As a brand, Mitsubishi has evolved a great deal over the last few decades and shifted their direction away from regular passenger car sedans and hatchbacks, choosing to focus instead on pickup trucks, SUVs, and MPVs. It is the first of this three that really represents the bread and butter of Mitsubishi in a number of markets, especially in Malaysia – and this is represented by the Mitsubishi Triton.
At one point in its history, Malaysians may have known the Triton as the Storm, although the naming scheme changed and has been consolidated into what we see today. The first generation of the Triton was launched all the way back in the 1970s, and the second in the mid 1980s. The third generation is where Malaysians were first introduced to the product in the mid 1990s, while the fourth generation was a huge generational leap in the mid 2000s.
