There’s a possibility a new vehicle may appear on the lot at your Bloomington Mitsubishi dealer? Mitsubishi Motors is looking into manufacturing and selling the Triton, a pickup truck, here in the United States. This is coming after slipping sales for the company. In 2009, sales fell nearly45%. In an economy where most businesses are struggling to stay afloat, this is not good news. However, Mitsubishi Motors is not giving up! Kudos for that, as Mitsubishi cars are great!
The car company has one manufacturing plant in the United States, in Normal, IL. They too have felt the effects of lowered sales. Last year, the plant made approximately 18,000 vehicles and their capacity is stated to be 135,000. But, years ago when the plant was a joint project with Chrysler, around 240,000 autos came out of the center. If the Triton could be made there and sales for it would be profitable, this would be a great thing for the Normal car dealer.
So, you must be thinking, what are some features of the Triton? This truck is a big hit in Australia, for example. So much so, that in summer 2009, inventory was running low in the country from high sales the month of June. The Triton is both heavy duty and rugged, while at the same time a reliable family vehicle. What a great addition it would be at Bloomington IL car dealers.
The 2010 Triton’s come with quite a few safety features. For example, driver and passenger front side airbags come standard, as do child restraint points. Electronic brakeforce distribution is also on this truck. This system helps evenly apply brake pressure, based on varying surfaces, vehicle load, etc. Your Bloomington Mitsubishi dealer is hoping to carry this durable, yet safe, truck!
What type of engine and driving system is found in this truck? Several four wheel drive options are available (overseas, only, right now!). There is a new turbo diesel high performance engine in the 2010 models. One 4WD option has a 2.5L engine that gives 131 kw of power. The fuel economy on the possible Normal car dealer truck has been improved approximately 9%.
It would be great if production could come to the Normal plant. This may help generate new or keep current jobs and maybe improve the company’s overall sales? In the meantime, visit your Bloomington IL car dealers for great deals!
