I know people don’t like premieres - it’s just an easy way to let everybody know we have content coming that’s under an embargo (which means we can’t publish it beforehand).
Good to see it is still a very 'Mitsubishi' vehicle despite joining Renault/Nissan. Kept super select etc, improved the previous gen motor rather than going a Renault abomination of an engine. Good stuff. Hopefully we see Nissans get better, rather than Mitsubishi's get worse.
Ive had a few Mitsubishi 4WDs and they've always delivered in terms of durability and reliability. I like how Mitsubishi keeps their design and engineering in Japan (with local suspension tuning). Allot of manufactures have gone to America or Europe for their design and engineering but this looks to be another long lasting, over thought 4WD built to good old Japanese standards.
Super duper reliable Mitsubishi. My family has been driven Mitsubishi since birth. Now I want this. I feel like the front was designed that way on purpose for aftermarket dress up. Look at Thailand now, they dress up this new Trition with aftermarket accessories like a King!
Pretty impressed by what I see. They've upgraded what needed upgrading and kept the stuff that worked well. I think they've nailed that middle-of-the-road sector of the market, with 4x4 performance that will be at or near the top, at a reasonable price. This will sell well.
I used to hate the rear of the pajero sport, now i hate the front of the Triton. But the vehicle looks great and seems to be like a great drive. Love your reviews.
same. I have the 2021 pajero sport, the front face looks great, but the rear is ugly as shit. Hopefully the next gen pajero sport won't look like this Triton...
This looks really compelling. Triton is no longer the cheaper "little brother" any more. That goes to LDV, GWM so they have appropriately positioned themselves in the middle. All the updates look really good. Torque on paper doesn't appear to be representative of actual driving performance. The two big improvements for me however are that the tub overhang is now sorted via longer wheelbase so you can put a tray on with better load distribution and the width has also increased. I think for a $10-$12k difference to Ranger/Hilux, I think this is a compelling package. Especially as in my view the tritons have proven to reliable over the years, and recent issues with Rangers concern me no matter how comfortable they are. Yes I'm sure the dealer fixes it all under warranty but the sheer inconvenience not only takes up your time but for others can cost you money if using for business/work.
I look at people rush to buy ford rangers and totally forget how terrible the reliability is. All they are concerned with is how it looks , until the transmission goes or engine blows up. Then the fun is over. Look at all ford current engines , eco boost etc, they are terribly unreliable. Ford drive train reliability is about on par with gwm. Despite ford developing engine for much longer.
It should hold a good grip on its 3rd place behind Hilux and Ranger. A 1 tonne payload but still rear drum brakes seems a bit poor. Ford is strong on bling but weak on reliability. Toyota are shortly going to take a big jump ahead with the new gen Hilux, but the Triton makes a lot sense in the sub-70k price range.
It’s definitely a nice looking vehicle inside and out. Looks like it performs well. At the risk of upsetting the Toyota fan club I’d say much better value for money than hilux or 70 series.
Anything is better value than a 70 series. Now that's it been bundled with so much tech and now a hybrid powertrain it can't claim a back to basics driving experience anymore, which was the only thing it had going for it.
Great first insight, looks like a good bit of fun and massive improvement with the response, looking forward to your full review closer to launch date 😁
Im not sure. Yes it is an improvment over the previous model. But somehow the body style seems a bit old fashion. The dynamic shield front is gone, the back lights looks not stylish. It is bigger in every dimention, defnitly a plus. Just doesnt look manly or macho. Aftermaket accesories might transform it into more looker
i absolutely love it and strongly believe Mitsubishi have always made super reliable cars. This new MV version will be a great, comfortable, reliable tourer.
got pajero 15 years never missed a bit, I use it for my food Bissnis, and delivers so much weight in it,& 4w driving in QLD, thinking of getting a new 2024-25 Triton, looks good!!
