- Is this new Triton pick-up truck a breakthrough moment for Mitsubishi?
The brand has put years of blood, sweat and tears into the development of this new-generation 2024 Mitsubishi Triton, which -- unlike the last model -- has been rethought from the ground up.
That means a new chassis, new wheelbase length, a bigger body, stronger towing capacity, better on-road dynamics (with Australian tuning for the suspension and steering!), more off-road capability, a more powerful twin-turbo engine, and a seriously reworked interior with more space and comfort than ever before.
It is, seriously, a competitor for the Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux, and still maintains a price advantage... but the price is now higher than ever before.
So, is it worth it? And should you buy one? Watch til the end for my verdict!

That dark roof liner is one of the best features imo
Mitsubishi superselect is one of a kind and sent from HEAVEN. BUY!
Well, I guess it is a great option to select before purchase for you to feel super on selected roads. There is nothing more frustrating, than being suck between a rock and a hard place, off road or in life.
@@SamKuul ??? Do you even know what Super Select is?
@@user-uh7bw4jo4cI assume he doesn’t and he is talking out of his ass! Prolly a Hilux fanatic who is a bogan!
Agreed. 👍
@@user-uh7bw4jo4c yes, 4WD system by Mitsubishi also in the Pajero’s
I was trying to do a word play but unfortunately I think did not do a good job of it. If you want I would try to explain it?
Good to watch a reviewer that actually knows about cars. Not all do..
Car "expert"
Credit where it's due, pretty good review. Watched others this morning that said the rear had some jitter on the road over bumps - kind of a given when it's unladed. My drive experience with the GSR was opposite to what others have said, and found it to be compliant enough for me not to notice. Your review has been less nitpicky compared to others, so kudos for that.
You need to take every review with a pinch of salt, too much bias I reckon, especially from the Ford and Toyota reviewers. You buy what you want, go and drive it yourself. I have driven Toyota for many years and will stick with Mitsi for this one, buying the GSR
@@charlesarmstrong8206what color?
@@charlesarmstrong8206 I should hopefully get a call in the next week for my GSR

Mitsubishi rich history in WRC & Dakar Rally made this a really good option for off-road adventures with the Super Select 4WD & S-AWC in other Mitsubishi Models. ❤️
Thanks, mitsubishi salesman!
@@drive-channel1834 I’m not salesman person 😂 just own 6 Mitsubishis and my experience with this cars have been awesome over the years ❤️💪🏻
I love it, think it will be an amazing car... love the look, love the interior and love the Mitsubishi reliability.
You are miss informed. It’s no longer a Mitsubishi.
@@user-ug2ub9wf4q It's a Mitsubishi.
@@user-ug2ub9wf4qMitsubishi/Nissan
Mitsubishi was the head of this new gen truck program within the alliance, and the engine and transmission and 100% Mitsubishi designs, the only thing nissan would be the infotainment and some of the switch gear
@@user-ug2ub9wf4qSoooooooo.....you're saying that the engine is not the 2.4l from the previous model ?
If Mr Nissan is watching please fix the small issues that Matt pointed out. Don't make the Navara ugly, make sure all the safety inclusions aren't annoying, and include rear disc brakes. Mitsubishi have provided an excellent platform for you to build on. Great report Matt.
No one in all the review’s except for this guy spoke about the hill decent features or anything like that , this was a good fair review for once a believable review.
I like it the fact the top spec is cheaper then the other Brands in top spec but still just as capable
Yep! I was very impressed.
You can't say that !! :)
You'll offend the TFBs.....(Toyota Fan Boiz)
I've never understood why AWD isn't an option on all these 4WD utes and wagons
Given that utes need help with traction anyway, it seems like an obvious choice to me
Kudos to Mitsubishi 👏🏻
technically 4H is what would be described as 4x4 On-Demand, yes its confusing as Mitshibishi should just call it 4A as Ford does.
