On the other hand, we have the European version of the Triton/Strada pickup which saw it's own debut last year in November in Thailand. This was named the L200, which saw great strides in both performance and reliability. It got the title of "The ultimate sport utility truck" with spacious interiors to the extent of a passenger vehicle. It's engine runs on a turbocharged 2.4 liter MIVEC diesel engine, with a high power output. The engine makes use of a geometry turbocharger to provide the desired efficiency. To aid drivers with poor road conditions and irregular terrains, the Super Select 4WD-II drivetrain was employed in four wheel drive models. It also houses a powerful, dynamic and sporty design with muscular surfaces and edgy character lines. Using sound-absorbant and vibration-absorbing, damping materials, noise levels in the vehicle have been reduced to a bare minimum to deliver a smooth, easy ride. It's reinforced impact safety body structure has seven SRS airbags to aid in case of a crash. Safety is also provided with Trailer Stability Assist( TSA ) keeping it on the lines in events of strong side winds and another feature, the Lane Departure Warning provides an elaborate warning system to prevent the driver from drifting out of his lane.
