- The top specification Mitsubishi Triton is only slightly more expensive than the 4x4 entry-level Ford Ranger bi-turbo. But, it comes with a stack more features. So, should you consider it? Paul Maric tests it out to see whether it's worth the cash!

![[TH] VCT Pacific - Playoffs Grand Final // PRX vs GEN](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/G345ud5yRGA/mqdefault.jpg)
I've been driving my GLS through the national parks in the Blue Mountains every second weekend or so since I got it in 2019. This test is like showing an acreage property driveway. With a set of mud tyres it has seriously blown me away the stuff it can drive through, and then gets me 8L/100 to and from work every day. The way it performs in low range is just fantastic. I haven't touched the top of my dash in 3 years so I couldn't care less how hard the material is. For $40k, absolutely zero regrets. For myself, it wasn't about how fancy the interior was, when you're at the top of a mountain that's the last thing that's on my mind. I wanted a proven engine and drivetrain.
We bought a new 2017 Triton for the farm. Hasn’t missed a beat and is comfortable enough. Not interested in a 20 speaker sound system or all the other fancy boy rubbish that the others come with. It easily tows a horse float with two horses on board. It’s a work horse not a sports car, and to that end it’s brilliant. We were so impressed with it that we bought a 2019 GLS Pajero sport.
Pig underpowered at that , rates just above sanyong or Great Wall , mahrinda is a better ute
quite old
@@tyzon00800 the Maharindra Pikup has 103kw and 320nm, the Mitsubishi Triton has 133kw and 430nm of torque.
I'm not sure how you can call the Triton underpowered and yet call the Maharindra a better ute.
Pfft you and your diesel engine fancy pants stuff. My old horse and carriage does the job. No need for that fancy sports farm car stuff.
No reason why it can't be a work horse and comfortable at the same time. It won't make you any less manly just because you're comfortable.
The most underrated dual cab Ute out there in terms of reviews
@ChristopherH Definitely not their only strong point. They are just as reliable as a Toyota Hilux, better offroad than most other utes if not the best, and the Super Select 2 4WD system is just better than any other 4WD system on the market right now. An sure, they make less power on paper but they are 200kg lighter than the UTEs so you don't feel the lack of power at all. The 3100kg tow rating is more realistic than other UTEs since that still leaves 400kg of payload before it being over loaded, where if you tow 3500kg with the other UTEs (Which is stupid) you are very close to it being over GVM
@@Bekkies17 fully agree and they are more reliable than hilux. D4d was rubbish and the 2.8 has had it's fair share of problems
@@anthonyramdin1037more reliable than a Hilux?? you clearly don’t know Toyota is reliable and Mitsubishi is like known for unreliability…
Joe from Namibia here ,I have a Triton Athlete from 2018. She's still pulling strong and purring like a kitten. Triton is one of best, affordable and underrated 4x4 out there. I have done 92k km so far , around 30k of those were done on gravel roads. Until now, knock on wood, no problems have been encountered.
I bought my 2021 orange GSR last year. Love the colour, I went with the black interior though. It's super comfortable and goes great off road. I've done plenty of 4wding in Victoria and last summer I took it to Tasmania and did some awesome tracks over there. Such an underrated ute. My previous ute was a 2013 MN Triton
I was a Triton owner 2016 and it was fantastic. Super reliable, never had an issue.
If you know what your walking into and knowing your going to get what you need, not what's the best or the best features wise you will be a very happy buyer. Would highly recommend.

“Was” 2016 till even now is not a huge indicator of long term longevity.
Twin locked, tuned 2020 Triton on 33's, drives practically everything I point it at 👌
whats twin locked? 33s?
I got the new shape Triton in Feb 2019. Just ticked over 90,000k’s. Still going great. Has all the features you mentioned in this one. On freeway I get about 8-9l/per 100km. Around town it’s usually low 10s. Very happy

90k km. Lol. I bought my 4WD at 86k km and it now has 170k km.
I own an '09 Triton, mileage approximately 400k kms and doesn't miss a beat.
Definitely reliable and excellent value for money
2021 GLS Triton - absolutely love it! Its also done very well off road, I've gone to some crazy mud spots on highway terrain tires and got out alive :D 10/10 will buy another Triton.

