    Maybe Mitsu found a way past the chicken tax? Does this mean we could see an expanded lineup? Dare I say....a Delica D5: AWC Diesel?!? Sh$t I'd take a Pajero Sport over an Outlander Sport any day!

    That's definitely a triangle bump on the back of that tailgait. It can't be anything but the Tri-Diamond.

    I found this article about the 6th gen Triton truck, goes on sale 2023 apparently, and is based on the Nissan Navara. Never heard of that truck.

    So the 5th gen Triton is sold as a Fiat and as a Ram in other countries. One truck many names lol. Kinda like when GM sold Corollas as Chevys.


    "A midsize truck sold under many names, the L200 / Triton / Strada / Ram 1200 / Fiat Fullback is currently in its fifth generation.."

    The Triton pickup truck has an excellent reputation wherever it is sold. If it did come here, I hope the AWD manual models come along with the others.

    You sure it wasn't just an old Mitsubishi Raider?

    I've never heard of it either. It must be smaller than the Frontier.

    I am old enough to remember the old Raiders. This is a modern day 4-door Mitsubishi pickup truck. I am not sure if it's labeled a L200 or Triton, however.

    I envy those who have vehicles like a Triton or Suzuki Jimny enough to recognize them when I see them. I have watched a number or reviews done on the Triton in Australia, too.

    The Triton may be ruined before it gets here. No one does better vehicle reviews than John Cadogen in Australia. He liked the Triton, but that may have taken a turn for the worst in 2022.

    My biggest concern is Nissan will destroy the Mitsubishi brand. I am not alone.

    Here is what John thinks of the 2020 Triton -

    Here's his new take on the new upcoming 2022 Triton -

    If Mitsubishi just become rebadged Nissan products, the brand has really disappeared in my mind.

    Watch the 2nd clip of John I posted & tell me if you are still as excited.

    Cool looking truck. I think the Frontier is bigger. I'm not sure why Nissan never brought the Navara over to Canada, since our Frontier looks like it was designed in the 1990s.
