Mitsubishi Triton MR (2018-2023)

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Nothing frightens a triton – I have own my MR Triton for 3 years and it still going strong. The bad parts, seat fabric quality isn't good, comfort is ok. Brakes rotors as small so the wear quickly. Throttle response is bad but is easily fixed with a Throttle controller. The good parts. Dependable vehicle. Good warranty. Easy to park in tight car parks. Good 4wd system.… Read more

Plenty of aftermarket accessories Available. Engine can be easily tuned for more power and torque, I had mine done by ultimate diesel tuning, it a different beast now. Best part is it cheap and reliable so you have lots more aftermarket options to add on without breaking the bank. Word of advice. If you going to lift it the fuel consumption and engine performance will be slightly affected. It can get to all low to medium grade 4wd tracks without a lift.

Love the ute, but pity about its issues – Had the Triton MR 4x4 GLS premium since new 2019 with now 75,000 km on odometer. Ute drives well in general on and off road, albeit the suspension is a little too stiff (which is evident on many of Tassie's less than perfect sealed and unsealed roads). Towing large load has noticeable adverse steering input due to the long distance from tow point… Read more

to axel, but this allows for a shorter wheelbase and great turning circle. An intercooler hose split which required replacement which took seven months for Hobart Mitsubishi to perform who claimed they couldn't get the part. The exhaust manifold cracked and also required replacing which took 6 weeks for them to get the part - beware of parts supply issues. The head unit freezes and has not been resolved. Have to turn the ute off and on to reset the head unit. The front parking sensors randomly alert on occasions when stationary and no obstacles around. The turbo has a noticeable lag when accelerating aggressively (e.g. entering busy intersection crossing traffic) and can be alarming if not use to it. Suggest always use 4x4 mode as the sudden coming on of the turbo in 2x4 will cause wheel spin, especially in the wet. With aftermarket modifications such as suspension upgrade and a throttle controller like the iDrive, the ute is most satisfactory and great value for money.

Love the car.. but the radio head unit is an absolute piece of junk – I use my car everyday with an average during the week of City and Highway driving of 200klms a day and the car is a pleasure to drive. A bit bouncy with no weight in the tray but I expected that. The Radio Head Unit on the other hand is an absolute piece of junk.. Constantly freezes and then cuts out and restarts. I have raised this in my… Read more

authorized dealer services and they said they'll look into it and after constantly pursuing them for an update they or Mitsubishi Australia have finally agreed that yes there is an issue and now I am awaiting a replacement after 2 years of hounding them. I can only hope that the Head Unit they replace it with isn't the same as the piece of crap they are taking out.. fingers crossed

Another Head Unit – 5 week old GLX R Trtion, head unit has all sorts of mystery happening. These include and not limited to, randomly changing stations, not storing stations, blank screen, to just no display of any kind for days. The most annoying thing is the dealer in Sth Australia admits that there is a problem, and advises that there is a software fix on the… Read more

way, but no date!! I have since moved to Townsville QLD and the dealer here states there is no issues with this model and head units. Mind you this dealer is extremely difficult to deal with on any issue.

How can Mitsubishi knowingly continue to sell these vehicles with the knowledge that the Head Units are faulty, to use kind and nice words. Why has their not been a recall??? I am more than angry

Head unit issues – Agree with the last post about the head unit so frustrating I’m about to get my third unit in 4 weeks 2600 ks on it. Have been in contact with Mitsubishi Australia asking to have the unit upgraded to the 22.5 head unit they told me that’s not a option Mitsubishi Australia do not care or want to help. These units should never of been installed to… Read more

the vehicle’s my list of problems is huge. So if there not willing to listen to me and do something to help me other then keep replacing it with the same head unit I am willing to do things so I am listen to nothing a legal but it may make the news because I have had enough 5 times into a Mitsubishi dealership and hours spent and I am only getting the same piece of rubbish replaced. I do not recommend these 2022 tritons this is my 3rd one I have had 2014 triton then a 2018 and now a 2022 and I can tell you they have gone backwards

Cheap for many reasons – Mitsubishi should recall these vehicles & replace the useless stereo head unit & fix the dangerous throttle lag. This issues are discussed daily in social media groups. I would never let an inexperienced driver operate my vehicle due to the lag. When you try to accelerate quickly there’s a delay of a second or two before the power kicks in.… Read more