3 Tritons and 700k Km and one failure where the intercooler pipe came loose and popped off 10min diy back on the road. Value for money yes dated yes but still the best value ute in my opinion. first was the 2.5l and I think the 2.4 is a better unit in many ways. I will say this the last and current one I could not get the GLS with super select and settled on the GLXr bad move the GLS is the way to go. missed you using the Superselect off road in no locked 4x4 I rarely find the need to lock it up it does such a good job in the unlocked version detecting slip and sending power where it needs. never use the diff lock. I find it comfy as a driver its my work bucket so little care given to the tool it just does what it needs to and does it with ease. Tows fairly well even though I have it loaded to the brim with tools day in and out. That's all the good of this ute and ego bypass sees a huge boost in usable power, less delay to get power and driven like its stolen fully loaded (700 odd kg) returns 11.5km/l the ear kills this motor as with it on the same driving sees you at 8.2km/l how can burning more fuel result in less emissions??? it has pdf so its not like its blowing out black clouds like yesterday years diesel motors.
The bad: OMG the worst infotainment system on the market it all works most of the time but bluetooth is shocking so must use car play wired. Sound is mediocre at best and every bit of door trim vibrates if you get to your theme song at anything louder then 25 (goes to like 40) on the volume. it is rather jarring through post holes iv had plenty other work vehicles and only Toyota and Isuzu jars your back bones more through a pothole you cannot avoid.
Im due to replace mine soon its reaching the 250k mark and its getting a bit lazy but im hanging in there hoping a new one is on the market soon with a bit more refinement in cab don't care for the other poo poo safety features I tend to switch them off as lane correction is down right dangerous. I had a ranger and raptor in between the last two and thanks Ill do the cornering don't need a car to try and straighten the wheel mid corner. Both the ranger and raptor were a touch comfier (ok the raptor was a dream comfort) but I don't think its $15+ comfier raptor was so full of issues Id be struggling to buy another and that awful 10 speed auto tats as temperamental as a donkey never again. higher buy price more expensive services as in 50% more and small issues I just did not have with the triton. its not the most powerful and at 250K its getting tired but so did the fords the raptor I cannot claim this I got rid of it after 50k km just too many days in the repair bay with failed thermostats piratic gear changes failed shocks....... stupid things for such an expensive car that cannot carry load Wich I think was the biggest problem it sat at 100% load capacity and could not handle it. 3.2 6 at was just thirsty but never failed me and it was superior at towing if you did not mind the fuel bill that went with it.
Ill stick to the triton till it fails me. its not impressive by any standard but it is still a darn good ute for the money.

Was surprised Paul that you did another Triton review. I commented on the last Triton review about my 2007 Triton 4d56. She now has 160k kms on the odo and still no issues. Still running original shocks and a Mitsubishi mechanic after driving it told me the shocks are still good and don't need changing. Triton suspensions are very durable and can take an absolute beating. The amount of bad roads and potholes my Triton has slammed through and not broken is incredible. The engine is still rock solid, always starts first time and never left me stranded. She came with 136 hp and 314nm from the factory and was a real powerhouse at the time. She's slower now obviously but still never fails to amaze me with its power that it just seems to find out of nowhere. She thrives in the cold but doesn't really like extremely hot temperatures and crappy fuel. She's had to deal with bad fuel all her life so we've used diesel treatment to help but the fact that in spite of all this she's held up so well is incredible. I've seen and heard people with rangers, hilux, navara struggle to keep there vehicle running properly. Majority of tritons sold in my country today are still on the road which is not something that can be said about hilux, ranger in particular and navara. I always tell people that my Triton can do nothing wrong, it just keeps going and going without any complaints.
I also had the opportunity to see the new Triton in person and sit behind the wheel. It's a handsome vehicle and is very well equipped. The interior is very plastic but it's by no means ugly and is very practical as you mentioned. The drivers seat has so much more adjustment than mine has which will be beneficial for drivers over 6 foot in height. Maybe one day I'll give it a test drive but I do like it a lot and if I had the money would definitely buy one. Super select 2 is amazing system and I've seen many videos of the current Triton off road and it's an absolute beast. It's just so damn good off road.
Cheers Paul and crew.

