thanks for the update john very much appreciated 😉😉
I got an instant trouser tepee when you mentioned the red accents on the sports model.
Leaking documents... Thanks John.
Hi John, love your channel. Mate off subject question, but where did you get your reader glasses frome they are awsome and need a pair just like that, thanks in advance.
Al
Good one John! Thanx
Thanks!
You should get a Chrissy card from Mitsubishi Australia because you have been (rightly) complimentary about the Triton and the Pajero Sport. If you can find out when they are going to Nissanise these two models I would like to know so I can trade up my current spec PS for a new one before it gets the Nissan treatment.
Nissan doesnt have anything like the Pajero Sport, not since the R51 Pathfinder. The only true 4wds are the Patrol (too fu#@en big) and the Navarra (new Triton).
@@Wdeane1957 they will probably integrate the new Triton(Navara) specs to the Pajero Sport like they did with the old generation. Like all ute based SUVs fortuner/hilux etc.
@@erichyun6065 It the 'platform' is going to be Nissan, we could lose the current engine/trans combo of the Paj Sport/Triton which would be a great pity.
Agree......I'm thinking the same thing - was going to buy a Pajero Sport but the GLS is now around $60k and I only wanted one.....
Once the Nissan-Renault Empire gets hold of it, I suspect any quality Mitsubishi engineering will go down the toilet in the name of the almighty $ and have it all supported by lawyers.
Toyota FanBoiz rejoice !!!
Can we get the petrol V8 from the Patrol in the Triton then? That'd be great
Super select 2.
Brilliant feature.
My 09 PB Challenger has it.
Stick shift engagement however 👍 No fancy twist knob.
Fantastic when things get slippery on the highway. Easily switch on at 100kph.
Nothing better than a knob to grab rather than a switch to tickle
PB Challenger has Super Select One. The only difference is the selector. One has a mechanical lever to select drive modes. Two is an electronic selector lever or dial.
I wish MItsubishi (and other car makers) would release brochures for public consumption that read like the Product Information Bulletins for Triton and ASX. No marketing fluff or other BS, just the facts car buyers actually need i.e. features, specifications, dimensions, available colours etc.
BTW thanks for uploading those, John. Here's hoping you don't cop too much blowback for your trouble.
The brochure I had in my hot little hand from Mitsubishi a year and a half ago had a middle section which quite literally was the entire range tabulated with all of their features. Laid out in a nice easy to read fashion. It was funny because the rest of the entire brochure was irrelevant marketing wank.
I'm not sure if thet still do this but it was actually handy.
@@towarzyszbeagle6866 Yeah, you gotta love all that Masturbatory Kreedledite
I miss getting a brochure to look at and read thru. Bring them back Mitsi.
Hey John, love your channel. I am interested to know what wrist watch your wearing in this video?
Thank you
Gold. Thanks a lot.
Here in Mexico the price of the GLX 4x4 manual gearbox is 600,000 pesos, which equals $30,000 USD. It’s about another $4k US for the GLS with the auto and higher trim level.
Lucky.. 2 seater crew cap is approx 45k$ in nok.. if you like 5 seater its close to 100 k $ in (lots of tax in Norway for cars like this.. )
Es buen precio . En Australia son muy caros. Recomiendas Mitsubishi tritón para todo terreno y trabajo pesado ?
Is the pricing in the dealer document download the new pricing after Oct 13?
I heard they'll be a Toby Price edition too... That'll come with orange stripes and a free KTM sticker!
There has been in the past
@@jed8five897 Yep, this I'm aware of
Let's hope the electronics are not KTM !!
Would you suggest waiting for the my23 triton or get one now
If the driveway is slippery, why cant I engage 4H with no center diff?
If you were on the waiting list, how happy would you be to find out they have made 400 specials?
Hi John,
I really enjoy all your reports, I was just wondering when we can see you doing more car reviews as on road testing segments.
I think no car maker would give john a car to review, hes too honest.
@@ajimaster287 Just like Scotty Kilmer! He's always saying that same thing 😅
@@labourlawact7826 Isn't Scotty a TFB (Toyota Fan Boi ) ?
@@davidnobular9220 He is. And rightly so.
