    I can't get my 2005 Mitsubishi Triton into either two- or four-wheel drive
    Answered by David Morley · 5 August 2024

    There are a lot of possibilities here. Either there’s a problem with the actual shifter for the transfer-case (that selects two or four-wheel-drive) or there might be something amiss inside the transfer-case itself. But before you try anything else, make sure that the transmission is in Neutral. Many vehicles will not shift into or out of four-wheel-drive while the transmission is in Drive or Reverse. So stick it in Neutral and see what happens.

    From memory, the 4WD selector in your ute is a mechanical lever, not one of those newer rotary knobs. So at least you won’t be trying to overcome an electronic selection problem that occurs in these later versions.

    Mitsubishi Triton 2005: Driver floor overheating.
    Answered by Graham Smith · 31 October 2019

    Clearly there’s something under the floor generating the heat. Check things like the exhaust to make sure it’s away from the underbody, check the catalytic convertor to make sure it’s not partly blocked, and check the transmission cooler to see if it’s damaged.

    What's the best dual-cab for $15,000

    My personal workhorse is a 2003 Toyota HiLux but with your bigger budget I would go for a Mitsubishi Triton.