Hey mage, I have a 2015 MN triton with the 4D56U and it's done 258,000km hasn't missed a beat and still on stock shocks. You've got nothing to worry about she's a weapon
I have had a 2013 a 2015 and a 2018 Triton. I have used them as my daily driver and for off roading around Australia and in the Victorian high country. The 2018 (my current Triton) Has done the Canning stock route ,Tanami and long haul return along the south coast. It has completed a Birdsville trip towing a 2Tonnne Caravan including Camerons Corner The dig tree and Walkers Track. Towing my now preferred Pod Camper we completed A trip last year to Darwin through Kakadu, Arnham Land across the Savannah Highway to Lawn Hill, Normanton, Isa and then the Sandover highway back to Alice. I regularly do short trips to the high country, Last one Licola, Zika Spur, Wonangatta, Billy Goats Track to name a few. If that isn't testimony to the absolute prowess of this much underrated vehicle then I'll go he. All the Tritons have performed from an operational point of view faultlessly and the dealer support for the few cosmetic issues I have had has been superb. I have considered the rest and what I'm hearing (pretty worrying issues with various problems combined with a lack of dealer support) doesn't inspire me with confidence to seriously consider any of rest and I really don't want to be stuck in the bush thanks if I can help it. (An Interesting aside on the Canning we only saw Toyotas (mostly 70 Series), NissanPatrols, and Mitsubishis .
If you are after a practical pretty comfortable I have to say, and undeniably dependable and versatile truck I for one couldn't recommend it highly enough.
Great review, loving the new test tracks you have found.
Glad to see you now know why the Triton is so highly regarded amounst the 4x4 community. They might not have all the bells and whistles other utes have but they are deadly when it comes to off road.

Yes been waiting for this!
2019 GLS Premium for us. Had her since new and have modified her for 4 wheeling. We've done some pretty good tracks with our club and she has eaten up everything we've thrown at her. Very capable off road. She makes a fine daily work drive as well. Would happily buy another.

Bought my MR GLS Triton in June 2021 and Absolutely love it. Worth every cent and hasn't missed a beat. Sure it has a few little issues but they are nothing that make me regret the buy.
The most reliable ute on the market - hands down. Its not fancy, but it gets it done.
👆👆🅷🅸🆃 🅼🅴 🆄🅿💯
😂😂😂
@@JF-di1nr what's funny? Triton is proven to be more reliable.
I have the MN GLX-R manual. My only issue unfortunately was dealer induced and resulted in an expensive repair. The 10 year warranty is a joke. The dealer's will cheap out on the oil and try to rip you off with unnecessary stuff. That is their standard practice.
This is my second Triton. I am now thinking about an auto transmission but looking around I just can't do without my super select 4wd system. The only gripe about the newer Triton is that the rear window in the duel cab no longer comes down. This is the best idea ever. I have carried a 4 metre length on conduit in the car without a problem.
My mate had the same car and has just upgraded to the Isuzu Mazda BT50. He told me to keep my car.
I was anti Mitsubishi for years but it's the only brand we have bought 3 in a row. My wife's Colt is magnificent. 240K on the clock with no squeaks or rattles and we only just replaced the brake rotors and that it! It has outlast her friends BMW Mini, VW and other Euros.

I got a triton GLS 2019, the lag is there on initial throttle but easily solved by a throttle controller. Never found it lacking power, but i'll consider putting in a new full exhaust and a custom tune if ever i do feel its underpowered .. this is a good ute and absolutely reliable ..

Another wicked review thank you!!
I love my Triton GLS Premium for only $46k! Plenty of cash left for accessories. A small lift & good AT tyres and it will out drive most utes. Recently took it to the Watagans where it significantly outdrove a 200 series which came along with us!
when I go from WA to VIC for snow skiing in witer, I hire a Triton everytime because of its Superselect 4H allow me to confidently drive on wet and snowy road at 100km/h