If you have super Select II and want AWD mode then just switch to 4H and you will be in AWD mode but you would have to do it every time you restart.
Whatever you do, don't put it in 4H-LC on non slip roads.
Amarok last gen auto was AWD/4WD drives fantastic on and off road
more complex system that is easy to breakdown is the downside of amarok@@AussySpawn
I have know alot of d max owners and navara owners who have written off and destroyed their trucks on wet slippery roads,
Having an option for full time awd is something I won't compromise on,
if you come from driving a car and is now looking at trucks ,
Chances are you came from a front wheel drive car, it's not the same , trucks are mostly rear wheel drive biased , easy to lose control around corners and on wet roads
since the back is lighter it's easy to spin out on wet roads. With full time awd , you won't have this issue.
Fwd car and rwd ute handles totally different , for a beginner to utes, get a full time awd one like the triton
I think Mitsubishi are very optimistic with their pricing. No question they can make a good car but their edge was the quality and value. Changing the price into ranger hilux and dmax territory will hurt them
I don't agree. I think they're still significantly cheaper, but with significant improvements. Like it or not, those improvements come with a price tag. I'm looking forward to getting mine sometime this year through work- just need to convince them to buy the GLS, not the GLX+!!
You can get a Ford Ranger Raptor with 400 horsepower for the same price.
@masterdingus7074 Bullshit you can. The new Raptor is 90 odd grand and this Triton top spec is 63 grand.
@@sonofamountie the MSRP of the Ford Ranger Raptor is $55,470. Idk where the hell you're getting your number 😂
@@masterdingus7074 Not in Australia it isn't mate. That's where this review is being done. Here in Australia the drive away price for the Raptor is over 90 grand and as stated in this video the top of the line Triton is about 63 grand. Roughly a 30 grand difference. So I'm getting my numbers from the country and market that this review is specifically referring to.
Why complain about a manual tailgate... are we not men?
Yes we are, but would not it be a nice feature to have?
@@user-rw6lp3vj5v it would be nice to embrace the toughness we were given.
@user-rw6lp3vj5v
Unnecessary features drive up the price. As the features fail it makes the car unreliable and age's the car faster
Silly comment about the rear center armrest "just flops down" wow. My 5 and 7 year olds are going to have a break down over that oversight
@@TravelThailand8 my little brother climbs it to get it out🤣
Put to the test in rally racing championship it will defeated Ford raptor, Nissan, Audi, Volkswagen,, Toyota, Mercedes, Land Rover mini and many more brand, AXCR cross country Thailand Laos to Cambodia Mitsubishi Triton is the champion.
Great job detailing the tray size and child seat teather improvements, both things im looking for. Cheers
“Might be a little bit big for your piccolo latte”
Cheeky little dig at Maric there. Good banter.
Matt, firstly great review, I liked the offroad bit to see what this thing can do off the beaten path and how child seats and the rear air con works in this(no one else really talks about that sadly. Secondly you forgot to mention the Cannon in the alternates, its bigger than this and it has a larger and more practical tray(its got a step ladder to get in there plus its dampened ) and the isofix situation in the rear is more usuable(plus it has under seat storage).
The price is astronomical, cant believe it doesnt come standard with a towball😮
Great review, enjoyable and informative.
I think you may have sold me on this new model . I have the current GLS and this is just a brand new overall design that will win over many with its capabilities in a lot of areas. Great review.
Towbar
The top clove box is perfect for my wife's handbag when I get in the car. In every other car we drive she gives me the shots with her handbag
Haha good to know
Great video, thanks for this review, keep up the good work
Thanks!
Update: I bought the Thailand 15:34 Athlete model in black, dark greyish, it's amazing! Hill decent is an amazing feature. Rides almost like a sedan sometimes I forget I'm driving a truck. 360 camera helps alot. Fuel consumption is class leading. In real life it's beautiful and everyone wants to look at it for a long time!
If I have to choose between a triton and hilux grs , which one do you think should I consider buying. Thanks.
