Three weaknesses we found on 2025 Mitsubishi Triton

Honestly, I’m not someone who enjoys driving pickup trucks, but my recent experience with the 2025 Mitsubishi Triton is still fresh in my memory.

Apart from its more refreshed appearance, the new Triton now features a new platform and engine, a tuned suspension system, and a more user-friendly cabin layout.

In short, this new Triton offers impressive on-road performance, while still being capable of tackling tougher and more challenging off-road routes.

However, in my opinion, there are three shortcomings that Mitsubishi should address to make the Triton a more valuable offering, justifying every ringgit spent.

1. Absence of a 360-Degree Camera

Did you know that the 2025 Triton uses a new platform that provides larger dimensions—longer, wider, and taller?

This means that this sixth-generation pickup truck is the largest model ever produced in Triton’s history.

Unfortunately, this increase in size does not come with a 360-degree (or 540-degree) camera feature.

The lack of this feature makes driving a bit challenging, especially when navigating narrow areas or winding through overgrown paths that lack clear routes.

The fairly high front bonnet structure at times makes me feel less confident when driving in tight spaces.

2. Subtle Steering Vibrations Can Make Driving Fatiguing

Based on my experience, I found that the steering response of the new Triton is very easy to handle, even though the Triton has grown in size.

The Lane Change Warning (LCA) feature enhances driving safety, as it only vibrates when the driver is detected not using the turn signal to change lanes.

The absence of Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) isn’t a significant issue. However, what I noticed is that the steering system of the Triton produces subtle vibrations while driving on the highway.

For short-distance driving, this slight vibration is not a problem, but it can become tiring for the driver over longer distances.

3. Rear Headrest Structure Is Not Passenger (or Driver) Friendly

When I switched to the rear seats, I found that the rear bench of the 2025 Triton offers a comfortable reclining angle that isn’t too upright.

However, this comfort is hindered by the headrest structure, which does not adequately support a comfortable head position.

If you observe, the second-row passenger headrests are tilted forward. Therefore, rear passengers may feel slightly more upright than usual.

The position of the center headrest can also obstruct the rearview mirror’s field of vision, so it’s advisable to remove that headrest if your pickup truck isn’t carrying extra passengers.
