Mitsubishi Triton

2025 GLS Triton. Purchase Sept 2025. In 4 months have done 10,000kms with an average of 7.7 litres per 100kms. This includes having the car lifted 2 inches and larger AT tyres. 4,000kms of this was Cape York with tough tracks etc. Came home with no rattles or issues that required fixing. Minor dust through the rear doors. The comfort is on par/ nearly on par with my previous Ranger, fuel economy is way better for the set up. Happy to date. Show details ·  1

Overall, I think the MV Triton is an excellent update compared to the MR (which I’ve owned and loved). It’s a big step forward in a lot of areas, and I’ve driven several MV models already, as my partner worked for Mitsubishi when they launched. That said, I do wish Mitsubishi would take the next step with their vehicles and update a few things.… Read more

This is purely my personal opinion, and I understand others may disagree.

Firstly, the Driver Monitoring System (DMS). I’m not entirely sure why Mitsubishi chose to be the first major brand in Australia to introduce DMS when it isn’t even mandatory yet. I know a lot of people who would have seriously considered buying an MV Triton if it didn’t have this system. While safety is important, the DMS feels intrusive to many drivers and has unfortunately become a deal-breaker for some potential buyers.

Secondly, particularly with the GSR, I feel it misses out on a few finer luxury features — especially ones that would be relatively inexpensive for the manufacturer to include. Things like an electric passenger seat, a potential head-up display, and wireless Android Auto. The lack of wireless Android Auto, in particular, is confusing to me, as it risks losing buyers who care about that functionality and may choose another vehicle because of it.

I do plan on selling my MR, and purchasing a MV mid next year, and i hope atleast a few things can change with the car.

It’s the small details like these that can really help a vehicle stand out in such a competitive market.

Bought new in Oct 23. $45,200 with factory tow bar. Space cab, tub body , auto. Has 51 000km atm of review. Owned 4wds all my driving life of 40 years. Cruisers, hilux's and Patrols >(the most reliable vehicles of the lot). Triton ,Value for money and off road ability (rear diff lock included ) plus reliability has been great. Knew of short… Read more

comings of vehicle before purchase, intercooler hoses, head unit quality etc, but they were replaced by 6 mths of age with better quality aftermarket. No issues. As with all my 4wds, replaced suspension with 40mm lift from " Loaded 4wd". What a game changer especially rear, harsh initial shock of leaves gone with a much more supple comfortable ride. Best aftermarket replacement on vehicle. Vhedia head unit great system. Reports of brakes wearing premature, not with my car, pads still 2 thirds of meat left , disc's rotors no issues. This tourer car has been around Australia twice now, no issues. Negative - paint on chassis weld areas, poor, grab a can of black paint straight away before going off road as I did and also grease all uni's and suspension yourself. Read manual, alot of people think consumables are a warranty issue, there not, belts, hoses, bulbs ,tyres, brakes, wipers, paint wear etc Remember how much you paid for vehicle before you compare it to vehicles costing 8 to 20 grand more and being disappointed. It still gets you to the exact same places , sometimes more competently and with a little of the money saved put it on suspension and tyres and start grinning.

Nice Ute mostly. The seats are very comfortable and the ride is pretty good for a ute. The included tech is very good except for the driver distraction tech which is rubbish and is very very annoying, especially as it cannot actually detect if you are distracted or paying attention. ( I have had the software upgrade installed, but it doesn't seem… Read more

to have made any difference that I am aware of) It can be turned off but not permanently which means you have turn it off each time you restart the Vehicle, this involves drilling down through the settings menu, a painful task. The ute has enough get up and go for passing on the highway and it is very good on fuel. The adblue was a bit of a concern but with a promised range of 15k's between refills, I am hoping it will be a non issue. An update; The auto stop/start feature is inconsistent in how it works, sometimes it stop/starts when you pull up in traffic and other times it doesn't. I suppose there is a reason for this, but for now I have got into the habit of switching it off every time I start the car. I do Love that you can start the car without getting and putting your foot on the brake. I am also impressed with how much room there is in the Ute tub. One issue I do have is that when you have it in 4WD there is only a small indicator on the dash letting you know, and as the 2WD indicator is right next to it, it can be easy to miss. ( There is a big icon on the screen when you first switch into 4WD but it doesn't stay there unless you change the screen views, and when you restart with the vehicle in 4WD it only has the small dashboard indicator to show that you are still in 4WD. I am finding it very easy to accessorise my MV ute as there a lot of aftermarket suppliers who support the MV model. Another update; The ride can be a bit rough on and off road which I think is acceptable for a ute with it's load carrying capacity, it can be improved though by lowering the tyre air pressure which is easy to monitor via the tyre pressure monitoring system. I read another review about the airconditioning not being that good, I think the airconditioning system is a good as, if not better that any other dual cab ute I have driven, and the rear circulation vent/fan, while a bit noisy does a great job of circulating the (already airconditioned) air around the rear seat area. (according to my backseat passengers). I will update this post on future use of this vehicle