I went from a 2020 hilux to a 2022 triton and its remarkably better.
I've got MQ for last almost 6 years, Absolutely love it
Hey Paul, you can adjust hill decent control with accelerator, the crawl speed will hold where u let go of the accelerator. If u go too fast, u can press the brake till you find your desired speed and it'll hold that speed :)
But a better HDC system is what I have where the cruise control buttons can be used to set the speed before you even start moving up to a max of 30km/h. And you can just change on the fly with the cruise buttons rather than accelerating or braking - using those just overrides or and it reverts to it’s setting again after you release the pedals.
On a serious slippery downhill I use to put my Nissan bakkie in reverse gear and control the speed with the clutch,that was my hill descent control 😊
My 2016 GLS hasn't missed a beat. Always serviced by Mitsubushi. Tows a 2.5 tonne off road Sunland Van, with no problems on hills and maintains speed limits. I would definitely get another. Cheers
I bought a 2019 Triton single cab for work. It is used to remove demolished elevators from site and frequently tows a dual axle 10 ft trailer with full load. It is abused in every sense of the word except for maintenance. It also tows long distance on regular occasions. It has never let me down or had a problem. The only criticism would be that it does struggle on hills when towing, but I can live with that.
Bought one recently.
Couldnt go past the price bu tt have been pleasantly surprised by the Triton.
Definitely better than I was expecting.
I find it quiet and greay offroad.
Love the ability to drive in 4wd on the bitumen, a real bonus in the snow country.
I own a 2010 MN Triton GLXR… honestly, it has never missed a beat. I admit that I have done the mods, diff lock front and back including the 2” lift kit and the vehicle has been great for remote camping
The Triton is according to the mechanics is the most reliable of the utes when it comes to engine and transmission, suspension so i bought one
I got a 22 GLS earlier in the year. During winter I had it up in the Alpine region NE of Licola, Victoria on a hunting trip. I drove it through snow and mud holes with nothing other than AT tyres.
It ate it all up.
Which ATs did you go for, and in which size, if you don't mind me asking?
We bought a 22 GLS earlier this year. Very happy how it has performed so far. We need to tow an offroad trailer at just over 2t + a full load in cabin and tub, so total at about 4.7t. Yes we are joining the big lap trend. Didn't want to spend more than 60k or 65k at a stretch. Looked at all the big players in this segment. Triton is pretty much only rationale choice new or used. For our needs, the triton does everything just right. Yes it would not win any drag races, a bit heavy and slow to turn in suburbs, rides a little rough, but it gets everything done in the end with no issues, kids even enjoy the school runs in it. The driving techs and cabin design are a bit old school, but it has most of the latest techs that matters the most on road, only missing adaptive cruise and autonomous driving on highway (both are useless for heavy towing anyway). And fewer electronics means fewer things to go wrong down the road. The ability to drive in 4H on tarmac is the stand out feature of all, it helps in wet, when pulling a heavy trailer and through twisties. In the end, that's 90% of our driving and probably the same for everyone else. For just over 50k, it is the best value ute out there considering performance, reliability, dependability, safety tech, driving experience and running cost. Plus there are loads of aftermarket mods and accessories. This current gen Triton is probably going to be the best ute Mitzi ever build, since next gen is likely to be a rebadged Navara.
How is the towing ability going uphill? I need to tow a horse float with a GVM of 3t. I found my 2012 Triton struggled from a stationery and on a slight incline. Once it's going, she was fine.
@@juanitaburt5281 3t is a big ask for every Ute except something like a F150 or RAM. Our triton is ok so far pulling about 2.2t, we had weighted our trailer a few times to get the load right, on a slight incline it doesn't need to drop a gear unless in 6th, then it may need drop to 5th and able to maintain speed easily. Pulling off from standstill may require a bit hard throttle, it's the engine tune I guess, it always needs a second or two for the turbo to kick in then it starts to pull hard even without a trailer. Going up steep hills it will drop some speed and gears to keep the engine in power band, but not too bad, doing better than most trucks.
@@cookaride2307 thank you
it's still very great in our market two weeks ago on august 4th they recently launch limited variant called the phantom plus this variant sits above the premium and athlete which is top-of-the-line triton sold in malaysia (fun fact in our market malaysia they offer several limited editions of triton in this current generation)

I've got a 21 gsr triton done 40,000km in the year I've had it and hasn't skipped a beat. Also got a few tritons on the farm with upwards of 250,000km and still going strong
Ive owned 2 tritons. A old 91 petrol 4x4 and it was ute that kept on kicking never failed. I currently own a 2004 2.8ltd gls triton and its never missed a beat. Starts every time handles anything i throw at.

