Sorry for the photo quality - only have a dodgy phone camera at the moment. If you want photos of anything specific, just ask.

Sweet! Bang on what I want (except auto). Big difference in price over the 39990 2012's they're selling?

how are the seats, how do they adjust?? just lift the whole lot at once, or front and back separately?

bottom pic looks like an update glx club cab, same grill, but has mirror indicators and side mouldings (previously only on glx-r), plus diff tub stickering (vehicle could also be another country's spec, ie, thailand or south america. usually stickering/badging differs market to market). note that 2013 update info was for glx-r only... lower models may not change as much, ie, retain a-pillar aerial ala rc colorado lt-r vs lx/dx). was at a dealership this week and had a 2012 glx dc and a 2013 glx dc next to each other... i didnt see anything diff between them...
I know it's early days but what's a good suspension lift for the new triton? My dealer says its really only the interior that's change so upgrades to the suspension should still be the same.
I've heard mixed reviews about old man emu? Any thoughts guys
Cheers .

Have done nearly 1000km in it, and I love it.

$40800 driveaway + $595 tonneau cover + $995 tow bar.

Seats are nice and comfy - drove 6 hours straight yesterday and felt fine. Only played with the driver's seat, but there is a knob that you turn to raise and lower the horizontal base part of the seat (the bit you sit on) which is independent from the upright back rest part of the seat. As you raise the base, it seems to go forward a bit.

Weirdly, the passenger headrest is leather, but all other headrests are cloth... surely they have accidentally fitted the wrong headrest at the factory?

Ha, ha tell them they have incorrectly fitted three cloth headrests, they should all be leather.

Mitsubishi website has finally been updated for the MY13 specs. Not much of an upgrade other than the side & curtain airbags being standard.

Hi,

Just spoke to a dealer at the Melbourne Leisurefest who assured me that the same Triton will soldier on in 2014, no increase in towing capacity to 3.5 ton to match the others.

Hey guys,
not sure if aust is behind the rest, but my missus uncle has a April 2012 triton hear in malaysia(Sabah).now his or any others here dont say or badge as GLX-R just LS but its same interior as my Sept 12 GLX-R bar his has leather, but the difference is his has indicators in mirrors but not the middle mount aeriel :( , also its badged as triton not L200, has did badge with the 2.5, also factory front and rear parking sensors. :x :x strange the thing is before my Aus model but the model before his, say Feb 12 dont have indicator mirrors,, His looks so much like the MY13 Aus model but badged as Apr12..are we that behind the rest of the world?..Pics below I hope work.. oh and yes the rear step is standard for there new model, the older has the plastic step like mine. And his factory mags look better.
