Had an MN previously and travelled 165000 in 3 years (work ute). Upgraded to the mq 4 months ago this vehicle has now done 20000 ks. No problems with it or the previous model. Dual cab 4wd. Tows anything with ease. Would highly recommend the Triton, worth a look at if your after a 4wd dual cab.

I have had this car for over 5 years never let me down bought,less than 3 years old still had over 2 years warranty left,servicing a bit dear with dealer till I used local mechanic,replaced tyres,auto could use another gear otherwise good car economy fair to good but only driving in traffic,second triton I have had bought previous model new 10 years before would have kept but wanted auto for work.

1st off there is a government website to check if you need to have the airbag replaced, input your vin number. Around 4 months after purchase the Diff failed, had it rectified fairly quickly havent had a problem since, I also had an issue where the drain plug from the power steering fell out losing the oil, this was an easy fix, the issue is well known the diesel consumption has been pretty good getting around 10lt/100km, I also had an issue where it was coming on dangerous in turbo lag, I had some hardware fix done when I put it in for a service. Its been good and reliable apart from the issues mentioned, now done 202,000km, I use the car every day and its serviced at the manufacturers intervals.

Mate look after it and will go 400000 plus klms Japanese design had 2 that did with regular service and care like any diesel warm it up clean air filter regularly and dont expect more than you paid for it i find it a very honest ute but will let YOU know when its done a bit

2012 mn triton auto duel cab.
Poor fuel economy. Slow acceleration which is rather scary trying to get out into traffic. Which eventually blew a head gasket at 190k resulting in a complete engine replacement. I should have done my research before buying this. I am not a fan of the triton

Hi I have a 2011 Triton I want to change the oil in rear diff.where do I get the special tool.looks bit like a L key & does it have a special name.Also how do I find out if my car has the Takata air bag.i tried going online and punching in my rego & state.but it just comes up with rego & state not recognised.i also sent an email but no reply.also sent email to Mitsubishi

Have had the car from new at 22000 clutch burnt out not covered under warranty had to pay another $3500 out gear box was piping out of third gear repackaged parts still broken new gear box number one replaced three months later gear box issue again new gear box number two six months later same issue new gear box number three five months later gear box four and now gear box five and I have a crack in the mainifold as well and told not to tow with it and it’s the time of the year where I need it the most going into Christmas car has only done 75000 km what a price of crap and Mitsubishi tell you lies and have had to go to a lawyer to get results more time and money lost do not buy a triton worst car I’ve ever had

There can be no denying the Triton’s sticker price jumps off the page and slaps you in the face. Our test vehicle was the premium grade Exceed purchased for 35K DEMO 700KMS out of the tank all the bells and whistles

Compare that with other top-shelf 4x4 dual cab utes like the Amarok Ultimate V6 ($68,490), HiLux Rugged X auto ($63,690), Ranger Wildtrak auto ($61,790), Colorado Z71 auto ($57,190) and Navara ST-X ($54,490). Obviously, many Aussies have done this and concluded that being able to buy a high quality Japanese ute with all the fruit for under $50K represents outstanding value for money.

hi
I have a 2016 tritan as a work ute. things were going ok, then at 45000 klms the diesel injector blocked, court fire and melted. 3.5 weeks in workshop then told it was good to go. I drove out of workshop did 132 klms the dpf and engine warning light came on, I had to drive back to workshop at 40 kays as that was max speed, I waited 2 day before they told me it may be a dpf problem and they may be able to claim it under warranty, but they cannot even think about ordering parts until they sort out if its a warranty job. Not to mention this part is not in Australia and will take a month to get here.
The workshop tell me nothing I have to ring to ask them, and the best part is they don't know.

4wd. Single cab... Purchase new dec 2015... The drum that holds your seat belts.. When retracted rattles very loud . was told by dealer.. Your on your own... When 4x4 stick broke the wire for the rear wheel sensor.. NO more 4wd..but rear wheels bind up if you drive it... I recommend you don't drive it until you you fix it..$400 plus to replace... 2.4 diesel big flat turbo lag..one more thing If your on your own. In the bush with a flat battery you can't clutch start it... Because you have to press in the clutch to start...WHAT WHERE YOU THINKING... 4WD IS A OF ROAD VEHICLE... MITSUBISHI...

My only vehicle so reliability is first priority,as a fair amount of my driving is on country roads where there is no mobile reception.I travel around 430 kilometres one way to visit family and friends on a regular basis,about every 6 to 7 weeks..Very comfortable,100% reliable,has just been serviced 3 year 45,000 kilometres.For a 2.4 motor it has good overtaking power.I have only done a small amount of off road but seems very capable.

Not very happy with this ute.
Air bag light keeps coming on, have taken it in 4 times in one year. Mitsubishi simply don't k ow what it is. So I'm literally driving a time bomb for all I know.
And apart from that the diesel is a total slug bug.

Not happy at all with this vehicle. Seats fallen apart, Stereo system and bluetooth turn robotic. Roof racks interfere with radio reception as aerial cant fully extend. Has flat spot on acceleration. Doesn't like to tow which defeats the purpose as its a commercial work horse. Paint is absolutely crappy! Low quality for the new price paid! Capped price servicing from Mitsubishi only goes up to 45,000kms! Do not bother. Its an absolute PIG! Was told it was a GLXplus- no such badge!

What an amazing vehicle I have just purchased, Looks amazing and drives well on road.
Great turning circle for such a large vehicle and loads of clearance with great view from front cabin.
Next stop .... Aussie Bush, will have to do another review once I get this beast out and about in the wild.

Bought a 2017 black sports edition triton last year brand new. What a mistake !!
Visually looked real nice when I bought it but it didn’t take long for me to notice how cheap everything is on the inside. Nothing feels durable and anything that looks flash scratches if you touch it !
The outside is just as bad. The panels are super thin and weak . Pretty much anything that rubs up against it scratches. Unlike other vechicles I’ve previously had, I have to be very gentle washing it incase I mark it some more !

DO NOT BUY THIS CRAP

Its a great handling car with a couple of things that need improvement on. Drivers side arm rest on both sides need to be in more reach of the steering wheel when resting. need more leg room for the driver as console to close to left leg, High beam light not bright enough, and my biggest cry is the head rests need to be able to tilt back and forth, and I was so used to my navara st the back seats to to flip up, cant do it in this car, there bolted down

It's a great vehicle all round so far, it does slip a little more when towing in 4x4, but I think this is due to too much torque going to rear wheels as opposed to 50:50 bias of the MN.

The biggest faults are the time it takes to engage low 4x4 due to no lever, and the way it just stalls out of the blue at times. The hill assist braking system doesn't help!
