Isuzu D-MAX vs Mitsubishi Triton
The Mitsubishi Triton and Isuzu D-MAX are the value-focused alternatives in Malaysia’s pickup market, cross-shopped by buyers who want a capable double-cab without paying Hilux or Ranger money. Both are rugged, frugal and built for hard work, with loyal followings among fleet and rural owners.
The Triton leans on Mitsubishi’s bold styling, a comfortable ride and a strong warranty. The D-MAX counters with Isuzu’s reputation for diesel-engine longevity and excellent fuel economy — a favourite for high-mileage drivers.
Bottom line: Pick the Triton for styling, ride comfort and warranty; pick the D-MAX for diesel reliability and running costs.
