CarExpert's Take
- Noticeably more efficient in the city
- Smooth idle stop-start operation
- Retains 3.5-tonne braked towing capacity
- Stop-start tech can be fickle
- Bouncy and firm unladen ride
- Ageing interior design
- Towing specs finally segment-matching
- Efficient bi-turbo diesel
- Long conditional warranty
- Infuriating driver attention monitor
- Idle stop-start is painfully laggy
- Transmission needs more gears

Reviews
While it may have a silly name, the top-selling HiLux ute is now available with mild-hybrid tech that's claimed to improve fuel consumption.
Jack Quick
The Triton GLS has plenty of bling inside and out, though the calibration of some of its safety systems leave a lasting impression.
