MR Triton - WHAT I DISLIKE ABOUT IT!!!

Find out what I dislike most about the MR Triton.

Shielding is there to protect the VNT plug. It's at the highest point which is where engine heat accumulates. Any options to protect a plug are very limited and that shielding is the most elegant. The other options include a oily, brown coloured wrap that smells funny, which I'm sure you'd not enjoy.
Clutch reservoir has an oring to seal around the lid. It''s not going to fall off when you drive the car in any situation.
Find me a hot side of a used turbo that isn't rusty. I'll wait.
Most dual cab utes have ridiculously long charge piping, that's why we have an aftermarket. I've got a MN triton hard pipe kit on my front porch right now that solves the issue on the MN.

I'm happy to hear there's not much of consequence you don't like about the Triton, sounds like you'll get a happy 5-10 years!

My triton Dec22 is 4 days old and I noticed the alfoil wrapped potato yesterday... I touched it and it seems like a lead wrapping, but obviously not... why Mitzi why? thanks mate great to find you.

The squeaky suspension is something all trucks have and even 4wd SUVs like Prados have. Sometimes it's the pads btwn the leaf springs that rub or sometime it's just dirt.

[henkstols]

The good news is some of the issues you have will be fixed anyways as they are common upgrades for 4 wheel drivers. Here in South Africa we dont have the same choices as you guys and Mitsubishi is missing out by not offering us this, we also dont have the emissions control so most will delete the egr and remove the dpf once out of warranty.

I've had a glx since Feb and have about 10k on it. Gets used a lot on the farm for odd jobs and stock work. I haven't had to many complaints. Main complaints are the anti jacking door locks ... No seat lumber adjustments... The rear overhang is worse than it looks (I fitted an arb summit rear bar to fix this) and yes the chin. I had a tjm bar installed and that fixed that...

Even though I don't have a Triton, I love seeing what ideas you come up with.

I brought the 2021 Triton gsr in black and the paint is shit thin if I ran my finger nail over it I would leave a big line to be honest I expected better for the money but in saying that most cars today suffer the same problems they are all scamming the public. I still love my Triton but the paint is a massive fail looking back when I brought it the salesman suggested paint protection I said why is their a problem with the paint oh no its fine it just helps with pollution and bird poop and god nose what else. I was told by someone that does the paint protection that its not really going to make much difference because the paint is so thin so I decided to leave it. All car manufactures should get a big kick up the arse. That will be the last new car I buy.

My 2wd 98 MK Triton 4g64 has done 392, 000km it has no rattles or noises and everything still works even the A/C is still cold.

Most new cars for the last 15yrs or so only have one coat of primer one coat of paint and one coat of clear I've worked in panel shops and seen it myself.

New subscriber here Sir ! From the Yeah Sir you said pretty much all its issues. me and my wife got our first pick up truck which is a 2.4 Triton 2021. everything you've said here are my experiences too in this car. but just like you said despite it I still love this Car. it gets the job done and takes care of us. for me its an underrated pick up because triton is a beast pick up truck too.

The usb charging issue is more likely your charging cable. Try it with a brand new cable, and I'd be very surprised if you have the same issue.

[noodlesgalore]

The power steering fluid cap not screwed down I think is just a Mitsubishi thing, I’ve got a 1995 paj and it’s the same

[Chris-pidq]

Hi mate. The suspension is a known ticket with Mitsubishi for the MQ (not a recall). If you're within warranty, they'll replace for free when proven to be the cause. Given MQ and MR use the same suspension, I imagine it'll hold true for MR as well. That said, people have said it continues to squeak afterwards too. At the very least have a chat and see where you stand

[BaddaihTV]

I have a glx+, same problems as you have discussed but once again, I bought it to have fun and explore like you mate.

I just dinted my tub just below my driver's side lights. Annoying, but I couldn't put a price on how good of an experience last weekend was

[tysono]

Those clutch lids are the same as the 80 series and prados, they never come off. Somehow

[sambar_slayer]

Hey mate what’s the big block under the rear diff can’t work it out can I remove it and not loose warrenty

[mitchellboyd]

Yeah all the MR's have very thin paint, i have a blue GLS Premium and the original paint on my 91 GQ is stronger. Overall i love my MR.
33's, 2" lift, bull bar, scrub bars, winch and uhf so far.

[sarahwright]

Loved it. I've an MR and was literally saying g last night the headlights are bad. Running lights almost give off more light!!

[Calcuzilla]

Can confirm most of the issues don't exist on GSR. Also from SA

Shout out to MR Triton Club Australia

[doodah]

Sorry to hear all your problems. Ive had tritons since the 1990 love them. You never see me in a hilux nissan or dmax.
So over the years I've probably saved that much money that my next car will be free.

[jeepwillbmw]

I find my GLS Premium charges my phone very quickly, but I don't have anything else plugged in .
