ok so its not that great a triumph but any way, my lovely girlfriend has the early shift today and when i got up i found a surprise. she had parked behing me and her keys were in her handbag.

anywho, i got out the tape measure, i had 1200mm back to the mazda, 1000mm forward to the house, and a 1880mm wide gap between the mazda and the letterbox to get out.

MMA site says the Triton overall width is 1800mm

photo attached was taken with my back on the house where the ute was

you should have let my wife do it, she managed to turn a little early leaving her parking spot at the supermarket yesterday & thanks to a trolley bay I now need a new drivers door skin & I don't know how they will fix the sill underneath

HI all,
I live on 25 acres and my girlfriend manages to block me in on a regular basis with no chance of getting out.

Well done Tritonasaurus, you have made me think When my GLXR arrives, I may be able to combat her parking skills.... My old triton is a pain for turnign circle and tight spots, good to see Mitubishi have addressed this...

The old Tritons had a turning circle like a mack truck.

I remember when i was comparing tritons to all the other competitors when i was looking to buy the thing i noticed in the specs was the new triton has the best turning circle of the lot now 8-)

What's the difference between a radical femanist and a hippopotamus?

About 20 kgs and a pair of overalls