Seen these on the back of a truck in Wollongong today
Yes it would be great to see a towing test as that would be the purpose I would be using it for.
I’ll try and tee it up!
Very nice looking car, I just hope unlike the previous models where I had to duck my head to get in the car due to the way the roof design is, that this model don't have to, that was a deal breaker! Can't wait to drive one
Great review! Very in depth 👏
Yeap do a towing test, best way to tell how good the motor really is going to be.
Can you show how to connect apple car play iPhone to the dashboard thanks?
Ok I'm sold, gonna buy this to replace my 2018 Ford Ranger FX4 😊
Not too keen with the added driver monitoring gizmo with big brother watching all the time. Do any of their models come without it?
The time has nearly arrived...did Mitsubishi give any indication of the Club Cab arrival?
Very very keen on watching this one!
Glad to hear it!
What's the brand of the 2 stage turbo?
Dual cab utes are getting too big. For my next ute the width will eliminate most models from consideration as they simply wont fit in my car port.
What’s the wading depth of the triton?
Def do a towing test .love to see it tow a caravan around the 2300 tare
and while you're at it please check ad blue consumption while doing extended highway towing.
Are Ford Rangers 4cyl AWD on the black top like the Triton Canon Amarok and LDV?
Yep they can be. There’s a 4A mode for sealed road all-wheel drive.
4A Only available with the v6 engine from XLT and up model grades!!!
Looks exactly like the others just like the others look like each other now
They seem to have finally got the styling right, damn good looking truck 👍
Are you high? That is the ugliest Ute on the market by a huge margin.
@@s1xone611 nah that distinction goes to the dmax or new ranger. Ranger from front on looks like a blowfly.
I don't think it's ugly the Ranger is better but it's not to bad.
The air con feeds into your back passages? Cool.
FYI its tech from their Xpander series of MPV's that developing markets get, implementation is different though, more upmarket.
@@mindfreeze0838 it would want to be. 😁
Whilest a good improvement from the previous model, they should have done more , since its a brand new model, but looks like they are only playing catch ups, and even could not do a full catch up.
150 kw n 500 nm, though just a number, but definitely plays in the mind of the buyers. A damped tail gate, proper rear AC vents for aussie summer, rear disc brakes should have been added, and they could have added a bigger centre screen too.
That's where ford trumps others. Ranger has a great packaging, which easily overshadows its reliability.
It will be interesting if the NZ spec utes will differ as we have the VRX as the Top Spec.A non Dampered Tailgate is one the the Cheap-outs but I am sure options will arrive soon.
I love my MR Triton but after buying it I realised that due to suspension design it is very limited in how much of a lift you can give it. 30mm is all thats recommended unless you go UCA's and a diff drop. Hopefully the new suspension isn't as limited.
I have an mr triton and fitted 34s 285 75 17 km3 with only 2” body lift with some bmc.So all my suspension cvs geometry remained same.By lift kits you loose from drop
What ratio is the low range? I had a super select pajero and it was only 1.9:1. Not deep enough. A weird compromise.
Who doesn't love ' deep ' gears ?
@@perpetualgrin5804I love deep fuel tanks.
@@davidnobular9220 Can't think of anything that's deep except philosophy .
Is it true that this model Triton now has to have Adblue added???and does it have drum or rear disc brakes ??
Yes it has AdBlue and yes it has rear drum brakes
well the positive is that means its Euro 6 emissions, the downside is you will have to make sure there is adblue in the SRC tank otherwise the engine wont stat, but that wont be an issue per say.
I agree but it could be better if the front facia and rear looks more appealing to eyes of any person. Mitsubishi should learn how the FORD made an appealing looks. They are for a purpose as UTE but they should also consider the looks. I mean just like the vibes of wearing your favorite attire everyday which is nice to eyes. The brand is one of the best but not the looks
Love this model but if only it had a large capacity V6 petrol, was fwd, and a sedan i would buy it. Will keep my ' 380 '.😅
Still like a generation behind the Ranger
I dunno.....it now needs AdBlue so there's that.....
