjoying having 6 speeds over the 5 speed petrol.
It did take a day or so to get used to the narrow throw across the gate! What gear am I in??!!

The rear diff locking actuator plug/sensor is vulnerable to rocks, sticks etc. Same on all vehicles with factory axle diff e-locker from what I can tell. Fixed that today with a 3mm guard. Also replaced the 1.5mm bash plates with 3mm plates with stronger brackets. I have another plate to fit to protect the transmission but it will have to wait until I get a rattler gun for the cross member bolts it hangs off. Cheers

Front diff actuator to engage all wheel drive is the thing you want that front bash plate to protect. Cheers

Fantastic vehicle for soft sand. Just a doddle where the Triton has 5 up and at GVM and towing a heavily built trailer with a fair bit of wScreenshot_20230501_183521_Gallery.jpgeight (over 1 tonn). Cheers

80,000 klm racked up going to Eromanga in the far South West of Qld. Loaded up. Rooftop tent on. Lots of dirt road running south of Quilpie/Eromanga. Safe, quiet, comfortable cruiser and excellent in the dirt at speed (AWD). Still very pleased with the vehicle. Makes a very good camping platform.

Cape York done with comfort and ease including parts of the OTT and the 5 beaches drive at Cape York (all fully laden). 115,000 klm and a great vehicle with no issues.. It has won me over well and 20240606_171604.jpg20240603_170806.jpg20240608_123127.jpgtruly and the adventures have cemented that. Cheers

Anyone have the model before the current Triton with a snorkel and know if both metal layers of the door/window frame have to be drilled to mount the bracket properly? I've been helping the young bloke across the road as the plastic nuts they gave him rattled loose.

Hi mate. Only just saw this. I had my snorkel fitted on the same morning and same place as my mate with his MQ. We specified riv nutserts in the A Pillar rather than the plastic inserts. After Cape York, no issues. Otherwise I cannot help. Cheers

Another road trip to the Far North done. This time towing the boat. Fantastic trip, fishing in diverse fisheries. The Triton fully laden with rooftop tent etc and towing a tonn on the highway is very comfortable and easy to live with. Longest day was 1,100klm. I am impressed - get out after long days with no aches 14 litres per 100klm was quite acceptable given the roof load and total weight. The Triton was very sure footed pulling the boat out of steep, rutted, dirt 'ramps'. 121,000 klm on the odo and running like new. Never any issues with it.
