There’s a lot of hype about the new Ford Ranger which on the whole will appeal to Ford brand loyalists and those that conveniently ignore the reliability issues - I wouldn’t touch a Ranger with a barge pole and Ford’s woeful attitude to customer service - the newer Triton has come along way and you can’t beat better value for money especially that Super Select - I was lucky to get a 2010 Hilux auto in excellent condition just before Covid Jan 2020 for $18k - there’s no way I’m paying over 70k for a new one - Triton/Navara DNA pairing should be interesting.

Thanks for the great review. Had my new GLS for a few weeks now. Keeping the tub and putting on a canopy. It's 4WD capability and renowned Mitsubishi reliability are what got me. Happy travels.
Good honest review 👏 I don't own a Triton but a Pajero Sport so it has same running gear except for 8 speed auto and it has done 61400 km in 2 and a half years and it hasn't missed a beat. Only thing I found if mitsubishi would of put a 3 core radiator and a larger air inter cooler it would be a awesome tow vehicle in the high country o those hot days. Great seeing you and your family exploring Australia and sharing it with us veiwers👍
We witnessed the Paj Sport getting a hot transmission after a sand dune play on Stockton Beach this last summer with our 4wd club. Our MR Triton didn't have the issue due to the added transmission cooling the ute comes with. Otherwise, the Paj Sport goes very well off road and I'd gladly have one if we didn't want the convenience of the ute tub.
@@BrettWilliamson Paj Sport also has the rear diff which Triton doesn't have. The Paj Sport transmission is also exact same as on the Landcruiser (big one, not Prado) so should be ultra reliable.
Mate, that helps heaps and also picking up my new GLS next week! Wife n kids super excited to get this new rig and keen as anything to go off the beaten track and start enjoying the outdoors again! Thanks a lot for your video, sure gives me a nice confidence boost for our new wheels! Cheers mate!
Ive got a GLS Premium, 80xxxkm now and not a single issue... ive taken it all over australia and its been awesome. Am seriously looking at getting the new 2024 new gen triton.
Good to hear mate. I’m still waiting to see what the weight specs are on the new Triton. They would have to increase the rear axel limit as well as the gvm for me to get another. I love the Triton but nowadays I’m always too close to the rear axel limit. But it still performs well in every other way.
Thanks for this mate. I'm upgrading from an ML to an MR GLS now and I'll be towing a dual axle Expanda from Melbourne to Darwin at the end of the year. Great tips and advice. I'll be keeping an eye out for more. 👍
Excellent mate, well done and informative 👌 We’re heading off with GSR with Rhinomax Renegade in tow, The Cape this year then doing The Lap again . Last time in a Hilux with a slide-on. Happy travels mate
Thanks mate. Those Rhinomax looks like a tough bit of gear. How do you like it? We’ve also just hit the road again after a bit of a break. I actually traded the triton in for a ranger only to get more rear axle capacity but otherwise I would have loved to keep the triton. It was a great ute.
It tows like a dream, and has handled everything we’ve thrown at it so far but haven’t really been into really rough stuff. Super airtight. Prefect size for 2 old folks to get around in comfort. Keep rocking mate🕺
@@onlyleavingfootprints I would have gone the brand new too. It’s nice knowing you have the ACCC rights behind you when you get brand new compared to not having it when buying second hand.
Great real-world review, there arent many genuine independent reviews out there any more. I've got an MR as well, not long after buying it I got a job that comes with an SR5 Hilux, have to say I prefer the Triton hands down, despite its popularity the Hilux lacks all the features that the Triton has as standard.

Intercooler pipe split is common when high boost pressure is experienced. I fitted a CVS throttle controller to my MQ to tow my 2.7T caravan and after about 6 months developed the split intercooler hose issue. Stay away from those throttle controllers or get a SS intercooler hose instead if you must use them
I’ve been lucky so far and not had a split hose. But I don’t have a throttle controller either. I did in my MN and split a hose on that. Coming from a MN to the MR I didn’t feel the need for a throttle controller. It was a lot more responsive out of the box. Thanks for the input mate.
Hey mate, love the channel, it's good to get some perspective from a family doing things on a budget. Just wondering if you ever got around to doing that video on the suspension upgrade?
Hi mate. Sorry but I still haven’t done it yet. Just getting too busy at the moment. Any particular things you want to know? I can include them in the video.
@@AdventuringPals Hi Elvin, Just after your opinion and experience on what you found was a worthwhile improvement. Seems like sometimes people get a bit carried away with suspension and it gets confusing.
