2024 Mitsubishi Triton/L200 on/off-road (inc. 0-100) review

[@Mochabear85]

Some things I agree with, others I don't. I've seen plenty of other reviews or videos with the MV Triton off-road performing without issue. So one has to ask, why the struggle here? User error? Trying to switch to 4H while standing still results in exactly what happened in this review - you need to be in Neutral, not Drive! This is standard when switching to 4H with the Super Select II, you actually either need to be moving with foot off the throttle and it'll engage within seconds or stationary and in Neutral, same going from 2H to 4HLC. Going to 4HLC from 4H at a standstill will switchover in seconds just fine I've found. I tried switching to 4H without moving in my GSR and in the Mrs Pajero Sport this morning, does the same thing as his video. And how did we go from doing an initial review throwing it around sandy hills like it was nothing, to oh it's struggling on our off-road course? Something isn't right there! There's more to pick apart from this video, but I'd be typing for ages. I'm certainly not a Triton fanatic, but this review just makes the Triton look incredibly incompetent off-road or a shit ute all round, has been set up to fail I feel.

[@DW-10]

Owned a MN and MR triton. The MN had mechanical levers. The MR the same electronic actuation as the MV. 2H to 4H on the move or stationary was always flawless. 4HLC was typically delayed, in N and stationary. 4LLC more often than no needed the change to be cancelled and the vehicle to be moved backward or forward with multiple attempts (or a long wait). Compared to a Hilux or the Ranger it was a slow system to shift into low range.

[@toxikbro]

Bro Triton is a shit ute. Don't need a long paragraph to justify it. It's the newest, oldest ute and needs a facelfit already. How's the Navara Gauge cluster 😅

[@DW-10]

@@toxikbro I wouldn't say it is a shit ute. MV was nice to drive and in many ways (but of course not all) the MR was superior to the D-Max, Hilux and Nav of the same generation. The MV is a nice ute. No ute is flawless.

@@toxikbro Honestly "BRO", don't need to justify shit. Couldn't care less if people don't like my choices in things! My comment is based on my observations on this video, and first hand/real world use. I mean you seem like the insecure type, the kind that has to sit there and justify to everyone why something is shit or something is better than the rest, y'know to inflate the ego a bit. No matter what car I've owned, I've come across many of you "Bro's" that need to say that a car is shit, without a solid effing adult discussion. Is there a point to it? But go ahead, keep doing your thing. As for the cluster - works fine thanks!👌

[@riverzin3186]

I agree with your observation mate. Another thing is the hill start assist. The ute has it, so why didn't it engage and why did he say it doesn't have that function. I've never owned a Triton so I'm not some sort of fan or whatever. This video just looks like a set up.

I’ve just come back from a track where the running board rubbed on the side of the ruts, less than five minutes ago. Mine is a 2023 Ranger Wildtrak twin turbo. Yesterday it had a 150 mile run at 80mph down a motorway and the day before it towed nearly four tons of cattle up and down some steep minor roads and some Welsh twisty A roads. The day before it was carrying a full 1000 litre IBC of water from one place to another. I also have a 2014 2.2 auto Ranger Limited that works equally hard daily and the main issue with that one is that it regularly breaks rear leaf springs. It has had five replacements over the years, both genuine and pattern.

[@PvtRookie]

Hey Paul, I’m a massive fan and have been watching car expert for years. Just I guess a bit of feedback on the video and the this particular Triton. I work for Mitsubishi currently as the main brand I sell and I think you have a lot of great points in the video, however there’s a couple parts that weren’t in line with my own hands on experience with the new Triton. The parts where you got stuck in the various 4wd modes shouldn’t be happening and aren’t reflective of dealer drive day Mitsubishi organised at the RACQ driver training centre in Queensland. In the course they put us through, it performed flawlessly on the stock tyres and on stock tyre pressures. The particular 4wd track they put us on was comparitable to the course you’ve just run with uneven ruts, sharp climbs, severely off camber angles, mud, sand, water crossing and it didn’t get stuck whatsoever. The car also gained traction straight away and pulled without hesitation is every situation. One thing I noticed, the auto hold wasn’t working at all for you. I actually think the particular car you were supplied has issues because the new MV genuinely is more capable than the old MR and the MR is absolutely the mountain goat you described it as. I myself really like the suspension tuning however my on road experience has been quite urban. I agree wholeheartedly with the driver fatigue monitor and the stop start and I’m anticipating that Mitsubishi will patch these in due time. I’m really keen to see your towing test on these as I think this where it will really shine, particularly with the all new chassis. Overall, a lot of people are complaining about the the pricing in these comment section but the MV is still several grand cheaper than the comparative models in both the Hilux and the Ranger whilst actually being a much better spec’s car than the hilux (outside of the 30nm difference) and a much more reliable option than the Ranger. I’m happy they’ve had a good crack at moving away from being the cheap option to now offer a more premium dual cab at what is still a good value for money point. Just a strong point to mention with the range, the GLX is the most well equipped entry model dual cab on the market and I’d be keen to see a comparison video on all the entry dual cabs on the market as I think it’d be good for the tradies and business customers that buy these. All in all mate, keep up the great work and always keen to watch your videos.

