"......does my arse look big in this photo?"

[MR T]

the top lip of the tub is flat , not a true triton duel cab if you ask me

[boycee]

way too much overhang for my liking. stuffs up the departure angle.

Nice of them to add a protection bar to the rear. Allows you to see the difference in lenght.

Not too bad- I'll be happy if its only an option though

[rick]

note the front is still the same,even the grill is the same shape.......just has the booty, now known as the mr t

[MR T]

cant be called MR T dosnt have any bling

well rang TMR ralliart about koni shocks and they have stopped working on the ralliart triton because of this new model coming out,so we can expect the new motor also,bloody quick to change motors- 3 yrs- but 131kw from a smaller motor is great,TMR could only manage this from the 3.2 after much fiddling with the management system

[4wd26]

I god dam hope they don't go down the smaller engine, higher output route.

The 2.5 lt diesel in the Mitsubishi range has been around since the 1980's, although some advancements to the fuel system have been added. common rail etc.

Whats the current goss on the Challenger?

I'm betting whatever combo that gets the Triton will get as well. It just wouldn't make sense for Mitsubishi to put the smaller engine in.

It was the whole reason for me avoiding the Navara.

I agree.

They need to stop stuffing around and slap the NT engine into it.

cruiser v8 twin turbo diesle beasty

[Stapler401]

Does that mean the back of the ute could actually become usefull?.
Jeez they have some poofter names for the o/s model

I hope for the Triton sake it doesnt go down the path of the 2.5 motor. But the bad news is a mate of mine recently got a new Triton 2wd for his work ute and its got the 2.5 motor in it. I hope it doesnt make it to the 4wd models. For you guys sake
Six speed manual gearboxes and 2.5 motors yuk..... (Nissan)

this is what might happen with the new tub,it will probaly just bolt into the old tubs spot unless they lengthen the chassie

I wasn't a fan of the longer tub until I read about it's 'commodious cargo area'.

And it got me thinking; a tray with a commode could come in handy in all sorts of situations. For instance when caught in traffic and the need comes across you real sudden like. Just nip down a side street and off you go!
No more need for a camper trailer. With the long tray you just curl up in the back and when you get up in the morning....wallaah!

Yep, I think I'm gunna get me one. I can just picture the faces of my jealous Hilux mates when I'm sitting up there using it for the morning constitutional on our camping trips

I wonder where they put the toilet roll holder



Gee Mitsubishi what fantastic new gizmo's will you think of next


Oh......a smaller engine

[subi_man]

the mental picture I have right now is priceless

[spargo]

[boycee]

I guess thats what you have to get used to if you own a navara.

[Zantus]

The tub now looks similar to the back of my Clubcab. Mine just doesn't have that top lip.
