Now that 'budget' utes aren’t as low-rent as they used to be, can the Mitsubishi Triton still hold its own?
The Mitsubishi Triton has a new flagship in the range, with three versions of the GSR replacing the GLS Premium.
While new metal continues to bound into the competitive 4x4 ute segment, is Mitsubishi's mid-spec Triton still the smart value choice?
With looks normally reserved for higher-cost models, is the GLX-R going to be the darling of the Triton range?
Loadspace is arguably the most crucial part of a ute’s definition. While their base function is still the same, there are a lot of different feature these days that can set them apart. From bare bones, all the way to electric roller covers, let's see what's available to you.
We test eight of Australia’s favourite utes in our annual mega test.

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...
There's plenty of variety at the business end of the four-wheel-drive ute segment these days. We run through them from top to bottom.
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...
The Toyota HiLux posted its strongest March result of all time last month, as it got a head-start on its run to becoming the nation’s favourite vehicle for a sixth year in a row. The strong ute result comes as sales of Light Commercial Vehicles (the industry term for utes and vans) outsold traditional passenger cars for the first time in Australian automotive history, in March 2021, with 23,255 LCVs reported as sold (up 28 per cent compared to the same month last year) versus 21,360 passenger cars (down 1...
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...
The 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander range has increased in price, with the updated model costing around $660 more than 2020 variants. 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. Although new car sales are dwindling, demand for used vehicles has accelerated rapidly, smashing the previous record of 20 per cent growth set in December 2009...
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...