The touch screen now looks like an afterthought like the Hilux.
Be careful what you wish for. I have a 22 GLX+ and fit an "afterthought" Alpine head unit that sits offset from the dash and can tilt, which helps reduce sun glare. The big screens fixed into the dash cannot be adjusted and are difficult to see in harsh sunlight.
Once you put a bullbar on the front it will look ok. I like the interior and the fact it still has Buttons to operate the AC, Looks classy enough and looks like it will wear well. But having 150kw 470nm and a 6 speed Auto??? My RG Colorado from 2013 Had a 6 speed auto, 150kw and 500nm. That was 11 Years ago.
Thanks for a nice, balanced review. I like that you don't hold back. And dark headlining is godawful! You mention child seats, and I'd be keen to hear what a mother thought of elevating a chunky 3-years-old up into a child seat, and where she'd put the pram whilst taking the vehicle to the supermarket when this commercial vehicle is given family duties. I'm also wondering if Mitsubishi is really reaping the benefits of its alliance with Nissan/Renault, because the Outlander has garnered some excellent reviews, and now the Triton looks to be heading in the same direction though I'm not in the market for any diesel-engined vehicle with a rear suspension that was old in my great-grandfather's day. I'm old enough to recall Mitsubishi releasing some excellent vehicles and then leaving them on the market for far too long without upgrading them - perhaps due to a lack of money to develop a new version - and I hope those days are in the past because when Mitsubishi gets it right, it is _really_ right.
Triton looks pretty good but would definitely choose the Amarok V6 Style which I can get for $70 with 5 years free servicing. Still a lot of money though.
Px33 is the first japanese four wheel drive conventional gearbox tranmission is made by mitsubishi px33 in 1917 then Mitsubishi Jeep Willy 1950, pajero 1970, mitsubishi triton is the futuristic advance gearbox tranmission technology can shifting to 100 k mph with gear shifter paddle when speeding on road, mitsubishi have ability to invented a very very very good car because thousands of engineers working in mitsubishi company in various field such as shipping aircraft jet fighter rocket satelite nuklear plant electronic electrical small and large products
Saying it right now that its better than Hilux and close to Ranger.
That said looking forward to see what Nissan offer
for Navara, which I hear might have E:Power version.
Close to a ranger? Doesn’t have a v6, has a shitty tablet on the dash, shit tray, no 12v, no tailgate dampener, looks fucking atrocious, it’s not even on the same planet.
you forgot the Navara pro 4x with 5 links suspension. LOL
Maybe don't get height adjustable seat belts in a Ford Ranger but you do in an AU Falcon 👌
AU FALCON 4 Life!
I would like to know why android is not wireless.
What they could give it an 8 speed auto?
is it needed though?
if the final drive ratio is right there is no need for an extra 2 over-drive gears, also as Matt said the transmission appears to downshift on inclines, that is actually better as the engine is not labouring in 6th gear, on the other hand it would make for an ordinary drive if the gears are shifting between 6ths and 5th which suggest not enough torque (or in this case turbo lag) to pull top gear.
I wish mitsubishi would make a phev version of this in the USA
I’m waiting on the GWM Cannon Alpha
I will bring you a review on it when I can. 🫣
Height adjustable seat belt I have in my Ford Ranger..... Thank you ... I find it funny they copied the colour of the Ranger Wildtrak
Tow test please 🙏
Nice ute.
Still non-disk rear brakes?
Correct. Drums for now - discs likely to come later on.