I like these facelifted Tritons they look really good and seem perfectly up to the task.
I'm just starting to look around for a suitable replacement for my Pajero, and the Triton is definitely a contender. As someone who lives in the bush with a whole range of roads, tracks and creek crossings to get home, the super select is a huge plus for the Triton.
I’ve owned 3 tritons and currently have a 22 GSR in black.
They are fantastic value based Utes and with a 10 year warranty!
Only warning they Utes are a 2.4L engine, they do not respond too well with big tyres & lots of weight.
Your fuel economy will suffer!

i got my 22 GSR triton put tailgate assist and locking tailgate with my central locking ,dust seals for the back and manual roller shutter . I love this thing always want to drive it .
35000kms on a tarted up 2020 GSR in orange. No issues. Been in all forms of 4wd with it, also 4wd with trailer and firewood - no problems. Paint is thin. It might only tow 3100 ( who would? ) I tow 2t all the time. Transmission cooler standard and I believe slightly larger payload so all good there.
Great review!!
Dont know why triton or mitsubishi seems underrated when people think offroad. Just look at the dakar rally mitsubishi absolutely dominated it, and thats part to do with the super select system..

Don''t get me wrong, I have always appreciated the Triton. For your reference, the only thing a Dakar Mitsubishi shares with its factory built counterpart, are some body panels and the badge. Not a good comparison. cheers
Have a four year old poverty pack Gls manual. Just back from a trip to Townsville. Averaged 8l/100, plenty of overtaking power and not a problem in comfort. Luckily didn't have to do a high speed retreat at any time. Hard dash is easy to clean.

I have a 2018 Triton. Interior is almost identical but looks a little better. There’s nothing wrong with it being a little more basic than other utes… it’s a work car and a 4x4 that takes you where you want to go. The android auto it awesome and people that complain about the sound quality clearly don’t know how to adjust sound settings in their head unit. HDMI is awesome for when you’re parked up for long times for whatever reason, can chuck the chrome cast on it and keep the kids entertained. They are bloody good utes, mine is sitting at 120,000km and never missed a beat. The one disappointment I had was that the manual version didn’t come with a factory diff lock for the GLS model.
I got a new VRX (top model here in NZ) at the beginning of the year. So far I'm very happy with it. It feels plenty peppy on the road, but then I'm generally not heavily loaded. I'm not impressed with the speakers - they reverb quite a lot. I was also frustrated with the display that was very unresponsive along the bottom, and was going to raise it at the 15K service, but it has miraculously fixed itself.
👆👆🅷🅸🆃 🅼🅴 🆄🅿💯
They really need upgraded springs in the back for work use . They don’t carry a load real well
Using our Triton/Strada here in the PH. 2019 model with 210k under the hood. Works like horse never been disappointed.
With my GXL club cab I have experienced some issues. Being over 6ft I still find you need abit of a technique getting in and out. Even then, the seat can be lowered to the ground, seat reclined back and my head almost in the roof, it is still pretty comfortable. Throttle response Is a issue, the old pull out and delay for your Tbone Express is horrendous. It doesn't do to well having 2.8t all day everyday as she turns into abit a pig dinghy. It is for work, have done 6000km in a month, so by the first service at 15,000km and the end of the year or 60,000km I would like to see how she has held up. I have owned a hilux to 300,000km, ranger 120,00km, dmax 60,000km and Nissan 50,000km , and to be honest the Triton isnt really all that bad. All these vehicles were left stock beside a set of all terrain tyres and they did work hard back to back, on and off road, loaded to max GVM with 100kgs or so for a passenger deepening on the weight of driver. I am interested to see what is first to fail, in comparison to the other utes. From what I have and do us it for, it really does hold it's own. Time in these vehicles shows the practicality, usability and reliability
I love it & would take a Triton over other ute any day..it's an all weather reliable vehicle...👍🏾