I’ve wanted to buy a loaded dual cab for some time, but can’t justify the 70k+ price for Toyota, Ford etc. This is a great price with a really nice modern interior. I think I’m sold.
great mini review Paul. i got to admit the ute looks much better in the field than in pictures , it's proportions and styling are leagues ahead of last gen triton, interior looks nice without going over the top , a bit worried about that screen in the good old Aussie sun but any vehicle that can give you the giggles is a good un 😉
If they have sorted out the rear diff lock engagement. Then I will be buying these for my company. They are reliable I have driven Mitsubishi for years . living in South Africa this bakkie is appealing because the chances of being shot for it are basically nil compared to it competitors such as Ford and Toyota . Now we need a phev bakkie 😊
@@henkstols9326 nothing wrong with it.. just when the diff is engaged the front wheels lose traction .. basically turns into a 2 wheel drive with difflocker
Loved my Tritons and Pajero Sport so eager to see how this performs just sad we did not get the Pajero Sport 8 speed as it made a huge improvement over the 6 speed in the triton and fuel economy was in the high 6l/100km add that to the improvements on the engine of the 4n15 would have been even better. the Pajero sport towed the boat like a dream vs the Triton where you were left wanting a bit more power. I think it's a nice-looking ute that beats the Toyota SR5 which frankly is a massive step back comfort-wise on the old Triton already can't say I am a huge fan of my latest ute and won't be a Toyota again when It gets replaced next year this might just be the BEAST for me.
As the owner of two Pajero Sports I totally agree. Considering the PS is getting the new 150kw engine with the 8 speed auto, I'm surprised the new Triton is still 6 speed. The Aisin AE80F auto used in the PS is the same 8 speed auto used in the V8 Landcruisers so it will take all a little old 150kw Triton can dish out!
Agreed. While the MR does run shorter diffs (4.272) than the PS (3.9?), once you calculate the final drive ratio is each gear, fist is lower in the PS and 8th is about the same as 6th in the MR. The 8 speed has 6 gears to the 1:1 ratio va the MRs 4. Just much smaller gaps between shifts. The MR (and new Triton) will have 800-1000 RPM gaps between gears. In the MR, shifting up from say 4th at 3000rpm dropped you to around 2200rpm. Upshifting at 2500 dropped you too low in the rev band if towing 2.5-3.0t. Hopefully the 470Nm band from 1500-2750 is better at coping with the gearing gaps. While only 40Nm more at peak, looking at various dyno graphs online, it is going to be around 80-100Nm more in the 1500-2000rpm band. Fingers crossed.
I am excited! I can't wait to take one for a test drive! I am avid fan of the Mitsubishi 4x4 products, the Pajero and Triton are my choice of the ideal 4x4. Looking forward to trading my VW Tiguan on a new Triton in 2024.
I am owner of the current gen of triton (MR). Love the front of the new triton looks tuff definite improvement there. Also like the fact that there is less overhang behind the rear wheels. I payed 48k for my gls in 2020 so a 12k increase in price is shocking. Gotta admit not a fan of the steering wheel, gauge cluster doesn't look as good as the mr imo, & the fact that the infotainment unit is not integrated looks like an after thought. Hope they fixed the vibration when towing & throttle lag issue as in my mr it was bad, although did notice it wasn't as noticeable after installing a snorkel to the vehicle
It's fairly clear that with the new twin sequential turbos, it has fixed that lag issue. Also the body and chassis changes, combined with the engine upgrade, will no doubt fix the towing issues. I think they've nailed it with this ute, not too many things I would fault.
Another good review Paul, having owned the previous model I was really hoping for something good and you certainly highlighted the good points here. It'll be great once you've done the on-road test to get an overall view of what this car is for the money that you're spending, well done😊
As a family man, I am eagerly looking for new pajero sport. I love the current gen, but due to its roof mounted top tethers n narrow body, I swayed away. This triton looks promising, though I m still not sure about that front look.
Really like what Mitsubishi have done with the new triton. Had a 2011 model put a huge amount of kms on it over 7 years never missed a beat never had any mechanical failures. Brought a 2018 Holden Colorado after putting 150,000kms on it had a shudder in it from around the transmission. Definitely going back to the reliability of the Mitsubishi when the 24 model is released.
Do like it. Mitsubishi normally do take account of customer/Testers inputs and you see improvements on updates - that's if they can keep Nissan bean counters at bay.
Great review. Would've loved to see it tested somewhere challenging. It wasn't even breaking traction on that 'sand'. No question it will be my next vehicle but I'll leave it for a couple of years.
