How is your new L200 so far Barry? Ive had 3 of the older models as well as Nissan Patrols and Landcruisers and Hilux, L200 has been the best of the lot off road and for toughness

At last a proper review, Excellent review so I have subscribed to your channel, been looking at the L200 series for a while now, this has cleared any questions i had about buying one in the near future.

Great review. For a few months the Triton (L200) has been the 3rd top selling car in Australia. Utes now day rule the sales charts. A great car. Love Mitsubishi. P.S. Nissan don't actually get in the top 10. But the Toyota, Ford and VW do.

It's very good (and rare to see) point to compare between different trim levels. Great thing indeed. Reliability is very important to add here... unlike many other vehicles, with pickups/utes/bakkies its very important to know about their reliability.

[@peter112999]

Interesting review. Here in Australia Mitsubishi stopped calling it a L200 back in the early 90s, they call them Triton now, with the model being from MH to the current MR. We still have the 2.4 Lt motor but no Adblue option. I had a 1987 L200 but now have a Triton 2009 ML in 3.2 turbo diesel and a Triton 2016 MQ in 2.4 turbo diesel on the farm. The older 3.2 motor has better low down torque than the new ones. Love my Tritons for hard farm work in a dusty country 👍

[@vanaramauk]

Tom here: Glad you found the review interesting - having all 3 trim levels makes a world of difference for comparing & contrasting them. Hard work in all types of terrains is what the L200s or Tritons were made for. Their platform is tough, engines resilient & they still pack a load of comfort in the cabin. I'm a big fan of these trucks... check out the video of the time we took one to an indoor snow slope: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnrUhZ55ot1nqLM

Hi, Rob. On which of these models you can recline front seats flat as we can do this on Shoguns when headrests removed? Or pickups are not designed for this option?

Great review. Just wish you guys included at least 1 stickshift model for those who prefer that transmission type.

[@olivermaskell6244]

I've found the 3.5 ton rating interesting. Is that with all 3 axles braked or simply a 3 axle trailer with at least one braked? Also, do all models/varainfs have diff locks or is that simply on the higher trims?

[@vanaramauk]

Tom here: The super select 4WD option is available on the L200 Warrior, Challenger and Barbarian models (1 in the video was a warrior and we have 2 Barbarian models - standard and X). The manual states using a "three-axle braked trailer" which is ambiguous... let me ask Mitsubishi for you.

[@olivermaskell6244]

@@vanaramauk Sweet :) Over here in New Zealand we have the GLX, GLX - R and VRX (vrx being Equivalent to your Warrior X) Only the VRX here has super select 4wd with the Center diff. I believe the other 2 models still have a rear diff lock in both auto and manuals but it's hard to find info on it. I had thought that overseas models would be essentially the same but maybe I was wrong.

[@robfox6230]

I bought a Barbarian x 4 months ago and not impressed with the overall performance. I find it to be lagging on the engine and the automatic transmission is unresponsive if compared to the ford Ranger I had before. In my personal experience with this truck it seems to have been over-engineered especially on the passive security side, with a range of "safety" features that cannot be excluded even when clearly not needed or even dangerous. also I found the whole security system being inconsistent at its best and completely random at time and the same is for the automatic engine shutdown when the truck stops. I had several trucks but I don't think I will finish the 3 years lease with this one

I don't think 60 in 13.5 secs is acceptable on a 2021 truck, s5 had 180hp and over 3 secs quicker off the mark.. Surely that should have been a starting point.

[@vanaramauk]

Tom here: Fair point. The transition to Euro 6 engines hasn't been easy for every truck. The economics of the engine is improved by sacrificing a slice of performance. Always a toss-up.

[@bmwdaywhatyouwant7679]

Great video! I've been in one of these new L200 at a Mitsubishi dealer and to be brutally honest... I was unimpressed. The plastic was wobbly and just about everywhere in the interior. The interior and exterior design has got some identity issues, the seem generic. My Navara boasts strong character compared to the L200, the interior of my Navara feels and looks better quality than the L200. Sorry for pessimism here but Mitsubishi has fallen down in Belgium, there was a time they rocked the roads with the Shogun/pajero, L200 and the Lancer, but times changed...

[@vanaramauk]

Tom here: Personally, I think the series 6 L200 is far better and less cobbled together than the series 5. It feels more purpose-built than previous generations. Equally, the newest Navara trucks are a cut above previous generations. Either one is a good choice in my book.

[@bmwdaywhatyouwant7679]

@@vanaramauk By all means yeah! We can agree the previous generation Navara (D40) was a big hassle, I heard a lot of horror stories about reliability issues and chassis snapping in half due to rust! It very pleasant to see Nissan has gotten their acts together with the D23 Navara (the one I drive). The Mitsubishi L200 has been credited for being great value for money by Aussie car reviews. But I would buy an L200 over a Hilux because I don't want to follow the heard of sheep that cling to Hiluxes, Amaroks, and Rangers.

Inside the vehicle Barbarian X top spec no proper sat nav seats smaller than S5 no tray in cubby box suede seat inserts cheaper seats in S5 not as good which were not as good as the S4 so these will be worse, for durabi;lity tinny noises from rear tub on S6. Claimed 3.5 Ton towing capacity only on tri axle trailer so really 3.1 ton capacity none of the competitors state this. OOH but it does have Barbarian lighting up in blue on side entry plates beter quality carpets and a tread plate for your left foot would be better so the carpet isnt worn through in 2 years 45K miles would be better sorry but Mitsubishi have lost it, oh and I think it looks like a Wharthog Ugly Ugly Ugly.
