Mitsubishi Triton
28
November
Mitsubishi Triton is the latest buzz here in Bintulu and I suspect the same goes to the whole of Malaysia. I was free enough to approach Mitsubishi Motors to take a closer look at the new car in town. Stevie, their sales rep. was kind enough to invite me to their promotion on the next day to have a go with Thailand’s 2006 Car of the Year.

As usual, the larger than life Mitsubishi logo, letting you know they’re always around. Stevie is on the left.

Triton’s backside.

Steering and dashboard.

Very clean interface.

Digital display of temperature, fuel consumption ratio, speedometer, etc.

Comes with Kenwood KDC-MP4033 CD/MP3/WMA player. Nice! Somemore, just in case you wanna change your player in the future, which I don’t think you’ll need to, it’ll fit nicely into the 1 DIN slot where the original player comes. Nowadays new cars comes with players that merge with the cockpit design, so if you wanna change your player to those on the market’s, you’ll have to buy a new cockpit panel.
Finally, word from the consumer’s point of view. I reckon the car is nicely built with outstanding aerodynamic design, the drive was comfortable and less shaky as compared to Toyota’s New Hilux Vigo over rough road condition. Worth buying, but all white colored Triton were all sold out as for now, and I had to wait till February next year for that color.
If you like this post, please consider buying me a beer.

That is a hugh beast just like the Hilux! How much does it cost?

92k+ for private commercial. But West Malaysia price sure cheaper by a few hundreds.

just been to a motor show here in Thailand and seen the new Triton ‘ Plus’ ….
The latest addition to Mitsubishi’s product offensive is the Triton Plus, which is a “high rider” version of the Triton. It comes with higher ground clearance and 4WD suspension, although it is not equipped with 4WD transmission. The Plus appeals to those who want the looks and extra ride height, but rarely venture off-road.
some of my photos here….

Hi Alex, how is your Triton so far? I believe you already bought it and enjoying it!
It is indeed a superb pick-up! But the front seats can be more comfortable. I travelled from KL-Penang and back and all I got was a backache lah.
Other than that, the monster is kool..
My blog has stuff on the Triton, if you search. Im looking forward to the 2 new other variants of the Triton today.

Guys!
Some help please…
I booked the TRITON before the recent petrol price increament.
I am worried that I can’t afford to maintain the car for my daily use.
All advices are very much appreciated.