Yes already on the waiting list to test drive, reading the comments above yes agree it is disappointing no rear disk brake, thank goodness there will be plenty of aftermarket players to sort that. I will be interested to see what the rear seat room looks like, you looked very cosy leaning in during the video. Great video
Have you ever had an issue with rear drums not stopping? There is a reason trucks use drums. They keep dirt and mud out of the brake system. Technically, drum brakes are an all round good system that covers on road and off road braking, especially those who drive on unsealed roads everyday. If you need a car with only disc brakes, then you probably don't need a 4x4 ute. The current ranger raptor has a stopping distance of 44m, whereas the previous generation Triton could stop in 38m, same as the Hilux and Dmax, all of which have discs. You'd be better spending your money on slotted front discs to maintain heat dissipation rather than fitting discs to the rear
@je2338 some people just love to regurgitate everything the reviewer says without thinking. It's like when people complained about the triton having less power than all the rivals, because car expert keeps emphasizing its down on power. Little do they know The old triton with its 430nm is faster than the 500nm hilux, the bi turbo ranger, the d max , the bt 50 .straight from the factory. Why complain about power figures when it does not even matter in real world driving.
@@warcrabcyber9908 this is so true. They watch some UA-cam videos and think "wow this car and that car have coil springs and disc brakes, and an extra 20nm. It's so much better".
just got back from a trip to Thailand and there are many of these driving around the streets already in full 4wd form.... (in many different city's) so surprised your still testing "pre production models"?
We have the previous generation triton and I don't like the front seats. For me they are tight from side to side. Do you think they have used the same front seats or are they wider because the vehicle is wider?
Dear Paul, really thank you for these videos, I am from KSA and unfortunately Mitsubishi is not big as Toyota so your videos are helpful. I have some questions if you don't mind, 1- Are the seats wider ( more accommodating) than the older model? I find the older model seats not comfortable as I am overweight 😅. 2- When the the new Montero sport or pajero sport will be revealed?
For some reason, you forgot to put the active safety equipment. I always visit your videos, especially for that section. I like this car, can you please let me know how effective are the safety features - adaptive cruise, lane keep assist system, road sign recognition, speed limiter, blind spot monitoring and 360 camera work?
Thank for mentioning the RPM at which the max torque is delivered (Did I miss the same reference for Power?). An unforgivable omission in many reviews. Thanks for the conent. Cheers
Looks like a massive improvement on the old model. Is there a standard rear diff lock? The snorkel sown on your test car, is it an actual snorkel (sealed unit) or just a raised air take? Thanks for the vid
@@roguetrader08 Be interesting to see what Mitsubishi officially release as on some proto types they put any market hitch but they may release the vehicle with lower capacity. They just change the name plate on hitch, example is Prado, in some international countries Prado tows 3.5T and others 3.0T but its same bar as we get here in Australia. Don’t believe the Prototype name plates.
@@roguetrader08 don’t think it was in this review but on others yes. Hopefully the GCM is above 6000kg will be well worth looking into. They need to have push axle back another 100mm this would be ideal for tray loading of 1T.
@@alexandersupertramp1293mate I’m in both tritons and PSs forums and most of them have drivelines shudders and it’s normal apparently. All PSs has it and I own a brand new 2023 Pajero sport QF.
What’s the headroom and vision in front drivers position for a tall (6’6”) person…. Old triton headroom was ok - but almost seemed as if vision was partially obscured by the top of the windscreen/roof
Still got my mn triton and never missed a bit. Seeing the new one is convincing me to get one, the only disappointment I see is still drumbrakes in the back 😎
Great vehicle, wish we could get it in UK. Well done Mitsubishi and a particular thank you for giving it a real handbrake not the crap EPB fitted to the current Pajero Sport.
really wish you would have tried the 4h unlocked, every truck on the planet can use 4x4 in the sand, very few have an open center diff. The previous generations of triton had a viscious limited slip center diff. does the new gen? really learned nothing here about, as you said, the coolest part of triton which is super select.
Maybe a hot take here but I prefer how the previous model looks. Just can't seem to get used to the front. The previous design has such lovely angles and sharp, triangular designs! Hopefully when body kits get designed for this, it'll look more aggressive.
Is this the Navara based ute? My Navara still runs on YD25 and pretty satisfied with it, got this after passing over my Wildtrak 2.0 biturbo to my son because I just can't get used to the light steering and unnatural power curve
I know people don’t like premieres - it’s just an easy way to let everybody know we have content coming that’s under an embargo (which means we can’t publish it beforehand).

