You'd be forgiven for thinking the 2019 Mitsubishi Triton is an all-new model, because how it looks has changed so dramatically. Underneath that updated sheetmetal however, you'll find it's the same base platform that's been underpinning the range since 2015. To that end, we've bought along the CarAdvice Triton from ou behind the camera, and thurst it into the limelight...
The Mitsubishi Triton ute/pick up has had a minor makeover for the 2020 model year, but the changes will appeal mostly to those who want to head off-road. CarAdvice's National Motoring Editor, Joshua Dowling takes a look at the updates.
We test 11 of the best double-cab utes on sale in Australia today, including towing, loading, in the city and suburbs, and off-road.
The Mitsubishi Triton is a staple of Australia's ute market, outsold only by the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger in its segment. This recently upgraded model gets a buffer design and a full suite of active safety tech designed to keep it fresh, and a new range-topping GLS Premium variant that we're testing here...
Dual-cab utes are expected to be more versatile today than ever before. Rough and tough is not enough. The flagship versions must be comfortable inside, safe, and look the part because people want show ponies as well as workhorses. Consider, for a moment, that the eight most popular dual-cab models managed 193,000 sales in Australia last year, which equals 16 per cent of the entire new vehicle market...
The 2021 Mitsubishi Triton has gone up in price, making it the second price rise for the ute since October 2020. Mitsubishi has increased prices by $500 across the Triton range – with the exception of the dual-cab GLS and GSR variants, which have risen in price by $750. The cost of entry into a Triton ute is now $23,490 plus on-road costs for a two-door cab-chassis GLX ute with a 2...

Meanwhile, the 2021 Mitsubishi Triton line-up has also become more expensive, in this case by an average of $730 per vehicle. The entry-level two-wheel drive 2.0-litre Outlander has gone from $29,490 plus on road costs, to $29,990 plus on road costs...
Used vehicle prices in Australia are 25 per cent higher than they were during the same period last year, marking an all-time record rate of growth for the sector.

In a sharp U-turn just 24 hours after executives representing the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance said most future models will largely look the same – but with different badges and subtle styling cues – Nissan has vowed to retain at least some of its identity...
I was issued this ute as a new company-supplied work vehicle in October 2017. I have previously had a Hilux and a 3.2-litre Ranger dual-cab. As of today, I have traveled 118,000 kilometres in the Triton and it has had no issues whatsoever. I do a lot of interstate travel into NSW and SA from my base in Melbourne...
My Triton was purchased in February 2019 - a December 2018 build and the second MR Triton sold by the dealer. It was purchased so that my wife and I could tow a camper trailer and go off the grid. Since purchase, there have been a few minor issues to do with the side windows which had faults in the glass, however these were dealt with quickly and the glass replaced at the dealership...
I have now owned my Triton for just over a year, so I believe I can give some sound thoughts on what it is like to live with on a day to day basis. To begin with, lets start with the Triton's biggest seller, the price. I paid about $32,000 for my 2017 GLX (yes, I had some optional extras thrown on, but nothing to blow a price out)...
After biting the bullet and buying my first diesel, I can honestly say I love this car. The reason for my choice came down to a couple of key factors. Size was high as I live in the city, so I wanted a dual-cab that could be manoeuvred easily. Cost and value were also big items on the list, as I'm sure they are with any other consumer products...
