Youngins among us probably won't remember a time where pick-up trucks weren't sold to people like you and me. Only companies could buy one, and whichever lasted the longest without its wheels falling off sort of guaranteed sales of future iterations. At the tail end of the Asian Financial Crisis, sales of pick-up trucks were opened to private individual buyers; with the intention to spur car sales and at least CPR the economy being some of the commonly-understood reasons.

Malaysia’s pick-up truck market is seeing a revival of sorts, buoyed by a rapid succession of new model launches. The Toyota Hilux, Mitsubishi Triton, Isuzu D-Max, and Nissan Navara have all been updated. This will soon be followed by the new facelifted Ford Ranger and an all-new Mazda BT-50. The de-chromed new 2021 Mitsubishi Triton Athlete that you see here replaces the previous Mitsubishi Triton Adventure X. The latter’s chrome bits have been replaced with either dark chrome or polished black

If you’re a fan of Mitsubishi and 4x4s, you are probably saddened by news of Mitsubishi announcing the end of production of the Pajero in 2021. Right now is probably not a good time to be a Mitsubishi fan. The Eclipse name was revived on a crossover and sales of Mitsubishis are dwindling to the point they're exiting European markets while focusing more on ASEAN markets. The Pajero being killed off in favour of Outlanders might be the final nail in the coffin but please bear with me. The Pajero i
