2015 Mitsubishi Triton review | first drive - Cars Guide
So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that “pick-ups” are now the third most popular type of vehicle in Australia after small cars and SUVs. These workhorse utes were initially built to much lower standards for our neighbouring Asian countries, but most new generation models now meet the same high safety standards as regular cars -- in Australia at least. But there is still a large gap between new and old utes, because their model cycles typically last 10 years -- about twice as long as passenger car updates. Which is why it’s a big deal when an all-new model arrives. The Mitsubishi Triton is the first all-new model of its breed in 10 years and leads a charge of five new or heavily revised models over the next six months. The all-new Nissan Navara is due next month , followed by updated versions of the Ford Ranger and Mazda BT-50 in July and then, in October, the big gun arrives, the first all-new Toyota HiLux in 10 years, the successor to Australia’s top-selling... Against this backdrop you could be forgiven for thinking car makers would give their absolute all when creating their new generation machines. After all, they’ve had 10 years to come up with new ideas and their all-new model must last another decade. Source: www.carsguide.com.au
