2022 Mitsubishi Triton GSR Everything you should know

The Triton is a feisty filly full of gear, but not so precious that you can’t use it for what it is meant to be used for.
Written review: brochure and Specifications HERE:
The range starts at a mere $30,740 for a bare back version for two, to a Sporty GSR model at $63,640. A nifty tan interior adds a grand to the price, but for tradies dirty after a day on the tools, contrasting upholstery is not your best friend.
The soft cover pack brings the advantage of keep your gear in the rear dry, if not secure. The regular GSR sans the pack is a trifle, at $56,940.
Outside, our Sunflare Orange car looked the absolute business. It worries not about the additions of chrome and other frippery. Instead, you get orange and black, and that’s that. It looks quite sexy. Our test car had the extra menace of an aggressively placed bull bar, whose black finish has been given a low-glow matte effect.
The advantage of properly tested and designed accessories can’t be overstated. Airbags and sensors all still work as intended.
18” shiny black wheels look like they’ll shy away from a building site, and pass out at the first sight of a rock, but looks can be deceiving. Huge chunky tyres can go anywhere, aided by the superb 4x4 Super Select II 4x4 system.
Inside:
The cabin is tight in the back seat, and GSR lacks the handy underfloor hold-all included in lower models. There is a weird air repeater in the roof to get flow back to the peeps in the pauper seats. Why on earth you wouldn’t have vents in the back of the centre console like normal people, is beyond me. It is an utterly daft idea.
The driver gets a powered seat, with both posh pews heated. The cabin is strewn with a mix of leather and vinyl. The windows are electric, as are the auto-folding mirrors. The lights are dusk sensing, and they have an auto high beam function.
The 7” audio infotainment system is basic but has all the function you could need, including CarPlay and Android Auto. 6 Speaker do a decent sound, but it lacks the depth that audiophiles desire. All of the money has gone into ability, not making things pretty, and it shows.
There are acres of scratchy plastic in an interior that feels like it could be hosed out without a second thought. Rubber mats are handy, and highly recommended if you plan on doing dirty deeds, done cheap or otherwise.

The duel cab 4x4 utes are the Commodore and Falcons of decades ago and the bulk of them never go off road I think the duel cab utes outsell SUVs and hatchbacks

[@gaycarboys]

couldn't agree more

[@WazzaG076]

Here’s a vehicle which is a near miss in almost every area except perhaps appearance. For its price and large external size it is not an very appealing place to be inside. It seems very cramped in the second row, somewhat underpowered, under equipped and quite underwhelming to drive in both city and for off-road use. Maybe tradies would consider it for carrying the family around town and off-road at weekends but there are plenty of other brands out there which perform either or both task far better. A miss for me.

I don't think it is aimed at either of us. it is the 90k Pickups that utterly stun me

[@WazzaG076]

I can’t believe people are buying these machines either.

@@WazzaG076 3 of the top 4! mind you, you do feel rather invincible

[@WazzaG076]

I’ve always believed in primary safety father than secondary. I prefer the vehicle that helps me avoid the accident rather than merely protects me if it happens.

@@WazzaG076 are you referring to the lack of active steering?
