[@bluezoidberg7124]

Fantastic review. Easily one of the best I've seen, more of that please. I like that the video is as long as it needs to be to cover everything that needs to be covered...not just 10 mins because that's what its assumed people want. Good to know about the negatives too

[@cardude1992]

Best 4×4 drive system in the world. Mitsubishi is the best.

[@chady7009]

As someone from north america, I find this fascinating. Honestly miss having Mitsubishi developing relevant cars for the north American market.

[@marcusdumitru]

Such a professional review! And such an impressive new Triton! I really didn't expect Mitsubishi to improve this vehicle so much. Now it is quite appealing.

[@Thelushable]

Very informative review. Thanks!

[@chasingcars]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ronaldov09]

Nearly 70K on road for a Triton! Car prices are just ridiculous.

[@user-gk1nt6sm2z]

Good review

[@TheAUSSIECLINT]

Best review I've ever seen on a new dual cab. Well done 👍

[@chasingcars]

Thanks 👍

[@Excalabur50]

Thanks for your thorough review, two things that I noticed that I don't like is the old key shape still being there when it's a push button start, also why do they persist on the off centered reversing camera? Other than that if they fix some of the issues you presented this could be one of the better utes to buy.

[@ford64fairlane]

love to see the real fuel test i have own tritons since MN series to MR never got good fuel economy true road test around 12 L per 100km

[@bens5186]

My MR is about around 8.2 … I think you may have a bit of lead in your foot?

[@Hey_yow123]

Idk why they ranked mitsubishi last when they conducted the megatest. Here in the philippines, mitsubishi is one of the leading car brands. Triton may not have the best in specs but when it comes to performance, it always outrun the toyota hilux and ford ranger. Thats legit. Mitsubushi is also reliable. Speed wise, there is no doubt its hella fast than hilux and ford. Power wise, it may have have a lesser hp and torque but it ia better than hilux and ford tho. Mitsubishi set a exceptional standard.

[@drive-channel1834]

Of course people tend to have some bias, that happens everywhere, We have to take any review "with a grain of salt", sometimes with shipload of salt 😁😅😬

[@NANKEL1]

How does it compare to the Ford twin turbo?

[@Naessey]

I have friend who is mechanic, and said seen drastic increase of cars where same engine carried over with new single or twin turbos. He told me too many cars have been updated with turbos, when they need bigger engines. I asked him if he was an issue, and said no, because making fortune. Finding people in remote areas without turbos available, enables him to charge whatever he wants - even if under warranty.

"Engineer joked it would be easy to strap a second turbo to the engine" Doh that's EXACTLY what they did ! You made me laugh that it's a new engine. Keep up the good work ;)

[@jamesm6341]

Rear drum brakes perfect in a Ute in my view

[@ShockWaveGamings234fg321f]

12:58 you can already see missing paint and a new bolt that isn't factory 😂

[@N.Matthews.]

Where did you film this?

[@Moshikokotashima]

plate says south Australia so my guess is Adelaide hills?

[@mikegeralddelacruz466]

I was thinking about buying a triton but nahh it change my mind

The lower specs as a workhorse makes sense

[@CarlosOteroC]

Any word on when the Pajero Sport is coming??

[@tomo55554]

2025 is the best guess

[@davesummerville2489]

Pretty sure I’ll be buying GLS. At 68, the 10yr fixed price servicing and warranty is very attractive. Just about see me out. Well priced imo. 😉

[@thelegendaryjanitor2008]

They has 1 Secret unannounced 7 seat SUV ( They talk about Pajero alot last year ) before Pajero Sport on Line up this year . I think they will likely got announced later this year

[@yourgearyourway4094]

It looks like it has a flux capacitor under the bonnet!

[@mleolv426]

Is electronic lumbar an important thing? And if so why?

[@wyc4934]

So you don't end up in a wheel chair from sitting in a non ergonomic chair destroying your spine

[@mleolv426]

@@wyc4934 manual lumbar support👍. Electric windows I understand as they are used all the time. It’s convenient. Lumbar support not generally something you are adjusting all the time.

[@user-gk1nt6sm2z]

I have 2 pajeros, very happy. I don't want the autonomous driver check system. Deal breaker.

