play00:06

I am driving the brand new Mitsubishi

play00:09

Triton no longer is it the Strada and

play00:13

the variant I'm driving now is the 2024

play00:16

Mitsubishi Tron GLS

play00:19

4x2 automatic transmission this variant

play00:22

cost 1,5 82,000 which is just

play00:26

21,000 pesos different from the manual

play00:29

yes you can have a manual for this nice

play00:33

Triton and the beauty of having a GLS

play00:36

model is it comes with 360 camera so if

play00:40

you don't need a 360 camera you may opt

play00:43

to go for the GLX variant but if I were

play00:48

you I would get the one with the 360

play00:51

camera now what I want to say is I am

play00:56

liking the drive of this nice nice ni

play00:59

nice vehicle although only the top

play01:02

variant will come with rear air vents it

play01:04

will also come with the 4x4 option and

play01:08

uh Drive modes you don't have Drive

play01:11

modes here in the GLS variant but

play01:16

driving the previous

play01:18

Strada you would feel that the car is

play01:20

bouncy especially when you are stepping

play01:22

on road imperfections please contact sir

play01:25

Adrian here in Mitsubishi Global City

play01:29

this is a 2.4 L six-speed automatic

play01:33

transmission with plus and minus modes

play01:35

like a semi manual with a single turbo

play01:38

but if you go for the higher or the top

play01:40

of the line you will have a bite turbo

play01:43

something similar with for Ranger by

play01:46

Turbo okay right I just said it feels a

play01:50

lot heavier and more planted and you

play01:53

don't feel

play01:53

bouncy uh when you go up the pumps you

play01:58

can still feel feel that it's bouncy but

play02:01

I think it has something to do with

play02:03

cargo it improves because when I was

play02:06

reviewing the car before I was always

play02:08

alone right so it's it doesn't have so

play02:10

much weight and I think I said it also

play02:13

in that video that if you have more load

play02:15

the chances are it's not going to be

play02:17

this bouncy this is already a tried and

play02:20

tested pickup truck everyone's favorite

play02:23

it also looks

play02:25

nice looking at the front face not

play02:28

everyone's happy with it we can not

play02:30

please everybody and it also looks

play02:33

different depending on what Trim in some

play02:35

trims the front grill is matte like not

play02:38

painted in some Grill it is painted so

play02:43

it will really look nice in all black

play02:46

but you know how much I like it but it

play02:50

doesn't look safe at night because it's

play02:54

all black so those people who have all

play02:57

black Strada or all black

play03:01

Montero looks nice but be

play03:04

careful now what do I feel driving this

play03:07

here in BGC

play03:09

M the steering feel weighted yeah it

play03:13

feels heavy so I think it adds to the

play03:16

driving feel

play03:20

cuz it feels like a heavy like a lesser

play03:25

heavy than a

play03:27

hux okay this is electron

play03:30

assisted

play03:31

steering so it's not the same as the

play03:35

hydraulic like you find in the previous

play03:38

cars but what I like about it is it's

play03:42

also easy to

play03:44

drive even for ladies and it is

play03:47

also heavy so you have more control of

play03:52

the

play03:53

vehicle I like the air condition buttons

play03:56

they are here digital and also it has

play03:59

physical buttons perfect the 360 camera

play04:03

very good it's a lot clear clearer than

play04:07

the Nissan

play04:09

counterpart now we're going to drive it

play04:12

so it doesn't have a drive mode so we

play04:15

are just going to try to push it a

play04:17

little I think the six-speed automatic

play04:20

transmission really is the sweet part of

play04:23

this vehicle because like there's no

play04:26

drag and there's no sound of like you

play04:30

know something like that trying to uh

play04:33

like take the bite for the car to move

play04:36

this one it has in the low gear at least

play04:38

we're going slow waa even though I press

play04:41

the gas still good so this is a great

play04:44

great tuned vehicle after all now the

play04:48

play06:19

the humps wow you don't feel

play06:21

bouncy you feel

play06:24

solid ah and then the oh from mitigation

play06:30

works so well there was actually a

play06:31

pedestrian just walking you know looking

play06:34

at the phone just in the middle of the

play06:37

road but the car was able

play06:40

to realize that there's someone and you

play06:43

can actually hear the sound audibly and

play06:45

also visually you can see it that's nice

play06:49

when we filled the gas it was automatic

play06:52

stop and it gave us 889 km of range on a

play06:58

full t

play07:01

and I like the sound of the

play07:03

blinkers this is a rear wheel

play07:05

drive

play07:07

oh good traction it's

play07:11

sticky it doesn't feel like I'm bouncing

play07:13

around even though there are little pot

play07:15

holes usually you would feel that in the

play07:17

previous

play07:19

generation

play07:21

oh

play07:23

okay I will have a longer experience

play07:26

better experience with the car when I

play07:28

borrow the car from Mitsubishi

play07:30

Philippines if they lend it to me but

play07:33

you know it's a safe pickup 360 camera

play07:37

blind spot warning front

play07:39

mitigation good air con good

play07:42

transmission very practical car

play07:45

including the sunglass case or

play07:47

eyeglasses case easy to drive looks nice

play07:52

make sure to visit Mitsubishi BGC and

play07:54

look for sir Adrien and make sure to

play07:58

fill what this vehicle can do many

play08:01

things I see are Nissan so I cannot

play08:04

understand why some people are saying

play08:06

this one derived from the Navara instead

play08:08

of the other way around but I still

play08:11

believe that this partnership or having

play08:13

in the same umbrella it

play08:15

benefits and if the previous trada was a

play08:20

bit sharp now this one became a bit more

play08:23

tough meaning before it used to look

play08:27

like uh this septicon now it looks more

play08:31

of a

play08:33

Autobot so depends on your taste you

play08:37

will like it or you will not like it and

play08:39

it will also depend on the trim and also

play08:42

how you will set up the vehicle you know

play08:44

this is a off-road worthy vehicle so if

play08:47

you have off-roading activities what do

play08:50

you think will this serve its purpose

play08:53

this is a pickup but in the Philippines

play08:55

it is used for like I know Pang Forma

play08:58

you know those things so let me know do

play09:01

you think this vehicle is does it serve

play09:04

two purpose for its uh pickup nature and

play09:09

also being City driven and being a

play09:11

family vehicle but I think the biggest

play09:13

floss for this variant is not having

play09:16

rear air vents so I hope that will be

play09:19

addressed and I I hope that becomes

play09:22

the the immediate

play09:25

upgrade and I have no more memory I'll

play09:28

see you in the next video

play09:30

may your dreams come through everyone

play09:32

bye-bye
