The old adage that goes “better be safe than sorry” couldn’t ring truer than when considering vehicle safety. More than just rough and tough, the 2022 Next Gen Ford Ranger proves that a great pickup truck and class-leading safety don’t have to be mutually exclusive traits. Simply because it doesn’t matter if you’re at work, with family or at play – safety is paramount. The 2022 Next Gen Ranger now raises the bar with an improved array of active safety systems that were developed using Computer-A

Finally, after six years in the market, the mother trucker has gotten a major revision. Though only the Pro-4X variant is previewed, the new 2021 Nissan Navara NP300 (D23) has received some truly A+ grade action-packed looks – keeping it as up-to-date as its rivals.

In the wilderness of Lawas, Sarawak, a fleet of 100 Mitsubishi Tritons are deployed to transport workers of Samling Group around rough roads to carry out work for their gas pipeline industry. Site Manager Mr. Lee is one of the workers that pilot a 2019 Mitsubishi Triton. He describes Lawas as “Triton Territory” as the terrain gets less friendly the further you venture out. Since he and his team are required to travel approximately 100 to 200 km off-road daily, a Triton is the perfect workhorse.

Toyota has quietly registered the GR Hilux name in Australia, hinting that the company could be injecting its Gazoo Racing goodness into the Hilux. While Australia is no stranger to high-performance pick-up trucks (much of the Ford Ranger Raptor’s development work was done in Australia), could the GR Hilux find its way to Malaysia?