@@labourlawact7826 Is that because they don't have HiLuxes and Fortuners in the US ?
Asking for a friend....
You may very well get the card ,I'm picking that you have just generated some interest for them ,and as you proclaim,it's still good value in the segment line up ,sad is that it will be grouped in the lower favoritism ranks with the others such and G wall,Ssanyonn,T60 etc ,but it might be the winner in that company of vehicles .
The next generation Triton ,wonder what that might be derived from ,will it be Ram products ?think there has been camouflage something's spotted in the USA !
A sport Ute should be that ,sporty look,sporty feel to drive
Sporty comfort with safety ,good ride abilities,better wheels and tyres and tuned for the Australian and NZ market .
Sporty must mean a slightly bigger engine,real tow capacity??
Just wondering if your own order is in for a New Ute ,maybe they can make the decals for your one to read Expert Pack in Silhouette gun metal grey ?
Love the magnetic spec's !
am i reading this right? Only the GSR GLS top of the line models get keyless start??? I mean... that seems so 2013...
SAM could mean Sport Accents Model. Maybe. It's like putting the "Warlock" decals on Navara some years ago (they weren't even too good looking) and hoping to sell.
I heard that the Nissan frontier and the L200 have the same all wheel drive system for the 2023 models; is there any truth in that
I would of thought they might of made the Triton look more rugged than sporty. The DP Creekers would be love that.
I would HAVE thought they might HAVE made the Triton look more rugged. I would’ve thought they might’ve ………
Give us an address so we can inundate you with chrissy cards John.
Another excellent, hard hitting and straight report - thanks for keeping us in the know.
Allocations are generally based on sales volume.
Those decals would help performance for sure..
They make it go fast and handle good.
hey buddy I'm Joey big fan of you, keep up the good work
i bought a brand new WHITE triton GLXR. very short while the paint started being discussing, chalky, stains, leaving finger marks behind took it back to the dealer i bought it from they only offered me to polish it. I took it to 3 other Mitsubishi dealers they said this is not normal they should do something about it. took it to couple of crash repairers/ car painters they said this is stupid. I have been chasing them for 2 years and all they do toy me around. it had never been of road, mostly parked in garage. please tell me what to do.
I believe that the ute has been sighted in the USA. I don't understand. There's literally no single cab long bed cowboy cadillacs. You can still get a long bed in a full size 1/2 ton pickup. But they are like 12" off the ground.
So when is the nissan navara / triton hybrid thing coming out that was mooted a while back?
The problem with John's new 'tool background' is that none of them look used.
the big tool in shot definitely is 😜
I would like to know what's in those blue trays on the wall and how he gets what's in them out.......😆
He's the only person I know who keeps a mitre saw bolted to a wall.
John's a tool himself . Used & abused by His exes . 😉
@@leighgreenwood3331 he has covered it before.
My missus has a triton and you can’t reverse up the wet driveway without 4H. Great car for the price
SAM is an acronym for Special Action Model.
The fun never ends.
Thanks JC. You glorious bas......
Wan...
Bon...
Based? Yeah, I'd agree with that. John is based af.
Is this the "rally art" edition that is now available in the Philippines 🤔
Where can I get a pair of those frickin’ magnetic reading glasses ?
Hi John as much as the Mitsubishi brand is well priced and high specs in comparison to the said Ranger Bt50. I do agree the super select mode is fantastic but their lack of a proper fix or parts for the tailgate issue on the 2022 Parjero sport range that has been ongoing now for the past six months across multiple vehicles leaves alot to be desired. Dealership blames MMAL Technical Support but in the meantime customers are left with a tailgate that works sometimes or not at all with no proper communication or repair from the land of the rising sun.
Keep up the great work and keep them honest 👍🏻
I was shocked & my good wife very upset when she returned home from the Mitsushtime dealership in Werribee.
Her ASX was in for a 45,000km's book service, a minor service I may add at the stunning cost of $464. The most expensive oil change in history.
60K is NOT a good price ... that's 10k more than I was quoted a couple of years ago
Yeah but the price of everything else has gone through the stratosphere.
