2014 Mitsubishi Triton GLX-R auto review03:35 - Cars Guide
The ML-generation Mitsubishi Triton has been on the market since 2006, but it’s still a year newer than the segment-leading Toyota Hilux and Nissan Navara utes. The Triton GLX-R is the four wheel drive dual cab at the top of the Triton light commercial range, and the big question is whether it can hold a candle to much newer rivals like the Ford Ranger, Mazda BT-50, Holden Colorado, Isuzu D-Max and... The $48,240 Triton GLX-R auto competes well for value, and significantly undercuts the top-spec $54,490 HiLux SR5, $59,390 Ranger Wildtrak and $61,490 Amarok Ultimate. The ML Triton was one of the first dual cabs to really consider back seat occupant comfort, and it’s still a comfortable place to be, but lacks the storage space behind and underneath the seat found in newer models. The GLX-R auto is rated with a useful 954kg payload, but the 3 tonne tow rating is 500kg less than the category best. Safety wise, the dual cab Triton scored side and curtain airbags at the start of 2013, but still carries a 4 star rating, unlike the 5 star carried by most competitors. Source: www.carsguide.com.au