I have spoken to a few people now since launch that were impressed with the effortlessness of it off-road. A couple of them were at the same event as you. Now they weren't trying to sell me on it, because they didn't need to, they were just giving me their honest feedback, thoughts and comparisons. If Mitsubishi see this review, I do think they would be asking WTF? Damage has already been done though, with the reach Carexpert has, this video has done enough to convince people this Triton is a big step backwards going by some of the negative comments.....

[@shaneclk9854]

Can you tell them to change that front design it's the ugliest thing I have ever seen. Last generation was a gem compared to this

[@MochizukiYuusei]

Yeah, one thing I noticed is that this is one of the only videos I've seen on the Triton where it didn't do really well on the off-road tests, whereas in all the other reviews that I've seen which include off-road tests, the Triton performed flawlessly, one video even comparing the older model to this newer model and showing how this new model is genuinely a big improvement even in it's off-road capability.

[@msug94]

Very fair review Paul, been following you and the team since the early CarAdvice days. Just purchased this as my first new car and having had it for two weeks, must say I am very happy except for two things, stop start and driver monitoring. Both get turned off as soon as I get into the car. Why a Triton for me? Never owned a ute but I had one for a few months for one of my previous jobs (2000 Hilux non turbo diesel, loved it) and with a small bub and my role at work it’s what I wanted/needed. Liked the look when it was released mid last year, so I shortlisted a Triton, a Dmax, a BT50 and a wildcard, a Cannon. The Navara was too old and small in the back, the Musso was great but didn’t have adaptive cruise and who knows about Ssangyong solvency, the Hilux is dear for a 10 year old ute and then the Ranger; honestly really wanted one, but the reliability stories and the price ruled it out. Test drove the Mitsubishi first and loved it (feels like a modern Pajero) and the softness was a positive as I will do a lot around town. The steering was the thing that sold me with the modern interior, and the engine was smooth and reasonably quiet with plenty of punch. Dmax had the best seats but was a generation behind and was what I’d buy if I needed a workhorse not a ute with a family. The biggest surprise was the Cannon, which had me stumped. It was 85-90% of the car for 65% of the price. It drove well enough, interior was nice, and was well built. The thing that got me was the notchy steering and the slightly underpowered engine. I picked a GSR due to the fact that once depreciation was considered the triton wasn’t that much dearer (although I was lucky I got a very generous fleet discount). Of the 4cyl utes this is the pick, it’s by no way perfect but I think most Aussies will appreciate the softer ride (much better when towing and/or 100kgs in the back), the steering and a 10 year warranty. But I will be buying the kit to disable the stop start system when it’s released, and any kit to at least turn the sound off for the driver monitoring system!

[@unknownd7409]

[@hedydd2]

Apart from the generational engine failures the Mitsubishi is a fine truck, if you like its driving position and suspension comfort. And they have only now uprated them to tow 3.5 tons. The previous generations only allowed this when towing three axle trailers for some reason, certainly in Europe. No longer an issue in Europe of course, because they [and Nissan] have ceased to sell in that vast market.

