Need ML Triton advice - accessories etc

[Urshtnme]

OK so there's a good chance that I'll be able to get a new 2007 Triton VR. I want to throw a few things on like bullbar, side steps, rear bumper, and canopy from ARB, new suspension / lift, all terrains & a tracklander roofrack.

OK so what have you guys got, what price did you get for them, what else do you have in place of ARB stuff and have you got photos or links to photos.

I need to get a ball park figure so I can get an idea of how much i need to salary sacrifice.

If you guys could help, I'd really appreciate it.

It's time to sell the Cruiser and upgrade to a good tourer that's not going to cost me a fortune in fuel.

Cheers again guys.

Congrats mate - hopefully you'd love a Triton as much as I love mine... and I'm certainly impressed with the fuel-economy :thumb:

There's quite a few threads in this section where ppl talk about their additions to their ML's, and mine is pretty plain compared to some of the nice rigs here so I can't be much more help than that I'm afraid.. I'm pretty sure another friendly Triton owner will be along shortly to give you some ideas...

Good luck and happy accessorising!!! :)

(FWIW my 07 plated GLX-R was $44k on-the-road with snorkel, tub-liner, towbar, rubber mats and front tint, but in hindsight I probably should have gotten a VR and put the difference towards ARB gear) EDIT: Incl. GST and with ABN & NSW Farmers m'ship

[Urshtnme]

$44k on road!! They've quoted me $49606 drive away!! And thats for a VR!!

What price have you guys been getting for your ML's?

[Mantis]

53k drive away for my DiD GLS, with headlight and bonnet protectors, floor mats, electronic rust proofing, rhino spray in tub liner, Genuine Canopy, oh and cruise control.....

Gotta love salary sacrifice...........

[Urshtnme]

Gotta love salary sacrifice...........

Thats exactly how I'm doing this!

[higgo72]

51k drive away,VR ,DID, diff lock , ARB canopy low profile smooth finish, tub liner, ARB bar, cruise, tow bar, tint, GLX/R floor mats, full tank of diesel, metalic paint silver.

When I take delivery 265/75/16 tyres and a snorkle the jury's still out on which snorkle.
IMHO I think its the best value dual cab on the market with the best warranty !!! ENJOY.

$48600.00, GLXR DID Cyber blue with the canopy, racks, tow pack and cruise. ALAS NO DIFF LOCK FKD UP THERE CANT RETRO FIT EITHER
The ARB price list which you can get freely puts these at ARB canopy standard height textured $2214.00 fitted, ARB Tradies rack $1468.00 fitted, ARB bullbar $1872.00 fitted, and a wheel alignment after that.(keep your fog lights as you can fit them into this bar, i havent done mine yet but tritor put up a thread on how to do it). the factory tow pack $440.00, cruise $650.00,I have a set of poly airbags on order $298.00 delivered plus a slab to fit them.

I dont have the snorkel yet TJM $500ish plus fitting and Safari dont have a price yet apparently.
TJM steel bars are about$1550 fitted and the aluminium one was about $1870.00.
Suspension, will wait a while and see what develops.

[BMS]

Ours was 44,800 for the GLX-R with diff lock ,ute liner and front window

[subi_man]

Thats exactly how I'm doing this!
Is there any way you can wrangle a NSW Farmers membership? There is (or was) a considerable saving for NSW Farmers members under some National Fleet Discount scheme ;)

If you aren't trading your old vehicle in, push for an additional No-trade discount as well

Hope that helps!

[Peruano]

I had $42,500 on road for a GLX-R DiD with Cruise, Tub liner, tow bar, and the soft tonneau. But I think I took a bit of a hit on my trade.

I still need to get a snorkel (TJM), some lightforce driving lights, and tyres and suspension will be later down the track.

[Mantis]

Oh yeah, how could I forget, I also went down the factory rear diff lock option.....

[Austblue]

For those posting their price could you edit to say whether it was GST included i.e if you're ABN holder?

Jan 07 GLXR DiD w/o diff lock $47.5k drive away w/o ABN.

Options: Sunroof, cruise, liner, tow, tints, rear bar, roof racks. That's all i can think of right now.

[subi_man]

Edited: 07 plated GLX-R $44k on-the-road with snorkel, tub-liner, towbar, rubber mats and front tint - incl. GST and with ABN & NSW Farmers m'ship

[higgo72]

No ABN, plus traded in VX Commodore.

