I’ve just come back from a track where the running board rubbed on the side of the ruts, less than five minutes ago. Mine is a 2023 Ranger Wildtrak twin turbo. Yesterday it had a 150 mile run at 80mph down a motorway and the day before it towed nearly four tons of cattle up and down some steep minor roads and some Welsh twisty A roads. The day before it was carrying a full 1000 litre IBC of water from one place to another. I also have a 2014 2.2 auto Ranger Limited that works equally hard daily and the main issue with that one is that it regularly breaks rear leaf springs. It has had five replacements over the years, both genuine and pattern.

Hey Paul, I’m a massive fan and have been watching car expert for years. Just I guess a bit of feedback on the video and the this particular Triton. I work for Mitsubishi currently as the main brand I sell and I think you have a lot of great points in the video, however there’s a couple parts that weren’t in line with my own hands on experience with the new Triton. The parts where you got stuck in the various 4wd modes shouldn’t be happening and aren’t reflective of dealer drive day Mitsubishi organised at the RACQ driver training centre in Queensland. In the course they put us through, it performed flawlessly on the stock tyres and on stock tyre pressures. The particular 4wd track they put us on was comparitable to the course you’ve just run with uneven ruts, sharp climbs, severely off camber angles, mud, sand, water crossing and it didn’t get stuck whatsoever. The car also gained traction straight away and pulled without hesitation is every situation. One thing I noticed, the auto hold wasn’t working at all for you. I actually think the particular car you were supplied has issues because the new MV genuinely is more capable than the old MR and the MR is absolutely the mountain goat you described it as. I myself really like the suspension tuning however my on road experience has been quite urban. I agree wholeheartedly with the driver fatigue monitor and the stop start and I’m anticipating that Mitsubishi will patch these in due time. I’m really keen to see your towing test on these as I think this where it will really shine, particularly with the all new chassis. Overall, a lot of people are complaining about the the pricing in these comment section but the MV is still several grand cheaper than the comparative models in both the Hilux and the Ranger whilst actually being a much better spec’s car than the hilux (outside of the 30nm difference) and a much more reliable option than the Ranger. I’m happy they’ve had a good crack at moving away from being the cheap option to now offer a more premium dual cab at what is still a good value for money point. Just a strong point to mention with the range, the GLX is the most well equipped entry model dual cab on the market and I’d be keen to see a comparison video on all the entry dual cabs on the market as I think it’d be good for the tradies and business customers that buy these. All in all mate, keep up the great work and always keen to watch your videos.

Some things I agree with, others I don't. I've seen plenty of other reviews or videos with the MV Triton off-road performing without issue. So one has to ask, why the struggle here? User error? Trying to switch to 4H while standing still results in exactly what happened in this review - you need to be in Neutral, not Drive! This is standard when switching to 4H with the Super Select II, you actually either need to be moving with foot off the throttle and it'll engage within seconds or stationary and in Neutral, same going from 2H to 4HLC. Going to 4HLC from 4H at a standstill will switchover in seconds just fine I've found. I tried switching to 4H without moving in my GSR and in the Mrs Pajero Sport this morning, does the same thing as his video. And how did we go from doing an initial review throwing it around sandy hills like it was nothing, to oh it's struggling on our off-road course? Something isn't right there! There's more to pick apart from this video, but I'd be typing for ages. I'm certainly not a Triton fanatic, but this review just makes the Triton look incredibly incompetent off-road or a shit ute all round, has been set up to fail I feel.

Owned a MN and MR triton. The MN had mechanical levers. The MR the same electronic actuation as the MV. 2H to 4H on the move or stationary was always flawless. 4HLC was typically delayed, in N and stationary. 4LLC more often than no needed the change to be cancelled and the vehicle to be moved backward or forward with multiple attempts (or a long wait). Compared to a Hilux or the Ranger it was a slow system to shift into low range.

