Triton Generations in Malaysia
The Mitsubishi Triton has been Malaysia's top diesel pickup for over a decade. The 2nd-gen KB series (2005–2015) used a 2.5L 4D56 SOHC diesel — durable but known for head gasket issues on high-mileage examples. The 3rd-gen D23/NP300 (2015–present) introduced the 2.4L 4N15 MIVEC DOHC diesel with better fuel economy and MIVEC variable valve timing — a significant step up. The 2019 facelift added advanced safety systems and a refreshed interior. Choose: VRZ (fully loaded) for personal use, Adventure variants for commercial versatility.
