Purchased Triton used with 70,000k. Have had engine and turbo replaced under factory warranty. The Triton is now better than new, and gets around Land Cruiser country (outback NT) troublefree. Family has enjoyed a number of trips to outreaches of Kakadu, and has explored WA's Kimberley in depth, without concern.

A Noisy rather agricultural driving experience. Noisy leaf springs. I like the rear automatic opening window.
Engines are ok, as long as the overheating problem doesn't strike, due to poor build quality. Running costs are the bomb. You need to adjust tappets every 30,000ks. If you like spending heaps of money on running costs buy a Triton. Mitsu replaced faulty motor (2.5l) from overheating issue, it totally transformed the way the Triton performed. It now powered up the hills with ease. I appreciated what Mitsu fixed, however just wished it was like that from the start.

I purchased a new Triton GLX automatic 3 years ago. It is a wonderful vehicle: reliable, economical and very comfortable. We have made six trips from Queensland down to South Australia and have never experienced a single problem. We have had a couple of issues with a torn seat cover and noisy rear springs and the dealer has fixed them immediately. Great vehicle with a great warranty. I'd buy another Mitsubishi tomorrow. Their pricing is very competitive and their dealer support is excellent.

I bought this ute second hand about 6 years ago. Have used it for urban and highway driving and moving furniture and gardening rubbish from time to time. 130000km on the clock. I have lived on the coast 1km from beach for past 4 years. It's been a very reliable vehicle and I've never had a problem with it. Exterior most layer of Paint has just started to come off as a fine dust but admittedly it is outside 24 hours / day it's entire life (not under cover) and the last time I washed or waxed it was years ago. Would definitely recommend this vehicle for reliability.

Rust. The rust coming threw the paint is symmetrical on both side of the car. Top of rear doors, around rear window, around all screws inside all doors. After 6 months started noticing it. Went to Esperance mitsubishi and they said no warranty. Have to report paint defects with in first 3 months. They rekon its from me bush bashing. Really, around the back window and down between rrar cab and tub??? Been quoted nearly $3000 to fix. Shouldn't have to touch paint on a car that old.

What an annoying week standard breather is on the rear diff of a Triton.I extended my breather before my big trip & yes you can let your components cooldown before a river crossing BUT when you have a few hundred k's of road with fords every 1-2 k's its going to be a very long day. My Triton let water in thru the pinion shaft seal, warranty cancelled because I extended the breather on the rear diff...Funny how the Front diff has a breather up below the windscreen . WARNING fording depth of a TRITON is 50mm

This is second Triton that I have owned and really happy with both of them. Yes had really small issues with the current one but I do drive it hard and carries lots of weight . Nearly 100000 on the clock in 2.5 years. Way better then my old Mans navara. My brother in law has hilux, good car but he gets 500-550 out of tank while I Get around 700-750 km per tank of diesel. So some people do get bad ones, as with other brands but doesn't mean they are all bad. With warranty side of things, Mitsubishi has been good. All the things that needed fix up have been done. Only thing that has annoyed me a bit was squeaky suspension but put a lift kit on it and problem solved.would buy again

I purchased my triton in 2013, and havent had any problem with it al all, I have taken it from Melb to Ipswich, and it never missed a beat, and for the past 9 months I have been using it as a tow vehicle for my small caravan (Avan) and it has handled the task very well, Im very happy with it.

November 13th 2017 Update: Fantastic truck

I purchased my triton new in 2013, and it has been faultless, its a fantastic truck, has never let me down, and Ive used it to carry some heavy loads and it does a great job, I love it, I would recommend it to anyone who is considering buying a ute, you wont be sorry

6 months into owning my first new car, I got the new Triton with extras all for 15k cheaper than the current competition. I understand the newer models and brands have a lot more tech but as for as bang for buck this ute is great! It is happy for short drives, long drives 4x4 through deep sand. Great fuel eco (750kms a tank).
I wish it has a little more power but it's still got a decent amount of it.
It's very comfy to drive daily and would recommend one to my friends.
Anyway to issues yet and I am happy to have bought it.

Traded my Great Wall cab chassis on a new 2014 4x4 Triton Manual dual cab & have just clocked up 10,000 km.
Purchased the Std model with alloys & sidesteps. Got it at a great price from Heartland Mitsubishi as they where clearing to make way for the latest model.
Love nearly everything about this car. Plenty of power, 8.5 litre per 100km, comfortable, options are adequate for me & turbo lag minimal (compared to the Great Wall which was just dangerous)
Its handles a bit like a wet sponge but as I'm no boy racer, doesn't really bother me.
Should have just got one of these in the first place!

Added 5/5/2016
Just clocked up 26,000 km and still no problems.

Just clocked up trouble free 65,000 km

My 2014 MN GLXR has been fantastic so far. After reviewing the prices and specifications of some the big name brand Utes (Hilux, Colorado, Ranger) I couldn't go past the value for money on the MN Triton GLXR. It gave me everything i was after for considerably less money and in my opinion i didn't have to sacrifice quality or performance. I have had the Ute 25000km now and i have had no major issues. I had the gear knob replaced under warranty as the leather began to peel however Mitsubishi replaced the knob without question so no complaints there.

I would recommend the Ute to others!

After two year driving, I just realize heat from both side of gear box after few km's driving.

Ask for help from local Mitsubishi dealer which is nothing can be found, as head office people advise I have to contact service manager in local Mitsubishi which I did in this morning.

However he said this issue due to triton design exhaust system and gear box close so make side hot which I totally not acceptable. This is not right must be do the further investigation.

I have to contact head office again to find solution.Still wait for respond