I've been looking forward to this

Waiting for the 2024 dmax review from paul❤

Very fair review Paul, been following you and the team since the early CarAdvice days. Just purchased this as my first new car and having had it for two weeks, must say I am very happy except for two things, stop start and driver monitoring. Both get turned off as soon as I get into the car. Why a Triton for me? Never owned a ute but I had one for a few months for one of my previous jobs (2000 Hilux non turbo diesel, loved it) and with a small bub and my role at work it’s what I wanted/needed. Liked the look when it was released mid last year, so I shortlisted a Triton, a Dmax, a BT50 and a wildcard, a Cannon. The Navara was too old and small in the back, the Musso was great but didn’t have adaptive cruise and who knows about Ssangyong solvency, the Hilux is dear for a 10 year old ute and then the Ranger; honestly really wanted one, but the reliability stories and the price ruled it out. Test drove the Mitsubishi first and loved it (feels like a modern Pajero) and the softness was a positive as I will do a lot around town. The steering was the thing that sold me with the modern interior, and the engine was smooth and reasonably quiet with plenty of punch. Dmax had the best seats but was a generation behind and was what I’d buy if I needed a workhorse not a ute with a family. The biggest surprise was the Cannon, which had me stumped. It was 85-90% of the car for 65% of the price. It drove well enough, interior was nice, and was well built. The thing that got me was the notchy steering and the slightly underpowered engine. I picked a GSR due to the fact that once depreciation was considered the triton wasn’t that much dearer (although I was lucky I got a very generous fleet discount). Of the 4cyl utes this is the pick, it’s by no way perfect but I think most Aussies will appreciate the softer ride (much better when towing and/or 100kgs in the back), the steering and a 10 year warranty. But I will be buying the kit to disable the stop start system when it’s released, and any kit to at least turn the sound off for the driver monitoring system!

I don't understand why manufacturers make the dash cupholders available only on higher trims. Even the Ranger does this! How much do they save by removing the dash cupholders for the lower trims? Lol.

Hi Paul. Great review as usual. But I felt it a bit .... rushed? I bought a GSR two weeks ago (New Gen) and love it. With a few "dang, I wish they would fix that" thrown in. I have not experienced the problems you experienced changing modes. But then again, I followed the Mitsubishi guidelines and put it in Neutral first ;-) I also remember your clear favourite, the Raptor, failing on the hill climb. And needed front, middle and rear diffs locked. And the Raptor has FAR more aggressive tyres. I think doing "offroad" tests of any four wheel drive should be on matching rubber. It's the first thing any person heading offroad will upgrade on their car. So, when you get to the 2024 Ute test, please put the same tyres on each vehicle. Rubber off the showroom floor is practically useless offroad. As mentioned everywhere the driver distraction and engine cut off are both significant annoyances. Mitsubishi would be better served by remembering the setting the driver selected between drives. Having to turn them off EVERY drive is just frustrating. Hopefully they might fix this in a software update. The biggest issue I have found is in towing. Yes. Odd. I have a caravan weighing in at 2.7T loaded. On undulating roads, it felt bloody unsafe when I first towed. Then I learned not to fight it and let it do it's thing. Much better. Hitting undulations on the road at 100k's is a new pair of undies experience the first time around until you master the "don't fight it" technique. But, the suspension is way to soft to tow anything over 2.5T IMHO. Your upcoming tow test will no doubt be an eye opener for everyone. I think as the aftermarket suppliers ramp up, a new suspension setup is on the cards. The driver assists are awesome. But again, you need to get used to them, as there are a few interesting behaviours, particularly if you haven't had a "modern" car before. The adaptive cruise control. It's great considering I am coming from an NX Pajero which has cruise, but is not adaptive. Two times though, I had to take a deep breath. The first I was in peak hour traffic, doing about 80kph on the freeway with the cruise set at 100. Sitting nicely behind a vehicle in front, I was cool McCool with my adaptive cruise control on, speeding up and slowing down with the traffic. Then a motor bike went past me on the passenger side splitting lanes between the cars. I guess he was doing 90-100kph. In an instant the Triton sped up very quickly to catch the bike. I'm not sure if it was me jumping on the brakes, or if it came to it's senses, but it slowed down before I plowed into the car in front. Certainly woke me up. The next was when following a car in the right lane at 70 on a dual carriage way with a median strip in the middle. Car in front moved right into a turning lane and I was going straight ahead. However, the car slowed down significantly (as it was turning right), and the Triton jumped on the brakes and slowed down to to match it (about 30 kph) in the right lane with cars behind me. And I now had a clear lane ahead slowing to a stop. I stomped on the accelerator. Another pair of undies to wash. It does say in the drivers manual cruise control only to be used on the freeway. But really? Having said all that, do I like it? Damn right I do. Do I regret bying it? Not at all. Would I buy something else next time? Nope. Well. Probably not. To me it came down to what I got for my hard earned. It was quite a bit less than a similar spec 4cyl Ranger, and WAAAY less than a V6 Ranger. And I refuse to pay the Toyota tax. With the towing observations above, it is still a great towing vehicle. Hills that the Pajero struggled with are no problems for the Triton. It's got all the power I need and there was not a single hill that made it drop below the speed limit. And it's quite a bit more economical than the Pajero. Probably very similar to the Ranger 4cly I imagine. And for me, it is insanely comfortable around town and for long drives.

