Mitsubishi Triton GLX+: Mitsubishi has produced a version of its Triton dual cab (and club cab) 4×4 ute that is aimed directly at tradies…. right down to vinyl floor mats.
They started with a low to mid-spec GLX and added extra stuff for only a little extra dosh to create GLX+.
It sells for $43,490 for the 6-speed auto dual cab tested, a premium of $2500 over the 6-speed manual.
Auto really should be a no cost option these days and Mitsubishi is not the only offender here.
The GLX+ scores a smattering of advanced driver assist technology but not the full raft available higher up the scale and if you want a locking rear diff’, that’s extra but at least it’s available.
GLX+ gets a more basic Easy Select 4×4 system with dual range offering 2WD High and 4WD High and Low range…. no tricky stuff just simple engineering.
Another addition to GLX+ is a roof mounted cabin air circulator to optimise climate control. Again, simple and effective.
You get the slightly larger 7.0-inch touch screen controller and smartphone streaming, side steps, rear bumper with step and 6 tie down hooks in the load tray.
Triton tows 3100kg, a touch shy of the 3500kg benchmark for the one tonner class.
It is substantially cheaper than similar vehicles from other manufacturers such as Toyota and Ford.
That’s because Mitsubishi has been able to leverage pretty much the same chassis for years in a number of Triton models.
Matters not a hoot because it still totes a tonne in the tray, goes pretty much anywhere off road and runs like clockwork.
You’ve gotta like that when you’re on the job and a tight budget.
In relation to the lack of much advanced driver assist stuff, I suspect many buyers wouldn’t really give a toss about not having blind spot warning, lane change assist and miss-acceleration mitigation. I wouldn’t.