The elephant in the room is always that all the damned Ford Ranger, Nissan Navara, Toyota Hailux, Ww Amark and all the other small Pickups are that their cabins are not big enough and therefore the cars are WAY too expensive because they are simply useless as family cars. The cars cost the same as SUV cars and are also more expensive than SUV cars, but you only get half a car compared to the SUVs. There is simply too little legroom in the back seat and the cars are also too narrow. A man of 183cm cannot sit comfortably in the back seat of any of those pickups because there is NO LEG ROOM. So what the hell are we paying for when we can't have our 17 year old sons and daughters sitting in the back seat. THE CABINS ARE TOO SMALL AND WE GET TOO LITTLE CARS FOR THE PRICES OF THE CARS. Why isn't anyone talking about the damn problem with the small cabins. No legroom equals the fact that the cars cannot be used for families with children aged 15. Too little legroom.
You’ve got a ute hate problem.
Is this new engine Euro 5 or Euro 6?
Euro 6
Still not sure about the fuel emissions standards coming in 2025 which affects 4wd that pulls out more than 200g/km of CO2. My Rexton is Euro 6 diesel with reduced NO2 but C02 emissions are above 200g same like other Euro 6 engines. If the government is only concerned about carbon emissions then what is the point of Euro 6 diesel?
Here it is, the new Mitsubishi Triton, it's bigger, it's bolder it looks like the design team for it's front has daily dose of LSD before they start their work day.
I love they way they are ALL trying to chase the Ranger, even to the point of copying the colour and styling. These is a lot to be said for Ford’s solid R&D department.
As having the previous top spec as a company vehicle it was OK. The front and rear suspension just didn’t feel as if they were working together. Nice feel from the front and truck like from the rear that felt better when carrying weight. At least the front end design was statistically safer for pedestrians. Just don’t understand why they are making these wider with a much higher front end like the American ones, where the pedestrian deaths from these has gone up! Same for push bike and motorbike riders as a slopping front end means collision with pedestrians and the like will have them go over the bonnet. The oversized tall fronts simply push them forward and you then drive over them with less than ideal vision for children. I won’t be asking for any of the new ones for this reason.
I think the redesign is meant to make pedestrians and other vulnerable road users safer due to different materials and construction, but I hear what you’re saying.
Is this a Nissan 2.4 twin turbo
No it's a new Mitsubishi engine.
They are hoping to take some sales from the ranger and the hilux but they have lost the opportunity to match the others with power.
It’s more powerful than it was… but I hear what you’re saying.
that grill tho
Wow got my Gls premium for 46k nov 2020 now its almost 60k 😂
i want that digital odometer though
As soon as you said a Ford Ranger garbage heap was the primary competition I knew it was time to turn off the video….. seriously?? A Ford??
What planet are you commenting from mate?
I bought a GLXR in 2013 for 41,000. Prices have gone up 50% in 11 years
Many other things, like houses have doubled.
And that is the problem, equity in the house goes up, and so does the spending! #inflation@@geepuller1
I wonder why manufacturers bring new model vehicle out and yet fail to recognise simple things that other manufacturers fit. You mentioned the rear gate not being damped, the lack of lighting in the load area, cheap and nasty type tub liner in stead of a spray in one, no cover and unusually, one top tether making it more onerous to fit multiple child seats. I like the styling but pricing and failings let me down in a purchase decision.
The argument from Mitsubishi at the launch is that they have a mantra of continuous improvement. So, expect model year changes that may include some of those.
Definitely up there with the Ranger with a slight edge on reliability. Why it isn't a deal breaker not having toneau covers or roller lids in the back like the top spec Fords? Well, it's way CHEAPER yet is more capable especially off-road, that Super Select II system is king. Good review here, Matt 👌🏼
Do i need to cancel my order?
find out at 12:01am 1/3/24!!!! being a mitsi, i'm sure it's going to be perfectly serviceable, but uninspiring and less modern than the ranger/mux options.
Hard to say I'm coming from a dmax and mux which their top spec don't even have full time awd or 360 motion camera.
