Assessment Summary
The Mitsubishi Triton GSR Special Edition combines a mature diesel engine with a long-proven 6-speed automatic, providing a durable powertrain baseline. The engine delivers strong mid-range torque and benefits from broad parts availability and a well-supported service network in Australia. The transmission is a well-established torque-converter unit, with longevity aided by timely maintenance and regular ATF changes. In-vehicle electronics show recurring issues such as head-unit power interruptions, CarPlay dropouts, and ADAS warnings that can affect daily usability. Diesel emissions equipment requires routine maintenance, and heavy use or off-road work can place additional stress on cooling and related systems. Overall, a solid core drivetrain paired with strong warranty and service support contributes to durable ownership, while attention to electronic systems and emissions-related components is advisable to maintain long-term reliability.
