TOFFY TRITON BACK IN WORK GEAR

  By ,

Back in the day, most utes lived up their ‘utility’ tag, being up for almosanything. Since then, the tradies’ favoured transport has morphed into a cohort of shiny, lumbering limos, with dual cabs doubling as passenger compartments with all the creature comforts. With Ford and Toyota (not to mention RAM and other American muscle marques) leading the way, Ranger and HiLux have become genuine family favourites.
