I was looking forward to reading about the new Triton, and saw the specs online today.

In a word - disappointed.

Things I noticed:
- still only a 5 speed auto. Competitors have had auto sixes for ages.
- Mitsubishi Super Select 4wd. Is this thing still not dead, it's been in pajeros for 24 years (only difference between the original from 1991 and now is the torque split front/rear.
- only available in 2.4. The 3.2 has not made a reappearance. Competitors generally offer a 3.0 minimum diesel. I'd hate to tow with 3.1 tonne on the back using a 2.4. It's gutsy for a 2.4 at 133kw/430nm, but not enough IMHO
- looks - mild styling change at the front, still miles behind most competitors
- drum rear brakes? Really?

About time Mitsubishi started getting with the times.

I for one will be looking elsewhere, which as a Mitsubishi fan for twenty years, makes me a bit sad!
