Is Triton A Better Ute Than We Thought? (Mitsubishi Triton 2023 Review)

We read the comments, and we care what you think.

Negative thinking dont know the track record about mitsubishi history that why many thaught thinking negative about mitsubishi cars ,peoples only judge the market value car the after market spareparts

Purchased a new Triton in 2021, 22,000km in and already requiring a new timing belt. Told it's not under warranty and will require $600 to replace. An item that should last up to 100,000km, lasting a fifth of its lifespans and not being covered under warranty on a new car is appalling. Service basically told me it's my problem and if I want it replaced I have to pay for it.

Put your test with the Ford ranger, Toyota Hilux, Nissan navara, Isuzu D-MAX Mazda BT 50, Volkswagen amarok, Chevrolet Colorado, Mercedes benz all participate in rally championship onroad and offroad Australia from east to western Australia endurance the winner is the best pickup the greatest champion,sure Mitsubishi Triton is the king champion ,all Utes pickup trucks cannot challenge the Mitsubishi in the highway gravel sand when comes on speeding and handling even the good Ford raptor also loose

They are cheap for a reason like the interior is basic and the ride is good on smooth roads but on rough roads the thing bounces around shockingly,but it’s reliable and if you get one cheap it’s OK, I just traded my 2022 GLS on a 2022 Ranger sport and the difference is just massive, everything about the ranger is much better, so if your going to buy a new $50k Triton just spend the extra $17k and get a ranger instead, you won’t regret it.

I love my mn triton take it every where never let me down in part of Australia in live in which is new England area nsw . I think this bloke must drive something else doesn't know what his talking about.

2014 triton is a work horse on offroad with heavy loads

Just bought myself a brand new 2023 GLX+…
Cannot wait to pick it up after the electric breaks and towbar is installed.

Honestly this truck looks way beautiful than hilux isuzu nissan

My cousin Irshwill have a 2006 Mitsubishi Colt my brother in law Graham dad has a 2003 Mitsubishi Colt a clubcab & a doublecab .

I recently bought a triton. But have driven a raptor quite a lot on suburban roads and found the raptor horrible. Slow and boaty and the interior is just full of cheap plastic with a some bad leather trim as well. You seem to hold the raptor as a far better ute than it is. That's not to mention it's known faults of blowing gearboxes and engines

Its a ute buddy why do you want it to be as soft as an suv? come on let's be objective this thing is comfortable enough for what it was meant and supposed to do..

Harden up. Nothing is wrong with an old school ute. Actually, my 2021 Triton Black Edition has a better ride than my wife's 2022 Outlander PHEV. It is also better than my older 2015 Holden Colorado. The 4X4 system is one of the best.

We've mostly moved away from the "covid tax" on cars, but I'm struggling to find the prices you've listed.

There's a joke among mechanics,

What's wrong with the triton...and the response is...What's wrong with the triton?

There's almost nothing wrong with the triton

and it doesn't go Bing Bing every time it thinks you need to be told your door is open your safety belt is not on like all the others built for idiots how many times you see the door light switch taped over so you can get things done without some stupid signal telling you what you should be doing

I have been getting 8l/100km towing.
My brakes have been fine even while towing, not sure if you know how to tow correctly but they have never been hot. Plus I used mine as a sweeper during WRC

I love my triton today, so fun and comfort to drive

Top cab mate

Bang for buck the Triton wins hands down! If you want all the new tech and gruntier engine options etc, you'll spend a shit load more than what a Triton costs! Lastly, very wordy review mate, I did almost give up listening several times while watching this review.

So sorry to hear that you need heated seats for lumbar support

whats your opinion of the Triton Xtreme (Mitsi Aus and Walkinshaw) thats due for June/July Release this year (2023) gets forged 18" x 8.5 ET 17 bf goodrich 265/60R18 K02s upgraded "premium suspension" eg upgraded 46mm monotube dampers with 20mm rod design with canisters and rear running a piggyback system chassis upgrade body control and ride comfort improvements increased handling dynamics?

Affordability and Practicality are last on the list of these YoUnG Reviewers.

Would like to see you test drive around a city (which is where most vehicles spend most of their lives!)

You should really consider how a company treats its customer! Ford is awful. Mitsubishi I trust.

My only complaints with my 2019 GLS is the off centre driving position & that the stock rear suspension gets unsettled easily on roads that are littered with potholes & poor repairs at 60kph+

The baby seat issue isn’t solely a Triton problem, it’s a dual cab problem in general.
The screen being “too small” & no digital speedo is nit-picking. It’s a 4WD Ute, not a sports or luxury car.

How is driving position or comfortability objective complaints? That varies person to person, sometimes wildly lmao what.

