2024 Mitsubishi Triton GLS: Detailed review - 0-100 & POV test drive 

Thanks a lot.

Legit was one of the reasons I went for it, compared to the Ranger

@@intrusivethought Thanks!

@@richardtimms6645 car sales did the triton justice though , what I liked about car sales is that he reviewed the offroad modes in the new triton thoroughly. He understood how it works and explained it properly unlike car expert. Car expert made the new triton look incompetent , but it was his lack of understanding of the drive modes.

I feel the new design looks good, unlike most.

It's a great looking truck , what I would have done though is have the grill and dynamic shield black on all models. I am not a fan of the body colored grill on the gsr , especially on the orange one. I have seen a gsr with a darker color and it looks much better than the orange one. I have seen someone put some bf Goodrich tires on the new triton and it totally transformed the look of it. Looked amazing

Especially this silver grey version reviewed here

Both of them are 🤮 that motor sounds horrible Embarrassing all round

@@warcrabcyber9908 I agree with the grill. I'm getting a GSR in a couple of days and would've gone with orange but thought it was a bit much in the front so went with graphite grey instead. I still might see if I can swap it out for black down the track but for now I don't mind.

@@mindofown Thanks

Hmm im getting 25L/100km best. 10 in a normal day to day travel with traffic why everyone else seems low?

@@CC-tk9xw Maybe ease up on the accelerator? That sounds very high.

@@CC-tk9xw 25!!!?? Are you flat to floor in the middle of the city lots of stop and starts? That would do it Normal city driving you should expect 10 -12.5L

Jesus mate. I average around 7.7 in mixed highway and suburban daily driving, and by no means do I drive like a nanny, but also not guns blazing.

@@-PORK-CHOP- the issue is the mitsubishi version is intrusive, and unsafe. Subaru nailed their safety systems and the ease of switching OFF. Kia did the same too. Mitsubishi is the first mainstream brand to have this stupid thing on the steering wheel, making noises at you for no reason. This is the primary reason I'm not buying thus triton. Prices be damned, the safety systems ARE the safety risk

@@nathansharma87 Totally agree. They actually reduce safety in my opinion, introducing yet more distraction.

The issue is after long term ownership of the MR, people are saying their economy is now worse which begs to question how this new triton will be after a few years

I know which expert you are talking about , he literally botched his entire review, he didn't understand how the drive modes work and he won't accept responsibility, the drive modes are very important in the new triton depending on the terrain. If you go to car sales . Au and look at his 2024 ute review , he breaks down how the drive modes work on the new Triton in real time. He did what the expert did , then adjusted it on the correct mode to show you how the modes affect the Triton offroad performance in real time. After seeing it I laughed at the expert , because the expert was claiming the old triton is better offroad when in fact the new one is better. Better yet you will see how the new triton fares against the new and improved dmax offroad. You will quicky see why the new triton is superior to the dmax and bt50 offroad

@@positivepete4265 - I don't own one , I am only going off what I saw on the "Fuel usage report" for the 3 Tritons the company now has as part of there fleet (which will soon be 10 as the Colorado's are getting relaced one by one by Triton). Well the "new" engine" has way more get up and go and a lot less lag (a LOT LESS) and as such with more torque and top end power the engine will consume more, owners will have to figure that out for themselves. I can see why Mitshibishi stayed with the 6-speed auto over going for an 8-speed one (as per Pajero Sport), I don't think that is the issue for extra consumption, the new Triton is heavier than the previous gen, that is the main issue. Just on the Colorado, they were pretty durable for the most part, the main reliability issue "electrics", once they got lots of water in the engine bay and did not dry out properly there would be issues with everything from electric power steering to MAF sensors and every year changing 12-volt batteries (which are not cheap), also rear differential leaks and suspension (dampers) blowing out as they can't really carry max cargo weight for long periods as they start to sag and blow out, never had that issue with Ranger or Navara (D40 versions). shame that GMSV are not bring the new updated spec here and getting Walkinshaw to convert them to RHD, then again there is no "turbo diesel" option out of the Mexican production facilities.

@@warcrabcyber9908 - spot on I agree, I guess "Paul" can stick to his Tesla. Bret driving on a muddy / wet grass traps is what most off roading is really like and he did it all in 4H with LC and used RDL to see if it made difference, the "expert" was never good at giving "advice" lol.

why?

Thank God it's not a Ranger. They are shitboxes

Maybe this one has had the engine broken in or something, because it's definitely faster than the gsr he tested before.

Two possible reasons for the different times; 1) The initial test was done on an early press vehicle with very low kms. The engine performance improves as engines fully wear in etc. 2) I only did 2-3 runs with that one as it was during the press launch event, and on a public road - I had limited time to test. With these tests on a private road I have more time to concentrate and make sure I try out all drive modes and so on. And yep, colder temp definitely influences performance as well. Hope that helps. Edit: GSR kerb weight is 2170kg against GLS 2125kg. That might make a difference too.

@@mahcooharper9577 Whoops. Thanks mate 👍

The updated HiLux is available now with 48V mild-hybrid tech (video coming soon). All-new generation isn't expected for another 2 years or so.

The safety systems are annoying, especially the driver monitoring camera. I can't see what benefit it brings (in all cars not just the Triton); I turned it off every time I drove it. The lack of paddle shifters doesn't bother me as I wouldn't typically use them in a vehicle like this. You can always use the gear shifter to knock it down gears down steep hills etc. But yes, I guess it might bother some previous-gen owners.

@@drivingenthusiastaustralia thnx. Yeh the safety systems make no sense. If anything, just make it a profile setting like you said. And all people have to do is press one button and it's off. Fine if it turns on by default. But pressing .multiple settings every single time will be the actual distraction.

@@bernardpeel7133 Review of that coming soon.

Whats your recommendation for someone who wants to become a car reviewer? How do you get the cars to review? ​@@drivingenthusiastaustralia

@@drivingenthusiastaustralia brilliant. That will be a popular one, I reckon.

very reasonable compared to the competition imo.

Same with my Mitsubishi 380, you seldom see them at Bunnings.

@@OZOZOZ968 Yep, they would add to the overall price for sure.

looks are subjective, I've seen them in person and they are good for what they are.

@@351tgvnah bro you blind

​@@tldrinfographics5769 I'm curious, what utes do you think look good

Neither of them are lookers but I reckon this is way better looking than the previous shape.