Unbelievably disappointing. I was so hoping this new model would be a step forward in many ways but it’s perhaps one forward and two back.

@DW-10

12 күн бұрын

Definately a step forward. Maybe not a leap, but a step, in every way. Go for a drive. It isn't a V6 Ranger but it is much better than the MR Triton.

1. Putting a piece of tape over the driver distraction monitor doesn't fix it. It just goes nuts binging and bonging with a message saying "i cAnT sEe YoUr FaCe". 2. The trick with super select is to change mode, give it some gas then let go of the throttle, it'll engage much faster, and that's what my Pajero Sport manual tells you to do.

I got the 2024 GLS and if they didn’t have the auto stop start and the driver monitoring system I’d be 100% happy, can’t even call those tyres AT, wouldn’t even think of taking mine off road until I get proper tyres.

Hey paul i noticed that it has a stop and go option. If you will always use or turn on that feature i am concerned about the turbo lifespand.

I think this new Triton will make for an interesting "Old vs New" comparison. Surprisingly in many ways, the old Triton outperforms the new one especially off road. I also recon that the older lighter Triton is just as quick in a straight line.

Thanks

Hi Paul! Just for the hill descent control speed, I believe, can be adjusted by pressing the accelerator pedal apparently. Also would @carexpert redo this review using a different triton? Seems like there was some injustice done in this review especially in the off road section. Also what did you mean when you said hill read regraded?

Hard to believe a 24 model vehicle , worth the best part of 70K, still comes with analogue instrument panel and hasn’t got led lights all round

Apart from the generational engine failures the Mitsubishi is a fine truck, if you like its driving position and suspension comfort. And they have only now uprated them to tow 3.5 tons. The previous generations only allowed this when towing three axle trailers for some reason, certainly in Europe. No longer an issue in Europe of course, because they [and Nissan] have ceased to sell in that vast market.

Well if you are lucky I guess. Previous gen 4x2 model put some headache to my father, coz traction control are having with error after a year of highway driving 60K run. As per recommendation, change module only, which is cost you a little extra money compare to other brand.

Can I please suggest another test? Try removing the spare wheel on these utes and putting them back again. I remove these daily and some of them are so difficult to do. Would be great for you to experience how each of these setup work and assess them accordingly.

I've watched many of these Ute reviews and just wonder about the usefulness of the traction control test in 2WD on the offset mogul. Surely if the vehicle has 4WD, as a driver it would make more sense to use its full capabilities to get you through an obstacle. A moose test or something on a slippery surface would be more valuable to me as a buyer to test traction and stability control.

You can probably do a moose/roo test included in your future testing...

Finally a tough looking Triton, great review... realistic for most of us. I like that it has drum brakes on the rear ... drum brakes offer significantly better braking when under load so i can understand why they use drums... Hilux also use drums for this reason.

Finally!

Well done on pricing)))

Wouldn’t get a ford mate, especially a 4x2 unless you plan on not taking it off-roading

It does have a hill hold function and your hill decent speed is changed by changing your speed with the accelerator.

you need the rear diff locked for the obstacle, or use left foot braking...

Why not use the diff lock at the end of the first obstacle just to show how much easier is (should) be

Not sure why you assumed that the centre diff lock would make any difference to the two axle twister? It would make a difference if there was a big traction difference between the front and back axles though, which wasn’t the case with your twister test. Also if all four wheels are spinning equally, as on that hill, no system invented will create extra traction. You will need skyhooks and warp drive.

towing test please. not seen one done yet. live on a farm so that is important to us.

Well straight away it's been compared to a Ranger. Also there's a bit going on in this review that is concerning, for example the whole won't switch to 4H and taking forever is because it's been done wrong. If you're at a standstill, to go from 2H to 4H it needs to be in Neutral and then it changes within seconds. If changing while moving, foot of the throttle and in a straight line and under 100km/h. It's always been that way and also noted on the sticker at the bottom of the drivers door (or manual if anyone can be bothered looking in there). While yes, the driver monitor is annoying, every other gripe seems a bit blown out. 1 month of ownership of my GSR and there are zero regrets or buyer remorse or feeling of missing out because I don't have a Wildtrak (which was my first preference). Anyway there's enough off-road video's online to show that the Triton performs just fine while being put through its paces.

In the market for a new dual cab and trade the 3.2 Ranger so would love to see a tow test as that's what I want it for

Towing test please

I've always had a soft spot for the L200 and its quirks. I was looking forward for this review for some time, now i wish i haven't seen it. Really disappointing they managed to get these little thing so wrong, hopefully they can get it sorted.