For the money , you can't beat the triton. Every day driving is way better than my Amerok and I test drove the Toyota H which honestly felt like a donkey compared to the triton.
I use my L200 for overlanding with a roof tent and towing car trailers up to 3 tons. The loading area for the transport of firewood and other heavy things.
On average, it needs 8 liters per 100 km. If I pull heavy trailers 10-13 liters. Off-road 9-10 liters. And heavily loaded about 9-10 liters of diesel.
I couldn't be happier for the value for money.
Love my Triton, it's an absolute mountain goat off road. Not great towing performance but I don't own a caravan so not worried

I’ve had my 2016 GLS since new at the start of 2017. In comparison to what was out there at the time it was plenty nice enough inside. I have done approx 180,000km with not a single problem other than a warranty issue surrounding the 6 speed manual gear box. Lacks on power and tech but again, was on par with all competitors at the time of release. One issue I have is the build quality but as is expected when you’re paying around $20-30k less for a vehicle of this kind. It is very capable off road with it’s super select 4x4 system, not bad on fuel but again just lacks the power and torque. If you’re after a really reliable and no bullshit ute that will do what 99% of punters need it to do, look no further. Did I mention it was $34,000 drive away (brand new)? Always keep in mind, the only people who bag on Tritons are those who don’t have one. General consensus is, very few owners would have major issues with them.
Have a 2014 mn triton GLX+ never let me down towed a 19ft caravan twice to flinders ranges once to Broome and around WA from Perth i like the simplicity no ding ding your door is open bong bong keys in the ignition K.I.S.S theory i hope they keep that up
You forgot he automatic high beams as well. This thing for the bush is a must. Awesome feature. I feel it has everything the other Utes have, just a simpler control system which I prefer. The manual version which I have packs a mean punch :)
Had one since 2013 and never a problem and not even interested in another car yet.
Hey Paul, it’d be great to get more details on the suspension setups of the dual-cab utes.
I have the same but 2020 model and I love it… what you get for the price is fantastic.. it’s a shame the super select won’t be available in the next gen model?
I’ve got a 2016 Triton 4x2 Dual Cab. It’s been awesome and tows my mowing trailer better than my XR6 and is cheaper to run. It works hard for me and hasn’t missed a beat. Nothin frightens my Triton😊. Cheers 🍻
Good offorading section 👍

Have a 2015 MN triton with 258,000km on it. Hasnt missed a beat and the only thing i changed was a buggered idler pulley and the basic maintenance. Amazing vehicle and very comfortable
Huge fan of my triton 2023. She gets everything done. If you set the music levels the sound is great. The only complaint I have is not able to turn up the volume more on bluetooth phone calls.
Sometimes if you are at max volume on the car you need to turn volume up on the phone itself. I find that helps.
Loving my triton so far. I have the manual variant and the only complaint I have is the knocking sound when the fan kicks in and the super high gear ratio between first end second.

I've had 2x Rangers and a Colorado, had nothing but issues with them. Cost me tens of thousands over the years. Bought a 2021 Triton and it hasn't skipped a beat. Its a bit rougher and rattlier than the rangers etc but its still smooth and comfortable enough and for the price ($50k drive away) with 10yr warranty i was sold! Only thing that could get me out of it is one of the new V6 Rangers but i'd have to have a reason to give up a bloody good for money car :)

great vehicle, great review
2.5 2012 triton going strong. Lowest weekly average has been 8.2l/100km, normally about 8.8-9.
2021 model completed the Auzi lap and a half without fault and towing 2t caravan. Great piece of kit for the price. Only criticism would be rolling turbo lag at junctions.
Saw one of these the other day, cannot unsee the chrome Triton badge and then the piano black GSR badge, OCD triggered!
The diff lock works is 4Hlc too, you don’t have to be in low range for it to work.
It's an excellent machine always lives up to standards..
When I bought my Triton in 2017, it was way ahead of every Ute out on the market for gear as it had apple carplay/Android Auto while none others had it. Plus it had the super select 2 system. Only New Ranger finally has that (only for V6). Was way ahead of its time, but other utes have caught up now in tech and have surpassed it. Been a great Ute, keen for the next gen to come out! Mitsi need to pull out the big tech guns.