One thing about that factory bullbar is the massive airflow it allows. Most of the aftermarket offerings seem to not have much of an allowance for that. Anyone got any experience with these and how much it impacts your temps in the real world??
Yea mate the factory bar definitely does have the best airflow. It’s another reason why I didn’t go aftermarket with winch as I didn’t want to compromise on air flow and over heat while towing.
What I would suggest to you is put a larger oil cooler on it especially if you tow slot you must keep that oil temp down in the gearbox and put the biggest one on you can get
Thanks for the suggestions mate. Much appreciated. I have considered a larger cooler but haven’t committed yet as we have not had any issues. I’m keen to get a scangauge and see what temps the transmission gets up too first.
Unfortunately the next Triton looks like it will be just a dressed up Navara. Renault engine, coil rear suspension, no super select.... I think you got the last decent Triton mate. PS: I've just ordered an MR and am now playing the waiting game. Glad your feedback is all pretty positive!
I heard on the rumor mill that Mitsubishi are designing the next gen utes and rebadging them for Nissan ……as Mitsubishi have been more successful with their utes than Nissan in the past
@@FreestyleCab I really hope this is true... however all the press releases refer to Mitsubishi taking the same platform as Navara which kind of insinuates its lower in the pecking order.
@@berko79 hi mate. I read about the re badged Nissan rumours too but I’ve just recently seen pictures of the current MR Triton body butchered to fit on top of the supposed next gen chassis and it does seem to be a longer wheel base. In this article it suggested that it’s Mitshubishi working on the development for the group. I hope that this is the case as the Triton is already a better car the the Nissan me the sales reflect this. Best of luck with the new ute. My mate has just got his and he loves it too.
No Super Select is a big turn off. I like the Nav and would probably buy it second behind the Triton, but Super Select separates it from the rest. All utes should have such a system.
Excellent review, well done ✅ Apparently the next gen Triton will be wider and the rear axle will sit further back. Hope it's true that's probably the main thing I don't like about it as the car is way to narrow. That middle seat is almost useless.
Yes I’ve read this before too. I hope it’s true too as I have a unjustified fear of bending the chassis when loaded up and off roading. Mind you I’ve towed our caravan over some rough terrain and not had a issue. Can’t recall seeing any bent MR tritons yet. Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment
@@vaskodimoski5690 Mitsubishi will have majority input in the new build... Mitsubishi have already publicly stated this. They have also stated the same 2.4L engine will remain but with more power.
Thanks for the content. Have always thought the Triton was great value for money and very capable considering the value but the rear overhang keeps putting me off. Cheers
We are looking at the new GLS, comes with permit 4x4 and diff lockers. Wasn't planning to go with the high spec levels but the dealer has one in manual close to $4,000 off the recommended retail price because of financial reasons for the buyer who they ordered it in for. Or so he said. Have you ever driven one in manual? Cheers
That’s a good opportunity. I haven’t driven a manual MR Triton so can’t help you there but I do love the GLS option and I love the full time 4wd option. It’s great for dirt roads, icey and wet roads and good for towing.
Hi!, Im looking at getting one of these, (cant really afford the 2024 one), a year later after this video, hows it been going? Mine would be used for just day to day driving (work, shops etc, i dont go off-road nor ever will) do you still recommend them?
Hi mate. Yes I still love mine. Been working really well. I will be changing it up soon with another ute. Mostly because I’m too close to my legal weight limits even with the gvm upgraded. But I wish I could keep it and be legal. My biggest annoyance is the Apple car play isn’t very reliable but it’s probably an Apple problem rather than the car because it charges the phone, just doesn’t link up fully.
Hi guys, I have a 2021 MR GLS, how do I access the DAB radio, I have no option on the main menu and the FM radio goes up to about 95mhz and that's all like it's a JDM radio, even though it's Aussie spec? Thanks.
Hi mate. I’m sorry, but I have no idea. I hardly used to radio. Mostly played songs through the phone. Maybe ask the dealership when it’s in for the next service if it’s still under warranty.
Thanks mate. Yeah I generally use the Android Auto but would be nice to be able to use the DAB radio that doesn't use the phone internet data up. Cheers 👍
I’m curious, I sold mine because mine had the “known” issue of an overheating transmission when towing WELL below the rated maximum. Anyone else had that experience?
I have not had this happen when towing our 2.2t atm caravan and also been loaded up on the ute. It’s got a factory transmission cooler at least. A didn’t know there is a “known” issue. I’ll have to do a bit of research on this. Thanks.
