For those after a luxury ute at a mid-spec ute price it’s hard to go past the Triton GLS Premium, with Mitsubishi really sharpening its pencil in a bid to keep sales momentum.

For reference, to get that kind of kit in a HiLux you’d be looking at $62,420 plus on-road costs for an SR5+ Double Cab auto.
