    We drive the Mitsubishi Triton GLX Plus and see what this ute is like to drive.
    The Mitsubishi Triton is a durable and good-value alternative to more popular utes like the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger. Does the Triton deserve more attention? After a comprehensive facelift, it’s now a better looking vehicle, and there is no denying that it is much more affordable than most rivals - and it has a ten year warranty.
    Should the 2021 Triton be on your consideration list? Or do alternatives like the Nissan Navara and Volkswagen Amarok make more sense? Tom considers the Mitsubishi Triton GLX+ in today’s video.
    What do you think of this ute? Leave a comment below.

    Best ute out there hands down in my opinion... one MASSIVE advantage that no one talks about is the super active 4wd systems lets you run the car in AWD on sealed roads... makes the car insanely more safer and stable on wet roads, gravel roads etc.

      Yes tend to agree, I still drive a awd v8 holden adventra, if they (4x4utes) all did this I'd think allot more about upgrading, but the ride quality on my 17yr old commodore beast is just too good for what it is and cost. I've driven the new Triton, boss has one and it's growing on me. Seeing them everywhere now.

    This GLX+ model cannot be driven in 4W high on bitumen as it uses the more basic Easy Select transmission. To get that awesome AWD feature you need to go to the GLS model that has the Super Select 11 transmission. Definitely worth it if you can stretch to that financially.

    Great review mate. I usually mute the reviews and Observe the interior and exterior, but you are very straight to the point. I bought the same triton, apart for the bull bar. Honestly it's great.
    For all the off road drivers, the ute comes with, factory, front diff, transfer case and transmission breathers. So you only need the rear diff breather. Note: don't buy the Mitsubishi snorkels. Waste of money.

  • @reko3103
    @reko3103 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I think one thing to consider before buying the Triton is the wheelbase; which is shorter than its rivals. This comes with it's own set of advantages and disadvantages. It may make it easier to maneuver around town but you have to contend with the long rear overhangs. So when carrying heavier items, much of the weight will be behind the rear axles. If you look at the rear doors you'll notice they are at an angle to accommodate the intruding rear wheel arches.

    • @anthonyramdin1037
      @anthonyramdin1037 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      While the short wheel base is not ideal for clearance, there's nothing wrong with it's load carrying ability. It handles load just as well as others. In indonesia, malaysia, philippines these things carry 1.5-2.0 tons on a regular basis off road and never bend their chassis cause mitsubishi has strengthened the chassis since the mn days and continually improved through the mq life cycle. Clearance wise, once you drive to suit the vehicles dimensions it won't be a huge hindrance.

    • @sorrrbet4923
      @sorrrbet4923 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@anthonyramdin1037 This is both correct and incorrect. Chassis strengthening will only go so far, I've seen 79 series that were overloaded too far in the rear and bent the chassis, it's a problem that lies in driver's failure to properly distribute weight.
      In terms of putting trays on, warranty will be voided at any tray longer than 1650 mounted, which can be an issue for some tradies who need the full standard 1800 tray, however usually it works out just fine.

    • @rossawood5075
      @rossawood5075 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This is the current Triton's Achilles heel, great for 4WD'ing, reasonable for load but a real negative for heavier towing due to the greater leverage placed on a longer distance to rear from Tritons shorter wheelbase.
      This is an issue and there have been a number of bent chassis from slide on campers on the earlier Triton that I believe Mitsibishi attempted to deal with by strengthen the chassis in the rear axle area.
      Having said that this has happened to other brands however the Triton IMO is more likely to suffer this.
      The new as yet unreleased in Oz has a longer wheelbase for a reason.
      However this can also be user error not recognising the greater rear leverage on the shorter wheelbase Triton.

So if driving around town looking cool is your bag, the GLXR is a great choice. But if you want to actually go off-road with your new Triton, the GLX+ is a better option. If you want both, you’ll need to lash out on the GLS which starts at $47490.

If your going to keep a FWD for a decade then wait 2 years and get one off lease for way less at auction.. In that case I would get the SR5 purely for it's artificially inflated resale value that pushes the price down at auction simply due company depreciation claims vs actual capital loss.

Only scheduled services need to he completed at dealership to maintain the warranty so any other repairs, damage etc could still be done elsewhere and maintain warranty anyway.

      @@user-vy1zq9pg2n It's a small diesel engine that is not wound up very tight. To remove the throttle lag would require releasing the car with a higher level tune, therefore decreasing reliability. I agree with Michael in that not properly managing the throttle lag, of which's existence you were aware, is more a reflection on your failure to properly account for it.
      It is quite easily fixed with a throttle controller or tune if no lag is something you need, however I find the throttle lag rather useful in extreme offroad situations where I can recover from a split second of actually putting my foot down too hard or too soft without having an effect on the performance

My 5 cents worth...pay the extra to get the models that come with the Super Select 4wd system, this system DOES allow an AWD type setting for the road and is a truly massive advantage that none of the competition offers. I have a Triton in GLS spec and leave it permanently in AWD mode and the added safety can't be underestimated, you definitely notice the added grip especially on loose surfaces when unladen.

    I own a new GSR. Everything is great about it except three things: the worst version of roller tonneau I have ever seen whether because the local dealer is one of the worst and the fitters kept saying they have never fitted one before (already 2 screws dropped off the canopy unbeknown to me) and Triton really should have tuned the engine to produce a minimum of 140kW/$450Nm. The auto really struggles on hills, and despite a torque converter slow to start from a stand still. Even with leather the seats are not that supportive for the driver's thighs. Unless you fit a bull bar you lose the front camera which gets hidden under a nudge bar and if you fit a driving light bar it is perilously closer to the bottom of the front risking damage and loses the distance for which you installed it. Other than that very quiet, smooth and will tick most of the boxes and certainly value for money.

ASX, Outlander and Eclipse Cross are built on the same GS platform dating back to 2006 with the same wheelbase. Old engines and bland interiors. Several badges will have already released their next gen dual cabs before the new Triton is launched in 2022. Sales are down 30% in 2020.