Mitsubishi Triton has a strong, 💪 big, impressive face and strong stance
Thanks for saying bakkie. 😊
Let’s hope they fixed the driveline shudder that came with the previous generation of Tritons and Pajero sports which considered “normal”
Never heard of that. Own one & in the forums
@@alexandersupertramp1293mate I’m in both tritons and PSs forums and most of them have drivelines shudders and it’s normal apparently. All PSs has it and I own a brand new 2023 Pajero sport QF.
Looks great, so Navara will also run the same car?
Great video looks great can’t wait to drive one 😎
Waiting for the triton twin turbo acceleration
What transmission did they used? As the previous triton have a very reliable aisin 6 AT.
Nice review on the triton. When are you doing a review on the Toyota Land cruiser 79 series 2024?
Yeah but do the rear windows go all the way down?
Price, rear drum brakes I don’t like but would consider buying one to replace my Nissan D40.
They’ve always been under rated and extremely well priced compared to other major brands 😎.
Paul is my go to car guy.
Mitsubishi super-select system is the best on sand!
7:00 ... did Paul drop an f bomb? 😂
😂
Is it possible to upgrade the rear brakes to disc brakes.. without voiding the warranty??
Keen to know
I wish they would improve the warranty 10 years is great but 200,000km not enough others in this class unlimited km this is what will hold me back
What’s the headroom and vision in front drivers position for a tall (6’6”) person….
Old triton headroom was ok - but almost seemed as if vision was partially obscured by the top of the windscreen/roof
Paul pls do full test for us ?.. i know older model when diff locker was engaged it lost front wheel traction... Does the same appl to this bakkie ? 😊
Keen to know what the red car up ahead of was? Didn't look like a Triton.. New Pajero Maybe?
Got one on deposit, Feb 2024👍👍, not pulling heavy loads , only a JetSki so laughing, love the look of it GSR coming my way👍👍👍
Still got my mn triton and never missed a bit. Seeing the new one is convincing me to get one, the only disappointment I see is still drumbrakes in the back 😎
I have a new Ranger with 4 wheel discs. Can’t say I can tell the difference from the drums on the old ranger. I think it’s anon issue
Great vehicle, wish we could get it in UK. Well done Mitsubishi and a particular thank you for giving it a real handbrake not the crap EPB fitted to the current Pajero Sport.
Pricing looks high but Mitsubishi has never been able to resist heavy discounts - usually after you've just bought one!.
really wish you would have tried the 4h unlocked, every truck on the planet can use 4x4 in the sand, very few have an open center diff. The previous generations of triton had a viscious limited slip center diff. does the new gen? really learned nothing here about, as you said, the coolest part of triton which is super select.
As long as I can get a cab-chassis manual 4WD I'll definitely consider it.
That's funny..I thought I heard Paul mention that the 2024 Triton has rear drum brakes...
Maybe a hot take here but I prefer how the previous model looks. Just can't seem to get used to the front. The previous design has such lovely angles and sharp, triangular designs! Hopefully when body kits get designed for this, it'll look more aggressive.
I think I may need to buy one next year 😍😍
Love the design 🔥❤️❤️🔥
It's a bucketload better looking than the last range.
❤❤ Can always rely on a Japanese brand for reliability !
Nice one, Paul
Love the new look of the triton the flat nose bigger tub. Hopefully it flows on to the pajero sport
Definitely keen when they get the tray varient out there
Seen one the other day. Must be available
That roof air circulation design though... why not put it at the back of the center console ?
What location is this filmed?
They have finally delivered a Triton that looks pretty good.
Agreed. For the first time ever I actually really like the way the Triton looks. Love the new tough and boxy design!
Is this the Navara based ute? My Navara still runs on YD25 and pretty satisfied with it, got this after passing over my Wildtrak 2.0 biturbo to my son because I just can't get used to the light steering and unnatural power curve
My own experience is that tritons, especially the first one, are more reliable and durable than most of the more hyped brands
Still value for money compared to the other well known brands.
Bizarre to me that any modern car had drum brakes. Off road tech has always been good in Mitsubishi.
Improved looks.
Were you in Peak, SA ?
When will the 7seat Pajero Sport get a refresh based on this new Triton?
a new pajero must be in works then too, right ?
Funny how they are taking some features from the Silverado and the Denali when it comes to the steps at the back of tube
