You guys should know this one...

What's up with these Triton motors?

I wasn't in the mood to listen to a lot of baloney from the salesman when I picked up my van, I could just tell by the pedal that the motor I picked had what I needed when I mashed it.

So what makes it a Triton? Hyper-eutectic pistons? Ceramic wally-knobbers? Maybe self changing oil? What's all the hooey?

Also, is there someplace I can find a nice K&N air filter for this thing?

clever marketing types make it a Triton. Or a Nissan Endurance or Toyota iForce.


The same marketing types that call a wedge head engine a Hemi.

My 2-cycle Lawn Boy mower has a HEMI head. I think I'll get a sticker for it.

AHA!

Just as I suspected.

So it's kinda like how Widgets never sell as well as the PRO-Widgets.

Go to www.knfilters.com

This is the homepage for K&N. It'll give you info on all their products and let you conduct a dealer search.
