Safety
Both 5-star ANCAP. The Triton was tested in 2024 under the latest protocols. The Navara was tested in 2022. Both have AEB, lane keep, and adaptive cruise. The Triton's newer test is a genuine advantage. Compare safety specs on CarSorted.
Features
The Triton GLX+ gets a 9-inch screen, wireless Apple CarPlay, and LED headlights. The Navara ST gets an 8-inch screen, Apple CarPlay (wired), and halogen headlights. The Triton feels more modern inside for $1,300 more.
CarSorted Data Insight
Based on CarSorted's database of Australian vehicles: the Triton and Navara are the only two utes with 10-year warranties. Every other major ute (Ranger, HiLux, D-Max) offers 5-6 years. For tradies who keep their ute 7+ years, this warranty coverage alone could save $3,000-5,000 in potential repair costs.
The Triton's 150kW is the same output as the Toyota HiLux SR5, but the Triton costs $16,460 less ($43,690 vs $60,150). It's one of the cheapest 150kW+ utes with 4WD in our database.
The Verdict
Buy the Triton if: you drive under 200,000km in 10 years (most people), want better fuel economy (7.6L/100km), more power (150kW/470Nm), and a newer safety rating.
Buy the Navara if: you drive high kilometres for work and need the unlimited km warranty, or you prefer the extra 8mm of ground clearance (235mm vs 227mm) for off-road.

Our take (written 5 April 2026)
The Triton is $4,300 cheaper and wins on power (150kW vs 140kW), torque (470Nm vs 450Nm), fuel economy (7.6 vs 7.9L/100km), and has a newer 2024 ANCAP rating. The Navara counters with more ground clearance (235mm vs 227mm) and an unlimited km warranty (vs 200,000km cap). For tradies doing high kilometres, the Navara's unlimited warranty is the differentiator. For everyone else, the Triton is the better ute.
