ʻO Mitsubishi Triton: He kaʻa huki hiki ke hele mai i ʻAmelika e hoʻopilikia iā Tacoma a me Ranger

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mitsubishi ma 2019 ʻaʻole mākou e ʻike i ka Triton L200 ma US, akā ʻike ʻia e loli ana. Wahi a nā hōʻike hou e mākaukau mākou i ka Triton L200 e heihei me nā mea hakakā nui e like me Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger a me ka Jeep Gladiator.

Me he mea lā e kokoke mai ana ʻo Mitsubishi e hana i kahi mea kupanaha me ka piʻi hou e neʻe mai nei a me nā hōʻike hou e hele mai ana ka Triton i ka US. ʻO ia hoʻi, e loaʻa paha iā mākou kekahi kaʻa midsize ʻē aʻe e hoʻokūkū me nā kaʻa midsize maikaʻi loa, me nā māhoe GMC a me Chevy ʻo Canyon a me Colorado, a me ka Ram Dakota e hiki mai ana. 

Ua like ia me ka nui no ka ʻāpana hoʻokahi, akā i kēia lā, hoʻokahi kaʻa i loko o ʻeono mau kaʻa i kūʻai ʻia ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Ke noi pinepine nei nā mea kūʻai aku i kahi mea liʻiliʻi iki ma mua o kahi kaʻa kaʻa piha piha.

Ua kaulana ma UK, akā ʻaʻole maikaʻi loa i ka US.

ʻO ka Triton L200 kahi kaʻa ikaika i kaulana a puni ka honua a ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia kekahi o nā kaʻa waena maikaʻi loa ma ʻEulopa. He mea kūʻai maikaʻi loa ia ma UK no nā makahiki, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana o ka ʻoihana hoʻokahi i ʻekolu mau kaʻa i kūʻai ʻia ma laila he Mitsubishi. 

Loaʻa iā ia kahi ʻōnaehana kaʻa huila holoʻokoʻa hiki ke hoʻololi koke mai ke kaʻa huila ʻelua no ka tarmac a me ka hoʻokele wahie i kahi laka ʻokoʻa no ka lepo a me ke one. Hiki iā ʻoe ke huki. He 3500 kg ka nui o ke kaa midsize o Mitsubishi ma UK, ʻoi aku ia ma luna o 7700 paona.

Hiki ke hoʻonohonoho kaʻa pālua

E like me nā kaʻa ʻē aʻe i kēia māhele, hele mai me ʻelua a ʻehā mau puka. Ua kapa ʻia kahi kaʻa ʻelua ʻīpuka ma ʻEulopa ʻo Club Cab, ʻo ka puka ʻehā i kapa ʻia ʻo Double Cab. Ma kahi hoʻonohonoho kaʻa ʻelua, hiki ke kūʻai ʻia me nā koho like ʻole a loaʻa kekahi mau inoa hoihoi e like me Warrior, Trojan, Barbarian a me Barbarian X.

He ʻenekini i hoʻokūkū ʻole no ka mākeke US.

Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole kūpono kona ʻenekini i kēia manawa no ka mākeke US. Hoʻohana ʻia ka L200 e kahi turbodiesel 2.3-lita me 148 horsepower wale nō akā he 317 lb-ft o ka torque. Hiki paha i ka hui ke hoʻohana i ka 6-horsepower 2.5-lita V181 Outlander, a i ʻole kēlā me kēia ʻenekini i loaʻa i ke kaʻa heihei Ralliart hou.

Ua ʻike mua ʻia kekahi mau kaʻa hoʻāʻo ʻAmelika

Ua mālama ʻia ka poʻe nānā ʻo Fast Lane Truck i kekahi mau kiʻi kiu hoihoi o ka L200 hou e hoʻāʻo ʻia nei ma ʻAmelika.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻia e hoʻāʻo ʻo Mitsubishi i ka L200 ma US no kekahi mau mahina. Ke hoʻomau mau nei ʻo Mitsubishi i ke kaʻa, ʻo ia ke ono o ka hanauna. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka hoʻolālā nui hope loa ma 2014 me kahi mea hou i 2018.

Ke manaʻo nei e hōʻano hou ʻia ke kaʻa i ka makahiki 2023, he mea kūpono ke hoʻohui ʻo Mitsubishi i nā mea āpau e pono ai e hōʻoia i ke kaʻa no ke kūʻai ʻana ma US.

ʻO ka British Triton L200, ma muli o ke kumu hoʻohālike, he 17 kapuaʻi ka lōʻihi, ma kahi o 6 iniha ka pōkole ma mua o ka Tacoma, Frontier a me Ranger. He ʻīniha a ʻelua paha ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi. Akā hiki ke loli kēia mau ana ma muli o nā kūlana ulia pōpilikia US.
