The double-cab bakkie market is constantly evolving. If one brand launches a new model, you can be sure that the rest will be taking notice and preparing updates of their own. With traditional bakkie markets like South Africa and Australia buying huge numbers of these vehicles, it’s vital for the brands to be constantly innovating and updating.
2022 will be a big year for the South African bakkie market. Not only will we see introductions like the all-new Ford Ranger and Isuzu D-Max, but updates are scheduled for many of the other offerings, like the Hilux which will see a GR Sport version at some point. Peugeot launched its Landtrek bakkie just before the end of 2021. A locally-developed and built updated Nissan Navara joined the fray too.
What you see here are the first images of the 2024 Mitsubishi Triton. In overseas markets, this product is known as the Mitsubishi L200. Our photographers tell us this is what’s known as a chassis-testing mule. So while it vaguely resembles the current shape car with its near-identical headlights, what’s under the bodywork and can’t be seen with the naked eye is where the real changes lie.
We’re not expecting too many radical upgrades as the current shape Mitsubishi Triton offers decent refinement and offroad capability, wrapped in one good-looking package. Browse for new and used Tritons here.
