What Was the Last Year Mitsubishi Made a Pickup Truck?

Mitsubishi Motors has been a pioneer in the pickup truck industry for decades. The Japanese car manufacturer has produced some of the most reliable, powerful and stylish pickups ever made. In recent years, however, Mitsubishi has pulled out of the pickup truck market with the discontinuation of its Triton model in 2015. This begs the question: What was the last year Mitsubishi made a pickup truck?

The answer is 2015. That year, Mitsubishi announced that production of its Triton pickup truck would be discontinued after 11 years on the market. The Triton was first released in 2004 as a successor to the L200 model and quickly became popular in various markets around the world due to its robustness and reliability. It featured a 2.5L turbo diesel engine and could tow up to 2,500 kg – making it an ideal vehicle for construction work or off-roading.

The Triton was offered with both single and double cab options, as well as 4×4 and 4×2 drivetrains for maximum versatility. It also came with a host of features such as cruise control, climate control, power windows/locks, ABS brakes and more – making it one of the most well-equipped pickups on the market at that time.

However, despite its popularity, Mitsubishi decided to discontinue production of the model in 2015 due to declining sales in many global markets – particularly in North America where it never achieved much success.

The discontinuation of the Triton marked an end to Mitsubishi’s presence in the pickup truck market – at least for now. Since then, there have been no announcements from Mitsubishi regarding future plans for another pickup truck model.

Conclusion:

It is clear that 2015 was indeed the last year Mitsubishi made a pickup truck – their iconic Triton model – before pulling out of this sector altogether due to declining sales around the world. As such, there are currently no plans for another Mitsubishi pickup truck model anytime soon – though this could always change should demand pick up again in this segment.