[@ArkiDeos]

[@hankelvisimpersonator2832]

Hi Paul. Great review as usual. But I felt it a bit .... rushed? I bought a GSR two weeks ago (New Gen) and love it. With a few "dang, I wish they would fix that" thrown in. I have not experienced the problems you experienced changing modes. But then again, I followed the Mitsubishi guidelines and put it in Neutral first ;-) I also remember your clear favourite, the Raptor, failing on the hill climb. And needed front, middle and rear diffs locked. And the Raptor has FAR more aggressive tyres. I think doing "offroad" tests of any four wheel drive should be on matching rubber. It's the first thing any person heading offroad will upgrade on their car. So, when you get to the 2024 Ute test, please put the same tyres on each vehicle. Rubber off the showroom floor is practically useless offroad. As mentioned everywhere the driver distraction and engine cut off are both significant annoyances. Mitsubishi would be better served by remembering the setting the driver selected between drives. Having to turn them off EVERY drive is just frustrating. Hopefully they might fix this in a software update. The biggest issue I have found is in towing. Yes. Odd. I have a caravan weighing in at 2.7T loaded. On undulating roads, it felt bloody unsafe when I first towed. Then I learned not to fight it and let it do it's thing. Much better. Hitting undulations on the road at 100k's is a new pair of undies experience the first time around until you master the "don't fight it" technique. But, the suspension is way to soft to tow anything over 2.5T IMHO. Your upcoming tow test will no doubt be an eye opener for everyone. I think as the aftermarket suppliers ramp up, a new suspension setup is on the cards. The driver assists are awesome. But again, you need to get used to them, as there are a few interesting behaviours, particularly if you haven't had a "modern" car before. The adaptive cruise control. It's great considering I am coming from an NX Pajero which has cruise, but is not adaptive. Two times though, I had to take a deep breath. The first I was in peak hour traffic, doing about 80kph on the freeway with the cruise set at 100. Sitting nicely behind a vehicle in front, I was cool McCool with my adaptive cruise control on, speeding up and slowing down with the traffic. Then a motor bike went past me on the passenger side splitting lanes between the cars. I guess he was doing 90-100kph. In an instant the Triton sped up very quickly to catch the bike. I'm not sure if it was me jumping on the brakes, or if it came to it's senses, but it slowed down before I plowed into the car in front. Certainly woke me up. The next was when following a car in the right lane at 70 on a dual carriage way with a median strip in the middle. Car in front moved right into a turning lane and I was going straight ahead. However, the car slowed down significantly (as it was turning right), and the Triton jumped on the brakes and slowed down to to match it (about 30 kph) in the right lane with cars behind me. And I now had a clear lane ahead slowing to a stop. I stomped on the accelerator. Another pair of undies to wash. It does say in the drivers manual cruise control only to be used on the freeway. But really? Having said all that, do I like it? Damn right I do. Do I regret bying it? Not at all. Would I buy something else next time? Nope. Well. Probably not. To me it came down to what I got for my hard earned. It was quite a bit less than a similar spec 4cyl Ranger, and WAAAY less than a V6 Ranger. And I refuse to pay the Toyota tax. With the towing observations above, it is still a great towing vehicle. Hills that the Pajero struggled with are no problems for the Triton. It's got all the power I need and there was not a single hill that made it drop below the speed limit. And it's quite a bit more economical than the Pajero. Probably very similar to the Ranger 4cly I imagine. And for me, it is insanely comfortable around town and for long drives.

[@longdongjohn6588]

Unfortunately they need to have them switch back on after each drive or they don't get the 5 star safety rating (or a 10th or two of a litre per 100 less around town, for the stop start). Mitsubishi knows that, and, unless something big changes at ANCAP, they'll tell you to kick rocks, not unlike what Hyundai and Kia did earlier this year. You'll have to get an OBDII dongle to get them to turn off and stay off.

[@petergriffin4588]

Nothing is wrong with the handling, the suspension in the triton is tuned for Australian road conditions by aussies. There is always a compromise when tuning a suspension, if you choose stiff shock absorbers the ride will be firm, harsh and the vehicle will corner better, if you go for less stiff shocks the ride will be soft , and more comfortable , which is what they were trying to accomplish No one is going to be driving around corners quickly with a ute, so you may as well tune for comfort, this is common sense, the soft ride also makes it better on rough roads and less harsh.

