Mitsubishi Triton vs Ford Ranger
The current Triton was built to close the gap to the Ranger, and on towing it has: both are rated to 3,500 kg. The Ranger keeps the edge on cabin, tech and the V6 option; the Triton usually wins on price.

Who should pick which
No universal winner — the right answer depends on your situation, so we give you both.
Pick the Triton if…
you want a modern dual-cab with full towing capacity for less money, and value the longer warranty.
Pick the Ranger if…
you spend long days in the cabin, want the V6 for heavy towing, or care most about resale.
Still torn? That's what back-to-back test drives are for — and if neither fits, we'll say so.
It lacks the Ranger's cabin polish and V6 option, and resale has historically trailed the HiLux and Ranger.
The variants everyone actually wants (Sport, Wildtrak V6) carry long option lists and real-world drive-away prices well past $70k — and fuel use is thirstier than the brochure suggests when towing or loaded.
