2024 Mitsubishi Triton off-road review: First drive of Mitsubishi’s new pickup/bakkie

[@roguetrader08]

Pretty impressed by what I see. They've upgraded what needed upgrading and kept the stuff that worked well. I think they've nailed that middle-of-the-road sector of the market, with 4x4 performance that will be at or near the top, at a reasonable price. This will sell well.

[@matthewwijsma9978]

Good to see it is still a very 'Mitsubishi' vehicle despite joining Renault/Nissan. Kept super select etc, improved the previous gen motor rather than going a Renault abomination of an engine. Good stuff. Hopefully we see Nissans get better, rather than Mitsubishi's get worse.

[@nathansharma87]

Well said.

Great first insight, looks like a good bit of fun and massive improvement with the response, looking forward to your full review closer to launch date 😁

[@fhclappen8595]

Im not sure. Yes it is an improvment over the previous model. But somehow the body style seems a bit old fashion. The dynamic shield front is gone, the back lights looks not stylish. It is bigger in every dimention, defnitly a plus. Just doesnt look manly or macho. Aftermaket accesories might transform it into more looker

[@roguetrader08]

[@julianclarke4886]

[@longdongjohn6588]

The fact they told you turn off the driver distraction monitor before heading off worries me a lot, enough to make me hesitant to buy. I remember the drama with the lane keep and AEB on the Dmax/BT50 when they first launched.

[@ianweal3081]

Well I can reflect on this driver technology first hand distroying a brand new D/Max on 8th September 2023. Scenario. M1 north bound just nth Port Macquarie. I'm travelling sth, need to stop to attend to an issue on our caravan (in tow). As it's 110 klms an hour traffic I'm focusing on my mirrors to not impede on any following traffic. Next thing there's dust, dirt rocks flying everywhere some distance behind us. I alight from my car to see a D/Max appear out of the dust in the centre island between nth/sth corridors of traffic. Interestingly two nth bound cars stop, look around, render no assistance & drive off again. I walks up to vehicle, (quite some distance, so took a little time) I arrives, driver emerges totally in shock, no injuries, just totally shocked. He explains he doesn't know what happened, it brand new, just collected it from Port Mac dealer on route to Qld to have it fitted out with gear, bullshit. I had to leave him and contend with those steel safety divider cables as he'd gone directly into them, they'd wrapped around his car front wheel, he'd torn them out of the mounts, they'd recoiled across two nth bound lanes. Now if you've ever inspected these fittings, they're possibly 30mm thick solid steel bolts about 400-500mm long with huge nuts attached and these were being flung around by trucks/cars still passing through at 110klms an hour. I dashed between clearings in traffic to gather these off the road, phew, another tragedy avoided. Then debris from his car was being picked up by truck tyres and being hurled in every direction, hence I set about retrieving this stuff. I was gobsmacked to find it was remnants of his front alloy wheel, shattered into pieces. Lots of small trivial plastic but all large plastics and all metal objects removed. Whilst doing this I attacked the attention of a nth bound ambulance whom stopped to address my actions, then saw the D/Max and presumed I was driver. No, I points the driver out resting beside D/max. They activate lights which begins to slow traffic , thank god. They attend to him in rear of ambulance and call for police attendance. Finally the cavalry arrive, two nth bound & one sth bound. They take control and I can finally relax. Coppers plan to drive vehicle and I point out it's not intact holding out front right disc brake pads in my hand, just some of the many steel parts retrieved from nth bound lanes of traffic. I then point to the pile of alloy, once the front right wheel. They inspect front right and say, yeah, see what you mean. Who are you? I'm the guy from that van way down there. I've been clearing the cables and debris off the road. They thank me and turn their attention to ambulance officer whom says. Looks as if he's fort with the lane keep assist and lost. Conclusion, he's not indicated to change lanes, lane assist tries to retain between lines, he struggled to merge right, finally it's let him do so but straight off the road into safety cables. I left the scene, attend to caravan issue and sets of sth again. On reflection after the event, I've often wondered if those two vehicles that stopped caused this incident by merging into this guy's path, his taken evasive action (no time to indicate) car fort his decision, result, catastrophic. Turn all that shit off whenever you can, it could have killed this guy, let alone destroyed his brand smacking new vehicle. Delivery paperwork was still on passenger seat along with spare fob for Christ Sake.

[@eoin1959]

The D-Max AEB is STILL a drama. Try driving on a two wheel track with grass growing over 30cm down the centre; the AEB will randomly and frequently slam the brakes on and stop the car. On the same trip my 2022 Pajero Sport never did this.

[@longdongjohn6588]

Anything is better value than a 70 series. Now that's it been bundled with so much tech and now a hybrid powertrain it can't claim a back to basics driving experience anymore, which was the only thing it had going for it.

[@yissibiiyte]

Pretty much every ute on the market is better value than a Hilux, so that's not saying much

[@grantwells6189]

Toyota fan club. I would say nowadays it would be the Isuzu fan club. Geez they go on about a pretty ordinary car

[@paulk734]

Pajero sport rear ceiling air con is actually cooled separately, it's not passed through like this triton.

