THE days of compromising on style, safety, comfort and equipment levels are over if you are the owner or driver of a 4x2 diesel pick-up, because Mitsubishi has thrown a veritable panther among the old and fading pigeons in the form of its new 2.5-litre DI-D turbo-diesel ML Triton 4x2 GLX. It seems few stones were left unturned as the Japanese full-line importer strives to pull away from Mazda, Ford, Nissan and Holden with its popular one-tonne truck. Toyota's HiLux should be worried too.
