Mitsubishi\u2019s designers have finally parked the chrome moustache and given this ute a square\u2011jawed look that would not look lost outside a mine site or a caf\u00e9. Under the skin sits the new ladder\u2011frame chassis shared with the Thai\u2011market L200, but tuned for local conditions. Super\u2011Select 4WD\u2011II now features seven terrain modes, and braked towing climbs to 3,500\u202fkg, so the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/mitsubishi-triton\"><strong>Triton<\/strong><\/a> can finally say \u201csame here\u201d when the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/ford-ranger\"><strong>Ranger<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/toyota-hilux\"><strong>HiLux<\/strong><\/a> start bragging about trailers.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"692\" data-end=\"711\">Pros and Cons<\/h2>\n<h4 data-start=\"713\" data-end=\"723\">Pros<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"726\" data-end=\"787\">Big torque from low revs keeps you off boost lag purgatory.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"790\" data-end=\"892\">Super\u2011Select 4WD\u2011II delivers full\u2011time AWD for wet bitumen as well as low\u2011range for the rough stuff.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"895\" data-end=\"978\">Ten\u2011year warranty and capped\u2011price servicing take the sting out of ute ownership.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 data-start=\"980\" data-end=\"990\"><\/h4>\n<h4 data-start=\"980\" data-end=\"990\">Cons<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"993\" data-end=\"1088\">Halogen headlights on lower trims feel miserly in 2025.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1091\" data-end=\"1204\">The driver\u2011monitoring camera is about as forgiving as a camp\u2011site magpie.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1207\" data-end=\"1294\">GLX cab\u2011chassis still uses a vinyl floor that turns the cabin into a sauna in summer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1301\" data-end=\"1329\">How Much Does It Cost?<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1330\" data-end=\"1742\">Mitsubishi has scattered the <strong data-start=\"1359\" data-end=\"1391\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/mitsubishi-triton\">2025\u202fMitsubishi Triton<\/a> price<\/strong> band like shiny bait: from $34,490 for a 4\u00d72 GLX single\u2011cab manual up to $63,840 for the GSR dual\u2011cab pickup. Dual\u2011cab 4\u00d74 volumes start at $50,940 (GLX auto). The new Club Cab and single\u2011cab chassis variants land progressively through 2025, giving fleet buyers and tray\u2011fitters far more choice than last year.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1749\" data-end=\"1776\">Features and Benefits<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1777\" data-end=\"2572\">Calling this a facelift would be criminal: the <strong data-start=\"1824\" data-end=\"1854\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/mitsubishi-triton\">Mitsubishi Triton<\/a> redesign<\/strong> brings a stiffer frame, hydraulic cab mounts, and a cabin that finally fits adults in the rear. Every grade runs the new 9\u2011inch infotainment unit with wireless CarPlay, and GLS upward scores wireless phone charging plus LED headlights. On\u2011road the ute feels lighter in the nose thanks to electric power steering, while off\u2011road the 470\u202fNm engine, rear diff lock, and terrain control system make short work of boggy ruts, handy if your weekend involves a tinny, two eskies, and a beach permit.

Autonomous emergency braking works day and night, lane\u2011keep assist reacts gently rather than yanking, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/mitsubishi-triton\"><strong>Triton<\/strong><\/a> debuts a camera\u2011based Driver Monitoring System that judges your eyelid Olympics whenever the road gets boring.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2989\" data-end=\"3008\">Running Costs<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3009\" data-end=\"3429\">Service intervals sit at 15,000\u202fkm or 12\u202fmonths, and the capped\u2011price schedule averages $799 a year for the first five visits. The official combined cycle hovers around 7.7\u202fL\/100\u202fkm for a 4\u00d74 auto, and real\u2011world runs have shown mid\u20118s with a light load. Mitsubishi\u2019s 10\u2011year \/\u202f200,000\u202fkm Diamond Advantage warranty remains the longest in the class, long enough for a child to move from first day of school to P\u2011plates.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3742\" data-end=\"3777\">Comparison To Its Competitors<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3778\" data-end=\"4547\">Against a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/ford-ranger\"><strong>Ford Ranger XLT<\/strong><\/a> the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/mitsubishi-triton\"><strong>Triton<\/strong><\/a> gives away 400\u202fkg of GCM headroom but claws back value with a $6,000 lower sticker. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/toyota-hilux\"><strong>Toyota\u2019s HiLux Rogue<\/strong><\/a> still carries a six\u2011month warranty and a harsher ride on corrugations. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/isuzu-d-max\"><strong>Isuzu\u2019s D\u2011Max<\/strong><\/a> equals the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/mitsubishi-triton\"><strong>Triton<\/strong><\/a> on warranty length only if you buy the aftermarket extension, while the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/kia-tasman\"><strong>Kia Tasman<\/strong><\/a> undercuts on price but cannot match the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/mitsubishi-triton\"><strong>Triton<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s full\u2011time AWD.

Instead, it has listened to tradies moaning about payloads, grey nomads dreaming of towing three\u2011tonne vans, and city buyers wanting ranger\u2011rival tech. The result is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/mitsubishi-triton\"><strong>Triton<\/strong><\/a> that feels grown\u2011up without losing the brand\u2019s reputation for shrugging off abuse.
