2015 Mitsubishi Triton Exceed Double Cab 4×4 REVIEW: Triton Puts On A Tux
The Skinny: Mitsubishi’s workhorse Triton ‘glams-up’ for the range-topping Exceed dual cab. And, no doubt about it, the Triton Exceed – exclusively a 4x4 Double Cab – successfully makes the transition from steel-capped boots to tuxedo thanks to generous equipment levels and pleasant on-road manners.
As we discovered at launch, those top-notch driving dynamics are shared across the all-new Mitsubishi Triton range. That’s one reason why we rank the Triton among the best of the current generation of working dual-cab utes.

Price: $47,490 (plus on-road costs)
Engine/transmission: 2.4-litre 4cyl turbo-diesel/ 6sp automatic with sports mode and paddle-shifters

OVERVIEW
Like major rivals in the ‘pick-up’ ute segment, the Mitsubishi Triton model range is massive. And it starts from just $24,490 (for the GLX Single Cab).
So the Exceed Double Cab with its leather-trimmed interior, thick carpets, satellite navigation and 17-inch alloy wheels (to highlight just a few of its inclusions) stands-out like a beacon as the luxury patriarch.
Underneath, the Triton Exceed shares the handy 2.4-litre turbo-diesel, dual-range 4X4 system (selected via a centre console rotary dial), 205mm ground clearance, 30-degree approach angle, 22-degree departure angle and 24-degree ramp-over angle – not to mention the 3100kgs towing capacity – of the other ‘more workhorse’ models.
