The new Mitsubishi L200 pickup truck became popular in Japan even before sales started

On the Japanese market, the truck is offered in only two expensive trim levels, both have a top-end turbodiesel and all-wheel drive.

The premiere of the new generation Mitsubishi frame pickup truck took place last summer, it was held in its production homeland — Thailand, where the model is called Triton (in some markets, including Russia, the frame is known as L200). At the same time, it was reported that the truck would return to Japan after a 12-year hiatus. Pre-orders for the new Mitsubishi Triton in the Land of the Rising Sun began to be accepted at the end of December, where it also bears the name Triton. So now the start of “live” sales on the home market has been announced. At the same time, Mitsubishi boasted of the first successes of the pickup truck.
