New Triton

Have had mine for nearly 5 years and it has been great.... Has travelled most of the outback roads including the canning stock route, GRR, Savannah Way, Tanami Rd, Kidson track, Cape York and many more rough roads and it has held up well....

Cheap to run and maintain, service every 15,000km.....

Has a 300kg ball weight for towing and heaps of extras can be put on.......

I have not Driven the latest model ,but a mate has the previous one and it has been a really good vehicle .
He was after a Hilux ( like most punters ) but couldn't justify the $10,000 difference in price .
The new model Triton seem even better value.

Cheers

hi
The diesel model before the update had inlet manifold sludge issues . There was a manifold upgrade .

Have Mitsubishi redesigned the long rear overhang on the new dual cab Tritons?

It's the only problem my mate has with his when off roading.

Hi, Ive owned a early model triton, and it was a good work horse, As far as the late model stuff I cant say, except it was only last week I was working with a tradie that had a two yr old one that was purchased new and he has had nothing but engine dramas, its been back to Mitsubishi for repair in which they have taken full responsibility , without going into all the drama, the thing that I picked up on was the lack of engine parts in Aust ,causing huge delays when big warranty work is needed,this might be a isolated case , but I know one thing for sure this guy was not a happy triton owner!!


Cheers Axle.

Have a look at the Triton forum.

Personally I feel the Triton is a value for money proposition, it's smaller than the dearer 4WD utes and built to a price. I think fine if you are talking moderate towing, moderate loads etc etc. The new model hasn't set the world on fire in terms of sales figures. Often price and the long warranty period lure buyers. So depends on what you wan't. Personally if I had a budget and couldn't afford a new Hilux I'd buy a nice second hand one in lieu of a Triton. If you want to keep the vehicle long term Hilux offers the most durable and reliable 4WD ute. If you are going to buy new and turn the car over in 3-4 years it doesn't matter so much. IMO

Drove a new Hilux for 2weeks could not wait to get back into 2 year old Pajero cannot see what people see in them,
