Older Mitsubishi Triton Will Soldier On In ‘Extended Runout’

Mitsubishi’s outgoing ‘MN’ Triton will continue in Australia alongside the new fifth-generation ‘MQ’ model over the coming months, on a long runout of existing stock.

Launched internationally in 2005, the fourth-generation Triton has been a huge success for Mitsubishi, making up half of all Tritons sold in Australia.

The new model, launched in Australia this week (see review here), builds on the MN’s formula with evolved styling, new powertrain and transmission configurations, and advanced new technologies.

But, with significant stocks of the MN Triton still available in Australia and on the water, Mitsubishi will position the older model at the entry end of a temporary generational partnership.
