TOUGH TRITON

The 2024 Mitsubishi Triton GLS is a solid option in Australia’s fiercely competitive ute market, where rugged reliability and good value are king for workhorses. Known for its versatility on both work sites and off-road adventures, the Triton has long been one of the preferred options among Aussies. But with stiff competition from big names like the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger, as well as budget-conscious options from China, how does the Triton GLS hold up in 2024? WHAT DOES IT COST, AND WHAT DO YOU GET? The Mitsubishi Triton GLS is priced a little under competitors and in terms of equipment, it offers solid value. Under the bonnet, you’ll find a 2.4-litre turbo diesel engine that pumps out 150kW of power and 470Nm of torque, coupled with Mitsubishi’s reliable…

Ad Blue Explained

A dBlue (the marketing name for diesel exhaust fluid) arrived (for diesel vehicles) with the introduction of Euro6 emissions standards in 2014. Australia is hovering around Euro5 standards. That said, most new cars sold in Australia that are also sold in Europe are Euro6 compliant. Diesel vehicles offer strong performance and mileage but the downside is they release more cancer-causing nitrogen oxide than petrol engines. With the introduction of Euro6 car makers had to develop a system to reduce harmful nitrogen oxide emissions and AdBlue (diesel exhaust fluid) delivered via a Selective Catalytic Reduction system was developed. SO, WHAT IS ADBLUE? Used in diesel vehicles, AdBlue (which is a diesel exhaust fluid) works hand in hand with a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system. As a concoction, AdBlue is nothing more…

DPFs Explained

Diesel contains a bunch of harmful compounds although regulators are mainly concerned about controlling the Big Three: carbon dioxide (CO2); Nitrogen Oxides (NOx); and particulates. But reducing, say, nitrogen oxides can see an increase in particulates. While some car makers have trialled exhaust gas recirculation on diesel engines, sure, this can help to reduce NOx emissions because an amount of exhaust gas is being directed back into the engine’s air intake thus requiring less fresh air but doing this reduces cylinder temperatures and increases particulate matter. And because particulates are carcinogenic (meaning they can cause cancer) we really don’t want more of the stuff being produced. Therefore, we have diesel particulate filters. These things capture and store the particulates (or soot) caused by diesel engines. But, because DPFs, like any…
