This TRITON is TOUGH! • CUSTOMS #27

SUBSCRIBE for fresh 4WD content every day!

Luck – you’ve either got it or you haven’t. Those of us in the know, those of us who’ve been around 4WDs for a bit know that Tritons make for seriously capable, completely under-rated 4WDs. Beneath the modern design lines of Tritons like this one, lies Mitubishi’s rally-bred drivetrains, which very rarely go wrong in a big way. They’re reliable, they’re decently economical for what they are and there’s a surprising amount of aftermarket support for the Triple Diamond utes.

I have a 2012 Triton 3.2l L200 4x4, has a 3" lift kit, running MT 33s all round, Ive owned the Nissan and Hilux. But this Triton i enjoy the best of all, its a whole different league when it comes to heavy load hauling. My old faithful handles our harsh South African climates and the roughest of terrains with ease. Shes one tough engine, pushing on 478000km with regular service, and till date ive had no major/minor engine issues.

3.2l triton are great, diff lock the front with the rear lsd it goes. Apart from the egr which happens to most Diesel engines it's a serious 4x4 for the dollar.

Interesting ZA sticker on the bull bar.

[jasoncwaters]

I like your slide idea, have you any build tips on it please. I have a factory canopy and tub liner in my 2011 mn. Very cool truck you have there.

[HENKULANUS]

Dude, share about the front bullbar, ... thanks

[dyybfro]

I had the same xrox bar. I crashed and it saved my ute.

2.5 4D56 turbo Diesel engine has a common over heating issue due to manufacturing defect. Mitsubishi didn’t recall all the triton and check and replace the engine block with the issue. What they did is a campaign to “cover it up” and delay the showing of the problem. I bought a 2nd hand mn triton(10yr old). And unluckily after 4 month the engine start over heating. I have an old 2005 triton Ute with 4g64 engine. Bought it at 10 year old with 150k on the clock. Now it is about 320k and 17 years old. It never missed a beat and other than normal wear and tear the engine is so reliable and that is why I trusted Mitsubishi and bought the mn triton. But it seems to me, Mitsubishi was doing the same thing as what takata air bag did by covering up the issue instead of correcting them properly. So if you are thinking of buying a second hand triton with 4d56 engine, be careful.