[@ubernoob103]

@@warcrabcyber9908 yes, I understand all that. The problem is, literally every other ute does a better job. You can go on about how this generation Triton was tuned by the aussies, but the simple fact of the matter is it is still absolutely average. Practically every motor journalism outlet has mentioned how the low speed ride quality is actually pretty jittery - so the fact the high speed body control is so atrocious really shows that the development hasnt been as extensive as theyve led us to believe. I know you dont go around corners quickly in a 4x4, but it is fairly obvious that theyve not done an “amazing” job. Further to that, the “driver aid” niggles are inexcusable and downright annoying.

If you looking for ride comfort , a dmax and hilux is not going to do any better , these are pickups, they are not meant to be hallmarks for ride comfort, if you want ride comfort , you are better off getting a car or suv. You want a pickup but expecting it to corner like a sports car and ride as comfortable as a luxary car. And still go off road and do everything perfect, Stop dreaming

[@Bobtubeau]

It's ok. Utes are all expensive now so it's no different. We need more decent chinese utes to keep these competitve.

[@chriswilson2327]

We dont need any more Chinese Ute's here

The fact that you can drive in 4wd high range on sealed surface is fantastic in 2024.

[@joelcolgate3683]

I agree. Although Mitsubishi have had this feature for decades. My old 1993 Pajero could do the same. Currently have a 2016 Triton, I can't remember the last time I drove it in 2wd.

[@ralphroads]

Unsealed 4x4's review seems to show otherwise. Their testing showed that the newer Triton had a better 4WD system compared to the previous generation.

Yeah right, I drove it, hard and soft also drove the Dmax and Toyota, agree with some of your opinions not all but then again I am not a automotive journalist, I bought a GSR. Good review although I don’t agree with all your assessments.

[@Vinleesel151]

Hi Paul! Just for the hill descent control speed, I believe, can be adjusted by pressing the accelerator pedal apparently. Also would @carexpert redo this review using a different triton? Seems like there was some injustice done in this review especially in the off road section. Also what did you mean when you said hill read regraded?

[@Mehcorp]

i don't understand how adding a second turbo makes it a 'new engine' it's still the same 2.4L. idk if i am missing something but i rather if they have a V6 diesel then the same deployment engine with a second turbo

[@landrover1155]

Paul can you do this test again in dry conditons as you did with the MR and select rock mode for maximum agression of the traction control?. Cheers.

[@hedydd2]

Not sure why you assumed that the centre diff lock would make any difference to the two axle twister? It would make a difference if there was a big traction difference between the front and back axles though, which wasn’t the case with your twister test. Also if all four wheels are spinning equally, as on that hill, no system invented will create extra traction. You will need skyhooks and warp drive.

[@EdenPearce-sg9ir]

Please do a review of the 48V Hilux Rogue - no comparisons exist to the non 48V version

[@CarExpertAus]

Should have one in the next few weeks.

[@ianweal3081]

@CarExpertAus yes Paul, it does say A/T but it's clearly an A/T aimed at retaining reasonable HWY traction, low road noise and primarily gravel road grip. It's not in the category of the A/T fitted std to your Raptor, is it? Even you couldn't say they are are A/T tread pattern when compared to you BFGoodrich K02 which is what viewers expect a A/T tread pattern to look like. I used to run Perelli Scorpion A/T's on my on road car, as I knew it would be better suited for gravel and more puncture resistant, but they were totally useless on grassy inclines for grip (sorry Perelli). An experienced man like yourself can see what I'm implying, some A/T's don't have tread pattern to grip, just as these on the Triton clearly don't. KO2's would make a huge difference, yet they are still categorised as A/T but have a tread pattern you'd expect a A/T to have. Thats why there are so many comments here, "They're not A/T's" which the tread pattern clearly aren't of the std off roaders expect an A/T to have. No one purchasing after market A/T's would even consider this tread pattern.

[@MCT34R]

I recently drove one of these and to me this isn’t the upgrade I hoped it would be, feels like a cheaply built ute that’s lost its biggest advantage….the price! Shows that it doesn’t matter how much a car costs people will still Buy it, if it’s good.

