Hope this isn't too long winded but want it to be helpful. Work in the industry and know my way around most makes and models, below is my best non bias opinion.

Brought my triton dual cab glx plus pack new in Jan 2014, just sold in Jan 2018 after 106000kms of happy and reliable motoring. Never had a issue since new, replaced battery 2015 and front pads and machine in 2017. Servicing can be expensive at the dealer averaging about $500. Fuel consumption average 9.2l per 100kms and is very consistent. Motor has heaps of grunt, is quiet and refi...Read more

Owned a 2010 MN and traded it in on a 2015 MN. From day one, the 2015 MN was 'wrong' with a weird surge while using cruise control. I reported it at the 1500km 'free service'. Last year, yes, late 2017 a 'software patch' was installed to fix the problem, but, in the meantime it started to surge going uphill, both when using cruise control and manual acceleration.

I have just noticed it blows a heap of black smoke as it surges going up hill.

I've just called the dealer, Von Bibra and have been told THEY are waiting to hear about from Mitsu...Read more

I bought my GLXR MN Triton in 2010, initially I had surging problems with it that concerned me - but Mitsubishi attended to them ( over a period of 6 mths) under warranty. During the past 7 years I've travelled 150,00kms over some of the harshest conditions Australia has (the photo was in the Simpson Desert) - without any trouble. Like a lot of 4WD owners I've added lots of extras ( upgrades) to assist in my travels. Suspension - bar work - tyres - ECP remapping - exhaust - dual battery etc., but a couple of essentials you should also conside...Read more

Was told at sale that my services would cost a set price of $200 each. This only happened on my first service. Didn't honer the deal. Then I had it serviced by a reputable mechanic. Then after a few month black smoke blowing out of the exhaust rang the dealer told to bring it in. Checked it out then looked at the book and said that I've voided warranty because went to a mechanic. Told me nothing they can do unless I wanted to pay big bucks for repairs.Took it back to the mechanic he was not impressed as he uses only the best parts ect.Now 3 yea...Read more

Purchased Aug 2013. The vehicle is a manual diesel model - purchased as a towing rig for a 17 foot caravan.
Comfort is basic and the seats can become quite uncomfortable even on short runs. My wife has purchased a cushion to make the seat comfortable.
Foot/leg room on the driver side is a little cramped for a tall person. Your leg hits the centre console and the raised left hand side of the floor doesnt give good foot room.
The rear seats are bottom numbing and I would dislike being a passenger in the back seat on a long journey.

I bought the ute for dual purpose. I needed to carry larger items, collect firewood etc plus take the family around and this fit the bill, . The price is almost $20k lower than many other brands on the market and more expensive than something like the great wall but made my decision not just on this, but discussed with a few mechanics and panel beaters I know on issues they have come across with all utes. Triton was my compromise. I have heard a few have had mechanical issues but mine has been fine so far at 60000km. It has the well known turbo...Read more

I loved this car when I bought it in April 2014. Yes, has turbo lag, but have gotten used to that and the vehicle works for me as a farm car, towing vehicle and I love the fuel efficiency. All has been great - until now. Currently it is in at the shop getting the engine replaced - I think. They don't seem to want to give me too much detail - but I am a dumb female after all - or they just don't give a *****. Not sure which. Anyway - it boiled while I was 5 hours away from home. Took it to my mechanic - not the dealer (as they were solid booked ...Read more

Driving experience: 7/10. Sluggish and significant turbo lag. Handling and noise levels ok, Brakes on the auto need machining often as they tend to warp for some reason.
Liked the interior all around. More comfortable seats in the front would be nice though. Ample legroom in rear.
Reliability, well it was good until the engine seized. Running costs are relatively bad for a 2.5 TD. 14L/100 generally.

Motor seized @ 117000 out of warranty by around 7-8 months or so. Has had all scheduled servicing until I brought it in for the 90000 service ...Read more

When i got this ute i was"nt too happy with it too long,underpowered,to bumpy and light on the steering,but after doing a few mods to it, 2"lift 265x75x16 ko2s,and8"steels,3"exhaust,catchcan,snorkle,wow,goes pretty good,fast on take off leaves others standing,goes great in the bush and straight up sandhills,not noisy,and i put a tjm roobar on,the little extra weight over the front wheels gave it just enough to make the steering nice,inside is very roomy especially in the back seat, could be a bit bigger in the console ah,but itl do, and i thoug...Read more
