This TRITON is TOUGH! • CUSTOMS #27

SUBSCRIBE for fresh 4WD content every day!
Luck - you’ve either got it or you haven’t. Those of us in the know, those of us who’ve been around 4WDs for a bit know that Tritons make for seriously capable, completely under-rated 4WDs. Beneath the modern design lines of Tritons like this one, lies Mitubishi’s rally-bred drivetrains, which very rarely go wrong in a big way. They’re reliable, they’re decently economical for what they are and there’s a surprising amount of aftermarket support for the Triple Diamond utes.
VEHICLE: 2008 Mitsubishi Triton dual-cab
ENGINE: 4M41 3.2l four-cylinder turbo-diesel
SUSPENSION: 3inch lift with mix of Triton and 60 Series parts
WHEELS AND TYRES: 285/75R16 BF-Goodrich T/A KO2s on KMC XD Series alloys
OTHER GOOD GEAR: ECU remapping - 3inch exhaust - 15mm tailshaft spacer to correction vibrations - extended brake lines - XROX steel bullbar - custom rocksliders - custom tub cage with rooftop tent - XROX bashplate - Bushskinz 4x4 sump guard - triple battery setup

3.2l triton are great, diff lock the front with the rear lsd it goes. Apart from the egr which happens to most Diesel engines it's a serious 4x4 for the dollar.

[@MsShaks123]

I have a 2012 Triton 3.2l L200 4x4, has a 3" lift kit, running MT 33s all round, Ive owned the Nissan and Hilux. But this Triton i enjoy the best of all, its a whole different league when it comes to heavy load hauling. My old faithful handles our harsh South African climates and the roughest of terrains with ease. Shes one tough engine, pushing on 478000km with regular service, and till date ive had no major/minor engine issues.

[@HENKULANUS]

[@user-dy9yb6fr1o]

[@callummalseed7908]

[@jarrendickinson5279]

Is that you Jocko?😂

[@aaronbozhang]

2.5 4D56 turbo Diesel engine has a common over heating issue due to manufacturing defect. Mitsubishi didn’t recall all the triton and check and replace the engine block with the issue. What they did is a campaign to “cover it up” and delay the showing of the problem. I bought a 2nd hand mn triton(10yr old). And unluckily after 4 month the engine start over heating. I have an old 2005 triton Ute with 4g64 engine. Bought it at 10 year old with 150k on the clock. Now it is about 320k and 17 years old. It never missed a beat and other than normal wear and tear the engine is so reliable and that is why I trusted Mitsubishi and bought the mn triton. But it seems to me, Mitsubishi was doing the same thing as what takata air bag did by covering up the issue instead of correcting them properly. So if you are thinking of buying a second hand triton with 4d56 engine, be careful.

[@sebastianvanderspuy6745]

What year models of the mn did this affect?? Im buying a 2012 mn triton that’s been taken care of really well. Should I be concerned?

[@aaronbozhang]

@@sebastianvanderspuy6745 my one turns out to be OK. It turn out to be the main negative not bolted on the car’s frame. There was a campaign regarding the engine block issue by Mitsubishi. If it is a bad one probably it has already been fixed up until now. But do give it a good check before you buy. Test drive the car for a decent amount of time and distance after the car reaches operating temp. Check the radiator cap see if it is 127kpa and ask the seller to see if he knows the issue and the history of the car. Also when you test drive the car use a ODB2 checker if you have one to check the cars operation and to see if there was any existing fault code.

[@aaronbozhang]

@@sebastianvanderspuy6745 have a look at engine bay if the battery is not the original one and it is very likely not the Mitsubishi genuine battery check if the negative cable is bolted onto the car frame correctly. My one was not because the new battery was higher which makes the cable too short and the guy who did the battery replacement job just too lazy to do it correctly by bolting it back to the car frame. And this will affect the car’s temperature gauge and make it seems to be overheating.

[@aaronbozhang]

@@sebastianvanderspuy6745 My one was a MN triton GLXR manual. And when I bought it the hand break indicator on the gauge is not working most of times. And I checked online with Mitsubishi Motor Australia limited and found there is a recall regarding some electrical connection issue. And I booked a service for that. After the recall service which is free, the hand break indicator works OK. So if you get the car’s chassis number/engine number, check with MMAL to see if there is any recall. If there is get the recall service (free) done.

[@aaronbozhang]

@@sebastianvanderspuy6745 Also there is a forum called newtrion I think. There are a lot of triton owners and a lot of useful information for all triton owners.

[@Johnny-ug5bk]

Anyone know where the headlights are from?

[@abdullahkarim4059]

Is it a manual?

[@ceysin7895]

0:57 leaf springs fucked up straight

[@thomnea89]

Hi mate, What is the price and the brand to your bulbar please ,? Cheers

[@lysergic726]

@Thomas Guilmin thats a XROX around 1299 AUD

[@08yellowbike]

Are there any differences from the 07 to 09 ml triton?