[@brandon50199]

I would love a 4x4 that goes the opposite route to most car manufacturers these days and by that I mean they give us a car with a good engine, disc brakes all around, front and rear lockers standard and absolutely no additional creature comforts like aeb, driver distraction monitoring etc, to cut down on drive away price so that it could be around the $30,000-$35,000 price range. I currently have a 2014 PC challenger and I've not once complained that I don't have aeb, but I would love a front locker. Even if car manufacturers when selling 4x4's opted for their higher tier models to have things like uhf, suspension upgrades, lift kits, instead of these driver assists. I know it's unlikely but I'd absolutely buy a new car if it was bare bones and had a price to show it. So many cars have unnecessary features which add unnecessary cost

Those dashboard gauges and steering wheel look suspiciously similar to my 2022 Nissan Navara... Heard they were platform sharing for the new models, interested to see Nissans new version.

[@mitsuevo8mr]

They will shared some parts but engine and transmission was fully developed by Mitsubishi!! The new Nissan Navara will probably have a Mitsubishi engine and transmission!

[@brianknights8579]

It does have a hill hold function and your hill decent speed is changed by changing your speed with the accelerator.

[@davidmohan6629]

No doubt the sine wave is good for testing body control but do you really think it's an indication of overtaking on a country road? Your basically saying that every dual cab ute and vehicles with soft suspension are ok for the city but not suitable for highway driving which is kinda ridiculous

[@gssran6897]

Hi Paul if you got the time can you please review the new GWM Tank 500

How is the adaptive cruise and lane keep assist? In your videos, you always make seperate section for that. This is missing in this video. I am really interested in that. I am tied between Mazda50 sp, Volkswagen Amarok style 500 and gwm cannon Alpha ultra.

It would’ve been good to see how this one compares to the old one when towing. I’d like to think the lower torque range would be a big help.

[@landrover1155]

The tyres were slick with clay on the second climb. Big difference by the look of it versus the dry hill. There are other reviews of dry climbing where it has been great offroad. Paul notes the state of the hill and muddy tyres on the climb here. Cheers

[@KuroRyuu86]

Hey Paul, Once the new Prado and GX comes into Aus. Can you test them side by side. What's the difference between the Lexus version and the Toyota version. Pls.

[@operation4wheelz]

Hi Paul. I really think you need to update the testing process on these 4wds and use low range for the offset mogul. High range TC isn’t tailored for that kind of driving. Low range is. It will give the public a better idea how each systems works between cars.

[@Lee-sti8wrx]

Every time you complain about the offset camera man, get over it. I have driven tritons for 10 years and hitched my trailer up without an issue. You obviously don't realise the camera shows the towball so you can back it in exactly the the same as if it was central. My work ute is an LDV, and you can't even see the towball and its central. The cameras are calibrated, so seriously man, get over it. If you can't back that in and hitch a trailer, you probably shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

[@Karlos3401]

you need the rear diff locked for the obstacle, or use left foot braking...

[@johnnumbat9782]

Thanks Paul - I’d be definitely keeping the previous gen Triton and avoid all those annoying driver aids and stop-stat function and what seems to be a less than adequate 4WD system which is so good in the previous gen - instead spend your money on a new aluminium canopy and don’t tow a 3.5 tonne caravan.

[@psalmboy_outdoor]

You can probably do a moose/roo test included in your future testing...

[@vtv8man]

Unbelievably disappointing. I was so hoping this new model would be a step forward in many ways but it’s perhaps one forward and two back.

[@DW-10]

Definately a step forward. Maybe not a leap, but a step, in every way. Go for a drive. It isn't a V6 Ranger but it is much better than the MR Triton.

[@kameshpadayachee3338]

I've watched many of these Ute reviews and just wonder about the usefulness of the traction control test in 2WD on the offset mogul. Surely if the vehicle has 4WD, as a driver it would make more sense to use its full capabilities to get you through an obstacle. A moose test or something on a slippery surface would be more valuable to me as a buyer to test traction and stability control.

[@Balrog323]

Just saw one today in my country in white color and I gotta say, that pictures don't do justice to the new L200. Looks way bigger and nicer than previous platform (in my opinion) and sadly I'll have to watch this review later today (almost midnight in Nic).

I was wondering if they are not largely the same vehicle -- Mitsubishi is now part of the Renault/Nissan alliance... don't think Nissan has a twin-turbo 4cyl, certainly not in Canada, where the Frontier (Navara) only comes with a 3.8L V6.