@@dam0683Say that again. In Thailand it's beautiful in real life. Video and photos don't look like the real thing. Super select is one of a kind sent from God
I'd say no. If you've got the coin for a Ranger, go a Ranger. I'm making the choice to not spend Ranger wildtrak money and Getting the GSR. I have driven it and personally it was a fantastic ride and surprisingly better and tighter than my 2020 Ranger PX3. Is the suspension at the next gen ranger level - no, but it's damn close in my opinion. Have seen another reviewer say the rear jiggled over bumps, no shit. That's what happens with an unladed rear. I didn't find it to jump around in my drive, so really one must ask, what tire pressures were they running on the review car? I know if i got around 3-4 psi too much, my Range becomes a little jiggly. Anyway everything is subjective these days. As much as I wanted a new gen Wildtrak, I think i'll stick with my GSR order as I don't think I'm getting a lesser driving experience. Yes, there are some things the Triton should have that it doesn't, but that will drive the price further up - people are already complaining about prices across the market, and Mitsubishi will do just fine where they have priced themselves. Don't cancel, go to a dealer on the weekend and take one for a drive. If they have the outgoing MR model, take that for a spin, then jump into the new MV to get a sense of how it's changed. It'll be worth your while!
@jamelterk470 your reply is spot on will look forward to my graphite grey vrx nz model which is the gsr athlete spec model with tow bar,canopy, bonet protection, weather sheilds for $69k nzd.
Maybe they need to add another two turbos and another 3 gears......
Not keen on the painted bumper and grille, and the Navara rear doors. Paying that much for a new ute you'd want it to look good and be useful off road.
Looks are subjective, apparently.
How come they dont bring it to America?
because the USA has a 25% tariff for these type of commercial vehicles if they are imported. Look up "chicken tax" to learn more about it.
Land of the free indeed right ...
Chicken tax.
Engine too small ?
A couple of critical items missed for a long distance tourer or play thing - Low range gearing for decending steep grades off-road. Good, bad, what? Fuel tank capacity? Good, bad what?
Piano black covered center console, on a work ute. What on earth are Mitsubishi smoking.
Yes tow please
My husband already has a 5 year old Triton and this new one craps all over the old one. I can't wait till he gets his new one in July. It will be a GLS, but top of the line for that model. WE took it for a test drive and fell in love with it. It will be even better for when we are towing our caravan.
My first impression from inspecting one on a hoist (taking a good look at all things structural) is that it's particularly light-duty. It isn't anywhere near as robust as a Hilux or a Ranger. Personally, I wouldn't buy one.
Pffft, tailgate dampers around AU$30.00 on E pay for most model utilties.
Holy shit if you cant let a tailgate down without a drama give it away mate...
It's still got the same crappy drum brake rear end. So last century !
Even my old 1988 GQ Patrol had discs all round !
Drums are better for off road and towing. Semis still use drums.
@@Murakai If drums are so " good ", why do the likes of Landcruiser, Patrol, Ram, Silverado etc have discs all round ????????
Drums suffer from brake fade when braking with big loads, and are shit after water crossings!
Its easy to be better than the Ranger but the HiLux???
Does the driver attention system become really annoying when wearing sunglasses?
So it's gone down the road as every other 4x4 instead of being it's own thing. Getting bigger and heavier with more invasive ADAS Crap. I bought the MQ Exceed over the MR GLS because it was smaller than all the competitor behemoths and doesn't have the ADAS trash.
It’s still smaller than most of them, so calm down.
Just sits under a GWM Ute
Isn't this just a rebadged Nissan Navarra?
No way. This is an entirely new model, and the next Navara will be based on it!
$27,000 IN THAILAND
Good for Thailand.
The Canon is the best option by far Looks great too
….. it’s a mitsubishi. i’ve owned a few and they disappoint. i don’t see that changing
What was disappointing about them?
I have owned a few myself and never been disappointed, mind you I don't let anyone drive it and I service my cars myself.
Bi-turbo, compound turbo but certainly not twin turbo
It has two turbos, and Mitsubishi describes it as a “twin turbo”, and also as “two stage turbocharging”.
$50k for a Trition they must be high
