Common Problem

TL;DR

• Bending issues when overloaded • Cylinder head problems in older models • Paint and suspension wear over time • Shuddering issues in some models

Structural Issues

One of the recurring issues mentioned with Mitsubishi Tritons, particularly in older models, is their tendency to bend when overloaded. This is often attributed to the design, which has more overhang over the rear wheels compared to other vehicles. While this might not affect all users, it's a significant consideration for those planning to carry heavy loads.

Engine and Mechanical Concerns

Some Tritons have experienced cylinder head problems, especially in high-powered engines from earlier models. However, Mitsubishi has been known to honor repairs even years after purchase. It's recommended to check if these repairs have been done when considering a used vehicle. Additionally, timing belt replacements are crucial around the 200,000 km mark, as neglecting this can lead to expensive repairs.

Paint and Suspension Wear

Owners of the MQ Triton have reported issues with paint quality, particularly on white models, where it tends to wear away in small areas. The stock suspension may also require replacement after significant mileage, which can be an additional cost if opting for a lift kit or upgraded components.

Shuddering and Transmission Issues

There have been reports of shuddering in the rear end under acceleration, particularly noticeable when driving uphill. While Mitsubishi is aware of this issue, there hasn't been a definitive fix identified. Some manual transmissions have also been known to slip out of third gear, but Mitsubishi typically addresses this problem free of charge.

Perception and Market Position

Despite these issues, many owners find the Triton to offer good value for money, especially when compared to more expensive competitors. The perception of Tritons being inferior is often attributed to their use as fleet vehicles, which are frequently subjected to rough use without proper maintenance. However, many users report positive experiences, emphasizing reliability and affordability.
