Purchased a 2018 Triton Gls recently. Had a 2016 model that was written off in an accident.

Really liked my 2016 model so went straight back to this model. A good work horse car for my job for the price paid.

A couple of things I find annoying in this model is the reversing camera is poor compared to 2016 model. To change radio station like most car these days you use the arrow on steering wheel, not his model all touch screen.

Find it strange that a newer model car wouldn’t have this when older ones do. Basically have to take your eyes off...Read more

Bought new triton 2013 - 40,000 ks on the clock. Over heating with numerous breakdowns took us ages to get results finally we got a new motor. Fast forward to 2018 same problem with 2nd motor. Had to basically fight for assistance had fair trading involved they replaced with a short motor but could not tell us why we were having problems . Not confident with this as we has almost been killed several times as the car would only overheat on freeways after several hours and would loose power so travelling 110 km would drop down to 40 km stranded ...Read more

In 2017 the cost was NZ$47K with factory accessories i.e. front nudge, sports and tow bars, bonnet guard, deep floor mud mats, tub liner and soft tonneau cover. It has the 10 year warranty and is serviced every 15,000kms as per the service book.
I commute daily and travel approx. 28km per day. I have fitted an iDrive throttle controller which seems to supress the very dangerous turbo lag on take off from intersections.
The HID headlamps are a let down being a poor design.They wobble about going over bumps, great low beam with good cut off ...Read more

I use this car for mainly commuting to work (140km round trip), hasn't missed a beat and is quiet comfortable. I've done 45,000km's so far. I recently did a road trip towing a camper van weighing 1.6t, overall combined weight was 4.06t. I started from Geelong around the East coast to Woolongong, through the Blue Mountains and home. I covered 3000km's drove around some windy and mountainous roads. The Triton performed well and exceeded my expectations.
It does have a few annoyances such as Bluetooth phone volume not loud enough, the passenger...Read more

I have owned my Triton since March 2009. It has been reliable with fuel consumption consistently less than 9 L/100KM and having clocked over 160,000km. It has the 2.4 L Turbo Diesel engine with an alloy trayback and although the engine sounds small it has fantastic torque. I have taken this vehicle through Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory several times and never felt like the truck was going to let me down. The traction system is second to none and is, in my opinion, better than competitors. I also use it regularly to tow my 5 meter boa...Read more

First time owning a DC ute so some of these issues may be common to all. Be prepared for a harsh ride unless it's loaded – I understand the Triton to be the most 'car like', I would hate to spend a lot of time in the others.

As for the Triton, HID Headlights are woeful and shake over bumps – you'll need additional lighting. Passenger seat shakes when unoccupied and you have to tuck the seatbelt flat or it rattles horribly.
Tall passengers in the rear may be very close to the roof.
There is not much information available from the dash and to cy...Read more

This is our work vehicle. It does several hundred km/week.
It is the 2.5L Turbo Diesel RWD model with an auto gearbox. All of that combines to make it the WORST and most dangerous vehicle I've even been in.

At an intersection, this thing is absolutely gutless. Even with your foot flat it can take 4 or more seconds to get to anything more than walking pace. On an uphill incline, it can be twice that and then the turbo kicks in and all you get is wheel-spin due to having no weight at all in the back.
At an intersection in the wet, it can be down...Read more

It's all the little things that will get to you...

- Windows tend to have vertical scratches after a few months.
- Why did Mitsubishi deem it necessary to have so many high pitched alarms? It beeps when i turn it on and off and the seat belt warning doesn't let up before you are diagnosed with PTSD.
- Doors automatically lock and still operate every time even after this feature is "deactivated".
- Steering wheel buttons are 'seek' and won't track through radio presets, very lazy design.
- Sound system fluffs with a hint of base at f...Read more
