Mitsubishi Triton GSR 2024 review: Is the new 4x4 dual-cab pick-up a better buy than Ford Ranger?

The 2024 Mitsubishi Triton has to wear a lot of hats. The mid-size ute has evolved over now six generations, during which it's become than just a humble workhouse. Point being, range-topping versions, like the GSR 4x4 dual-cab pick-up on test here, also have to balance adventure and family duties.

It's no surprise, then, that the Japanese brand has thrown the proverbial kitchen sink at the new Triton GSR, with it shaping up as a serious rival for the Ford Ranger Wildtrak, Toyota HiLux Rouge and Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain on paper. Case in point: it ushers a 2.4-litre twin-turbo diesel four-cylinder engine with more power and torque than its single-turbo predecessor.

At the same time, the next-gen Triton GSR also has a redesigned interior that's more driver and family friendly than before – but does it go far enough? In this expert review, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist Emily Agar and her family of three spend a week living with it to find out.

Please note the maximum power output mentioned at 5:12 is incorrect. It's actually 150kW. Apologies for any confusion.

Good to see nice straight forward honest review

[craigharrop]

[elishaemanuel]

10 years warranty wow very nice pretty good handling stability manuvering cornering experience

[VintageRKO]

Looks so good. Hopefully the Pajero Sport maintains its tough look

[richardtimms]

A review without mentioning the ranger 50 times. Ford sponsored carsales should take note

[mayur.chauhan]

Excellent review! This car would be ideal for those new to camping and light off-roading (like me), allowing them to access locations that are difficult or impossible to reach with a standard 2WD vehicle. Also, budget friendly. I have shortlisted Navara and this one.

[bradconley]

The alerts would do my head in, I’m not turning them off every time I start the car

[reeltomeal]

Seem to have done ok with the redesign with lots of improvements over the previous model, which I own.

[phunk]

Thank you for simple to use interior nothing fancy. Not everyone want complicated tech.

[hontam]

Looking forward to the Pajero Sport variant.

Great review, i like the rugged looks of the new triton, the suspension is tuned to be on the softer side for a comfortable ride especially on Bumpy roads.

The offroad performance is also amazing

There is full time awd in the triton, the only other utes in the same class with full time awd is the v6 models of the ranger and amarok.

The triton has good fuel economy

Also the addition of Ad blue will be coming to all future models of ford and toyota, so it wont only be a triton thing. Ad blue is already installed in the new ford everest

It is also coming to the new prado

I wish Australian brand devisions would realise that not everyone wants the shiny black wheels and ebay flares. Its not just Mitsubishi.

If you want the premium interior but prefer the simpler and more elegant exterior you're out of luck.

Premium interiors come with the eBay special exteriors.

Based on direct price comparison I reckon this should really be compared to the GWM Cannon Alpha, especially the hybrid version.

Thankyou l looking for a 4×4 to go way girls just won't have fun, l haven't got a clue but l have a budget. Just need a good reliable 4×4.
Cheers Michelle

Tech and 2.4L twin turbo put me off.

I’ll get the 2.8L SR5 Hilux

“Going to appeal to old schoolers” nothing more to say…

[oeelqts]

huh? you said 170kw? did you not? can you pls double check that figure darlin

[buster_]

Was excited but that camera that looks at you all the time would be annoying. Why aren't these car companies doing something about ancap. Having a camera telling you of for doing a head check to make sure it's clear to either take of or merge.

[mpho]

U might change ur mind after u see it lined up with other ute.
