Does the new Ford Ranger challenger measure up? (Mitsubishi Triton GLS 2024 Review)

[@bakoorvos]

It is mind boggling to me how much time is wasted by auto media journalists on useless repetitive info about interior ergonomics like scratchy plastics, bottle holders when the real deal is the driving capability / off road capability etc.

[@kentfrederickireland]

I'm happy if they still go through the interior quality.

[@chasingcars]

That’s….. why we do both.

[@je2338]

I was about to say the same thing. "It's a good thing the vents still have a physical knob". How many don't? One or two German cars?

[@steanodeeks9875]

Owner with 15k kms driven on an MV here. They are bloody good things. Not perfect, but very, very nice machines. Go drive one yourself. If you listen to the flawed opinions of people who don't understand what they're reviewing, you'll invariably make the wrong buying decision.

[@astroanthobbies3801]

Absolutely agreed I got a GSR and I tested everything including ford ranger. Mitsubishi won it for me, great car.

[@JamesyMusial14]

Yeah I have a MR and test drove the MV a few days ago and i thought it was super smooth and a huge improvement but yet this guys dribbling on about it being firm and a rough ride 😂😂 you just simply can’t have a Ute that tows 3.5 tone and drives like a Mazda 6 😂🤦🏽‍♂️ the standards and expectations of some of these car journos are becoming unrealistic

[@julianmelan85]

I finally got mine in Malaysia. I'm completely blown away. Did 1500km in 2 days. I've driven other competitor brands Toyota, Ford, Isuzu but never drove the new Triton because it was only launched in Malaysia a few weeks ago. Nonetheless, i purchased mine and when I got it. I'm absolutely glad i went with my choice.

[@LEVIAHAN]

Is it really a "Stiff" ride?

[@rod9137]

Just bought one of these after driving the new hilux and dmax. Watched heaps of reviews and like this one it's frustrating to see journalists bitching about the uteness of utes.......and there's always the obligatory comparison to ranger and amarok which have historically and well documented terrible reliability.

[@Mochabear85]

Glad you did what I did and ignored them. I mean I bought my MV GSR at launch, so really there were only the overseas reviews to go by, but owning one now and watching the many reviews that come out, it's entertaining to say the least. It's a case of IYKYK.

[@jasonmach339]

I am with old mate I did the same bought the MV GSR done 9k in know hasn't missed a beat cheers

[@JamesyMusial14]

Someone had to say it 😂 some of these journos need to stick to reviewing hatch backs I think 😂 I test drove the new MV on the weekend and things like having stiff suspension or being a bumpy ride definitely never crossed my mind 😂 buy a 70k sr5 Hilux if you want that

[@JamesyMusial14]

Also my friend works at Volkswagen, he admitted the old amaroks were never the most reliable Ute anyway but this new Ranger platform Amaroks a whole lot worse already 😬

[@WildTreksAustralia]

We have an 2017 Outlander as the family car, a very nice driving and most importantly a reliable car. This week i both my first new car, a GLS Trition and loving it. It feels better on the road than the Outlander..it has 10 years warranty. No car is perfect, but the Triton is a bloody good ute.

[@Thebuilder-v7q]

I got mine 4 months ago and it’s definitely a great ride, I have had 6 tritons they keep getting better and better, the new one drives much better than the previous version

[@curlzbean]

Drove a glx+ today and ride quality was good, bit of wind noise from the mirrors and felt smaller to drive than its actual size

[@RobertFlynn-i4h]

Ive watched many KZbin reviews regarding triton, this is the first one that has said the ride is hard and the transmission jumpy in 15:21 changing

[@JamesyMusial14]

I drove my MR GLS down to Mitsubishi to test out this new MV Triton and I was super impressed and surprised at how improved this new MV is. Little surprised to hear you bashing the allegedly stiff suspension and unrefined engine because i definitely didn’t experience that. Its leapfrogged the Hilux by a mile that’s for sure and it’s still considerably cheaper too

[@dointheokecoke5548]

[@IsaacMuntz]

[@Mochabear85]

Lol firm ride (as you mentioned a ton of times) is certainly not the case. I have one in GSR trim (same suspension), and drive it daily. It's better to drive than the PX3 Ranger I had before it and not a single one of my kids I take to school complain of motion sickness, or that it's uncomfortable. To be honest one of the oldest commented out of the blue that it was really comfy. Similar comments from adults that actually understand cars, how nice the suspension felt as a passenger. Does it jitter? Yes, when there's nothing in the back, like every, single, ute on the market when unladen. As much as I prefer a Ranger, these MV Tritons are better than you have articulated in this video....

