With a mechanical robustness you just won’t find with many other old school pickups, the Mitsubishi L200 is a great choice for work as well as play. The L200 Series 3 1996-06 was particularly innovative for its time, with a series of changes signalling a new era for this popular Mitsubishi model as RAC details:
“It was at this stage that the ‘new’ L200 was introduced offering a more modern, rounded look and plusher interiors. Two engines were offered, both based on a 2.5-litre diesel block. The naturally aspirated engine made 74bhp while the turbocharged and intercooled version was good for 98bhp. Both engines were available in either rear-wheel drive versions or the more aggressive four-wheel drive guise, identifiable by its bonnet mounted air scoop.”
As a great all-rounder with several car-like features, we can see exactly why the Triton is so prevalent on the work scene. Over the years however, the MK has been surpassed by newer rivals – that’s where the right upgrades come in handy. Read on to discover our top picks for work for the K74…

Old Man Emu OME Suspension Lift Kit
Next, it’s time to sort out that OE suspension, which is certain to become less efficient as the years roll by.

This is why upgrading your suspension is so necessary.

Our Old Man Emu OME Suspension Lift Kit is ideal for use on and off road. It offers flexible options for varying amounts of weight to make towing a caravan or trailer a breeze.
