I got the Triton VGT for RM7000 rebate + 2 years free service.

I needed a pickup as my old poor Saga BLM was starting to cause issues driving on horrible Sabah roads. I travel more than 150kms everyday on quite harsh road conditions and I needed one quite immediately. So far, it has served me very well and the TBNC Mitsubishi Service Center has been very cooperative and good in their services.

The Hilux is a good car too but it's way more pricey and a lot of the things i.e. roll-bar, AVN/AVX system is optional and doesn't come with the cars' pricetag. Added up, the car costs quite a bit more than the Triton. Of course, they do say the Hilux is a reliable vehicle, I'm not saying it isn't but the Triton too is quite reliable. The year-end discount rate for the Hilux is also not as much as the Triton. I have to say though, the new TRD Sportivo Kit on a Black Hilux does look kinda sick!

Personally, I don't really like the new 2015 Triton's looks. Probably only a few things in the interior that I really like i.e. the electronic selector of the 2WD/4WD mode but I'm not really off-roading that much so it doesn't matter. Most of the things like paddle shifters, interior looks are a matter of aesthetics only... and as far as aesthetics go... I'm damn satisfied with my red VGT. Even worse, it is rumoured that Malaysia will not get the Triton+MIVEC 2.4 Diesel... I think that is the biggest selling point if I were to hold on to my purchase... but alas.... it is going to be fitted with the same 2.5L VGT engine as the one I have now.
The Tritons they got were VGTs or non-VGTs? I have to admit, performance, handling, torque, po-wahhhhh is truly nice... but engine noise on a diesel somehow irks me... since I'm used to quieter engines... hehehe

Check out the new Triton, it comes with VGT standard. Didn't check on the price yet.

Just another info to add,
My 2011 i bought used, first full tank 62.667L. Mileage clocked at 710km when the fuel light came on. Thats quite decent FC
