| This issue chief new-vehicle tester Mark Allen takes three Aussie all-rounders – diesel dual-cab utes – out west and puts them through their paces to determine if the newcomer – Mitsubishi's all-new Triton – can snatch the dual-cab crown from high-tech favourites Navara and HiLux. Who'll walk away with the laurels in this no-frills, no-holes-barred stoush? | Boy, have we got some corkers for you this issue. We head west with a 100 Series tourer setup to explore the countryside, travel along with a neat Courier and camper-trailer setup to find out why your parcels are always late, boogy down with a killer blue Land Rover Discovery II and crawl around the joint with a tough-as-nails diesel GQ Patrol Trayback. | |||