@Neil Frost I tow a Jayco Eagle Outback in 4H with not a problem in my MR Triton, except up steep hills in low speeds. I have a mate with a Pajero Sport who solved this issue with an iDrive and he's said its a game changer.
@@positivepete4265 hi mate. Total over its life (107000ks) it got around 15l/100k. It was always loaded up to at to between 2.8-3.2 tons and half it’s life towing too. When towing we averaged 15-22 depending on speed and wind. And around town it got 13-16 when loaded. In the. Highway when not towing it got down to even 10s with favourable conditions. Hope this makes sense and that it helps.
Mitsubishi is better because Mitsubishi the oldest japanese making car and heavy machinery ,Mitsubishi also the world champion car in Guinness book records,many fields engineers
Hi mate. I’m not too sure in the exact dollars but I take it back to the dealership for the logbook servicing and because I do so many k’s that ends up being 2-3 times a year. Quite expensive overall.
Haha. Yeah true but I think everyone cops it a bit of no matter what you drive. I’ve had a Jeep a Ford and Holdens and 3 tritons and The Jeep coped the most lol.
Ha, literally in the same boat now. Considering buying a triton and selling my bt50 and everyone is telling me, don't buy a Mitsubishi, they are shit. That's why I watching this video. Get some real world review. 10 year warranty is hard to ignore.

@Neil Frost I tow a Jayco Eagle Outback in 4H with not a problem in my MR Triton, except up steep hills in low speeds. I have a mate with a Pajero Sport who solved this issue with an iDrive and he's said its a game changer.
I'm thinking of towing a bus 30kilometres to my house it's empty inside converting to a house bus can my 2016 mitsubishi Triton handle towing it ?
Would have depend on what it weighs. Sorry can’t be more helpful.
Hey man can I ask what your mileage has been?
@@positivepete4265 hi mate. Total over its life (107000ks) it got around 15l/100k. It was always loaded up to at to between 2.8-3.2 tons and half it’s life towing too.
When towing we averaged 15-22 depending on speed and wind. And around town it got 13-16 when loaded. In the. Highway when not towing it got down to even 10s with favourable conditions.
Hope this makes sense and that it helps.
Thinking of getting a Mitsubishi Triton GSR 2022 what are your thoughts?
I would get one for sure. Love my Triton
@@AdventuringPals Awesome thank you! I have also been looking at the Triton GLX-R they are such a nice Ute!
Mitsubishi is better because Mitsubishi the oldest japanese making car and heavy machinery ,Mitsubishi also the world champion car in Guinness book records,many fields engineers
How much do you spend on servicing ur Ute
Hi mate. I’m not too sure in the exact dollars but I take it back to the dealership for the logbook servicing and because I do so many k’s that ends up being 2-3 times a year. Quite expensive overall.
@@AdventuringPals But as long as it's reliable then what more can u want
@@neomodipa3461 yes exactly.
600,
The worse part about owning a Triton is the shit you coop from other 4wd owners gets annoying after awhile.
Haha. Yeah true but I think everyone cops it a bit of no matter what you drive. I’ve had a Jeep a Ford and Holdens and 3 tritons and The Jeep coped the most lol.
Ha, literally in the same boat now. Considering buying a triton and selling my bt50 and everyone is telling me, don't buy a Mitsubishi, they are shit. That's why I watching this video. Get some real world review. 10 year warranty is hard to ignore.
@@williambuschmann6152 best thing I did was buy a Triton, my brother bought a new hilux and has had nothing but issues with the dpf and is in at toyota again for a rattling timing chain.
@@AdmissionGaming most people who give shit for owning a Triton have zero mechanical knowledge, have never driven one, massively insecure and will fall for marketing every day of the week!
@@johnsambar2658 the only real issue I've come up with mine 4wding is the need for thicker bash plates. Factory ones are weak (same with all makes, my mates amarok even has plastic ones lol)
The front cv joints are weak and prone to failure, I'm running 32s and have broke 2 front cvs.
👏👏👏👍currently at Hobart and life is good,stay strong,all the best 👁👁😊😊🐕🦺🍺🇦🇺
Good to hear mate. We miss living in Hobart. Enjoy your time there.
You need to drive a vehicle with power , that thing does not have power for towing
Our van is only 2200kg ATM. The Triton tows it well. I don’t think I would want to tow 3t with it. Thanks for watching.
Absolute horse shit mate! I towed one of Jayco's biggest vans with mine and did the job perfectly
wow its been a while. Hope you guys are doing GREAT
Yeah mate. Getting busy with life lol. We are all great and hope you are too.