[@richardtimms6645]

Prefer a Ranger right up untill they blow up. And with half the warranty of the Triton is a big no on a shitbox ford

[@JamesyMusial14]

100%, i thought my MR triton drove nice but this new MV is even better. Super smooth, not sure what this guys on about

[@mazdamedia5995]

Guy is a fool, that harsh sounding motor and rough shifting transmission is what you need for reliability, and the reliability has been proven with the Triton. The quest for smoothness and being silent will cost you in the future, as a young soy boy you wouldn’t understand that. As for cheap finishings , analog gauges, rear drums, and old school handbrake etc, that’s how Mitsubishi keeps them affordable.

[@M.j.S388]

Picked up GLX + $43 k lot of value , demo with 40klm refined feel rides nice great tech for the price and tested 2.4 engine. Had a MQ.

[@ra_redesignautomobiles]

Waiting for pajero sport version

[@toddavis8151]

I have the GLS which came with the updated software and I don’t have a problem with it. I pretty much have to be trying to trip it. The only thing I constantly disable is the auto stop and go as it adds too much delay to taking off. Other than that, it’s a beautiful car to drive and I never notice those other things you mentioned

[@warcrabcyber9908]

Soft touch materials are nice, but how much soft touch do you really need in a vehicle? This is a ute not a Rolls-Royce. Most tritons will be used as part work machine , its not even a good idea to have leather and sponge everywhere. There is soft touch on the dash and doors where necessary, a ute is also not a good choice of vehicle for family comfort , you are better off with a ford everest , pajero sport , toyota land cruiser. Or even a corolla has better ride comfort than most utes. The ranger and amarok are also extremely unreliable, luxurious yes , some people had to change the transfer case in a v6 ranger after 4 months of driving.

[@mumgames7337]

The ford STRANGER. You never see them they’re always back at the dealership for warranty

[@elishaemanuel8512]

Mitsubishi very very very perfect performance stability handling and comfortable driving comparison ,10 years warranty 200,000 km above longest guarantee on the market,Mitsubishi also awards the best diesel engine MIVEC of the years.

[@alexjohnson3696]

I’m trying to make up my mind about which Ute to buy and have driven them all literally. You must have driven a different car to me as I found the triton to be really quiet and refined. The ride was also lovely - way better than the dmax and Hilux were horrendous. Still undecided though.

[@JamesyMusial14]

100%, I’ve also been test driving a few of the Utes lately and I can’t relate to most of this guys comments, i thought it drove great

Ford Ranger: wet belt and erratic 10 speed automatic transmission Mitsubishi Triton: Proven Reliability There is no comparisson at all

[@reeltomeal]

It used to be a budget priced valued ute! I do like the extended wheelbase and the interior update looks good but the front end...😢 Having the MQ i was hoping for a good report on the engine but a few KW and TORQUE more isnt enough for the price increase. Towing is still jiggly going by several reports as well.

[@rotoehu9266]

8.6 seconds to 100? If true that is quicker than a 2L biturbo Ranger and the new Hilux mild hybrid 2.8L, both of which have more torque and more gears.

[@jhonnylibrea7560]

Bias review

[@supfpv]

its lighter than those others and has a 2.4ltr engine over fords 2ltr. of course its quicker

[@ServoSambo]

All the Utes are waaay too expensive for what they are. Probably appeal to the young male bogan but tradies are looking at these things and shaking their heads in disbelief at their cost. Yet another example of how Japanese, Korean and European car makers have lost the plot since COVID.

[@tsakitx8190]

Yeap that's why the Chinese utes are on the rise an I'm not mad at all wish theyd come to my country aswell

[@RobertFlynn-i4h]

Totally agree, too large, they seem to be a pose vehicle. I have 2007 triton, 300k on it, I'm looking every where for a new ute, they are way too big, and to many tech things to distract your attention. We all have no choice, manufacturers are forcing stuff we don't need. My extensive search still takes me back to the triton, due to the past experiences with the dealer and Mitsubishi being exceptional from 2007 purchase

I’m not sure if they ever will because they’d affect the sales of American made trucks which is fair enough. Be grateful that your country still manufactures vehicles because unfortunately here in Australia we no longer manufacture any car at all, since 2017 every brand new car has been imported here.
