Things that aren't so great about the Ranger

• You'd think with all that development work they might have come up with a transmission that can be used full-time on-road in 4WD, like the top Triton.
• With a curb weight of around 2160kg for the top Double Cabs, it's a heavy bunny. Hilux SR5 and Triton GLS are in the low- to mid-1900s.
• Approach angle of 28deg is fairly modest. Triton GLS can do 30deg.
• Turning circle of 12.7m is unremarkable; the Triton manages 11.8m, but the Navara D40 needs 13.3m.