[Austblue]

Subi, I thought with the ABN you didn't pay GST?

[BMS]

Any of you guys in WA and if you are, who do you recommend I go to?

I'm in WA mate.
We live in the south west so bought mine from the local guys.

Austblue you pay the gst when you purchase the car then claim
it back so all prices should include gst

bms

[subi_man]

Subi, I thought with the ABN you didn't pay GST?
It's still paid upfront, but of the $44K we can claim back $3,827.18 in GST.

Cheers

EDIT: I type too slowly!

[Peruano]

Mine was with ABN, and forgot to add the Diff lock also.

[Mantis]

Mine was with ABN aswell, sorry forgot to mention that...

Cheers, Shane.

[Austblue]

BTW I shopped around and in the end I paid ~$350 to have mine trucked down from brisbane through Paul Wakeling Campbelltown, NSW. I don't see why you couldn't ring around across the country to find the right price and the right truck save having to wait and or pay too much. I don't service mine at paul wakeling and everything they fitted bar the c/c and sunroof can be warrantied at any stealership.

[OldManGrump]

46k Sunroof,headlight and bonnett, diff lock, weathersheild, tubliner, HD towkit, Softtarp, the GLX-R mats in the rig are standed, Fleet and ABN

Note: Went 2nd Option Delete Hardcover and sport's bar, include HD towkit soft tarp and tubliner instead

What's the gap like between the wheel arch (Flare) and the top of the bar

There was one in Dandy Mits with a huge gap almost 30-40 mm

[OldManGrump]

I had $42,500 on road for a GLX-R DiD with Cruise, .


Where did u get the Cruise, I thought it wasn't a option

[Austblue]

Sunroof isn't an option either except with the GLS. Most if not all dealers will have an aftermarket supplier that they'll go through. You would probably get it cheaper on your own but by using them you have more chance of it not being blamed for every warranty claim.

I commute 180kms per day so I wouldn't have bought it w/o c/c

The Sunroof is an option across all Dualcabs GLX to GLS, I wanted the cruise but was told it wasn't an option on the DID, this info was from Dandenong Mits, there sales staff are a bunch dipshits, service staff have pick up there game and are one of the best I have delt with, sorry getting of subject agian.

[Austblue]

Re: sunroof, option from the factory? I was told different by all the dealers but then as you say, they're mostly dipshits :)

[Peruano]

Our mates from Dandy! It's an aftermarket unit. Works well but the positioning is useless!!!

[Magilla]

In reply to Oldmangrumps question about the gap between the flares and the bullbar, 15mm at the back 20mm at the front, after hearing about the one you saw this makes me feel better about mine now. The Cruise control is I think an Auscruise by Autron, $650 according to my dealers quote from when i bought the car. You would think that Mitsi. would have something, you cant tell be it would be that far removed from a Paj.

Didn't get your's from Dandy did you? Mikey was my dipshit salesman. Did Dandy fit your unit

[OldManGrump]

Sorry didn't mean from factory, there all dealer fit (Sunroof) even the GLS I think?

[T-Rat]

My bother just got a 2007 GLX-R DID manual metallic paint,diff lock,tub liner,HD towbar for $44- all up on road drive away.Thats with no ABN or anything just hard bargaining.

You guys who are not getting the Hard cover & sports bar with your GLX-R did they do it cheaper for you ?


thx
Rat

[Peruano]

Didn't get your's from Dandy did you? Mikey was my dipshit salesman. Did Dandy fit your unit

Yep. I had Don, he wasn't bad, but I got tired of having to explain to him how the paperwork side goes and which forms we need etc. :crazy:

Dandy fit the unit and it looks good, just in a terrible position. At least it beats the detailing job they did on the car!!

T-Rat, I got a discount with mine for exluding the hard cover and bar. I don't remember how much but I think it pretty much covered the cost of a few of the other accessories.

[dale robinson]

Got mine from Mareeba Mazda/Mish with front and back wetsuit type triton seat coves, head and bonnet pro's, silver paint,new goodyear tyers A/T's,rally 4000's with HID kit in them and uniden UHF all fitted for $47k with out a abn number the salesman was great and did not bull shit me.Sorry also got diff lockers