[@lucasbarton7903]

This looks really compelling. Triton is no longer the cheaper "little brother" any more. That goes to LDV, GWM so they have appropriately positioned themselves in the middle. All the updates look really good. Torque on paper doesn't appear to be representative of actual driving performance. The two big improvements for me however are that the tub overhang is now sorted via longer wheelbase so you can put a tray on with better load distribution and the width has also increased. I think for a $10-$12k difference to Ranger/Hilux, I think this is a compelling package. Especially as in my view the tritons have proven to reliable over the years, and recent issues with Rangers concern me no matter how comfortable they are. Yes I'm sure the dealer fixes it all under warranty but the sheer inconvenience not only takes up your time but for others can cost you money if using for business/work.

[@je2338]

Good comment. I agree with you 100%. I wouldn't buy anything bar a Hilux, Triton or dmax.

[@warcrabcyber9908]

I look at people rush to buy ford rangers and totally forget how terrible the reliability is. All they are concerned with is how it looks , until the transmission goes or engine blows up. Then the fun is over. Look at all ford current engines , eco boost etc, they are terribly unreliable. Ford drive train reliability is about on par with gwm. Despite ford developing engine for much longer.

[@interceptor7905]

Exactly.They just want mean looking toys

[@garrygraham7901]

It should hold a good grip on its 3rd place behind Hilux and Ranger. A 1 tonne payload but still rear drum brakes seems a bit poor. Ford is strong on bling but weak on reliability. Toyota are shortly going to take a big jump ahead with the new gen Hilux, but the Triton makes a lot sense in the sub-70k price range.

Ive had a few Mitsubishi 4WDs and they've always delivered in terms of durability and reliability. I like how Mitsubishi keeps their design and engineering in Japan (with local suspension tuning).

I think it's a nice-looking ute that beats the Toyota SR5 which frankly is a massive step back comfort-wise on the old Triton already can't say I am a huge fan of my latest ute and won't be a Toyota again when It gets replaced next year this might just be the BEAST for me.

[@eoin1959]

As the owner of two Pajero Sports I totally agree. Considering the PS is getting the new 150kw engine with the 8 speed auto, I'm surprised the new Triton is still 6 speed. The Aisin AE80F auto used in the PS is the same 8 speed auto used in the V8 Landcruisers so it will take all a little old 150kw Triton can dish out!

[@corneferreira7691]

@@eoin1959 tried one( current range) that had the egr bypass that was off-road only even that makes it a different car.

[@DW-10]

Agreed. While the MR does run shorter diffs (4.272) than the PS (3.9?), once you calculate the final drive ratio is each gear, fist is lower in the PS and 8th is about the same as 6th in the MR. The 8 speed has 6 gears to the 1:1 ratio va the MRs 4. Just much smaller gaps between shifts. The MR (and new Triton) will have 800-1000 RPM gaps between gears. In the MR, shifting up from say 4th at 3000rpm dropped you to around 2200rpm. Upshifting at 2500 dropped you too low in the rev band if towing 2.5-3.0t. Hopefully the 470Nm band from 1500-2750 is better at coping with the gearing gaps. While only 40Nm more at peak, looking at various dyno graphs online, it is going to be around 80-100Nm more in the 1500-2000rpm band. Fingers crossed.

I am owner of the current gen of triton (MR). Love the front of the new triton looks tuff definite improvement there. Also like the fact that there is less overhang behind the rear wheels. I payed 48k for my gls in 2020 so a 12k increase in price is shocking. Gotta admit not a fan of the steering wheel, gauge cluster doesn't look as good as the mr imo, & the fact that the infotainment unit is not integrated looks like an after thought. Hope they fixed the vibration when towing & throttle lag issue as in my mr it was bad, although did notice it wasn't as noticeable after installing a snorkel to the vehicle

[@roguetrader08]

It's fairly clear that with the new twin sequential turbos, it has fixed that lag issue. Also the body and chassis changes, combined with the engine upgrade, will no doubt fix the towing issues. I think they've nailed it with this ute, not too many things I would fault.

[@johnvanderheide557]

I wouldn’t mind knowing how it goes towing a 2.5 tonne caravan. Currently have 2011 six 550 Navara and it tows with no issues with stability and power

[@DW-10]

I tow closer to 3t with the MR. With max towball loading I needed to upgrade the suspension to bring it up to a standard I was happy with chassis wise. The longer wheelbase will definitely help. Power wise, even towing in NZ with constant cornering and climbs it has sufficient power even if the gear spacing is a bit wide for the nature of the power/torque delivery. If the 470Nm from 1500-2750rpm claim is true, then it should have 70-100Nm more torque in the 1500-2000rpm band which will help. Given they stuck with the 6spd rather than put in the 8spd the PS had, I just hope they haven't chased a marketing dept desire o for a brochure only fuel consumption figure by putting in taller diff ratios. I'm also looking forward to a tow test. Would also love to see a back to back comparison, including dyno run, with the MR Triton.

[@bazradventures]

Looks like a massive improvement on the old model. Is there a standard rear diff lock? The snorkel sown on your test car, is it an actual snorkel (sealed unit) or just a raised air take? Thanks for the vid

He showed the rear diff lock button in the interior part of the video.

Why do you call it a bakkie, we are not in South Africa mate. We don't care about South Africans or effing calling utes bakkies. Its a Mitsubishi Triton ute, its not hard to understand.