@@Will-nb8qk ... if you compare ... but all prices are INSANE now because of those stupid covid restrictions
V6 Ranger, 4A (automatic), electronic control wet clutch pack instead of centre pinion differential.
Sounds great for the plan of planned obsolescence tbh.
The base model is any model that is fitted with a bass banging sub woofer.
Tnink the term the salesman are forced to use is, entry level.
Many uses of the words "sport" and "sporty" in this article. Just wondering, in which sports are farm vehicles or work utes with or without sidesteps an advantage? Shooting perhaps - surely not motorsport.
Why don’t they bite the bullet and make these fancy sidesteps out of steel rather than alloy or plastic? Black with red stripes of course.
Its called cost savings method
@@dolguldur4706 can’t imagine that the cost of steel sidesteps would be much higher than alloy?
why , so they dont break ? aaayyyyy lmao.
@@deontaywallaceescalade steel break?
@@dolguldur4706
"Cost saving", "profit increasing", or a combo of those methods 😁
All future MMC Correspondence will only be sent Mission Impossible style, IE Sunglasses that self destruct in 5 seconds...
I find it funny that ASX also means The Australian Securities (Stock) Exchange. Maybe Mitsu is thinking of floating it, in which case, I hope it's waterproof. ps. One of my best friends recently ordered one. It'll be interesting to see whether it lives up to the (albeit muted) hype.
I don't know about Australia; but in the US market typically when something is called a sport trim, it usually means stripper. Which is to say, cheap.
accurate translation into murican.
The Ranger V6 Models have an All-Wheel Drive System with the drive mode options - 2WD, 4A, 4H, and 4L.
No dude. The drive modes listed are STANDARD for V6 models, not options.
@@trickster8635 yea I did not mean that like that I meant to say with these options of drive mode
I presume it can do 4H on high traction surfaces and open centre diff, with no issues ?
@@davidnobular9220 yes it can but not 4 H in 4A which is a smart all Wheel Drive mode with power distribution on demand on all 4 wheels
I’m up for the black pack and sack wax.
And here I was thinking you were gonna start giving some stock market advise ='D
Got the bearing for that fingernail trimmer yet ?
I wonder if I can get Mitsubishi to replace the absolute terrible 3rd party head unit that came in my 21 GLS now that the official unit seems to be getting used again.
Just have to complain enough I guess....
So if people start contacting their local dealer inquiring about the 2023 Sports pack Triton, MMA will be going WTF as it's not planned on being advertised
How about MAL offer a sporty upgrade to the power output or possibly share some details of the next gen Triton due to come out in 2024…. just saying!
Sport/Sporty is the most ridiculous word to describe any aspect of a diesel dual cab ute. Probably more suited to a BMW M Series vehicle, or a Porsche,
With exception of the Toyota Hilux V6 4.0 L HRD that was released about 15 years ago .
Came for some comments on those magnetic glasses …
They keep his trouser teepee pointing north.
mate your got a great setup in the fat cave, what are you creating
Sports model with red trim!!! Yes!!! Red goes faster.
sheesh, settle down.
Red bits on a triton I’m down there tomorrow 😂😂😂
Why they haven’t put adaptive cruise in yet is beyond me.
Because not everyone wants to replace brake pads every 10,000ks and they know it
Hey John,
Could you do a video on the new/newish KIA's and Hyundais that are stupid easy to steal with the help of a USB cable and if these vehicles are affected here in Australia?
Look up the "KIA BOYS" for more information.
Thanks mate
It only happens when the car doesn't have a mobiliser. Also it doesn't affect cars with start/stop push button. Luckily here in Australia, they do include them as early as 2001 cos it is mandatory.
@@garylee5160 makes sense, i was reading into it and it doesnt effect Canada because they have it mandatory to have immobilisers as well where as in the USA its not.
Thanks bud!
@@garylee5160 push button is far easier to steal than an immobilizer key. They just plug in and reprogram. Then drive off.
@JGM totally get where you are coming from. Once you have the fob key, the car is gone. What is in context here is about using the usb method to steal the car. I would have faith Without the fob key which works as the immobiliser, it would make the car harder to steal here. Happy to be proven wrong here.
@@garylee5160 they rip off the steering column covers and then remove the ignition barrel.
