In September,
Mitsubishi showed a teaser image
of the new, redesigned Triton/L200 truck that refreshes the model originally introduced in 2014. Now, the new truck is here, except not here in the sense of being sold in the United States. Alas, we can hope.
The new Triton/L200 is a global truck in the sense that it’ll be sold in some 150 countries around the world, from Europe to Africa and Oceania, the
and Latin America, but North America isn’t part of the plan. Sales start Nov. 17 in Thailand, where the truck is built. Some 180,000 global yearly sales are planned.
Looking at the photos released by
, the truck’s nose has gained the new corporate styling direction that can also be seen on the
, the
, and even the re-facelifted
that is sold in some countries. The front design is called “Dynamic Shield” in corporate Mitsubishi language, pointing to the more pronounced grille-intake combo with chrome effect. Otherwise, the basics of the Triton remain as before, with the truck likely to keep the time-honored 4G64 2.4-liter gasoline engine and two inline four
options. There are two 4WD systems on offer, either Super Select or Easy Select.
, the small truck segment is hotly contested in the U.S. right now, and the Triton, were it sold in the States, would compete against the
, the Colorado and the
, the
, and
a possible Ram truck that would slot underneath the 1500
. But the 25 percent Chicken Tax it’s subjected to as a foreign-built truck makes it impossible to compete. The currently sold
T6 is originally of Australian design, and as well as being made in Michigan it is also produced in Thailand like the Triton.