Because of this delay, many drivers that I’ve spoken to have pushed a bit harder on the pedal & then had to deal with a larger than expected kick in power when it does come on. Especially dangerous in the wet. I noted this issue at my 1500km check up & was told that the vehicle is operating normally. The stereo system is total rubbish! Every time I get a phone call I have to power down the whole system to reset it so I can listen to the radio again after the call. The whole system powers down as soon as the engine is stopped & then takes about a minute to reboot if you want to listen with just the accessories on. There’s been many instances where the radio just drops out & gives static sound. System needs rebooting to rectify. Trying to swap between apps like Spotify & radio is extremely frustrating as it rarely works as hoped. Radio reception is terrible. The transmission is clunky & very indecisive. This vehicle is used daily. 2022 GSR. 6500km at time of writing. I regret this purchase.

Rough idle Mitsubishi Triton 2022 – Bought new Mitsubishi Triton and have a rough idle at the traffic lights...only in drive and intermediately.. Feels like is going to stall.. Vehicle only had 100 kilometres on the clock when this started , now have 1500 and have it booked in for its first free service.. however looking at some other reviews I see this has also happened to other… Read more

Triton owners... I would like to know of outcomes.. ?? Did the dealer rectify problem ?? I feel as if I bought a new vehicle and that new car warranty means not much if they can't fix...

Cheap for a reason – 25,000KM into ownership and I am on first name basis with the manager of my Mitsubishi Dealership. It's on it's second gearbox, after the original one kept popping out of third at speed. The new gearbox refuses to go into reverse without a significant amount of force applied to it, so I suppose it's about to get its third gearbox now. I think… Read more

I've shelled out two, maybe three times for new brakes. The dealership insist that it is my driving but after I went to consumer affairs they admitted that there was a design fault. They are unable to rectify the brakes squealing it seems, so I just live with it now.

The entertainment unit is just awful. We'll leave it at that.

It beeps, bongs, boops and ticks for everything. Seatbelt is off momentarily? Beeps. Put it into reverse with the tailgate down? Different Beeps. Diesel tank a quarter empty? Different beeps again. If they had only engineered the rest of the car as well as they had the overwhelming amount of alarms on the dashboard.

Oh, and all four corners of suspension had to be replaced during the first service. I didn't have to pay for that though.

The dealership have been difficult at almost all times, I've had to get both corporate Mitsubishi and the ombudsman involved. I can't say I would recommend anyone buying one, that said, I can't say any other brand has a better reputation at the moment either.

BAD customer service – The head unit freezes all the time and i have to pull over, turn car off and start the car again just to unfreeze the head unit. Told Mitsubishi 9mths ago and still waiting for them to get back to me as to when it will be replaced as it's been doing it from the time we picked the car up from the caryard from brand new. So if your looking at a twin… Read more

cab Ute the don't get a Mitsubishi Triton. The car is 12mths and 3 weeks old. Even emailed head office but still nothing and no one gets back to me. Very frustrating when I have to pull off the road, turn the car off and start it again just to turn the volume up or down or even use the gps.

Very bad customer service

BAD PIECE OF JUNK – 1500kms blew a turbo hose Fixed under warranty Blew again. Fixed under warrany Blew again! For the 3rd time Wasted my time. Put me in limp mode in dangerous situations. Now at 35,000km it is in limp mode again. Show details

No complaints here. Great Ute and great price :) – Currently towing my 2.5t caravan with stock suspension. Does the job. Owned since new 2019and had no problems. Done 45,000 ks. Good pricing, unlike the dmax which is overpriced for what you get. Show details

Great all rounder – Mostly used as a work vehicle, as a business broker. Great for carrying signs as well as customers. Most are surprised how comfortable and quality of air con, auto and sound system (mostly via Spotify). Occasionally tows an A Van Frances (1495 dry, about 1850 Loaded). Does it easily. Expect mid 8s for highway work, 10s in town and 14s or so… Read more

towing. It seems resale compared to sedans and SUVs is a lot better, so might think of a GSR in 12 months or less