Have had my 2013 triton since new and it's been fantastic, never given me any major problems or breakdowns, and it has carried some heavy loads of firewood with no problem Show details

Have had it a year and it's been awesome. Test drove D Max, Hilux, BT and triton and triton was number 1 with hilux a 2nd. Great 4wd system, awesome interior and excellent specs for weight carrying and towing. Fuel economy is next level. Show details

great ute 10 year warranty 2.4 l diesel engine very compy to drive plenty of power i had a arb canopy colour coded a arb bull bar colour coded cb radio and adjustable power driving lights . had lots of fun driving it around the country looked really great all decked out. Show details

Ok but not great. Just does the job – Have had 2023 triton brand newy for 18mths No issues done 108000kms so far Not the most comfortable ute compared to the ranger of same year and even the 2015 dmax with 400000kms is more comfortable. If I had the money I wouldn't buy another one I'd go dmax or ranger for comfort as I do alot of miles and I can tell you that the dmax and ranger are alot more comfortable

Display head unit glitching problem – Got the ute a few weeks ago and immediately had the head unit issues. Randomly glitches out, sometimes not recovering at all. Mitsubishi Service Center did a software upgrade, but it happened within 5 minutes again and still does. Now they are blaming everything else and dont want to continue investigating the issue?! Please contact me if you have… Read more

or had the issue. Update 8 Jan 2026: I have had to find a different service center to my local one, they replaced the display head unit and it worked for ~6 months. Completely dead again now and booked for another replacement.

Warranty not honoured – On Tuesday 19th March 2024, I had to spend $1,932.00inc to replace a split intercooler hose on my 4.5 year old Triton. A receipt for the work and associated costs was provided to Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited (MMAL). My car is still under warranty. The work required a DPF regeneration, smoke testing, a system chemical clean, a new… Read more

intercooler hose and an oil and filter change. The work was completed by a licenced, independent diesel mechanic and the work was required to be completed immediately as my vehicle could not be driven further. My local Mitsubishi dealer couldn't fit me in and I require my vehicle for work.

This work was NOT covered under warranty. The local dealership, Camden Valley Mitsubishi, supplied the hose and at the time they had 30 hoses in stock as this is a known issue with MQ and MR Tritons. The repairer who completed the work had a second Triton (MQ model) at his workshop at the same time as mine was there with the exact same fault.

I requested MMAL to reimburse me for the costs associated with this repair. An intercooler hose should not be considered a perishable item, especially after 4 years of limited use when the vehicle has been serviced and cared for correctly.

MMAL requested to see photos of the faulty part, which of course I did not have. MMAL have now refused to reimburse me ANY of the costs involved and in a dismissive email they have told me that they consider this case closed.

I have worked in a customer service and sales capacity for 30 years and have a thorough understanding of customer and manufacturer rights and responsibilities and levels of liabilities. The position of MMAL on this matter has been disgusting and they refuse to honour their manufacturer warranty.

Don't purchase latest Triton GLX+ if you want extras such as roof racks – Very happy with the car overall although there are quite a few glitches in the software that need to be sorted out and the dealership does not seem to be able to deal with them. Very unhappy with factory extras not being available even to this date. Purchased the car in late June 2024 which included canopy, tow bar and tub liner. I also asked… Read more

about roof racks for the cab and was told they would be available around October, in addition seat covers were not available. Was told by salesman would have to wait a month for canopy to be provided and it arrived 4 months later and asked to have a roof rack fitted and was told they are not available and no idea when they would be. At date of writing I have sourced seat covers from elsewhere, still do not have roof racks and no sign of one ever being available for canopy.

2016 triton mq glx+ 7.5 year review – I use the car for personal use and commuting to work, will do tip runs, cart mulch and topsoil at times and occasionally go off road. With a full ute load I get a bit more than average side to side rocking so OEM suspension is not great. My Cons: Issues with stereo losing Bluetooth settings - fix under warranty Issue with gearbox (jumps out of… Read more

3rd) - fixed under warranty Average suspension for heavy loads After 7 years I need to get roof and bonnet repainted (clear coat is gone in spots), always left outside in the sun tho No great at towing near max loads Fuel economy is not the best 80kg roof load capacity My Pros: Value for money, compared to others at the time 10k less but with a whole lot more plus better warranty Nice enough to drive for a ute Simple without all the tech crap Very capable for its price Goes well off road with good tyres I have a manual so no turbo lag issue (auto is not so lucky)

Over all, be realistic with you expectations, install a catch can and keep it serviced and it will be a good little ute for a very long time.

