Interesting fact! The Mitsubishi Group was established in Japan in 1870. And since then she has never changed her logo. Three well-known rhombuses symbolize three diamonds, "three whales", on which the whole concept of the concern rests: honesty, responsibility and readiness for cooperation.

So how do you make a choice? Off road, we put the Mitsubishi Triton GLX-R through its paces over some rather large dirt mounds and narrow trails. They all offer four-wheel drive and similar sporting styles. Josh Bennis Dec 13,

For some, having ute space and four-wheel drive capabilities is vital. No one will argue that the Mitsubishi Triton GLX-R is a masculine car to look at, with features like chrome mirror covers, chrome roll bars and front nudge bar, six-spoke alloy wheels, and side runners. The diesel is by far the pick of the engines in the Triton stable, with torque coming on like a hurricane through the Wild West, it propels the Mitsubishi Triton GLX-R through the gears as fast as your average family sedan.

The second you demand power, the engine responds with a rush of boost from the single turbo layout, with minimal turbo lag.

It holds the gears very relative to how much acceleration you want like a good lock-up automatic gearbox should. Off road, we put the Mitsubishi Triton GLX-R through its paces over some rather large dirt mounds and narrow trails. Through our test section of dirt, the GLX-R performed well, with its factory, more-suited-to-the-street rubber the initial limiting factor to its off-road potential.

With chunkier tyres, we have no doubt it will get you through most leisure weekend trails. Suspension-wise, the front is double wishbone with coil springs, and the rear is rigid elliptic leaf spring.

Cargo area in the back is deep, and long enough to fit two dirt bikes, provided you keep the tail gate down. As far as braking performance, front ventilated discs with single piston calipers and rear drums leading and trailing shoes feel solid, but perhaps a tad spongey. It is a braking system that is engineered to pull up epic payloads; kg, kg braked trailers full of sand… you get the picture.

The front seats are supportive, and comfortable for long journeys, as well as soft enough in the rough stuff. The back seats do have adults in mind, although leg room is only just okay. You can find yourself quite relaxed in the Triton up front, with your arm on the window sill. The in-dash display will keep you amused at traffic lights, displaying current temperature, barometric pressure, height above sea level elevation , and a compass so you know your way home in case you get lost out bush.

The stereo looks a bit dated, as is often the way with some Japanese vehicles, but as a light commercial truck, the sound quality is acceptable. They all offer four-wheel drive and similar sporting styles.

So how do you make a choice? The Triton in our opinion is one of the better looking of the bunch, it has curves in the right places, and even a face that appears to be smiling… in a Mitsubishi kind of way.

It performs well, and is relatively easy to drive, though the five or so turns lock-to-lock might tire some people. Tough is a good way to describe it. In the end, like with any new car you buy, it comes down to personal preference. The new-generation Triton is a thoroughly equipped and capable machine.
