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
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

Lil Boo, I Didn't know I needed You! – Lil Boo because she is white. But what an absolute beast! Why? We had the previous model and thought it was great! The difference is huge and we never thought it would be. It's longer not by much but enuf to second guess where I park. So I park usually where no one else does and it makes me want to park properly, even with all of the parking… Read more
sensors and cameras watching my every move.
Use: Family car, a daily run a round town, long distance driving as well as for 4x4 off road Beach camping. On the beach is where it is absolutely unstoppable and thats not even having to use all the extra functions. Airing down the tyres, shifting into "sand" mode, unlocking the wheels, not driving like a lunatic while pulling a 2.3tonne fully stocked camper is the bomb! You can't even feel the camper behind you.
Comfort: Seating is very comfortable, most especially the front. There is a warm seat function on the driver's side only..which is a shame as its great for soothing lower back issues on long journeys. The drivers seat also has electric moving functions that are brilliant and can be preset if needed. It's also a shame the passenger side doesn't have the same? Doesn't make sense as I would have paid a bit extra for them both to be the same in all aspects.
Room: Very good leg room in the front, but not so much in the back for adults, still ok though. Head room is great all round.
Sound System: AMAZING!!!
Interior: Leather upholstery with cool stitching on door trims and all seats. Usual material for everywhere else.
Fuel consumption: I have found its 12-12.5lt per 100ks around town (I am not a lead foot or an aggressive driver) Highway driving 8.8lt per 100ks. For the size of the car it's brilliant compared to our old next model - MQ was horrific, highway was high 11lt/100ks and 15lt/100ks around town so much cheaper!!!
Safety: Sticks like a brick on the road. Airbags x 6 along with awesum collision/crash avoidance stuff going on too.
Servicing: Lil Boo has literally just ticked over 6,000ks and only had her first service at 1500k. Took her for her first beach camping in that time too and ready to go again Dec 1 for a month!
Loves: How she blinks and tucks her ears (side mirrors) in when you lock her. (See Video) Keyless entry is to die for...I don't even have to get the keys out of my bag!!! Push button start is amazing...again i dont have to get the keys out of my bag hahaha. I just love the feel of the drive, it's very easy despite the size. The gear paddles are also a game changer for me they make going up and down mountains easy with out having to touch the break all the time. The display screen is amazingly bigger than the older model, easy to use and the camera resolution is very clear. The side step is at the perfect height too and for my dad who is 81yrs old and finds it difficult to get in and out I leave a fold up step for him to use...works a treat.
Dislikes: I'm not fussed about the phone connection sometimes. It won't play from one of my favourite apps but will only from another one I don't always use. Weird... But the over all connectivity is great. Sometimes the "break now" feature flashes when there is no one in front of me and there are a few other gremlins running around the system but hopefully they will iron themselves out. The gear box is clunky at times even in reverse...really not at all happy about that, but I have been told it 'should' smooth out round 15,000ks...so will be interesting to see if it does. If not it will go back in to the service centre until it's rectified!
Looks: Chunky with rounded curves, means business, kinda almost classy and sexy all in one :))
Note to self: Don't go around corners in the wet without something with a little bit of weight in the back!
**Who knew the tyre jack hides behind the back seat! Lolzzz see photo
Shoddy workmanship – Tail lights installed upside down so trapped moisture and corroded assembly. Replaced under warranty but with inconvenience and cost to me. Paint worn off door sill after 2 years of average punter use. Normal "wear and tear" according to dealer....so every car in Australia has paint worn off after 2 years?? . Poor manufacturing and Mitsubishi doesn't want to know.!! Not impressed.. 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.
Radio no date when coming – Radio faulty rang Mitsubishi they tell you there’s no eta I say are you for real no eta Show details
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 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
Does everything I need it to do, looks great, great value – 2.5 litre turbo is torquey with enough power in the right spot. Nice transmission with smooth gear changes. Tough looking front end that’s cheap and easy to customise. Great value for money, at least $15000 cheaper than competitors. Show details