Great Ute and Value for Money – Love my MR Triton. Had it for 3 years and has done 77,000km. Hasn’t missed a beat. Easy to park around town in shopping centres etc and awesome off road on Fraser Island. Huge amount of tech as standard and great reverse camera. Love it! Show details

Diesel mixing with oil component in the ute – Does any one have this kind of problem. My oil level goes up every week and I have to chang the oil. I have checked my DPF it is perfectly fine Show details

Timing belt replace after 22,000km – Have a bought new 2019 Mr triton. Driving belt already squeaking after 22,000km. Told it isn't under warranty and will require $600 to replace. Absolutely appalling that a part that should last 100,000km is lasting a fifth of its lifespan and isn't covered under warranty. Told it's my problem not theirs by servicing. Show details

Highly recommended – Mn Triton just keeps going on and on running on LPG reaching 400,000 km have three of them got a diesel one time will tell if good as petrol LPG ones Show details

Excellent value for money – 2021 GLX model is certainly the best value for money of the vehicles in this range. Very good fuel economy, excellent comfort, great extras, pent of room. Used for business and personal and fits the bill perfectly. Tows a 1800kg camper trailer well although affects the fuel economy more than I thought. All up though, very happy with the purchase, and looks great. Show details

Terrible Customer Service – Go in for a warranty claim for head unit completely dying, local dealer said all good, covered by warranty. Then get a call say sorry, out of warranty you’ll have to pay for it to get fixed, we’ll need the car, we’ll send the head unit away to get repaired (not replaced), can’t give you a time line and can’t give you a cost for the repairs either.… Read more

Quick 5 minute search of forums are you can see this is a fairly common problem and they clearly don’t want to own up they have a sub pair product! Oh and still waiting for Pacific Mitsubishi Gympie to actually respond in writing so I can take claim further. Get a Hilux instead, don’t have to deal with the crap of owning a Triton.

Excellent Triton – Minds a 2018 Triton 4 door top of range model and I have never had the slightest problem with it. Towed a 3 tonne caravan 14000 klms never missed a beat. Use the vehicle every day. Plus car is serviced as per service book. The mechanic has never found a fault. Show details

Triton value for money and reliability are unmatched in the Australian market – I have done 73,000km in my 2019 MR Triton GLS 4x4 dual cab turbo diesel. My Triton is fitted with Tough Dog suspension (incl. 9-way adjustable foam cell shockers), a long range fuel tank, RSI canopy, rear diff-lock and bullbar with RUNVA winch. The ute's roadholding on bitumen and offroad in the constant 4x4 mode is highly commendable and very… Read more

predictable. It is nimble with a tight turning circle which makes it a gem on tight offroad tracks as well as in urban use. My Triton has done everything from Cape York roads to the deep sands of Fraser Island. The build quality is great and after 70,000km everything is still sturdy and looking and functioning like new. Despite a lot of negative comments in the press about the "dated interior", I find the cabin and seating position ergonomically good and the safety features more than sufficient. The lack of adaptive cruise control is not a deal breaker for me, seeing that I don't rely on all the electronic systems to drive my car. So far I have not had a single complaint to be addressed under warranty. The Triton gets serviced every 15,000km or 12 months, whichever occurs first. Occasionally I tow a 1,700kg camper trailer and the Triton handles this with ease. TheTough Dog 300kg constant load rear leaf springs together with the Tough Dog 9-way adjustable foam cell shockers give real stability to my towing combination. The constant four wheel drive option makes for safe towing in wet and slippery conditions on bitumen as well as offroad. Many dual cab utes on the market do not have the ability to engage 4x4 mode on hard surfaces. I have fitted Falken Wild Peak AT3 tyres to the Triton and find them excellent. The tyre noise on bitumen is minimal whilst the grip on bitumen surfaces, both in wet and dry conditions, is impressive. These tyres also performed well offroad and in the sand (if deflated to about 18psi). The conclude, I regard the Triton GLS as unbeatable value for money.

Severe back pain – I never had back pain with my old car driving hundreds of kms per week. Now, just drive Triton ute double cab for a month and suddenly i woke up with sharp back pain can't move. The pain settled after 2 days in bed. I returned using my old sedan and never had the back pain anymore. Then i tried the Triton ute again and in just a week the excruciating back pain happened again. I am not using the Triton ute anymore.

These cars make oil! – Beware! Mitsubishi will deny and shrug it off but they admit they don’t have a solution! You will have DPF issues at some stage, you will have split cooler hoses, you will have to push hard to get any help from them and warranty is a joke! 48400km and 7K for new dpf! Just get a Toyota because you will end up spending just as much! Show details

Bit miffed – The car is pretty good, just had the head unit software updated hopefully that will be better as it was a total Pia. Just had the 30,000 service done and have been told the discs are warped , not covered by warranty, started pulsing at 24,000 , no towing , light town driving...was a bit taken aback , replaced my rodeo discs at 280,000 and they… Read more

were worn not warped. I said I might fit a set of better quality rotors , the girl said aftermarket rotors won't be covered by warranty, I just laughed. Sunshine coast Dealership As for the car, suspension is a bit stiff but fine with a little weight, drives well , good on fuel , very quiet on the highway, pretty happy , daily drive, roomy in the back, love the rear fan. Engine sound like a can full of marbles but only from the outside.
