Mitsubishi Triton
Mitsubishi’s Triton double-cab has always been something of a left-field choice in the local bakkie wars, facing off against heavy hitters like the Hilux, Ranger, and D-Max. It does the basics — five seats, a workhorse load bed, and proper towing muscle — but the telling detail is that there’s only one listed for sale at R299,950. That undercuts its mainstream rivals by a fair stretch, which should have you pausing to think: is this a deal, or is there a catch? The 2.4-litre turbodiesel with a 4x4 auto box looks solid on paper at least, and for South African buyers who care about real-world running, that matters. That single offering is a 2020 2.4DI-D double cab 4x4 auto, clocking in at a massive 291,500 km. Let’s not sugar-coat it — that’s a lot of mileage, even by bakkie standards. At R299,950, you’re not paying for low mileage, you’re betting on condition and maintenance, so scrutinising the service history is non-negotiable because high-mileage diesels can bite back. The Triton’s trump card has always been reliability and more palatable service costs than the Euro brigade, and the 2.4 diesel generally holds up if it’s been looked after. Forget about new stock — this is a pure used-market play, a niche within a niche, and the numbers don’t pretend otherwise.
