2024 Mitsubishi Triton Summary

Mitsubishi reckons the Triton deserves to be the third best-selling ute in the Australian market. In fact, it thinks it deserves to be challenging the Ranger and HiLux for out-and-out dual-cab supremacy, but how about we start with third place and see where we go from there, hey?

Third place, of course, is currently occupied by the Isuzu D-Max, which means Mitsubishi will need to unseat it. To do it, it has launched a new-gen Triton, which is now bigger, more powerful, more practical, and has more space in the cabin.

In fact, Mitsubishi says the Triton has been improved right across the dual-cab board.

But has it done enough? Let’s find out.

2023 Ford Transit Custom Summary

Most buyers of mid-sized (2.5- to 3.5-tonne GVM) vans want them purely as workhorses and often as part of hard-working fleets.

Although these cuboid-shaped commercials are usually available in a limited choice of colours (take your pick from fridge white or freezer white) they are well designed for such roles.

However, for van buyers wanting to project more of a sporty image than the usual whitegoods-on-wheels, there’s Ford’s Transit Custom Sport. It’s been around for a few years now, so we recently put one to the test for a week to see if it’s still worthy of its unique ‘Sport’ title.
