Mitsubishi Motors Corp. will bring back its Triton pickup truck to Japan next year after a 12-year hiatus from its home market, targeting customers in rural areas and the boom in outdoor activities like camping.
The new model dual-cab five-seater will cost around ¥5.4 million ($37,000) when it hits the market in February — more expensive than rival Toyota Motor Corp.’s Hilux pickup, which starts at around ¥4 million in Japan.