I got a 2015 triton it loves getting tossed around it looks like a rig so next time buy a triton 4x4 2015 I’ve got it up in two wheels before I almost flipped it

when is it coming to the USA?

Who really cares about a digital speedo?!
Of a dozen things I'd rather in a ute a digital speedo would be about 63...

20k cheaper, 4wd on a road, does the job as a 4x4 ute, this dude reviewing is a bit clueless

mishibishi triton is the best 4wd out there good price range really good towing the mishibishi triton really shames all the other 4wd

Have the UK top spec version of the Triton (L200 Barbarian X). For me the seats are the most comfortable of any car I have owned - super comfy on a 4 hour drive. As regards it being old school and behind the latest on safety, the ability to drive in 4H on tarmac roads is a significant safety feature for driving in bad weather or road conditions and is still unmatched by most competitors.

We have a Mr Triton done 120k kms can't fault it never let me down

100mm, 5cm on each side......🙄

You can't say the seats a very uncomfortable. You could say that they feel uncomfortable for YOU. I purchased a new GSR about 12 months ago and one of the reasons I chose it was that for ME, the seats in the Triton were vastly more comfortable than the other dual cabs on offer. You need to qualify your statements. Who needs a digital speedo? I have driven vehicles 20 years ago with digital speedos, I hated them then and still hate them. The old 'needle' is much more intuitive to glance at and read quickly. My Triton is much more comfortable to drive on or off-road than a current model Hilux. As far as a Ranger goes - do you really want to pay such a huge price premium over a Triton for a vehicle that has such a poor reliability reputation? Here is some homework for you - research how many Rangers have had their engines replaced over the last three - four years, compared with the Triton... The Triton has the best reliability reputation of most of the other dual cabs, with the possible exception of the D-Max. This is backed up by a Ten-Year warranty... I have owned 2 Hiluxes, one Nissan and three Tritons. The Tritons have given me the best run of any of them. The ability to engage four-wheel-drive, on the go, on bitumen, makes it a very sensible, safe and practical vehicle.

the last real mitsubishi pick up.

Bought a Triton GLX-R for $42k in Feb 2022. Awesome car with a 10 year warranty. Can’t go wrong. Why would you pay $60k for a base hilux. As for your review, who gives a f about a digital speedo……. Rubbish review

Stick to reviewing cars, the triton is excellent value for money. Very reliable. It’s not an mx5 and shouldn’t be reviewed as such.

No surprised here.. Mitsubishi lancer glx has had the same design in over 15yrs

Dunno if these guys have actually driven an old L200 or Hilux LN106 for them to say that the interior is too old-school. And hell naw I wouldn't even dare to think the new Ranger is the benchmark of interiors just because of all those unnecessary tech, maybe of being problematic then I'd agree as there are now a number of the new Ranger owners here in our country experiencing problems with that big multimedia screen. Physical buttons with a decent 8-10 inch landscape multimedia over that of the Ranger's. I'd say the BT-50 is the one better if we're to find a competitor of this with a more modern interior. Despite the cabin still being based on the D-Max, it is undeniable how it feels night and day kind of difference on how exquisite the BT-50 interior is. At the end of the day, the overall package of the Triton is much better for those who plan to keep their utes for many good years as you'll be assured of worry-free ownership due to its proven reliability & dependability together with outstanding off-road capabilities the Super Select 4WD has.

I've had my GSR for almost 12 months and 20k km. All said and done I'd buy it again. Much cheaper than rivals, very reliable, does what I expect from a duel cab. Comparing the triton to modern SUV was lost on me, I was never looking at buying an SUV, I was looking at DC utes. Coming from an older 2012 Hilux, the GSR is a nice ute to drive, easy to live with every day and haul the family. It's not perfect though, adaptive cruise would be nice, I wish the roof mounted air vents were proper aircon instead of a fan and that the windows were all auto up/down. Also would like the inside of the drivers door to be padded as I rest my arm there when driving, but these are rather small things. O and I ave around 9.0L per 100, so not sure how U got 11??! Cheers.

I really love Triton with the design and the affordable price but unlucky I had to get the Hilux Workmate 4x4 because I need a new car for work badly. Hilux and Ford are way too overprice

Ford ranger is a joke...

Bring it to America....Mitsubishi.....

When Reviewing this car, surely a long warranty has to be part of the equation, swaying Ute purchasers. Having the reassurance that anything faulty, especially when towing a caravan, can be replaced or fixed. I want a reliable, safe ute not not a car with all the bells and whistles. Stranded in the outback I want a “basic” easy to service platform. Isn’t that why Toyota has been no 1 in the outback? Utes these days are trying to be all things to all people, for some a simple ute is just what the dr ordered.

if i get a new ute ill buy the mitsu, thanks mate... lol
