The Mitsubishi Triton could return, again, to the United States

Contrary to what one might think, United States it is one of the main markets for Japanese firms. Toyota, Suzuki y Mitsubishi They have had the support of their audience for many years. However, the scourge of the crisis changed his plans drastically. So much so that the Hamamatsu-based house decided to cease its activity in the country and focus on motorcycles.

The case of Mitsubishi has been better, although its offer has been seriously compromised. As of today, it only markets five models: Mirage, Mirage G4, Outlander Sport, Eclipse Cross and Outlander. As we can see, there is no pick up on offer, one of the models with the highest demand in the American country. However, this situation could change shortly, as the Triton, our L200, could come back again.

Mitsubishi's offer in the US does not include pick-ups

El Mitsubishi triton it was on sale in the United States for many years until the current generation arrived. Then, the product managers decided that it was not necessary to keep it in their catalog, since their rivals were focused on larger pick-ups. However, now that Ford will re-market in the country the Cleaning, plans have changed.

According to statements by Mark Chaffin, director of operations of Mitsubishi in United States

"We would like to have a pick up, but we'd have to have one that's right for Mitsubishi, for our demographics and something that's really competitive in the market«

This model could be Mitsubishi triton presented a few weeks ago at the Thailand Motor Show. The reason for re-marketing the Triton in the United States is very simple: the Triton is one of the Ranger's main rivals around the world. In addition, after receiving this restyling, it is a more complete product, improving the quality of its interior, its equipment possibilities and dynamic skills.

Still, there is a small problem. Mitsubishi belongs to the Renault-Nissan Alliance and your matrix is ​​taking steps on this path. The Nissan Frontier it is outdated and will shortly receive its generational relief. For this reason, and knowing that there will only be one platform For pickups in the Franco-Japanese consortium, the arrival of the Triton could be delayed until the development of the next iteration. Be that as it may, that the signature of the three diamonds makes this movement is very important, since it is recovering the lost ground in the American country.