If I'm not mistaken in my manuals book says that triton had 700mm wading depth. Do the Australia get the the Phantom edition that has integrated spotlight on the roof like Thailand and Malaysia? Btw I'm using the manual transmission one without difflock because there is no difflock variant in my country.
I own a GSR - this has added nothing new. My regret is on my model I chose the standard nudge bar which is shockingly plastic and sides can't be replaced. Someone cracked the left side when I was parked at my work and done a runner so I am driving with a cracked plastic nudge bar - won't bother replacing with the same with probably same result. Other gripe is the camera- horrible. Small and I can barely make out. Then I am blinded at the front because of the nudge bar. Then the power- really needed a bit more grunt as it does struggle on hills. I also chose the roll up tonneau which was a real job opening and closing. However the biggest gripe is the dealership- they don't care. One of the button screws off the tonneau got lost so when I asked it to be replaced I now notice they have taken all the screws off the right hand side and didn't bother to replace again at the current service! Aside all these - the performance of the car is superb especially for the price.
2015 last of the mn tritons since new , Mitsubishi cars have been the most reliable cars ever owned.
Any chance of a review for the Mahindra ute?
Bought a 22 GLS mid last year after spending the first half deciding on what ute to buy. The interior is obviously quite dated, but I think for the money you spend on a hilux sr5 or a higher spec ranger, its seriously not worth it for a slightly newer style interior. I paid 49k for mine and at the time an sr5 and ranger equivalent was 65k, both lacking a constant 4H compared to the triton. Currently cant see myself buying any other ute until value is increased in the other options. It seems most utes now are trying to pull buyers from the suv market. Will we see a return of the mighty wagon??!!
U get what u pay for , mahrinda is better value
Good points. Were the other brands really worth 16k more at the time? Not to people with more sense than money.
but if you buy a hilux or ranger you get to drive and behave like an absolute fkwit!
How about including braking distances, most probably right at the top of things in any vehicle. Surely if you can find time to see how fast it can go in reverse or how soft trim is which everyone realises is right up there ownership wise the ability to stop when required seems like it could come in handy, l know on the odd occasion I've actually used my brakes in an emergency it's far more often than going flat out in reverse.

What is a reverse test for?
For hill descent, I would say you're better off with 1st gear low range where the engine is doing the braking for you (more beneficial as brakes will not over heat). Hill descent on most cars is 50:50 where at times the car can run away from you.

have the last challenger and I'm looking at upgrading but does it have radar cruise control
Thank you Mitsubishi for keeping it simple and allowing me to perchance a brand new ute
Would be great to see the full review of the Pajero Sport as well, the previous one is not the "full" one as this.
Will try and track one down!
Bought a 2014 glx+ black triton $29990 only thing to the day i changed the wiper blades not bad for 8 years of use.
My mq Triton was far more competent off road than my current px3 ranger. Also never went wrong once in four years. Unlike the ranger. . .
Ranger will annihilate triton on every aspect
@@Kyxmyx fancy stuff yes, goodluck trying to dethrone the Super Select 4WD tho
Especially in being reliable.
@@Kyxmyx hahaha my ranger is the biggest pos can't wait to trade it on something else.
Gidday Guys great review, tell me there are rumours of a new 2023 Triton, would this also include the Pajero Sport also as part of this 2023 model rollout. Certainly watching the MM Indonesia market there appears to be a lot of speculation on this topic, though MMA will not let much out of the basket 😁
In my country they introduce new limited number edition called phantom...it comea stock with twin top spotlight...looks awesome
Which country would that be?
Does look good 👍 we get the "athlete" edition in Vietnam
you talk about these tritons like you expect them to be as pretty on the inside like all these 70k plus cars. It won the best 4wd in 2020 award and is the best value for money 4wd you can get on the market. It's so underrated and i get mine in december

I've had my GSR for 8 months and 18,000KM and love it. On road I find it much more comfortable than a Hilux and the light off road trips I have done delivered no complaints. Fuel consumption has ranged from 8.2 to 13.8 over various trips. The only issue I had with it was with the god awful complete shite entertainment system. That was changed for something better within 2 months. The sound from the standard speakers also improved to the point where I am not bothering replacing them. A huge plus the air conditioning is the COLDEST I have ever had in a car and in high summer it has to be set to 23.5 or I freeze!
10.9 sec for a 100 isn't bad by any means
Gearing seems pretty tall, meaning great highway economy
Also it's a large engine, so a small ECU tune can pull lot more out of this beast