[@ProductofNZ]

The GSR is almost $10k cheaper in Japan and they won't sell nearly as many as they will in Aus. Does shipping cost that much these days?

[@traviswruck3637]

No aus get shafted constantly with pricing

[@acde9355]

Almost every Japanese car sold in Australia is about 7-20k more expensive than it's in Japan (if available). German manufacturers do the same. The reason is simple, Australians are wealthier and willing to pay more. In the past 4 years, Toyota and some major have significantly increased the price of all models but have little or no impact on the sales.

[@smdnsnnd7254]

The cars probably made in Thailand so shipping should be negligible

[@nickseaton6920]

In Nz the top of range VRX is under 60k kiwi +orc, seems alot cheaper when you compare exchange rate.😉

[@danewass18]

Most of it is stamp duty and on road costs. Blame the money hungry government

[@bens5186]

As one of many that drive with one hand at 12o’clock (look at oncoming vehicles on the highway) the driver monitoring system being there AND unable to be permanently disabled will shit me so much I will not consider this as a replacement to my MR Triton

[@billsingh75]

Yehhh nooooo yeh I get it. Not exactly what I was expecting from Mitsubishi

[@smdnsnnd7254]

Does it still have dpf if it has adblue?

[@braedanmcnicol8017]

No

[@word1901]

yes everything with adblue/SCR has a DPF as the SCR system only breaks down oxides of nitrogen and is placed after the DPF good thing about adblue/SCR is it reduces EGR use by at least 80% so much less likely to carbon up the intakes with soot

[@steveallen1340]

Yes but hopefully the DPF does not need to burn off as often because the engine can run leaner and have the adblue deal with the extra oxides of nitrogen.

[@AlsAllAussieAdventures]

Best ute out there. Love it!

For me mitsu still no.1 😂😊

That cabin looks like it'd be a dream to clean in red dust country.... not!😆

[@kingwillbisthebest]

You would think utes/trucks would be the first category of vehicle to implement 4 wheel disc brakes. It's utterly disgraceful that these companies would look to save costs on necessary safety equipment. It's as bad as VW not having airbags in the rear of the old model which has now thankfully changed. The other area they save money that really pïßses me off is no reach control on the steering wheel and seats with no lumbar support! FFS it's 2024. These elements have been used in cars since the 90's!

Wireless CarPlay\AA is overrated. The phone tends to lose more battery than the power you're getting via the Qi charger.

[@xhiping5190]

front part not attractive

[@ElisPalace]

I'd never buy a car with ad blue. If this thing has ad blue it will cause nothing but drama in a couple years

[@Naessey]

Came across the guy the other day with a V8 patrol running on 91 and his kms per 100 was only slightly off a Toyota Ute. When you take into account ad blue and servicing, he is only 5% more expensive, but has a V8.

[@oqhr]

I smell NISSAN quality

[@Bamwich]

sad to say, i think they've missed the mark with this one.

[@juslookinatyas]

Driver monitoring system 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮 are they trying to see how few they can sell? What a bloody joke. As if anyone is going pay for that crap.

[@Mochabear85]

Got nothing to do with Mitsubishi thinking people want it or it being a necessary feature and everything to do with getting a 5 star ANCAP rating. It can be turned off, they know people aren't really going to be fussed about it. And I doubt it will hinder sales

[@tonysambar]

EVERY new vehicle has to have it.

[@juslookinatyas]

@@Mochabear85the review didn’t mention it could be turned off

[@Mochabear85]

@@juslookinatyas no it didn't. However others have and from my first hand account of the ute, it definitely can be.

[@trueblue862]

Doesn't understand why people would not be keen to own a 2.4l twin turbo which is highly strung from factory, but considers himself qualified to talk about the benefits of the car.

[@elishaemanuel8512]

If mitsubishi is not perfect technology modern design features ultimate driving performance why no European car and american car or Toyota Nissan Isuzu cannot defeated mitsubishi title awarded as the world champion Guinness book of world records in rally Dakar championship or AXCR cross country Rally Thailand to cambodia,2.4 liters Mitsubishi MIVEC is the best diesel engine of the years why this awards goes to mitsubishi why not Ford or Toyota ?