A triton review bought to you by Ford! How can you compare the MR driving up a dusty dry slope to the MV doing it in damp conditions with tyres full of Mud. Expected better from car expert, guess everyone has employees to pay though.

That's exactly what's missing from all these video reviews, is a comparison of headlight performance. I went from a MQ GLS with xenon headlights to a MR GLX+ (work vehicle) and the later has aweful lowbeam performance.

I would love a 4x4 that goes the opposite route to most car manufacturers these days and by that I mean they give us a car with a good engine, disc brakes all around, front and rear lockers standard and absolutely no additional creature comforts like aeb, driver distraction monitoring etc, to cut down on drive away price so that it could be around the $30,000-$35,000 price range. I currently have a 2014 PC challenger and I've not once complained that I don't have aeb, but I would love a front locker. Even if car manufacturers when selling 4x4's opted for their higher tier models to have things like uhf, suspension upgrades, lift kits, instead of these driver assists. I know it's unlikely but I'd absolutely buy a new car if it was bare bones and had a price to show it. So many cars have unnecessary features which add unnecessary cost

I recently drove one of these and to me this isn’t the upgrade I hoped it would be, feels like a cheaply built ute that’s lost its biggest advantage….the price! Shows that it doesn’t matter how much a car costs people will still Buy it, if it’s good.

Would love to see the towing for the this Triton.

Unsealed 4x4's review seems to show otherwise. Their testing showed that the newer Triton had a better 4WD system compared to the previous generation.

That's because unsealed 4x4 actually knows how to drive four wheel drives and not Tesla's and electric porches lol

@@richardtimms6645 Paul actually owns a Ranger Raptor v6, so he know's how to drive a four wheel drive....

Err the Tritons have had a 3.5ton towing option for a long time the MR series all 4x4 models are 3.5 ton rated, they come standard with the 3.1 but the 3.5 hitch has always been an option you can select at purchase.

The fact that you can drive in 4wd high range on sealed surface is fantastic in 2024.

I agree. Although Mitsubishi have had this feature for decades. My old 1993 Pajero could do the same. Currently have a 2016 Triton, I can't remember the last time I drove it in 2wd.

Purchased a new gls mr triton in 2020, payed $48,900 with quite a few extras included in the price. I can honestly say i fail to see where the justification for another 10k is warranted considering the mr still does a few things better. Mitsubishi better be careful, as at this rate they may price themselves out of the market if there not careful.

its more than 10k on road

What is that sound? Is that the engine or the transfer case? Sounds like dirt.

Hi Paul, really good long awaited review. They need to either shave off $5000-7000 from the price or take it back and fix the $70k unacceptable poor tunes. I get what Mitsubishi is going for here, but the price defeats that philosophy.

@CarExpertAus yes Paul, it does say A/T but it's clearly an A/T aimed at retaining reasonable HWY traction, low road noise and primarily gravel road grip. It's not in the category of the A/T fitted std to your Raptor, is it? Even you couldn't say they are are A/T tread pattern when compared to you BFGoodrich K02 which is what viewers expect a A/T tread pattern to look like. I used to run Perelli Scorpion A/T's on my on road car, as I knew it would be better suited for gravel and more puncture resistant, but they were totally useless on grassy inclines for grip (sorry Perelli). An experienced man like yourself can see what I'm implying, some A/T's don't have tread pattern to grip, just as these on the Triton clearly don't. KO2's would make a huge difference, yet they are still categorised as A/T but have a tread pattern you'd expect a A/T to have. Thats why there are so many comments here, "They're not A/T's" which the tread pattern clearly aren't of the std off roaders expect an A/T to have. No one purchasing after market A/T's would even consider this tread pattern.

Why does every car reviewer call incandescent lights halogen? Or do you do it because it makes you think it makes you sound smarter and more knowledgeable?

Some incandescent lights, specifically usually main and dipped beam bulbs, are indeed of the inert halogen gas filled type.

I would like to see a comp with the old version

Well it's a driver distraction monitor... it monitors the driver and makes sure to distract them :)

What a lemon

Looking at what you get with the top spec model, the corners cut here and there for 60k... tbh I rather take a chance on a Chinese brand top spec LDV or Great Wall....

Wow, what a nugget.

The camera is so good. Nissan needs to learn from this.

Wonder if they have changed their key components 4wd system supplier, Maybe Nissan's controlling share has has an impact (2016, 1 year after the release of their prior 5th generation) . Potentially trying to reduce costs across their various brands (Renault, Nissan, Mitsubishi).
