A shadowy figure has appeared on the Mitsubishi
Motors Malaysia Facebook page, and it appears that a new Triton will be
arriving on the Malaysian market today.
This example seems to feature a considerably lower
ride height than that of a typical Triton, which means one thing – the
workhorse Quest variant. The latest iteration with the Dynamic Shield face has
yet to debut and so this would be it, joining the range after the launch of the
2019 model at the beginning of this year.
The ‘contractor-spec’ Triton has previously done
without the VGT engine of its more generously-equipped siblings, and so the
latest Triton Quest should follow suit with a comparatively simpler engine
instead of the 2.4 litre MIVEC with variable geometry turbo.
Similarly, the Triton Quest can be expected to leave
out a lot of the equipment which marks out the higher-specced Triton variants
in the range, though ABS, EBD and dual front airbags are par for the course. We
will have to wait until tomorrow to see the exact specifications of the Triton
Quest in the metal, though the workhorse nature of this variant will likely
mean the most basic interior trim and headlamps without DRLs.
Workhorse models such as this Triton Quest are
expected to live a hard life, one which owners of the top Adventure X variant
are unlikely to subject their trucks to; the previous Triton Quest didn’t even
come with a rear bumper.
