2025 Mitsubishi Triton Summary

The new-generation Mitsubishi Triton range was launched last year, marking the biggest change for the vehicle in a long time: a new bi-turbo engine (150kW/470Nm), overhauled design, new chassis and suspension (pushing towing capacity to 3500kg), and longer wheelbase, among a raft of changes.

Now, here’s the GLX-R, a new mid-spec variant in the Triton line-up. The GLX-R badge did exist in previous Triton generations, but the new version gets a few things, such as black alloy wheels, tailgate assist, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, over and above current-generation lower-spec vehicles.

But much more importantly, it also gets Super Select 4WD II, which is only available in higher spec Triton variants.

So, is the Triton worth your attention?

2024 Toyota HiLux Summary

Since its launch in the 1960s, the iconic HiLux has been one of Toyota’s strongest-selling models. The current eighth-generation continues that tradition, even though now in its ninth year in local showrooms and having lost its long-held 4x4 sales leadership to Ford’s Ranger.

Toyota has done a commendable job in keeping the HiLux looking fresh since its local launch in 2015, with numerous cosmetic/equipment updates and the addition of prestige models like the wide-track Rogue and performance-enhanced GR Sport.

The 4x4 HiLux’s latest upgrade is the first use of Toyota's new 'V-Active' 48V technology, which provides electric assistance to the diesel engine. Toyota claims improved fuel efficiency, acceleration and smoothness, along with enhanced off-road prowess. We recently put one to the test to see how it measures up from a tradie’s perspective.
