Hi team,

Newbie here. I just paid my deposit for a 2016 Triton glx-r 2WD manual. Due at the dealers in a month.

This will be 99.9% road use, I'm getting a deck liner and paint protection coating, any other optional extras you would suggest for my new truck?


I'm in New Zealand by the way. I was looking at used utes, but the price for a new triton was so close to a used hilux, ranger etc, I thought I'd go new instead.

Forget the paint protection ita just rubbish, buy the tub liner its good towbars and other stuff go after market whatever you get the dealer to put on is almost double the price. , welcome to the triton club.

I would give the hard plastic tub liner a miss as well.
They move around a little and wear the paint off the ridges in the tray. Not a good look. Plus they are slippery as and gear slides around.
I used a cargo mat instead as it stopped everything from moving around.

What about an aftermarket tufdek liner?

Just another hard plastic liner.
I have never had one, but a lot of people like the spray or roll on liners

I have a rhino liner - spray on - its great. And Extreme and speedliner are equally as good.

Check out emdbug's MQ building page. He git the speedlight which looks great! He may have some feedback too

[Haydes55]

I've got a quote for a spray on liner now, not much more expensive than factory drop in liner. Sounds like I'll go with the spray on.

Also what price are the glx-r in aussie? I paid NZ$29,990 here

[Joel]

I dont think they do a 2wd here in aus so hard to compare apples with apples but the 4wd glxr here is around the $38k mark. Check out the 'how much did you pay for your mq' thread for comparison

She's finally arrived!

Hey I got one of those! but in black.

Kia ora bro, from Northland

Looking forward to seeing any mods ya get.

Still got the most important 'clocks'.

Funny how all the emotions went uncontrolled when the mq was first released and now most seem more accepting.

I think they look pretty good on the road.

I too would go the spray on over the slip in tub. Even a rubber mat over the spray on liner would offer the best outcome.

Does anyone else find their traction control hopeless? If I accelerate hard in the wet, it'll start skidding, even with traction control on. There's a corner on my commute to work in the morning, even taking it easy, in the wet it'll spin the wheels/inside wheel. The TC light has a disco but doesn't actually stop it spinning.

This is usually as the turbo spools up in second and third gears
