I find this baffling because the design seems to fade away as you head to the back. The maximum load weight may vary based on model specifications. The latest-gen comes with a 2. Please confirm the maximum load weight indicated in owner's manual before loading to ensure safety. Note: Equipment may vary by market.
But, it is not spacious by any means. But, this is not the case in the U. The Japanese giant is offering this engine with two transmissions. One makes 160 horses and 313 pound-feet of torque, whereas the other one makes 187 ponies and 332 pound-feet of twist. The engine now offers a fuel economy of up to 32 mpg, which will certainly make the owners happy. In terms of appearance, the Hilux looks decent, something that would age gracefully.
The fog lights are placed a little too high, and unless they are really bright, they will not serve their purpose very well. The instrument cluster is clear to read and bright enough even during sunny days, thanks to the cowl at the top. . Even though the design is loud, it does not look bad by any means. A faux skid plate at the bottom complements the chrome garnishes in the front.
The seats, however, come with improved bolstering and feel a lot more comfortable than the previous iteration. The cabin is alright and just about does the job, but it can definitely be improved. You can have it with either a six-speed manual gearbox, or a new six-speed automatic transmission. It also prevents accidental damage, says the carmaker. Everything is quite proportionate and kudos to Mitsubishi for not crossing that fine line where a vehicle goes from looking tastefully loud to gaudy. However, it does not mean that the Japanese brand is not doing well here in the States. It is about adequate and does not feel cramped.
The rear of the cab is a see-through glass, but there is no opening for a window. Another nice touch is a cigarette lighter which seems to have become extinct otherwise. It is meaty, perfectly-sized, and it even has thumb contours. The whole unit looks like an add-on instead of looking like a part of the truck. This is as confusing for me as it is for you. C-shaped chrome strips flow from the headlights and make for the fogl amp surrounding.
Read our full review on the Final Thoughts The new Mitsubishi L200 Series 6 is a well-rounded package that will appeal to owners for domestic, as well as commercial uses. The four-door configuration has surely eaten up space from all corners. Ensure proper safety as the actual driving will be affected by circumstances such as the slope angle and road condition. The fog lights and turn indicator signals are vertically placed on either side of the bumper. The side profile is generic truck-like. The chrome badges were enough to break the otherwise monotonous-looking tailgate, so, there was no need to spoil the clean look by adding the chrome strip.
The cabin in the Mitsubishi L200 Series 6 is not very generous in terms of space and storage. An opening window here would make life so much simpler in the long run. The older iteration came with a towing capacity of 7,700 pounds. The tailgate is slapped with a chrome strip right above the handle and it looks ridiculous. The derriere, just like the face, is quite loud.
The Navara can tow up to 7,700 pounds and comes with a payload capacity of 2,570 pounds. The company has increased its towing and payload capacities, but it has not released the figures yet. Perhaps black cladding for the edges would have given it a slightly rough look. Note: When loading heavy cargo, please follow owner's manual and secure the load properly to ensure safety. The wheels eat into the truck bed significantly.
Surprisingly, even the storage spots all around the cabin are on the lower side. That said, the cabin is spacious and everything is ergonomically perfect. On the outside, the Navara looks like nothing but a Nissan. They know exactly what the customers want and are dominating the market. It is a little curvy, especially around the rear door and the rear windows. As for the step-up behind, it looks like an after-thought. See even the Tacoma, for instance.
The Hilux has been around for 50 years now and the company knows how to keep it fresh and appealing. The bottom half seems cluttered with a lot of buttons in all shapes and sizes all around. The chassis is now stiffer and comes with new springs and dampers which should improve the overall ride and handling by a notch. The company has launched the sixth-generation now and it looks like a well-rounded package. How tough is that to make? The steering wheel is wrapped in leather and is a delight to hold.
