I had a diesel knock in my MY 2010 Triton

Asked Mitsubishi to fix it and this was the response:

Does anyone not note this car Has Stability and Traction control Standard. This may well achieve 5 stars as these Tritons are the only UTES on australian Markets with up to 6 airbags and TRACTION+STABILITY

THUMBS UP MITSUBISHI!

Richo, I was referring to the DAKAR city, in Senegal, Africa!!
The original finishing point of Dakar Rally, before they moved to South America for security reasons.

Although there still was an unofficial dakar race running in Africa this year (And i was lucky enough to be there on the finishing line to witness it)…

As for Mitsubishi Dakar = Domination, lets not forget it is the only manufacturer of any significant size in it’s class to be present there!!

I actual reckon the prototypes add a flavor to the race, although quite a few of them are 2wd only…
Anyway it’s been pretty interesting to see dodge viper, and porsche 911 compete in such race!!

Personally the Trucks are my favorites!!

Lil Red Rooster, no worries…

They didn’t run the Challenger at Dakar, however they did run some tritons in the production class this year, could that be what you where refering too?

Mitsubishi + Dakar = domination

its a shame the Dakar rally went away from pure production rallying and instead went with these silly prototypes, back when the production class was the class that raced for outright honours the Pajero was just utterly untouchable, it used to be Pajero from Pajero from Pajero from Pajero etc

To Tomas79, thanks for your answer mate. Sorry you got 3 thumbs down for your effort. There are some tools around aren’t there.
Being sarcastic now, I have seen the advert for the outlander and you can switch this button and then go anywhere, thanks again T.

The downthumbers must have been to Dakar too and mustn’t like this new model eh ?

Lil Red Rooster Says:
”
My big confusion is why are they even bringing out the challenger when they have the Outlander, is there a gap to be filled, is one bigger than the other, someone please answer this question for me, cheers, LRR”

The outlander is just a soft-roader, while the challenger is a much more offroad capable medium size 4wd wagon.
I have seen these challengers first hand in Dakar, not bad…