[@jarodbetts4415]

Nah

[@JT-su7fd]

Less recalls in the 09

[@TORTLESSS]

is the front diff as strong as the rear?

[@ramonedallas4200]

Not as big but definitely strong enough to handle some big power. They have double the meat on the crown wheel as compared to the 80 series or a solid axle hilux. 8" size, same as the 80.

[@knoleng8590]

31s fit without cutting anything

[@buritoa9x643]

Anyone know what his tub cage is and where you could buy one

[@Alan.livingston]

I’d look at an OzRoo tub rack.

[@Meme-baby]

I have a triton, only if it was 4x4

[@aidanoey2056]

that leaf pack is a load of crap.. its flat and should be in the shape of a smile. that constant load has done jack all for him

[@EABayuaji]

Im still confused, what should I buy triton or hilux?

[@COLIN-jh9xb]

EA Bayuaji hilux

[@Brawlerr88]

Don’t buy a rollux worst Ute for rolling

[@rajazabidah7959]

Triton more stabilizer

[@jaysom29]

Triton 3.2 are bulletproof hilux crack pistons your call

[@Apollo-th2xb]

Triton for sure, the amount you'd spend on a toyota you could replace any issues the triton has so you not only have new parts but then you could lift it and get a set of sweet rims and still be ahead

[@Apollo-th2xb]

all that work and hes a mechanic and hes put shackles on the god damn tow points, tsk tsk tsk

[@aravi2008]

У меня тоже Элька красотка

[@Ye-yz7cx]

How much money do you think this guy spend his triton on just modifications??

[@robertwilson1827]

He's a mechanic, accessories at cost, in the end.. financial loss, nearly '0'?

[@BryceBay]

I purchased a triton brand new 2 years ago it blew up a motor at 25000km piece of shit !

[@thatsgangsta2450]

jeepn how hard did you drive it?

[@ctrl-alt-awesome5189]

jeepn you must of tried to kill it Edit: l200's come standard with a 200,000 mile = 320,000km or 10 year what ever first guarantee (the 06-09 suffered from chassis snapping but mitsubishi would give you the factory price and every penny spent to it back to you ) so if your story was right you really wouldn't be moaning because you would have got 25,000km for free

[@jmlr5190]

HAHA learn to drive.

[@barrymcdonald9868]

rust

[@mikedubya9313]

At the end of the day its still a triton..... and they dont have the best reputation

[@Alan.livingston]

I've had a lightly modified MN GLXR for a few years now and you get what you pay for. Bang for buck they are great, but if I was going to spend mega bucks on tricking up a pony I would start with a different platform for sure. On the other hand it's nice to see something that isn't just another Toyota or Nissan.

[@Vax42]

I had a 07 glx-r, had huge egr problems even with only 40k on it, other little problems but all up wasn't too bad. My advice to anyone an older triton is block the egr asap. same goes for a lot of diesels.

[@mikedubya9313]

it is nice to see something different

[@Remiiix88]

No. Never modify the wiring with a resistor. If you want to block it, do it properly with a egr delete tune.

[@LetSeamru]

They are great I prefer Mitsubishi Over Toyota Specially mine is a 3.2l Turbo Great both onroad off-road

[@mikeykeyes]

What puts me off the offroading mob are these 1) if I have to spend $30000 extra on a vehicle that means we are saying the vehicle manufacturers should sell a chassis because all their money is spent on purely useless crap because a 4wd is nothing but a daily commuting vehicle - according to the offroaders a 4wd means nothing unless you decorate with myriads of hugely expensive after market stuff 2) anyone who can spend this sort of money is either without a family or a tradie/self employed where taxable income declared to the ATO shows negligible income and yet somehow the genie finds a hidden stash to spend at will on a vehicle that depreciates in value and must have to be sold 3) general bikie type lifestyle- beer fest and condoning alcohol - oh yes the most socially acceptable drug 4) those who really care about the environment and those who don't are roughly 50:50 - it's like a crocodile eats six months of the year who'll find out when it ate last. Thank goodness for a couple of words - when you can't stand any counter views in a democracy I can hear someone already yelling their fav phrasethat covers everything- FO!

[@trade1713]

Why are you so angry!? Let people enjoy what they like doing. I personally think this vehicle looks cool and is certainly capable off road which is big plus. I don't like them so much around parking lots where it obstruct the view when I try to get out with my car, but it is a pretty sight to see in the ocean of boring point A-B cars.

[@jules9094]

Goes to show you don’t understand 4wders at all I guess but you’re entitled to your opinion. Hopefully no one runs down your favourite past time like you seem to be willing to do. But I guess if it makes you feel better to run us down then keep going champ 👍

[@jarrendickinson5279]

Goes to show you dont know much about any topic you just ran your mouth about🤪

[@matthewwhite876]

Why are you yelling
