“The new tough-looking Triton is significantly more competitive and meets the diverse needs of bakkie customers around the world,” says Nic Campbell, General Manager of Mitsubishi Motors South Africa. “Mitsubishi Motors is celebrating its 40thyear of building bakkies this year. The new Triton features a host of enhancements and refinements making it even more durable and reliable for commercial users and giving leisure users the comfort and ride they desire.”
The new-look Mitsubishi Triton adopts the new Dynamic Shield language seen on other Mitsubishi products. Not only does it look fresh and modern, but its quite imposing.
