Our six months with the Mitsubishi Triton has come to a close, and while our hopes to take it out and about as we normally would with a long-term test car were thwarted by the Beer Flu pandemic, it has still seen plenty of use around town.
In fact, the Triton has probably seen more varied use than other vehicles we’ve had in the shed. The old adage of ‘you’re everyone’s mate when you have a ute’ has never been truer, and the Triton has been passed around the office to tow trailers and race cars, haul garden waste, pick up hardware from Bunnings and carry motorbikes in its tray. The Triton, therefore, has proved very versatile when it comes to carrying a load in its tub, and most said it did the jobs called of it without any fuss.
