Hey guys first time posting so forgive me if this is in the wrong section, I'm currently considering purchasing a 4x4 Ute preferably a dual cab but open to suggestions! I've done a little research and I'm quite impressed with the Mitsubishi MR 2019 GLX premium model, has anyone had any issues with one or heard of problems?

They're pretty solid reliability wise. I worked as a tech for Mitsubishi for the last 10 year and the MQ/MR has seen a good increase in reliability over the MN. Only widespread issue I can think of off the top of my head was exhaust manifold cracking but they would have sorted that by the MR.

Like anything there will always be people who have have bad experiences due to bad luck or poor dealer service, no doubt you will hear from some of them on here. But from my experience the Tritons have always been a more reliable ute then some of the other brands I was also involved with.

Thanks for replying! Have you heard anything about them burning a lot of oil? Or anything about the diff damper being ripped off while offloading?
My Dad has a MQ and he loves it very few problems thus far.

No I haven't heard of oil consumption issues, but haven't been at Mitsubishi since the start of the year. I agree the diff damper is in a dumb spot but can be easily removed. My MN has done 165,000 trouble free kms without a diff damper (never came with one).

Okay thanks heaps mate, any idea how much it would cost to remove the damper? Or is it something that can be done yourself with the right know-how?
