giddyup Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I can get a very good deal on the previous model Mitsubishi Triton Double Cab, 100,000 baht discount, plus a heap of extras including free insurance, but have been told that the old model is very noisy. True or not? I don't expect a pickup to be as quiet as a petrol engined car, but if it's excessive compared to other pickups I may have to rethink my choice. I had a look at the new model yesterday and was very impressed, however that would cost me more than 250,000 baht more with no discounts and no extras.

IMHO Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) The Mitsu 4D56 can be a bit clattery from the outside when cold, but it's quieter once the engine is warm. The sound proofing in the Triton does a reasonable job of keeping the noise inside the cabin low though. What's the deal? 25% down, 0% interest and 120K discount (of which you've lost 20K in 'freebies' and insurance)?

No, the deal is a straight cash sale, 854,000 baht for the top of the range Double Cab with Sat Nav, less 100,000 baht, equals 754,000 baht. Extras in include tax and insurance, tray liner, tinting, mats, reverse sensors, wind deflectors, spare wheel lock etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rethaier Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 The engine is not noisy at all and it has plenty of power. Why don't you just test drive it and all your questions will be answered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO ,I don't think the engine is noisy,Plus it is very on fuel ..A very good ride...VERY happy with it.... In April, I bought a 2010 Triton Plus 4-dr, auto with 70,000 km on the odometer. My experience is much like yours, engine is not noisy, it's good on fuel, very good ride and I'm very happy with it. Recently, I switched to 18" alloy wheels and Falken ZE912 (265/60R18) tires and it handles even better now. Also added a Top Up sport lid, roof rails and a step bumper. It's now the best looking truck around IMHO... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coota Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I have a 2013 Mitsu Triton Plus, 4 door with mags and extra big tyres and love it, no noticeable engine noise. I was never a fan of them, did not like the loo but got offered a good deal and have not regretted it. Very powerful too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefox999uk Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Got my/our Triton Automatic 13 months ago today, same as you all the extras, (sat nav is excellent by the way, as is the cruise control.) Still sweet as a nut, very little engine noise, and more than plenty of power with the 178 bhp motor With the new model you are only paying for the new looks. (that's my opinion anyway). Have a Nice Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heybuz Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 got a 2009 triton 3.2 motor diesel no worries, don't think i would contemplate 2.5 motor supposed to be more powerfull but its just working harder also 3.2 has timing chain,2.5 has belt. as the yanks say 'theres no substitute for cubic inches' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanna Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I have owned both models and there is no difference. Being diesel the Tritons are a little more noisy than petrol Utes. Have had absolutely zero problems mechanically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
