New Mitsubishi Triton made for work as well as play - Drivesouth
so much about the Mitsubishi Triton - from specification and design thought to launch planning - seems tailored for them. From way back when it was the L200 in the 1970s, the rural sector has been the biggest supporter of Mitsubishi's one-tonners: up to 60% of sales go country, he attests. That is why Mitsubishi Motors New Zealand plans to be in top form for the annual National Fieldays at Mystery Creek. Here, MMNZ considers it will have the spotlight virtually to itself, insofar as truly new product goes. Utes are commanding 20% of new vehicle sales at present and MMNZ is confident the Triton will achieve at least 2500 for the remainder of the year. While still around half of last year's Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger counts, the new target doubles the Triton's 2014 count and would ''pass the Holden Colorado and the Nissan Navara and move us into third spot'', Cook said. Mitsubishi has acknowledged the Triton - at least in its flagship GLS double-cab diesel auto form - has to conform to increasing use as a recreational/family vehicle. Active stability and traction control, hill start assist, trailer stability assist, adjustable speed limiter and emergency stop signal function all feature. Source: www.drivesouth.co.nz
