This Japanese workhorse ute is one of the segment's longest servers, having existed since the late 1970s.
2006's fourth-generation (ML) Triton caused a stir with curvy styling that was polarising in a category renowned for tough looks. Mitsubishi, however, was simply acknowledging the potential lifestyle appeal of dual-cab utes beyond construction sites, and the unusually room rear cabin made the Triton the segment's first proper family 'car'.
The latest-generation Triton continued the theme when it was released in 2015.
