Mitubishi Triton 4X4 $29990 Drive Away

Mitubishi Triton 4X4 $29990 Drive Away

I've been researching dual cab utes and have come up with this Gem. Speaking with a Mitsubishi Dealer the Company is apparently offering nearly $10,000 in savings for private or ABN buyers. At the moment it is cheaper than the 4X2. The majority of the utes, in stock, are white. The deal is said to be for Tritons ordered and delivered by the end of the Month however common sense would say it will be extended until the end of next month.

Some Dealers Are Trying To Sell The Last Of the 2012 Stock. MAKE SURE THE BUILD DATE IS 2013 or Ask For An Extra $1000 off!!!

If you want a new dual cab 4X4 all I am saying is compare the Triton then make up your own mind.

I for one am getting a new one in my car port!

    It's not a ute it's a pickup truck. Utes are based on car platforms (unibody), and include the Falcon ute and Commodore ute. Trucks are based on ladder frames.

    We've got a mix of base model Triton and Hilux utes at work. Road noise in the Triton cab is loud, but in every other respect it is better than the Toyota. The Triton has auto and cruise control, Hilux doesn't. The Hilux don't even have grab handles above the windows. Come to think of it, other than air con the Hilux has all the features of a Datsun 180B.

    • clandestino on 11/05/2013 - 09:05

        • UFO on 11/05/2013 - 17:35

          I always loved the Hilux, but considering how strong the aussie dollar has been over last few years, absolutely no reason why they are still such a rip off. But I guess that's Toyota's business model of late, all their cars are over priced when you compare them to what else is out there.

  • sillyhead on 11/05/2013 - 07:48

    Few things to know about the triton, I went for a test drive and did some research the last time this deal was out.

    The good,

    Nice and big inside for the outside dimensions, Its was a good deal for what you got for your money, The Glx has all the perks you really need. i.e. bluetooth, cruise etc. If you can order one (not just get dealer stock) the $750 rear diff lock option would be a bargain. If you car just let you down and need a manual ute and have $30k only it a good deal. The gearbox is slick for a mitsubishi and seems to shift well.

    The bad,

    The 2.5Lt diesel has a timing belt which will need replacement every 100k.

    Steering is a little vague compared to the competitors.

    This model had a problem with unburnt sludge feeding back through the EGR into the plenum chamber of the motor, apparently MM has re-design the plenum to help solve it.

    The 4 spd (GLX) and autos have their torque de-tuned from 400nm to 350nm. Mitsubishi wont say why. The deal failed to discuss it. The auto might be a bit weak I assume and they de-tuned to prevent heavy footed bloke cooking them while towing. It can be chiped up or re-tuned. Ive heard they can be re-tuned to big power acutally. Like 160kw / 480nm land.

    The car seems to be a bit lacking off the bottom end. I Seemed to be always driving one gear lower than the hilux 3.0td. Maybe it takes time to get used to it. The I drove the GLS which has a lower final drive gear ratio. Its got 3.7s vs 3.9s on the glx. Seemed to me for a lot of shifting gears and revving higher (thus louder) than a comparable diesel. Couldn't seem to hold gears like other diesel I have driven.

    Its still a great car for the money, I think if my current 4x4 was taken out of the picture and I HAD to buy a truck that week for my bugdet I definetly would have bought it. but If you have the money the holden colorado driveaway is an equivalent deal. Its definetly 25% more car. I think the triton is about as good as the hilux from 2 years ago. And if you just want a light trade ute for work and such thats fine. Whereas if you are planning on buying a dual cab as a daily of instead of (or replacing) a 4x4 wagon. The colorado is just a way nicer drive.

  • goyourself on 11/05/2013 - 09:32
    +2

    that is a bloody good deal! I'm tempted but without the ancap5 and not finding any internal ROPS to bring this inline with mine spec gonna have to miss out.

  • konazz on 11/05/2013 - 09:33
    +1

    Yeah. Mitsubishi is having some deals. Mate picked up a brand new Challenger 4x4 for $32k d/a

    • MATTDAMON on 12/05/2013 - 21:05

      Crazy, i paid 44k for my Manual LS challenger :(

      Anyways, for those who care, Tritons have a ladder chassis and they do pretty well offroad, especially once you put a decent set of AT or MT tyres on them.

      Good deal thats for sure.

      That being said Isuzu are doing the LS-M dual cab for 40k on the road currently, worth considering if you want something just a touch nicer, and it has the legendary 3.0l TD, which is probably one of the best diesels still being sold.

  • sillyhead on 11/05/2013 - 09:53

    Yeah fully the one this this deal does do is kill the Great wall idea for a 4x4 diesel.

    The more cars deals on this site, the better!
    Great post and although the 'price' of 29k is not for all, sharing this information to a wide audience only promotes better knowledge amongst current and future car buyers. Research shows people living in Australia purchase 6+ cars in their lifetime.As they say, cars are the second biggest purchase we make, so the more information about deals, the more informed we all are.

    • Cheeper on 11/05/2013 - 11:12
      +3

      Agree… as long as they are advertised prices. Car deals are usually negotiated individually and what one person buys for may not be attained by the next person. Price matching does not apply with cars worst luck.

      I just did a check on Carsales for a new Kluger 2wd base model… prices ranged from $36,000 to $48,000 drive away !!! It sure is worthwhile checking around before you go out shopping for a new vehicle.

      Another problem with giving price feedback on deals people get is when they have traded another car in. That can distort all the numbers as some dealers top load their pricing to give amazing trade ins and all sorts of other tricks.

      • Matt P on 11/05/2013 - 14:42
        +2

        the D40 navara is similarly "aged" like this triton, we'll see a new one before long. You would buy based on price IMO at this point in the market. For $26k and dual cab (like that link posted above), all you would get would be a D22 and the triton shits all over the D22 from a great height

  • CCDee on 11/05/2013 - 11:54

    +4

    Can I click and collect?

  • sillyhead on 11/05/2013 - 12:54

    The D22 (old shape navara) has some driveaway deals on it. Its pretty solid and still made in Japan (no other ute is) but its getting pretty old in the tooth. the 2.5lt motor in the nissan is real laggy down low. The D40 is the yanky shape navara and around $40k driveaway. Plus nissan has gone to the dogs lately I reckon in build quality.

    I think the triton is a better deal than D22 navara, and pretty much better than the d40 ' xcept for th smaller tray. But the New Colorado, Ranger and BT-50 are just on a different level to these old designs.

    Trust me went in a run in my mates new colorado with a 6sp auto yesterday and its a completely different level of car. The uncle has a new BT-50 and thats nice as well, but its too dear, bang for buck its all colorado.. Those cars can impress a Prado or Pajero buyer.

    These tritons look like they would be better off road though due to the smaller size and better approach and departure angles. And they a cleverly designed of still be a good size in the cab.

    • mintlin on 11/05/2013 - 16:42

    We picked up our new 4wd Triton yesterday & I believe we got a cracker of a deal. For $31250 we got a GLX, with a tub liner, tinting, back step, tow bar, floor mats, soft cover & a nudge bar. This was from Cricks at Maroochydore.

      Excellent work, you probably saved about 15k off the full retail price. I quite like mine. And the price is brilliant,