The way the ignition barrel interacts with the starter switch on the column is by a tab the exact size as a usb cable end.
So the stick the cable end into the tab as if they were inserting it into a wall charger adapter to give enough leverage to be able to turn it and the vehicle will start.
Just need the dealer's to replace the rubbish head units from 2022 glx-r under warranty to the newer unit.
Hey John, you've been very busy of late, trying to keep up. Thanks, just the same 👍🏻
No worries Brett - thank you for watching mate.
$10k per video?
I love my Outlander but Mitsubishi no longer sells cars in the UK or Europe. Bad move.
Can't really see there being any blowback from releasing 'top secret information' on two shitboxes.
Slipping in 2wd? I can put my 85 Jackaroo or 73 Land Rover into 4wd.. Never broken a thing doing so.. also did the same thing in old Patrols, Pajeros (Pre Super Select), Cruisers and Prados... Nothing broke, nothing wore out..
Can even run em that way on dry surfaces.. Land Rover did it in 48... Don't do it for long distances though.
Nice TShirt John, just sayin for a friend, Mr Stark.
Es ist herr Stark.
@@pablostark1665 WOW, So glad you could make it!!
Don't worry John, I will add you to my Christmas Card list if Mitsubishi get the shits with you.
JC, you've been unusually silent on the potential upcoming recession/depression and the impact on motor vehicle sales/values. Any chance of some coverage on this? Perhaps we are seeing much more of an impact in the US (car loans, repossessions, backlog in auction yards as well as the circa 15% drop in used car values), as compared to here in Aus. Would be great to see/hear your thoughts on the global financial issues currently being faced and how this will impact Aussies and the current and short term car market.
The U.S has a massive used car market to be fair
The good ol sticker packs 🙄
Nothing makes a ute tougher than slapping on 5 bucks of bogan vinyl and charging thousands more for it. And, in a terrible indictment of human gullibility, punters lap it up.
You've said nothing Mitsubishi needs to be embarrassed about, ok they have some dicky decals etc but the car is great value as you have so suggested and great against what the other dealers have for way more price, they are a great car 👍
Be great Ute if they update the 15yr old engine to V6 Diesel or 3L petrol. They would get more of the market.
See a lot around as business vehicles. Not a lot for towing due to engine size.
The 4N15 has only been out since 2015 and is a solid motor. Plenty of them towing too. Engine size is comparable to most other dual cabs anyway, with exception to Amarok and the new Ranger upper spec’d model.
Maybe do a bit better research before commenting
The 2.4 donk only came out in 2015
@@cackle067 Engine was developed in 2006 and came into production in 2010. Same engine just had few upgrades.
@@hayden7299 in same boat as 4JJ3 engine is not been out for 2yrs. Just another upgrade of same engine. Mitsubishi have done same it’s a 4N1X engines, same design few upgrades
@@bushmagpie3312 previously Mitsubishi used the 4M40/1 then the 4D56. Then in the MQ released in 2nd half of 2015 the 4N15 engine. We are in 2022 now thats 7 years, not 15.
All Dealers do these revised models before the new models roll thru nothing new
Am I silly to be wishing for a plug-in hybrid ASX?
no just gay, I guess they're the same thing. it's whatever
So sports edition = people wearing active wear in Kmart yeah?
Hey John, thought the Triton was going become a rebaged Navara next year (2023)?
Yeah - maybe, or the other way around. But they're still selling the current one until then.
Please don't let the Trilux be a badge engineered Missan.
This is ancient news but then again I do work for Bitso
The dealer docs aren't available anywhere else.
Oh my mistake!, I am quite Miffed the sport model doesn’t come equipped with the Genuine Sports Bar, I need to clearly work my way up the ladder with this suggestion
Oh and PS, the cost is increasing to $90k lol.
"Red accents"? Are they Russian? Chinese? Cuban? I'm curious!
Super select prob will come to nissan.
You'd hope so if you're a Nissan buyer - transmissions have been their achilles heel for 20 years.
@@andoletube My biggest fear is that the Unholy Alliance will replace SS 2 with CVT !!
I had a nightmare about it last night.....
