Ownership: warranty, servicing and after-sales
What this section is. Documented, checkable ownership facts — warranty terms, published service intervals and costs, recall and court records, parts reality — each cited below. What it is not: a road test. We have not driven this vehicle, and there is no judgement here on how it rides or steers. Warranty and pricing differ by market and change; confirm locally before you buy.
Warranty
3 years / 100,000 km, whichever comes first, on powertrain main assemblies and other components per Mitsubishi domestic warranty policy
Mitsubishi Philippines has separately run a Warranty Extension Program adding a further year of cover on the engine, transmission and differential assemblies for eligible vehicles at no cost. Confirm whether it applies to the specific unit you are buying.
Parts and after-sales
Shares its drivetrain family with the Montero Sport. Mitsubishi’s local presence is long-established, though the current-generation Triton is newer to the market than its rivals.
Resale
Widely regarded in the Philippine market as holding value unusually well, which is a genuine part of the ownership case. We have NOT sourced a credible published depreciation dataset for the PH market, so we are not putting a number on it here rather than quoting one we cannot stand behind.
The eligibility window and current status of the Warranty Extension Program are unverified. Service interval pricing and parts lead times are unverified.

Mitsubishi Triton FAQ
Is the new Triton any good off-road?
Yes. The 2024-on Triton pairs Super Select 4WD-II (full-time or locked 4WD, plus low range) with a rear diff lock and seven terrain modes — a genuinely capable and flexible setup, often at a lower price than rivals.
Triton or Hilux?
The Triton usually wins on price, power and 4WD flexibility; the Hilux wins on resale and dealer reach. If value and the Super Select system appeal, the Triton is a strong buy.
How much does the Triton tow?
Up to 3,500 kg braked on the bi-turbo 4x4 — matching the class best.
