The roof mounted air vents are excellent as in the previous one. It gets rid of the hot air in the cabin on a hot summers day faster than a air vent below your knees.
The best in the world cross country off-road rally racing champions, perfect driving performance on highway terrain, cornering manuvering off-road, gravel sand, but Toyota driving performance at highway is not very good cornering manuvering not very good only slowly drive at off-road mud climbing, Mitsubishi Triton gives warranty use for 10 years others brand only give 5/7 years of warranty,Fiat fullback and Fiat Titano is also the Mitsubishi Triton strada car
if only Mitsy keeps on looking after their customers as in the past. the manual trans model for me. Good honest review. best so far. keep it up mate. just subscribed.
I got a 2017 mq triton because my boss bought the mq Tritons for work vehicles. I feel in love with the looks and just the feel the super select. I recently looked into the Mr because the run out but I cant stand hiw much tech is in the mr compared to the mq. Id love it if they just went to basics again dont need screens don't need lane assit and the chimes the beeps it does my head in just wish they would do a bare bones but top spec model
What a lackluster pile of shit, rear tailgate doesn’t lock? It’s just a spruced up version of the old one. Legit get a ranger sport v6 for the same money
so more expensive, expensive to service, drum brakes, Ok infotainment - you can get a V6 Amarok Style "Demo" for similar coin. 15-20k more than the identical vehicle costs in Thailand - Aussie consumers mugged again.
So, top-spec Triton Athlete in Thailand costs 1.3 million Baht, which converts into $55k AUD. There will be some differences in spec, but Triton GSR in Australia costs $63,840 plus on-road costs. That's a difference of about $8k. So there is a markup, but not a whole lot when you think about the cost of shipping, homologation, import duties and that fact that Mitsubishi Australia has to make a profit from these things. - Sam
@omau Hi Sam, the top of the range is 1.016m Baht which is well under A$50k and you still pay on roads on top of the 63k in Australia Thai distributor will also have similar expenses - so a moot point. Great review though, always balanced, the go to for off road reviews, thanks.
@@shaun1900Thanks, appreciate it and it's always great to hear from people who enjoy what we do here. I got pricing from here, by the way: www.mitsubishi-motors.co.th/en/cars/all-newtriton
The only thing I really don't like is the seat color is either orange or orange. So we purchased good quality black leather seat covers for it. Problem solved. In Thailand anyway.
@@noelgibson5956 It looks disgusting. It’s already behind on technology and power. They had a chance to make it great, and they made it look like a brick. With an option for a more powerful model and a better looking body they could massively increase their sales, but they continue to be ugly, underpowered basic cars with cheap materials and outdated technology. It has potential, but just like a gifted kid with no desire to be better. It will never be any better than average.
@@Blingbling820 In terms of styling, it's a reflection of the market it will serve. The target market will appreciate the chunky, rugged, no nonsense look. The previous model was a little busy and fussy at the front. This is a welcome change from that. In terms of quality of materials, er, Ute buyers rarely care about that stuff, other than with a preference for long lasting durability. As for features, if it was any more complex, you'd need a pilots license to operate the thing! As a single cab, base grade tabletop, I'd buy one tomorrow if I had the coin. Cheers. 👋🤠
@@kaidenchetty4572They dont participate in Dakar anymore but they did come to rally race in Asia cross country Rally ( basically Asisa version of darkar ) and Win 1st and 3rd place with Trion since 2022. So they do live up to their title even after years of not racing .
You ever seen a Chinese ute go off road? The gwm canon fails traction control test,with rollers It fails hill test climbs, it overheats its awd system on a simple hill climb . Those Chinese utes are cars with a ute body , complete waste of time
You can't beat a Mitsubishi for reliability, yes it may not have all the bells and whistles as some of the others but with all the issues the Ranger has there's no comparison IMO.
Triton owner myself, definitely not upgrading. Paying big money for underpowered engine, drum brakes & a tailgate with no central locking. Mitsubishi doing minimum to stay relevant.....Ranger ahead of the market by far!
Have your drum brakes ever let you down? The new Ford Ranger Raptor, with it's four wheel discs needs 51m to stop from 100km/h (according to wheels mag) and your model triton needs 38m.
Having driven this, can't find anything "underpowered" on it. Performs just as quick as the 200hp Hilux, and I've only driven the single-turbo version yet! Tho it's normal for outgoing owners to be a bit bitter tbh.
Pretty fair review here, Sam. But fyi, this is a new engine. Same sort of specs but different block - 4N16 from the previous 4N15. So far the most straightforward and unbiased review as well, even if Sam would somehow still consider the Ranger. But as he said, this has none of the things you probably won't need that some more expensive rivals have. So yeah, pretty much satisfied with this first impressions review 👌🏼
@Drivecomau because most of the target market these days just want to be passengers behind the steering wheel. Very few seem to be interested in being in control of a vehicle.
@@mark7620 They could trial them for a while, but they probably wouldn't sell. Even in the 60's and 70's, high grade models of any type rarely offered manual.
@noelgibson5956 I agree. As I said, very few people are interested in actually driving their cars these days. Most people just expect to sit there and let the car do everything for them.
Majority of people who will buy these live in cities where manual trans is a PITA in heavy traffic. I can see the appeal. I’d still prefer a manual myself though, living in a regional area
A lot of owners of these utes are young working class people who live in units with small dedicated garages. These Ute's are getting so long, they no longer fit inside them without having the nose sticking out. The Ute's of the 90's were big enough. They didn't need to increase in size and length.
Good effort, Mitsubishi. If I need a Ute a would take a serious look. And to those who go on about the Amarok, have you been in one, I think not. Interior is shocking in every aspect. Nothing compared to the Ranger.
I can’t see Mitsubishi making great sales in this segment as they are priced way too high. You can get into some proven reliable, well-made vehicles for the prices Mitsubishi want to start charging.