@@davidnobular9220 That would be a nightmare, but Nissan has started moving away from CVTs and back to conventional autos in certain models. Presumably they've finally realised that CVTs are hopeless for anything involving any degree of torque and power - and generally prone to failure. And since they have access to the SS2, you'd think it might make its way into some Nissan models now - with a different name, of course. Even if it's a relatively expensive drivetrain, the development is already done, it's proven reliable, so much less money spent of a new transmission with failures. They'd be mad to ignore it unless there's some legal reason why Mitsubishi has exclusive rights to use it.
@@andoletube I agree....but often, chasing profit (particularly in the short term) does not necessarily involve common sense....
Why not bring out a tow pack, or a trade pack with racks etc or even a camp pack with a winch or something. Different paint is just bullshit.
Excellent points - both suggestions way more relevant to real users.
Black leather what about a whip to go with it.
Looks like someone had a copy and paste fest. All the options look the same.
John,
please lose the split apart magnetic glasses when doing your videos. They are so distracting...in a bad way.

hey daza i pay for my service 400$ in adelaide and they don't change the air filter becuase was clean..they just change oil and oil filter and thats it..
Sadly Mitsubishi have pulled the plug here in England (and Europe too ?)... so we shall never get to see the next generation of the L200.
wait what?! 😮
Sporty Red accents? back to the 80's, woo-hoo
Triton will be my next ute , SS2 is a no brainer, and the coin saved against the other brands will go to the kids school fund. BTW, my MY 17 LTZ ( formerly) Holden Colorado is performing perfectly. Shame they don’t make them anymore.
You sure you don't want to dice with Ranger Danger...?? You know, V6 and all that.....
I am a mechanic entering my 35th year in the trade, from what goes through my shop, Triton is at the top , Nissan at the bottom, Ranger somewhere in the lower half .
@@biastv1234 Don't worry......The Nissan/Renault Empire will crush this little indiscrepancy.....
You are sadly correct. The end of the mighty Triton may be just around the corner.
@@biastv1234 The TFBs WILL be happy....
Not sure if you've been played here John... or is that paid?
No advertising, but "leaked" to a popular Australian TH-camr. 🤔
By a dealer. No $$ changed hands.
Sports pack! Just another name for the crappy looking Ralliart dress up kit they offer here in Thailand. And is the 2023 all Mitsubishi or has it been Nissanized? Nissanized makes it a shit vehicle thereby eliminating it from my list.
I drive a new triton at work. I like it, but the seats are very uncomfortable, and the roof line feels low. I also drive the BT50 3.2. It's very much better than the Ford Ranger 2.2 diesel we had. I must observe that the BT50 had some terrible things about it. I had to change the tyre following a puncture. The wheel nuts should have been solid...They only look like they are. Mazda has used open nuts surrounded by a pressed cover that makes them look like dome nuts. Horrible. The covers spin around the nuts! Had to chisel them off! Also, the spare wheel has a black rim. The wheels are silver. So put the spare on and it's 3 silvers and one black. Christ! And then there's cheaply made crappy tyre changing kit. Very poorly designed and hard to use. My subaru is so much better in this area.
Yeah...but Subaru = CVT so you have my sympathies.
I prefer the triton seats than the ones in our bt50 or Dmax. Triton shock absorbers however, feel like they've been to the proverbial dingo creek every week for a couple of years. Only 4000kms.
I don't know how Mitsubishi could stuff up the suspension so badly in the Triton and not even attempt to rectify the issues. It's fatiguing to drive on our shit Victorian roads.
Buys a ute made for carrying loads and whines about the suspension 😆
I do love in these how its the only admit that their products are shit.... or at least the old one is lol
now that mitsy has married nissan. one wonder how much better they evolve. or disappear completely
I'd buy a triton if i was in the market for such a vehicle.
Good value and the best looking of them all IMO.
Re; The current Triton commercial…..When Nick says ‘I’ve been with Disaster Australia for around five years now…’
I automatically think, ahhh, you were part of the Liberal Government then….
Really John, your bias is so bloody obvious. This is nothing more than an add for Mitsubishi.
I wish Cardigan which stop the ridiculous and crazy talk he engages in
Ancient triton 😆
