The engine is tractable and reasonably quiet, but is certainly no rocketship. Again that’s slightly unusual these days as engines are often tuned slightly differently for each transmission, with the autos often getting a bit more torque. The engine tune is identical for auto and manual, same power and torque and peak figures at the same RPM. And while Mitsubishi claim the same weight of 1970kg for both, that is unusual as manuals are normally slightly lighter. That extra ratio is one reason why the manual returns better fuel economy – 7.2L/100km on the combined cycle vs 7.6 for the auto. The manual is the conventional six-speed. ![]() The automatic Triton is a five-speeder, which is behind the times in today’s world of seven, eight and even nine speed autos. To finish it off I’ve now taken the Triton GLS manual for a drive, so this review will be focused on the manual transmission because the previous articles cover the rest of the vehicle in some detail. ![]() Then Hannah was lent a Triton to drive to the shops but ended up in Birdsville. ![]() Paul Murrell was at the launch and wrote a first drive, I did an in-depth on/offroad test of the Exceed dualcab, and followed that up with a GLS/Exceed comparo. WE’VE DONE a bit with the Triton of late. ![]()
