Mitsubishi Triton 2024 review - dual-cab 4x4 ute test (inc off-road) | L200, Athlete, pickup, bakkie

Is this new Triton pick-up truck a breakthrough moment for Mitsubishi?

The brand has put years of blood, sweat and tears into the development of this new-generation 2024 Mitsubishi Triton, which -- unlike the last model -- has been rethought from the ground up.

That means a new chassis, new wheelbase length, a bigger body, stronger towing capacity, better on-road dynamics (with Australian tuning for the suspension and steering!), more off-road capability, a more powerful twin-turbo engine, and a seriously reworked interior with more space and comfort than ever before.

It is, seriously, a competitor for the Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux, and still maintains a price advantage... but the price is now higher than ever before.

So, is it worth it? And should you buy one? Watch til the end for my verdict!

I am aiming to review every new car on the market that people actually buy, to help new-car customers like you, or curious car enthusiasts (maybe also like you) get the right steer when it comes to choosing a new set of wheels.

If you're looking for a car for yourself, monitoring the market and hunting for the latest info, or even if you've just bought your new car and you're looking to see what experts like me think about it, The Right Car will offer you something of value.

I'm aiming to upload a review or two per week, so if you have any specific cars you want me to take a look at, please feel free to leave a comment. Any feedback on my content is welcome, and you can feel free to email me or hit me up on social media.

I'm eager to see this new channel grow, and it can only do that with your support and feedback - so please let me know if there's anything you don't like, want more of, or would like to see changed. I'd love to hear from you.

That dark roof liner is one of the best features imo

[goldfools]

Good to watch a reviewer that actually knows about cars. Not all do..

[ngman]

No one in all the review’s except for this guy spoke about the hill decent features or anything like that, this was a good fair review for once a believable review.

[garyandthebat]

If Mr Nissan is watching please fix the small issues that Matt pointed out. Don't make the Navara ugly, make sure all the safety inclusions aren't annoying, and include rear disc brakes. Mitsubishi have provided an excellent platform for you to build on. Great report Matt.

Mitsubishi superselect is one of a kind and sent from HEAVEN. BUY!

[Mochabear]

Credit where it's due, pretty good review. Watched others this morning that said the rear had some jitter on the road over bumps - kind of a given when it's unladed. My drive experience with the GSR was opposite to what others have said, and found it to be compliant enough for me not to notice. Your review has been less nitpicky compared to others, so kudos for that.

[AlsAllAussieAdventures]

I love it, think it will be an amazing car... love the look, love the interior and love the Mitsubishi reliability.

[elishaemanuel]

Put to the test in rally racing championship it will defeated Ford raptor, Nissan, Audi, Volkswagen, , Toyota, Mercedes, Land Rover mini and many more brand, AXCR cross country Thailand Laos to Cambodia endurance Mitsubishi Triton is the champion

[AlejandroArchila]

Mitsubishi rich history in WRC & Dakar Rally made this a really good option for off-road adventures with the Super Select 4WD & S-AWC in other Mitsubishi Models. ❤️

[keithgregory]

I like it the fact the top spec is cheaper then the other Brands in top spec but still just as capable

[Freep-ml]

Update: I bought the Thailand 15:34 Athlete model in black, dark greyish, it's amazing! Hill decent is an amazing feature. Rides almost like a sedan sometimes I forget I'm driving a truck. 360 camera helps alot. Fuel consumption is class leading. In real life it's beautiful and everyone wants to look at it for a long time!

[reeltomeal]

I think you may have sold me on this new model . I have the current GLS and this is just a brand new overall design that will win over many with its capabilities in a lot of areas. Great review.

[willhooke]

I've never understood why AWD isn't an option on all these 4WD utes and wagons

Given that utes need help with traction anyway, it seems like an obvious choice to me

Kudos to Mitsubishi 👏🏻

[roocrew]

I think Mitsubishi are very optimistic with their pricing. No question they can make a good car but their edge was the quality and value. Changing the price into ranger hilux and dmax territory will hurt them

[Layno]

Why complain about a manual tailgate... are we not men?

[Nico-qtqz]

The price is astronomical, cant believe it doesnt come standard with a towball😮

[timryan]

Yes it would be great to see a towing test as that would be the purpose I would be using it for.

[TravelThailand]

The top clove box is perfect for my wife's handbag when I get in the car. In every other car we drive she gives me the shots with her handbag

[rideswithhoover]

Yeap do a towing test, best way to tell how good the motor really is going to be.

[alanshearer]

Seen these on the back of a truck in Wollongong today
