- Towing specs finally segment-matching
- Efficient bi-turbo diesel
- Long conditional warranty
- Infuriating driver attention monitor
- Idle stop-start is painfully laggy
- Transmission needs more gears

Colours Available
Ford is giving its gen-two Ranger and Ranger Raptor a handful of colours including some brilliant bright colours for the alter, including one exclusive to the flagship ute.
However, if you like 50 shades of grey – or, in this case, three – you’ll still have some options that’ll suit.
The colour palette comprises the following:
- Absolute Black
- Aluminium
- Arctic White
- Blue Lightning
- Meteor Grey
- Sedona Orange
- Luxe Yellow (Wildtrak only)
- Code Orange (Raptor only)
- Conquer Grey (Raptor only)
The 2024 Mitsubishi Triton is available in the following colours:
- White solid (GLX, GLX+, GLS)
- White Diamond prestige (GLS, GSR)
- Black Mica prestige (GLX+, GLS, GSR)
- Red solid (GLX+, GLS)
- Blade Silver metallic (GLX, GLX+, GLS)
- Graphite Grey metallic (all models)
- Impulse Blue metallic (GLX+, GLS)
- Yamabuki Orange prestige (GSR)
All models feature a black interior, though the GLX+ and GLS feature silver stitching and the GSR orange stitching.

Reviews
Want a ute that can go anywhere, but can't quite stretch to a Raptor? The new Ford Ranger Tremor promises just that, and delivers.
Josh Nevett
The Triton GLS has plenty of bling inside and out, though the calibration of some of its safety systems leave a lasting impression.
