Thailand has in recent years suffered annual flooding, some of it, on a truly massive scale, which has regularly disrupted all sorts of industrial production over there, so it's not beyond the bounds of possibility at all, that your own late model Triton vehicle -could- have been a 'casualty' of those floods where it has been affected by the ingress of either fresh (well, almost..?? ) or even, salt water, whilst it's cab or chassis was sitting in the holding yard outside of the factory, waiting it's own turn to be shuffled up the queue, and onto the assembly line. European brands such as VW actually galvanise their chassis and under body parts prior to vehicle assembly, because of the common use of salt that's scattered over their icy frozen European roads in winter. Perhaps if there are enough buyers who make 'early rust perforation' claims on Mitsui's warranty, they might finally get the cost / benefit message, and decide to start galvanising their own vehicle parts too, so that they can -survive- sitting in regularly flooded, Thai assembly plant holding yards...?
